WHY TODAY'S NEIGHBOURS EPISODE WAS FANTASTIC

-
Hello.

*Spoiler blog for anyone in Australia as this episode hasn't aired for you yet due to the UK Pace of the show*

Over the past few months have started to tune in to Neighbours once again (and I have always watched on and off because anyone asks!) but today's episode (20th May) with Mackenzie Hargreaves and Hendrix Grayson deserving a special blog post.

From the very first scene, I had high hopes and as the episode started - I saw that I was right too especially with the location change from Ramsay Street to Sydney as Hendrix made the trip to tell his family the sad news. The camera shots and angels were beautifully captured throughout making it one of the best episodes, I have ever seen!

I loved how the writers took us down Hendrix's past allowing for a little more understanding of the character and meeting his family was lovely. The scene with Hendrix and his mother led to some heartfelt moments between him and Mackenzie, Mackenzie's wise words were the ones that hit me the hardest.

As Hendrix and Mackenzie head back inside they were greeted by his sister, father, and mother which saw him open up and reveal the truth following their discovery. Hendrix breaking down was emotional along with the way that we got to see different perspectives of how his family took the news were delivered in a way that saw the families different emotions highlighted - I am crying writing this!

One of the sweetest moments of the episode came as Henderix propose to Mackenzie in an incredibly sweet scene on the beach at the end of the episode. It was Hendrix's words to Mackenzie during this moment that saw me get extremely emotional.

The mixture of happiness, laughter, and emotion were brilliantly written, and thought through allowing us audiences members in.

The amount of research and attention to detail on this sensitive storyline following Hendrix's recent diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis following the recent fire that was caused in the school.

There is something so special about the way that Georgie Stone and Ben Turland work and this was highlighted beautifully throughout the episode.

I have to give a massive applause for the writer of today's episode, Jason Herbison.

This episode of Neighbours aired today (Friday 20th May at 1.45pm) on Channel 5. You can watch the episode now on My5 if you live in the UK.
As mentioned above the episode has not aired in Australia at the time of writing.

CORONATION STREET REVIEW LAUREN BOLTON & MAX TURNER'S FLASHBACK EPISODE ALONGSIDE PADDY BEVER QUOTES

During tonight's episode (13th November) of Coronation Street viewers were treated to a series of flashbacks this time in the frame are Lauren Bolton and Max Turner who only recently got back together are the ones I have been most excited to see having said to friends for weeks they definitely have to be involved somehow if they were suspects thinking back to everything she's been through.  However, Monday's episode (11th November) Lauren's body language dramatically change in my opinion, and Max's side eye following Ed Bailey buying him a drink, but it was Sabrina Adetiba's sudden reappearance that left me with even more questions. The opening sequence was brilliant with the level of added dialogue as they recapped at the suspects, but Carla Connor's look towards Lauren Bolton during the flashback which entered to real time was interestingly delivered camera angles. With Lauren's son Frankie set to be discharged viewers saw young mum Lauren became incre...
