RIP Ray Kolle - the driving force behind the special characters and storylines that made #Neighbours the international phenomenon it was between 1986 and 1992. He also saved the show in the mid 90s with a back to basics reset and the return of the iconic Madge and Harold. (1/2)
I was lucky enough to get to know Ray over the past 20 years through his contributions to The Perfect Blend and many long lunches whenever I visited Oz. I last saw him in 2025 and had a feeling that would be the last time. He is a #Neighbours icon and we owe him so much (2/2) 🧡
RIP Sheila Kennelly, a memorable and colourful part of the OG #HomeandAway cast as Floss. She and Neville brought a lot of humour and heart to the early years and it was great that she continued to occasionally visit the Bay right up to Sally’s departure in 2008. 🔮🚚 🌊
Watched #Eastenders out of morbid curiosity. What the hell was that sequence in The Vic with Cindy and… friends… dancing weirdly to the theme tune from Big Little Lies? I’m so sad to see this once incredible, iconic series in such a bad state.
RIP Tim Curry - so many amazing turns in Home Alone 2, Muppet Treasure Island, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the hugely enjoyable murder mystery romp Clue!
He also scared the absolute life out of me as Pennywise.
Loved Julie’s epic meltdown when Daphne helped out with Lucy’s school project! #Neighbours
Eileen Clarke has landed and is decrying “moral decadence!”
The #Neighbours we all know and love is starting to take shape…
There must be some incredible behind the scenes stories about Episode 19 of #Neighbours.
About two weeks worth of storylines are squeezed into 20 minutes - weeks pass between scenes, big plots are hurriedly tied up… I need to know more!
Well, I’ve stopped watching. So… 😬 #Eastenders
What are your honest thoughts on Ben Wadey's era of
#EastEnders currently and what would you change if you were given the chance to be EP?
#Neighbours is back on TV!
I mean, I’ve seen these first few episodes several times over thanks to the “How It All Began” VHS tape from the late 80s!
But still - it’s cool to think that the early adventures of the Ramsays, Robinsons and Clarkes are getting another airing! 🙌
RIP Terence Donovan. A big part of #Neighbours in the 1990s as Doug Willis - a relatable, real character who often struggled to make ends meet as he supported his family but was always up for a laugh and a home brew with his mates. The later dementia story was handled so well.
