I'm so over Imogen running around in her silly shorts and wedge heel sandals. I wish she would bore off. And all this nonsense with Daniel and her arguing / Imogen shouting her head off and overacting is more than a little tedious!

Kate's exit was terrible. no blood, no wound. the paramedics were useless.

The writers cleary didn't do their medical research. Were was the cannula, the fluids, drugs, adrenalin & the defibrilator. absolutely terribe.

Kate should have been give CPR in ambulance with a drip/fluids attached to her and the defibrilator used and then given emergency surgery in hospital. Georgia was as much use as a chocolate fire guard. She's a nurse, she didn't even start CPR herself. she didn't even check for a pulse properly. if someone is shot, you shouldn't move them as well, as it could cause more damage. Kate should have been kept were she was. Georgia being a nurse should know that. They should bring Kate back. A return storyline would be more believable than that pathetic & badly written episode. Also reading comments from some real paramedics on the Neighbours facebook page, the way they gave CPR was terrible and also paramedics CAN NOT prounnce someone dead. only a doctor can annonce someone dead.

Wost exit/death scene ever. Fans could write a better exit.

Neighbours spent all that time getting Scott back and then Ashleigh leaves. The point of bringing Mark back was so Kate&Mark got back together & got their happy endng.

Neighbours need to bring Kate back and turn her death into a dream while she's in a coma recovering from her injury and dreaming what life would be like in Ramsay Street if she died.

This would be Kate's alternate reality and she's dreaming about how her friends and family would deal with her dying. This storyline is possible, as it was done in Home & Away with Alf in 2002. They could get Peri Cummings back who played Jill Ramsay and Jill could show Kate what her like in Ramsay Street would be like if she died.

the scenes that happpened, kate dying, her funeral, the tribute, Mark & Paul arguing over Kate, Paul blaming Mark for what happened to kate and Mark trying to bring Kate killer to justice and all of Kate's friends being sad about her dying would all be part of her alternate reality while she in a coma. these scenes would be edited in around other storylines that are still happening. Would be a great storyline. Then Kate & Mark can have their happy ending and get married.

A storyilne like this would be a great and definitely bring in ratings if they promoted the storyline but without giving much away.

Neighbours ratings have took a HUGE drop since Kate left, if she come back and Kate&Mark got married, ratings would rise again. Fans were looking forward to a Kate&Mark wedding. This storyline would make a brillant return storyline for kate. Ashleigh has said she would LOVE a wedding episode.

I agree the medical side of her death was silly and ill-researched, although they did at least try to explain the lack of blood by saying there was no exit wound. You've got to remember that Neighbours is rated as suitable for kids, hence the lack of gore.

The point of bringing Mark back was so Kate&Mark got back together & got their happy endng.

Well no...the point was whatever the writers wanted it to be, which in this case was to up the drama by killing Kate off in Mark's arms.

Just because a storyline works in Home and Away, doesn't mean it'll work in another soap. H&A has a long history of messing with reality, eg supernatural storylines and the like.

I've seen no evidence that there's been a HUGE drop in Neighbours' ratings. Even if that's true, it doesn't mean it's because of Kate's killing, as she was more disliked than liked going by what I've read on the internet. I personally was largely indifferent to Kate.

I'm of the opinion that certain fans' obsession with Kate and Mark as a couple (to the point of continuously hounding the Neighbours team online) may have tipped the balance in favour of an unhappy ending for them just to spite said obsessives.

they should still have been blood. there was no blood, no wond and no hole in the dress were the bullet went through. pretty patetic exit.

It would work in Neighbours, both soaps copy each other all the time. The storyline did happen in 2002 in H&A. the dream/coma storyline would bring in new & old viewers and would show neighbours are capable of storylines other than death/drama. they need to push the boundaries and do storylines they have never done before. poeple want to see happy storylines not characters getting killed off all the time. Killing characters off is making them lose heaps of viewers.
