There’s no denying that Bella Cooper’s kooky outlook on life was part of what made Dr Boyd Rolleston originally fall in love with her. As their relationship has grown, Boyd’s desire to seek rational reasons for occurrences that Bella believes happen magically has sharply divided them. At first, Boyd laughed off Bella’s supernatural beliefs but he is irritated when Bella obsesses that Boyd’s dead patient Maddie is reaching out to him from beyond. Suffering from “tension” headaches, Boyd snaps at what he sees as his girlfriend’s otherworldly babble and openly questions the strength of their relationship. Unaware that he’s hurt Bella deeply, Boyd has nightmares and develops a mystery rash, which he wants to think is dermatitis. However, Bella is confident that Maddie is haunting his body. Bella may be…

Everyone’s focus is on the plain black dresses ... and the showroom becomes strangely quiet. Not surprisingly, Ridge and Steffy are furious that Eric entrusted Quinn to stage the upcoming Forrester fashion show. Knowing that the new Mrs Forrester is hoping to pull off a huge success, Ridge isn’t about to allow his stepmum to shine in the spotlight. Although this show is very crucial to the company’s bottom line, Ridge is determined to undermine Quinn so she’s publicly embarrassed. Clueless to Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) plotting, Quinn (Rena Sofer) appoints Wyatt (Darin Brooks) and Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) to her planning committee. Quinn lavishes them with praise and voices her certainty that they will stage a truly unforgettable event. Quinn then summons Ridge to Eric’s (John McCook) office so they can…

Two years ago, a deeply troubled Chloe departed Genoa City for a Californian psychiatric facility but when she went she took a secret with her. She’d stolen her ex-husband Billy’s sperm sample with the intention of being impregnated with a replacement child for their deceased daughter Delia.

After holding Victor (Eric Braeden) over a barrel for possession of the forged diary pages that prove Adam (Justin people who’ve taken Adam away from his baby boy Connor and put him in prison, a guilty Chloe hastily flees, reminded that she’s also robbed Billy (Jason Thompson) of his child too. At the Chancellor Mansion, Chloe claims that she has forgone her…

Abby Earl, A Place to Call Home I’m off to Queenstown for a holiday! It’s my first time travelling to New Zealand so I absolutely cannot wait! Tim Kano, Neighbours For Christmas I’m hoping to head back to New Zealand to catch up with my family and mates, then head to NYC for New Year’s Eve to see my sister and brother-in-law.

“The first toy I got was Darth Vader. I used to go to school every day with my Darth Vader, and sit him next to me for class.” He might not be a household name yet, but starring in a Star Wars franchise will certainly change that — overnight! Mexico City-born Diego Luna is the first to admit that the Force has always been with him and that he was born to travel galaxies far, far away. “When I was a kid, I was drawn by the dark side,” he admits, laughing, as we talk in LA. “Darth Vader was my favourite character. And the first toy I got was Darth Vader. It was a different time back then. You had to go to the toy store and sign up,…

Brooke smiles at Ridge’s confidence but points out that she’s still wearing Bill’s engagement ring. Katie learns that Bill and Brooke’s wedding never happened, so she visits her sister to find out why. Brooke explains how Ridge tried to stop the nuptials by declaring his love, so a frustrated Bill cancelled the whole ceremony. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) adds that the timing wasn’t right after all since RJ (Anthony Turpel) was still opposed to his mum’s choice for a husband. Brooke sighs that her son would accept no other man than Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) as her life partner. Katie (Heather Tom) flippantly notes that Brooke must be revelling in the position she’s found herself in repeatedly through the years — and that’s being pursued by two men. Brooke clarifies that…

At this time of the year when we cast an eye over all that was good and bad in the TV year that was, we decided to pay special attention to Home and Away, as it continues its reign as the most popular serial drama on Aussie TV. But this year, we sought out some other experts on the year in Summer Bay. As well as the TV SOAP team, we asked the gang at the Home and Away online authority, Back to the Bay, for their observations. We agreed on the view that some 2016 H&A storylines were landmark and set new standards for the show. We also scratched our heads as we examined some other plots. Join us now as we step back in time in Summer Bay…

It’s been a big year for Takaya Honda who in 2016 has starred in Neighbours, Play School and The Family Law. And this summer he’s set to be just as busy as he’ll be helping his girlfriend Amy move to Melbourne from Sydney. “I’m really looking forward to it,” the 29-year-old says. “We’ve managed to see each other about every two or three weeks since I’ve moved to Melbourne … so it’s gonna be good when she’s there to have that support around me and just help me to discover Melbourne. And we’re gonna get a little dog I think, we’re both kind of pushing for that, so that will be a nice little addition as well.” On Neighbours, Honda plays David, the quieter, more reserved of the Tanaka twins,…

Rubbishing Ridge’s supposed disloyalty to him, Eric calls Wyatt his son from now on. Before his stroke, Eric was livid that Ridge had gone behind his back to appoint himself as his father’s power of attorney in the advent of Eric being unable to handle his own affairs. Despite Eric thinking that he’d thwarted the bid by secretly changing the documents to appoint Quinn his executor, Ridge has continued his plot to take over Forrester Creations. After a subsequent run-in with his son — in which Ridge ultimately failed to have his father revoke the original document and replace it with one benefitting him — Eric appointed Quinn acting CEO of FC in his absence. Confident that he’s made the best executive decision for the business, Eric focuses on his…

Kudos to B. Lowis for her letter regarding Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) in TV SOAP, November 28. I have been dying to complain about her character for ages, and B. Lowis has got it down pat … I think the pairing of Eric (John McCook) and Quinn (Rena Sofer) is priceless (even though she has done some really horrible things in the past). I am not excusing her, but at least her motives were always to make her son Wyatt (Darin Brooks) happy … I also respect that she has owned up and apologised for her mistakes and has now changed for the better, so please let them be.You never see Steffy admit or apologise for her own selfish past. J. Cost-Chretien, via email. WIN The author of the…

Huge changes are coming to The Young and the Restless , courtesy of new head writer Sally Sussman and her team. A self-confessed “non-fan” of the storylines that have permeated Genoa City in recent years, Sussman is promising to revive the storytelling style that existed when she wrote for the show between 1984 and ’89 under its co-creator Bill Bell. Intending to generate stories “from characters rather than plot”, Sussman says that her first episode (airing in the US this month and in Australia in June 2017) will begin with a traditional scene, “an Abbott family breakfast, a real scene. I want to get back the spirit of Y&R , which to me is topical, multi-levelled storytelling with extended scenes — none of this…
