Goodbye Jelly Belly

As Neighbours sinks deeper and deeper into an abyss of poor acting, bad scripting, and poorly executed storylines it isnot suprising to see one of its legends take his final bow. Harold Bishop left tonight, happily driving off into the distance in his camper van, and ended his 20year run on the show. From a floundering and flustered accountant he has become one with the Austrailian soap and will be sadly missed. Who will now fill the void of his legendary duo's, first with Madge and later with Lou? Perhaps Toadie who was passed a photo album in Harolds last episode, allowing us viewers to recollect his history.

With the news that Tom Oliver (Lou Carpenter) is to reduce his hours in much the same way that Ian Smith did, it is feared that the remaining part of the double act may soon be about to desert the sinking ship to. With firm favourites, the Kennedy's, remaining let us hope that Neighbours can rekindle some of its lost vigour and not allow Harold's departure to be its final bow before it disappears below the waters.
