The arrival of Scott and Charlene's son Daniel in Late April was definetely one of the most anticipated arrivals of the year.We had heard about Daniel the odd time from 1992 when he was born.Daniels Arrival caused a lot of controversy especially for Amber.It was definetely what Paul needed to move on from kate.He wasted no time and within 2 months he was having an affair with Amber.We know he will become a great character and he is a constant reminder of Scott and Charlene!
During Zeke's Return he revealed to Karl and Susan that he was engaged to Brit,Victoria.He also revealed that he had to marry her now so he could go back to LOndon because his VISA was expiring.So as requested Zeke got married that very same day outside Lassiters with only Karl and Susan attending.We dont know much about their relationship but we do know that they are meant to be.I hope they are very happy in London.
Doug Willis was a hugely popular character back in the early 90's.Being one of the first Willis' to arrive in Ramsay Street,he carried the whole family and every Willis' links back to him in some way.He returned in April 2014 to visit the family where we dicovered he was suffering from Alzheimers disease.Nevertheless,having Doug back on the street was a well needed blast from the past.Doug will be returning every now and again over the next year.
The only death of 2014 and one of the saddest deaths we've seen in years was the death of Kate.On her birthday,Mark had just Proposed to Kate when she was shot at the lake.She was then carried to the bench outside Charlies and didnt make it to the hospital.The paramedic's did everything they could for Kate but her heart had stopped for good.With most of Ramsay Street Watching as she died it was incredibly sad for so many but also it was what brought Kyle and Georgia back together.It was revealed in June that Kate's Killer was Victor Cleary,an old enemy of Paul's looking for revenge!
Zeke's Return in April 2014 brought back so much Neighbours nostalgia especially for me.As usual,Zekes Return was filled with lots of Emotions and we see him face even more challenges.First he had to witness Kate's Death.Kate was a very good friend of Zeke's so this was hard for him but we got to see that side of Zeke,the Zeke we love.Then we saw Zeke announce he was getting married and he got married in Erinsborough,the place where he found love time after time.After the Wedding he went back to London.
Sophie Ramsay's Return
Sophie returned at the same time as Zeke but she only stayed for a few episode's.She had come down from Sydney for Kate's birthday and was faced with the biggest sadness of her life when Kate died on that very same day.After the funeral,A devastated Sophie went to America to be with her brother,Harry.
In March 2014,Neighbours decided it was time to extend the Canning family by bringing in Naomi Canning-Sheila's daughter and Kyle's Aunt "Gnomes".She is an extremely controversial addition to Ramsay Street.She has been estranged from Sheila for 5 years and wanted to make it right.It took a long time but she gained Sheila's trust and then lost it again a few months later.She has brought nothing but Drama to the show since her arrival 9 months ago and I know she has a lot more to give next year!
Rebecca was Pauls most recent ex-wife.Paul conducted a scheme to get her back to Erinsborough because he decided he wanted her back.She returned and found out it was all Pauls idea.At first,she wanted nothing too do with him,however,overtime Paul slowly started to win her back.They got closer and Rebecca considered moving back to Erinsborough permanently to be with Paul but decided to return to Sydney.This opened up a more vulnerable side to Paul which opened up old wounds and she was a refreshing blast from the recent Neighbours past.
In March 2014,while camping with Amber,Imogen and Mason Josh had a terrible accident.Mason was trying to impress Imogen by abseiling down a cliff.Josh wanted to teach Mason a lesson by proving he could do it to.While Josh was abseiling the harness broke and he fell and landed on the rocks.Josh had a broken collar bone and serious shoulder damage.The reason why this was so devastating was because Josh would never be able to swim again.The Willis' thought it was intentionally done by Mason but it was later proved to be a fault with the equipment suppliers.Thiswas the start of Masons exit storyline.
Okay so in February 2014 while Sonya was helping Jacob,they were closer and closer and her marraige was experiencing problems.Jacob is still grieving for his wife and the fear of loosing his son,he kisses Sonya.She immediately declines and tells him they cant do this.She waits a while before telling Toadie but when she does hes pretty angry.She still manages to talk him into representing Jacob int he custody case.This kiss opens up a huge year for Toadie and Sonya's marraige,and leads to plenty more Drama on that subject.
As you all know the 2013 Finale was when Gemma pushed Georgia and she collapsed.In the 2014 Return Kate and Kyle go looking for her and they find her.She regains conciousness and is surprisingly not furious at Gemma,who has run off.She now knows However that it was Gem who exposed Kyle and Kate at Kyle and Georgias engagement party.This allowed her to begin a very slow healing process and eventually forgive Kyle and Kate.This is the first big moment of the year and it helped shape a lot of this years drama's.
So today we saw the very last episode of Neighbours!It was a really good episode and a great way to end the 2014 Season.In yesterdays episode Amber had broken up with Daniel so he and Paul go visit Scott and Charlene in Brisbane.Sheila finds out that Gary assaulted Ezra.Sonya is worrie dabout Erin.Paige has 2 Christmases,one at The Turners and one at The Wilis's.Josh tells Amber he still loves her and when Sheila goes to turn Gary into the police,she suffers a massive heart attack and is left lying on the floor in No.26.That is how the Season ends!
There are so many questions we have to ask ourselves!We have so many reasons to tune into 2015 Neighbours!Will Sheila survive?Will Amber and Daniel reconcile?Will Gary get caught?Will Sonya help Erin? So you dont want to miss a second of Neighbours 2015.Neighbours 30th Year!!!
