She knew exactly what she was doing and she knew exactly how much hurt it would cause without a second thought for anyone else.
Ugh, I just don't like her :p
She doesn't intentionally hurt them. She's not that bad really.Quote:

Although Terese did make efforts later to welcome Paige, she was still clearly battling with feelings of paranoia and jealousy. When Matt died and Lauren was alone, I think she developed a desire to re-create that happy family unit with Brad in the role Matt had previously played. She clearly didn't give any thought to how hurt Terese and the kids would be when she was folding that photo and planning to get Brad and Lauren back together. She may not have been the cause of all Brad and Terese's problems but she certainly didn't help! She didn't respect that they had been married for 20 years and had a family together and never once tried to empathise with Terese. I always though she had a rather prickly relationship with Imogen too and clearly preferred Amber. The writers have turned her into a spoilt petulant selfish manipulative brat and I can't bring myself to feel any sympathy for her upset about Brad and Lauren's breakup as she is acting like a child whose favourite toy has been taken away and given to someone else 😀 she should do something with her life instead of making a nuisance of herself with her obsession with Brad and Lauren and Mark/Tyler.Quote:

I don't think Paige wants to be horrible I just think she can't help it LOL,,,, just my thoughts.....Quote:

Then with Mark, when they broke up after their first go at things, she was devastated and basically said she could see herself settling with him and when they got back together, as soon as he brings up long term commitment, she says they aren't right for each other.
I can appreciate she is thinking she's too young for kids, but she must have known that going into a relationship with a 10 year age gap (is that right?) that Mark would be way ahead in terms of where he wants to be. It seems like she wants that "perfect romance" but without the hard bits, the working at it and any long term commitment. Tyler and Mark should both runaway from her.
Agree she treats Tyler pretty badly almost constantly why is he in love with her? :searchme: he's supportive of her many issues or tries to be at least and her not understanding he needed space when he asked for it and when he kissed her a few weeks back acted like it never even happened. she is often so insensitive and oblivious to his feelings

Mark’s devastated when Paige is hit by a car right in front of him...
With Paige missing after a row, Mark is terrified that something terrible has happened to his girlfriend when Brad accidentally reveals that she’s slipped away on a mystery errand.
Instantly realising that Paige has gone to find Michelle, it’s a race against time for Mark to locate his other half before it’s too late. He doesn’t know she’s already been kidnapped by men believing she’s Dimato’s sidekick, Michelle! (What are the odds, eh?)
When Mark and Lauren decide to check out an old Dimato haunt, they quickly find evidence Paige has been there very recently and the revelation leaves the pair panicking about where she is now.
Meanwhile, Paige is fearing for her life when the man holding her won’t believe she isn’t Michelle.
As things are looking bleak for the brunette, she manages to put all those hours of boxing training into practice! She knocks out her captor, escapes her makeshift prison and immediately makes a run for it down the road.
Incredibly luckily for her, that’s where Mark happens to be waiting, having been tipped off about where she’s being held!
Paige is desperate to be back in Mark’s arms (and who can blame her - just look at the hunk in that uniform!) She’s so impatient for their long-awaited reunion that she doesn’t look where she’s going and as she carelessly crosses the road, she runs right into the path of an oncoming car!
If being kidnapped, help captive and then run over wasn’t enough for one day, it also turns out that the person driving the car is the kidnapper who she knocked out cold eariler! Oh, no.
Mark can’t bear the thought of losing his fiancee and cradles her in his arms as they wait for the emergenct services to arrive - her fate reminding him all too much of the day he lost Kate.
Meanwhile, Lauren is also struggling with the stark reminder of Matt’s death and it’s a race against time to get her daughter to hospital so she doesn’t meet the same fate as he did. Is it already too late?
Luckily, it looks like Paige will be okay and Mark is so thrilled that he tells her they have to get married as soon as possible.
Little do they know Michelle is about to return to Ramsay Street and the dangerous Dimato saga is far from over..
What happens next?
Paige continues to help Michelle but now it’s behind Mark’s back..

Is Michelle playing Paige?
She insists she’s in terrible danger...
Just when Paige thought her trouble’s were finally behind her, Michelle turns up at her house out of the blue this week - and claims that crook Dimato has been abusing her!
Paige is horrified to see that Michelle has been beaten black and blue and takes her in for the night behind Mark’s back. Can Paige really trust the gangster’s moll?
“Paige is a good person and Michelle is a convincing victim,” explains Olympia Valance, aka Paige. “Michelle tells her that Dimato has been physically abusing her. Paige is hesitant to accept the story at first but she does believe that Michelle is in dire straits and needs a safe place to stay.”
When Mark eventually hears about Michelle’s reappearance, he warns Paige she’s being played - but his headstrong fiancée refuses to listen. When Michelle asks Paige to organise a new SIM card in her name, before urging the girl to help her get a flar lease, Paige is happy to help.
“Paige’s instincts are usually spot on,” reckons Olympia. “I think in this case, she can only see a woman being victimised and her empathy for Michelle clouds her judgement. If she found out Michelle was playing her, she’d be very hurt - but she’d also feel stupid because it would mean that Mark was right about her all along!”
Is Michelle telling the truth about Dimato - or will Paige live to regret her generosity?

An unlikely alliance forms between Paige and Paul as they both get caught up in Michelle and Dimato’s dodgy dealings Despite Mark’s warning for Paige to stay away from Michelle, who keeps getting Paige into trouble, Paige can’t help but offer her friend a place to stay when she rocks up to the Turner house bruised but when some of Michelle’s bruise makeup wears off it’s clear that she’s up to no good.
Pushing the friendship, Michelle (Ra Chapman) asks Paige (Olympia Valance) to get her a SIM card in Paige’s name and she does without a thought for what Michelle could really be using it for. She later suggest Paige also get her an apartment in Paige’s name but it’s not until Dimato (David Serafin), frustrated with Michelle’s lack of progress with the plan, slaps Michelle for real this time, that Paige is motivated to sign the lease.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) first gets mixed up with Dimato when they make a deal for the gazebo business Paul started with Amy (Zoe Cramond).
Wanting to check out Dimato’s business credentials before getting involved in another venture with him, Paul finds stolen goods in the apartment Paige leased for Michelle.
While Dimato makes Paul a tempting offer to forget what he’s seen, on Amy’s advice Paul decides to do the right thing and tell Paige.
To confirm Paul’s information, Paige checks out the apartment and finds the stash. She confronts Michelle who admits it’s payback for Paige sending Michelle to jail.
A scuffle breaks out; Michelle pins Paige down and calls the police about suspicious activity at the apartment in Paige’s name and then phones with details on the houses the goods were stolen from.
Paige is shocked and realises she’s been stitched up big time. She reaches out to Paul for help but will he be able to pull her out of this mess before she gets in deeper?

Neighbours' Olympia Valance could be about to follow in the Hollywood footsteps of former Home and Away star Chris Hemsworth.
The actress, who currently plays Paige Smith in the Australian soap, has been scouted by the same agent that looks after Chris and his brother Liam.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, she said: "I am very, very, very, very lucky, because people go over there [to the States] and work their asses off to find an agent, but these guys came to me.
"We work closely already and they know that I am on a TV show here, but they just want to keep the relationship going until we can do other things."
Valance has already expressed an interest in moving on from Neighbours once her contract comes to an end, but has revealed she would never rule out returning in the future.
She said: "I am very happy with Neighbours - I couldn't have asked for a better job. I am so lucky to be there and I have said to the producers, 'Do not kill me off', because if I ever decide to have a little break away from Neighbours, I want the opportunity to come back.
"As an actor, I definitely want to aspire to new things, but then again I don't want to take from my job that I love.
"I am doing TV and I love soaps, but it would be nice to try something different, I would love to do a movie. LA might be down the line."
Bye bye .......
I think Paige and Lauren should move off after Amber
Good riddance Paige!
I loved her when she first arrived, but they've made her so immature over the last few months that I wouldn't miss her!
Paige ends up on the wrong side of the law when her innocent attempt to help Michelle has criminal repercussions.
Part one of Michelle’s plan has gone off without a hitch, with Paige providing a seemingly bruised Michelle shelter. Now, the crim is pulling Paige (Olympia Valance) further into her web by successfully convincing Paige to buy her a SIM card in Paige’s name.
Next, Michelle (Ra Chapman) suggests Paige also put her name on the lease of an apartment Michelle can stay in and also organise a meeting with Tyler (Travis Burns).
Updating Dimato (David Serafin), Michelle tells him she has to stay in a shelter and he’s frustrated she hasn’t got the apartment yet or let Tyler in on the plan.
Michelle’s suggestion she hook up with Tyler to get him on-side is the final straw for Dimato, who slaps her, which makes her lies about being assaulted seem real. Ready to give up her revenge mission, Michelle pulls herself together. She wins Paige’s sympathy over Dimato’s latest attack and Paige agrees to the lease.
As Paige and Michelle grow closer, things start to unravel when Dimato asks Paul to join him in a business venture. Being the savvy businessman he is, Paul decides to check Dimato’s credentials and is stunned to find stolen goods in the apartment Paige leased for Michelle. Paul turns down a bribe to forget what he’s seen and tells Paige what he’s found.
Paige is horrified when she checks out the apartment and sees the stolen good for herself. Michelle reveals it’s all part of a revenge plan.
After a scuffle, Michelle pins Paige to the ground and calls the police, informing them about the apartment in Paige’s name and the phone with the details of the robbed houses. How will Paige get out of this one?

Purely speculation here though :p haha
Paige wants to focus on her wedding but she keeps thinking about the mistakes in her past.
On-again off-again loves Paige and Mark have always been opposites. She is a headstrong rebel while he is a responsible police officer dedicated to upholding the law, so when they became housemates, sparks flew. Paige was the first person Mark ever considered moving on with after the tragic death of his fiancee Kate, who was shot dead minutes after Mark proposed.
Now Mark (Scott McGregor) is ready to marry again, worried Paige (Olympia Valance) might suffer a similar fate after she was run down while escaping her kidnapper earlier this year. So he’s keen to have their big day as soon as possible.
What Mark doesn’t know is that Paige has got herself caught up in all sorts of trouble once again. Thinking she was helping Michelle (Ra Chapman) escape Dimato’s (David Serafin) abuse, Paige provided Michelle with a phone and shelter by signing a lease on an apartment in her own name. Later Paige found the apartment full of stolen goods with Michelle framing her as part of a revenge plan.
Now Paige is in a race against time to get rid of the goods before she’s caught for a crime she didn’t commit. As if being a bride isn’t nerve racking enough, Paige is stressed about so much more than saying her vows.
Though Paige considers confessing, she’s worried about what Mark will think. Having formed something of an alliance with Paul (Stefan Dennis) she seeks his and decides to get rid of the stolen goods. When she dumps them in a charity bin Paul warns her that Mark will find out if she tips off the police and her fingerprints will be found. She runs back to the charity bin only to find the goods have disappeared.
There’s no time to look, however, as she has to be at the hens and bucks party but Paige’s mind is clearly elsewhere. Lauren asks an obviously distracted Paige what is wrong but Paige tells her she’s worried Mark will soon find out her true colours. Mark tries to calm Paige too but she lets him think she’s just feeling nervous about the wedding.
Just when you think Paige didn’t already have enough on her plate her grandfather Doug’s alzheimer’s is getting worse and she’s distraught when Doug can’t remember who Mark is. He’s much better the following morning so Paige decides to move the ceremony forward so Doug will be able to enjoy the occasion.
After sending Mark a text to let him know the time change she gets on with her preparations, thinking little of it when he doesn’t reply.
Will Mark and Paige make it down the aisle or will Paige’s past mistakes come back to haunt her?

Will Mark find out what Paige has been up to?
With a wedding to plan, bride-to-be Paige should be focusing on her special day. Instead, she’s desperately trying to dodge being implicated in a crime!
Paige (Olympia Valance) doesn’t want her fiancé, Mark (Scott McGregor) to find out Michelle (Ra Chapman) framed her for having stolen goods.
“She feels absoultely sick in her stomach at the thought of having let him down,” Olympia, 23, says.
Police officier Mark warned Paige about getting involved with Michelle but she didn’t listen.
“The fear of disappointing him outweighs her desire to come clean,” Olympia adds.
Paige thinks if she returns the stolen goods, the whole problem will be fixed but they’ve gone missing and she has no idea where they are!
The young woman tries to pretend everything is fine but is clearly distracted as they celebrate their hens’ and bucks’ party.
Her behaviour puzzles Mark, who wonders if she’s having reservations about the wedding.
Paige assures him it’s just nerves.
“The thought of losing Mark or damaging what they have so close to their wedding, is too much for her to bear,” Olympia says.
However, secrets have a way of coming out and Paige is playing with fire!
