Previously on Neighbours: Nov 12 - 16, 2007.

What a week. What a week. Actually, for all the hype it was a pretty shit week on Ramsey Street.
The major event of the week was the return of a major past character to the regulars list. Libby plonks herself on the ol' Kennedy couch so swiftly and easily you'd be forgiven for thinking she never left. Trading her for Pepper and Adam was a welcomed move. Speaking of which, Adam had some awful cameo in an effort to explain why Pepper wasn't going to return. It was unnecessary, but I give the writers props for including it to maintain the small semblance of consistency in these character's lives. As well as all this, the opening intro has added some new characters, including Marco, Libby and Ben.

Without any more delay, here is the recap:

Monday: Susan is diagnosed with a condition that prompts mini-strokes at random intervals. Meanwhile, Bridget testifies in Susan's favour, relieving her jail sentence for hit-and-run. Libby and Ben return to be with Susan, while apparently sporting some hidden agenda? Zeke tries to act. Fails.
Tuesday: Mickey plugs Mario Party 8. Declan and Bridgit go to the movies and eat mints. Some freaks laugh at Bridget's cane and Declan threatens them with excessive collar grabbing. Steph gets the divorce papers from Max. Cool callback. Toadie has some stupid crisis and considers dropping his top-paying lawfirm and becoming a bricklayer...

Wednesday: Declan and Bridget are over before they began. Miranda never shuts up about casserole. She finally patches things up with Susan, after days and days of guilt casserole bribery. Janae acts well, but constantly seems out of place. Ned is the biggest fuck ever. Kirsten is back. Steph thinks that Fitzy is in love with her and goes all retarded like some stupid retarded bitch.
Thursday: Ringo and Rachel break up over Ringo's eating disorder. Ringo calls the waahmbulance. But when one couple ends, another begins. Elle and Riley camp by some barn in an effort to save some neglected horses. They kiss, but not before some evil farmer goes Wolf Creek on their asses. Damien Leith offered a pointless, awkward cameo for reasons currently unknown.Friday: Everyone is still in a state of shock from the pointless Damien Leith cameo. Oh wait, that's just me. Elle and Riley escape the clutches of the evil farmer. Rachel and Ringo get back together. That bitch whose name I don't remember gets all jealous and PO'd. So she sends Rachel a convicting photo. Elle and Riley act like thirteen year olds, and Elle is paid a visit by the evil farmer. He explains a sob story and pleads his innocence. The waahmbulance is called.

Next week promises to explain Libby's darkest secrets. But knowing Neighbours, you'll barely even realise that the secrets have been revealed, they are always so underplayed. Darren is set to return to the show very soon, so there is at least that to look forward to.
See you next week.
