I really don't like the fact that Piper did a video for Tyler, especially after the Ben story with his girlfriend. I don't think Tyler is the sort to use it to Pipers disadvantage .... but once its out there .... its so easy to loose control of it.
I agree about Paige. Her attitude to John is incredibly selfish. She said she'd wait for him, but started pressuring him again the very next episode! :wall:Quote:

As for Piper, Tyler is the one who's coming off badly in my opinion. OK, he's trying to slow things down and get her parents' permission, but what he should be doing is not even contemplating having a sexual relationship with a schoolgirl.
As I've said previously, I don't like the way the story is being written with Piper on the surface being the aggressor and Tyler the one who's doing the right thing. If you examine the storyline more closely, it's him to blame for allowing things to progress so far. He's older and knows full well why the relationship would be frowned upon, while she's immature and totally inexperienced in adult relationships.
I so agree with you about the video and was very surprised she did it after what she said to Xanthe. It's very inconsistent writing.Quote:

Plus, there isn't really anyone around Tyler's age on the show apart from Paige now that Nate and Ned has left... Seems like he's got no friends so they're putting him with Piper and Ben (I like his friendship with Ben though, very sibling like).

Travis Burns confirmed in a Q&A with Neighbours Official Facebook page that him & his character Tyler are the same age. Both Travis & Tyler were born in 1991, making them 24. Scroll down on the link below to find his answer. Travis & Tyler turned 25 in 2016.
I don't have a problem with Piper and Tyler. They seem well suited, and he's much better for her than her previous boyfriend. I know she's still at school, but the age gap isn't that much.
I don't have a problem with the age gap. In fact, when I was nineteen I had a relationship with a man eight years older than myself. My daughter has been seeing a man with an even bigger age gap between them for some years. I've never been bothered by it, but the difference is we were both adults when the relationships started.
I like Tyler (well I used to anyway) but I think he has very little in common with Piper and his judgment has proved to be questionable at best. I doubt their relationship would last - at least not in the real world.
Saying all that, Therese and Brad are in a very tricky position because banning them from seeing each other is likely to exacerbate the problem. I think I'd just ban them from sleeping together until she's seventeen if I was them. Of course it's easy to be objective when you're not emotionally involved!
