Neighbours (Aus) Spoilers 2nd - 6th November 2015

[Summer8]

I agree. They're just not likeable, are they?

Characters don't need to be perfect for me to like them - in fact some of the best soap characters are downright bad sometimes (Naomi is a perfect example of this). Even the villains can be great to watch (I'm thinking of Paul when he's at his worst). I'm all for shades of grey.

In my opinion, Lauren and Brad could have been more sympathetic if written (and acted) better. I've sympathised before with soap characters who've had affairs (while at the same time condemning their behaviour), so it's not just the adultery that's the problem for me. Lauren and Brad don't have any chemistry at all (in my opinion) and appear to be almost completely self-centred and unsympathetic to the suffering they're causing. Plus I don't find them entertaining to watch (in contrast to Terese, who's not perfect but who has bags of personality).

They just don't have any redeeming features that make them likeable in my eyes.

Oh well guys, I guess you'l just have to stay suprised..... I might not like the way it happened with them, but I do think they are a better couple..... Therese might not have pushed them together but she surely did a good job of pushing Brad away....
