Paige Novak (Olympia Valance)

I feel she never thinks of her half siblings from Brad's side and is perhaps more close to Lauren's kids i.e. Amber even though I felt she was borderline bullying Amber who was uncomfortable to let Brad stay

Paige is more childish and immature than Neil

Yeah I think she likes to think shes being a good sister but clearly she's not - to any of them.... who is Neil?? Nell do you mean?

Yes I was meaning Nell, Toadie and Sonya's daughter

ah thought so, yes I agree

I really don't believe Paige when she says she wishes her parents could be together without any drama and without causing any hurt. The amount of time she spent manipulating the situations, pushing Terese out of the picture (folding also ;) ) and making Terese paranoid. 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

Maybe, maybe not - Im not sure shes intentionally trying to hurt them - she made a comment tonight to Mark something about she wishes what made her happy didn't upset them ( I don't think Im wording it right) anyway it seemed she was remorseful for their pain.....

She doesn't intentionally hurt them. She's not that bad really.

Yes I agree. When she first came to Erinsborough I did like her, and the things she did such as trashing Harold's and swiping Kathy's heart meds were examples of a troubled child lashing out. She did seem to settle down when everything came out and it seemed like she saw the Turners as her happy family unit, she was much closer to them than to the Willises, probably because Matt made her feel a lot more a part of the family than Terese did. 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.

I agree I don't feel sorry for her at all because of Lauren and Brads break up!!!!! I also agree regarding Matt making her feel more welcome then Terese, which was probably the foundation for her nastiness towards her, although it doesn't excuse her behaviour...... I don't think Paige wants to be horrible I just think she can't help it LOL,,,, just my thoughts.....

she did seem remorseful - she just goes about things the wrong way....
