People Are So Mad That Dee Bliss Wasn’t Resurrected On ‘Neighbours’ Last Night

"Can't believe Dee didn't show her face on #Neighbours tonight, sucked in after not watching it for 13 years."

If you’d have told me that the first television show I would be thinking about in 2017 was Neighbours, I probably wouldn’t believe you. But here we are! And quite frankly, I’m not sad about it.

Since September, the producers on Neighbours have been spreading whispers that Dee Bliss (Madeline West), a character who disappeared in 2003, would be returning to the show. Dee tragically ‘died’ on her wedding day, when her new husband Toadie drove them off a cliff. But her body was never found, because it’s always good to have the option of a reappearance a decade later to get some of those juicy nostalgia ratings.

I haven’t watched Neighbours in about 13 years, but I will never forget that episode. Mainly because I still think Toadie murdered Dee, good day to you all.

Over the Christmas holidays, Neighbours has been teasing Dee’s return and the crisis this would pose for Toadie (dude didn’t even try to find her, I mean COME ON). Toadie’s brother found a picture of a girl who looked like Dee and now Toadie can’t get it out of his head. He keeps having visions of Dee that look like early ’90s music videos. It’s bloody keeping him up at night, poor Toadfish!!

“Fark is my bloody missus alive or wat.”

Last night was the season premiere of Neighbours and even people who had long abandoned the series were enthralled. Where has Dee been all these years? How would she disrupt Toadie’s perfect (??) life? However, Dee did not appear after all (how do I know? BECAUSE I WATCHED IT FOR THE CULTURE). Instead Toadie found out that his wife (or IS SHE?) is pregnant and decided it might be time to hire a private investigator to find that bloody wife he misplaced 13 years ago.

People’s excitement was quickly replaced with fury.

Goddamn, Channel Ten. We’ll just have to amuse ourselves with the ‘Toady From The ’90s’ twitter account until Dee emerges.
