Neighbours Spoilers 4th - 8th April 2016

Looking at things, I think it's obvious that one of the Quill's is behind it and they are framing Paul.

With the development not happening, Lassiters isn't financially viable so they probably caused the explosion for the insurance money and easy to pin it on Paul. Hopefully that's not the case as it's obvious, but I think obvious in this case will ring true.

I think it could be Tom Quill, out for revenge. Seems a cruel plot for insurance, especially when the hotel is packed for an event.

I'd be so annoyed if it was him, plainly because that's the most obvious choice and if they are going to have a whodunnit storyline running for months, I'd find it really quite boring that they'd go for the most obvious choice in the end.

They are setting up a whodunnit for a few months? That explains why they had Chas in the boiler room. They have set up him as one of the suspects, Tyler, Paul, the woman that Paul sets out to wreck the function etc.

I think it will be made to look like it's Tom but I think it will be his little brat brother.

Wasn't that just an April fools?

Yeah, I'll try and find the article, but I remember reading that they confirmed and had already planned (or filmed) the months after the explosion and there will be a lot of red herrings and it'll be a few months before we find out who actually did it.

I've had a look at next week's TV listings (UK), and Tuesday's episode of Neighbours is half an hour as usual. Perhaps Australia are getting the hour long episode on Tuesday that we're seeing Monday night?

I know the article about Neighbours coming to an end was an April Fool's joke, but the subject does rear its ugly head from time to time.

The UK's Channel 5 basically keeps Neighbours afloat, and with the contract between Channel 5 and Neighbours up for renewal soon, there are some fans who are seriously nervous about the soap's future. Channel 5 pay an awful lot of money for Neighbours (I think I remember reading £30 million a year) and are likely to be looking for savings. However, the show is consistently one of their best ratings draws so they're not going to want to lose it.

Also, I know Neighbours is little watched in Australia, but (from what I've read on other sites) Australian channels (including the digital ones) have a quota of homegrown TV programming they have to produce. Given that, the money from Channel 5, and how well Neighbours sells overseas, it seems unlikely that it's going to finish any time soon.

Plus, the Neighbours team went ahead and spent millions recently on building the outdoor sets - which I don't think would have happened if they were worried about its future.
