Teapot



Look who's tidy!
Today Mr Kenneth got organised! The Kenneth Suite is tidier than it has been for some days, (washing put away, more washing done, mantlepiece cleared of clutter, bed changed etc) and Mr Kenneth now has a local GP again. Shame he didn't remember to cancel the TV license payments, but you can't have everything now can you?

Look who's back!
Pippa returned to Summer Bay today! Mr Kenneth just happened to be at home this afternoon owing to the aforementioned Doctor's appointment and some working from home activity. That combined with a housemate's prediliction for 'five' resulted in a trash tv treat. Mr K was alerted to the matronly one's return via lowculture and had forgotten all about it until in she walked, with Chris the baby all grown up! The Aussie soaps never let a storyline take on a realistic chronology for fear of losing track of where they are. Arm pain one day means heart attack death by the end of the following episode usually. If you add H&A's new five-style of 'before you know it' editing, those with attention deficit disorder are assisted even more. So within minutes of being re-introduced to the character, we are introduced to the fact that our Pip thinks her boy's a bum-bandit! Not only that, but he's a geek-gay, with all the worldliness of pingu after 6 years in solitary. (Why? that's not very sexy!)



Five minutes later and he's already fantasising about his room mates! Pippa wasn't the only returnee, but Sophie - Rebekekka Emalogologoloubiallidocious - with two children (by the end of the episode anyway) and the lanky straight-A student Steven. It's funny, after years of both Neighbs and Homes forgetting exited characters as if they never existed, both seem to be introducing if not our old favourites, then at least their relatives. Ceri's daughter Sky is back all grown up in Neibs and aparently Des & Daphne's Jamie is due to make an appearance soon. If they think that will make up for years of biennial Charlene and Scott references, then they've got another think coming!

Look who's a-cussin'!
Elsewhere in TV gem-land, the fab trails for Channel 4 get even better, with all your favourite C4 faces getting foul-mouthed here and not a Steve Penk in sight! Phew!
