The Varga-Murphy family: Cara Remi JJ and Dex

[Pantherboy]

would cara surely recognise andrew as jj father if he is

Andrew was supposedly an anonymous sperm donor. A little while back JJ told Dex the story from the old diary that he found from his mum's friend Phillipa. I can't remember all the details, but I think Cara & Remi were going to use a sample from a US donor, but Cara instead actually used a sample that her friend Phillipa had, but didn't use (without telling Remi). So, Cara & Remi never knew Andrew (I am not sure whether Phillipa actually knew Andrew, or he was an anonymous donor for her as well - maybe someone else remembers what JJ said about what was in the diary??).


Some of it is mentioned in this Metro.co.uk article:

Neighbours spoilers: Andrew Rodwell destroyed as JJ Varga-Murphy drops huge bombshell

https://metro.co.uk/2023/10/22/neigh...o=newsnow-feed


Relevant parts of the article include:

"JJ, as viewers know, believes that Andrew is his biological father, having discovered an old diary belonging to his mum?s friend Phillipa which pretty much confirms such a theory."

And:

"It?s likely that Wendy has no clue that Andrew anonymously donated a sample of his sperm to Cara. Cara, meanwhile, is thought to have let Remi believe that the sample she used to conceive was from a US donor."

Two things about that is how could she write anything about Andrew in her diary if he was an unknown sperm donor and why did Phillipa have a sperm sample for them to use it gets more confusing the more you think about it

I actually thought the controversy was that she slept with andrew and didnt use a sperm sample. If it was a sperm sample then what is the problem with the partner knowing

[Bossy7]

Cara, Andrew & Toadie all knew Phillipa. Remi & Wendy did not like her. At the time Andrew gave Phillipa the sample, Wendy was trying to get pregnant and her relationship with Andrew was rocky.
Cara was also desperate to get pregnant. Neither Cara nor Andrew could tell their partners what they had done.

Maybe Im the only one but I really wanted Andrew to be the dad!! Way more drama for both families if it turned out that way. Think the writers missed a really good opportunity here.
Remi, Wendy and Dex need all the help they can get. Dont find any of those characters likeable or engaging.

^ toadie knew philipa?

Neighbours lines up dangerous new storyline for JJ Varga-Murphy
Gang leader Slade threatens him.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...murphy-danger/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours teen JJ Varga-Murphy makes an enemy next week as a dramatic new storyline begins.

The Erinsborough High schoolboy finds himself in trouble as a gang starts causing problems in the local area.

Upcoming episodes see the business owners at the Lassiters complex compare notes over a group of kids who have started to cross the line.

This includes issues with graffiti and vandalism, leaving police sergeant Andrew Rodwell with lots on his plate as he tries to resolve the community's concerns.

s the problems continue to intensify, JJ steps in to scare off gang leader Slade and his cronies after he catches them committing another act of vandalism.

JJ is pleased to have made an impact with his brave intervention, but his ego takes a beating when his mums Cara and Remi find out.

As Cara expresses her concerns over the situation, it's clear that she's still dealing with the emotional toll of her own whistleblowing past involving the Linwell brothers.

It seems that Cara was right to be worried when JJ finds himself in another threatening situation with Slade. This is only the beginning of bigger problems to come, with the story set to continue in the weeks that follow.

Other spoilers released this week have revealed that Aaron Brennan will find himself in a violent confrontation with Slade. Andrew steps in to break the pair up, sensing that Aaron's outburst is influenced by his grief.

Meanwhile, James Beaufort has been cast as Andrew's brother Felix, who'll share some intriguing scenes with JJ in early March.

Neighbours airs JJ's gang trouble on Tuesday, February 20.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

Anyone interested in this SL??

I?d much rather explore the missing pages of PHILLIPAs diary. ANDREW knows way more than hes saying and now that his brother is coming to town I think we are going to see this.

Writers seem to be struggling for SLs with the school kids. So far I cannot be bothered with this group other than JJAY and his paternity.

Neighbours' JJ Varga-Murphy in terrible danger as gang storyline intensifies
Will he be okay?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...y-slade-visit/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours teen JJ Varga-Murphy faces danger at Erinsborough High next week as the show's gang storyline continues.

JJ is targeted by Slade Westall following his recent brave attempts to stand up to the new villain in town.

Slade was introduced to the soap last month when he and a group of friends terrorised Melanie Pearson after using a dating app to lure her into a trap.

More recent episodes have revealed that Slade and his cronies are responsible for a spate of graffiti, vandalism and other anti-social behaviour around the Lassiters complex.

JJ stepped in to confront Slade when he spotted him up to no good in Monday's episode (February 19), but it appeared that he may have made a dangerous enemy.

Next week, JJ puts on a brave face as he doesn't want his younger brother Dex to know that he's afraid of Slade.

Slade soon shows up at Erinsborough High, forcing JJ to realise that the threats against him are very real.

Later, JJ and Dex walk to the complex and they're confronted by Slade and his gang yet again.

Show bosses have confirmed that JJ finds himself in "a whole world of trouble" ? will this latest showdown have a violent end?

Earlier this week, Aaron Brennan had a separate showdown with Slade after discovering that he'd spitefully vandalised the Drinks Divas van on Ramsay Street.

Slade and his accomplices defaced the images of Melanie and David Tanaka on the vehicle, just days after David's tragic death.

Aaron went on the attack when he caught up with Slade, but police sergeant Andrew Rodwell was nearby and stepped in to pull him away.

Neighbours airs JJ's gang danger on Tuesday, February 27.

Neighbours confirms knife drama in JJ and Slade story
Erinsborough High goes into lockdown.

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours teen JJ Varga-Murphy steals a knife next week as he fears for his safety in the show's ongoing gang storyline.

The schoolboy makes a dangerous decision after a violent encounter with new villain Slade Westall.

JJ made an enemy of Slade earlier this week ? confronting him and his cronies when they were vandalising the Drinks Divas van on Ramsay Street. He also bravely spoke to the police about what had happened.

Next week, Slade exacts his revenge by turning up at Erinsborough High to threaten JJ. When JJ later heads to the Lassiters complex with his younger brother Dex, menacing Slade appears again and attacks him.

In the aftermath, JJ urges Dex not to tell anyone about Slade's attack. He then decides to arm himself for any future confrontation and steals a sharp chef's knife from Harold's Caf?.

JJ's reckless actions spiral out of control when his mum Cara pays him a visit at school.

The troubled teen rushes to hide the knife, so he stashes it between the lockers and a wall in the school corridor. When Cara ushers him off to class, JJ leaves the knife behind.

Meanwhile, the Education Department pays a visit to Erinsborough High as part of the proposed merger with Terese Willis' planned retirement village.

There's bad news for Terese and Jane Harris when the Department raises various concerns, including a lack of deviation between the construction site and the school boundary.

Things only get worse when Curtis Perkins finds JJ's stashed knife in the corridor and orders an immediate school lockdown.

Dex assumes that the knife belongs to Slade, but will he discover the worrying truth about JJ's involvement?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, February 28.

Neighbours teenager JJ Varga-Murphy to be punished over knife secret
JJ quickly confesses after his guilt gets the better of him.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-knife-secret/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' JJ Varga-Murphy will be punished after confessing to his knife secret next week.

New scenes will see the teenager arm himself with a knife as his war with Slade Westall escalates, notably after being attacked by the villain in the Lassiters complex during a visit with younger brother Dex.

JJ then steals the knife from Harold's Caf?, though is suddenly forced to hide the weapon between the school's lockers and corridor wall when his mum Cara turns up.

Things get riskier given the Education Department is visiting Erinsborough High due to the proposed merger with Terese Willis' planned retirement village, and sure enough the knife is discovered by Curtis Perkins, leading to an immediate lockdown.

In follow-on scenes set to air next Thursday (February 29), doubt grows over whether the weapon was brought in by the gang after discovering it is a commercial kitchen knife.

When Lana from the Department leaves, she is undecided about the consequences given the full story is unknown, and Jane is frustrated that Terese couldn?t be of more help.

Local police sergeant Andrew soon learns that the knife went missing from Harold's Caf? during the lunch rush, leading to JJ, Dex and Nell being interrogated as they were on the scene at the time.

While JJ initially covers, his guilt overpowers him and he later admits that he stole the knife. As a consequence, he receives a warning from Andrew and suspension from school.

Dex questions what will happen to Slade given he assaulted JJ, Andrew admitting bringing charges will be hard as there were no other witnesses. As such, JJ's fear of the villain persists.
