Terese's behaviour has been about her paranoia over Lauren and Brad which was justified, Lauren has always wanted Brad she offered herself up on a platter to him and he took it, cheating scum :angry:Quote:

No wonder she became neurotic and paranoid!
I've got no sympathy for the pair of them at all. :angry:
I don't have any sympathy for Brad and Lauren either. They could have handled the situation much better than they did.
Also what is happening with Terese's alcohol problem? That seems to have been forgotten completely. There were a few meetings but that is the last I remember being said about it.

I'd also forgotten about her alcohol problem! Obviously it wasn't so much of a problem afterall.Quote:

Today's episode was another example of why I dislike Paige at present. She really didn't seem to care at all about how Brad moving in with Lauren would effect her siblings (including Amber, not just the Willis kids). I was also a bit surprised at how unbothered Piper seemed to be with things - she seemed perfectly happy to hang out with Brad at Lauren's.
I don't blame Piper. She hasn't seen her Dad for ages, so why shouldn't she go over there? it was unfair of Imogen to expect otherwise.Quote:

No, it just comes down to being selfish and putting what he wants before his family's feelings.
I'm disappointed in Piper too. No one asked her to stay away from her dad, just to not betray her mum by playing happy families with him and Lauren. A perfectly reasonable thing to ask as she still has plenty of opportunities to see him. I really don't think any child in her position would have immediately gone over there like that.
When Terese found out about Brad's cheating, she got some of her fight back and determined once and for all to beat her alcohol problem. I assume that's going well since nothing further's been mentioned.Quote:

Yeah I agree, it does make interesting viewing for us neighbours fans!Quote:

I'd watch that!!!
Me too!Quote:

I think Brad is a waste of space and they would both be better off without him. I remember Brad and Lauren from 20 years ago, which is why I find it hard to buy into this whole "long-ago lovers reunited by fate" scenario.Quote:

Looking forward to seeing Paige's reaction the first time Brad and Lauren have an argument, she won't be able to handle it.Quote:

That just 'lowers' Terese to Brad's behaviour. It's none the better.Quote:

Brad is a serial cheater. He's never happy with what he's got! Frankly, I can't see him and Lauren lasting for long, but I do hope Terese finds someone else to settle down with.
Amen to that! I'd love to see Terese happy with someone else.Quote:

Haha! Yes, he really does need help. He definitely has commitment issues.I wonder if we will ever see the infamous Ned. I know the producers are keeping him on a back burner but it would be interesting to see his relationship with Brad. Does anyone know if Brad has had much to do with him over the years?Quote:

I was just thinking the same thing. In reality I'm sure a man like Brad would have cheated on Terese several times already. Of course, the writers want to persuade us that he and Lauren are a true love story. However, the majority of us on this forum are not at all convinced by it.Quote:
