Yes, it is almost the worst part of the story line, that Jim is proved 'right' when the kid dies. The father even comes to Jim on the day of the funeral to apologize and say how wrong he was and he should have listened to Jim.
Of course, as i say, if you see a kid doing something dangerous, of course you should raise it with their parents if you know how they are but not the way Jim went about it.

They may be at it again as SPOILER.
Kim Taylor is returning played by the same actress but she could be the mother of the Tanaka twins and Paul (typical) is the friggin father. Kim dated Scott in 1985 not Paul. And she was 15 in 1985 and Paul 21 so Paul could be seen as a rapist.

The Darius Perkins version of Scott was a friend to Kim, but he wasn`t the Father of her baby.
I remember those early episodes, and Scott was just helping Kim when she ran away because he cared about her. He was a good friend, nothing more.

Yes, they seem to be floating the possibility of either Paul or Scott being the father.
I'll be furious if they do this. It'll be even worse than the Julie not being Jims and Anne having a baby by Max bollux. At least then you could argue that we, the viewers, never met Anne so can't really say what she would or wouldn't have done and Max might have changed in the 20 years between that event and the show start.
But this. We saw it all on screen. Fair enough for younger or more recent viewers, it's just history for a character and plot they've never even heard of so it doesn't matter if they change things. But some of us were watching back then and we have good memories. Plus, in this particular case, the episodes are included in the dvds released a couple of years ago so easily checked.. in fact, I did rewatch them to confirm a few things on.Saturday after reading the spoiler.
Kim and Scott liked each other, they were falsely accused of having slept together but never did. Confirmed on screen several times. Pauls only involvement was to help Kim try to get away from Brad, the father of her unborn baby. He never touched her romantically or sexually.

If they do have the Paul is the daddy reveal then it will be like The Ramsay Retcon again and a blatant disregard for the shows history.

Well Paul is the father of the twins and did have a one night stand with Kim Taylor in early 1985 when she was 15. It does slightly contradict the 1985 events but they did show footage from the 1985 episodes. Paul did not know he was the father.
I think it is a way to connect the dots.

Paul was in his 20`s and worked at an airline at the time. He could be charged with statatory rape as Kim was only 15 at the time.
But jeez, time hasn`t been kind to Kim at all has it. She looks more like the twins grandmother than their mother.

I think Neighbours has always been guilty of this though, rewriting history. Watching 1986 episodes, it seems some minor storylines were quickly forgotten about and I noticed some errors in writing. In 1985 Phil and Julie met but in 1992 they came back with an 8 year old child.

It does slightly contradict the 1985 events but they did show footage from the 1985 episodes. Paul did not know he was the father. I think it is a way to connect the dots. Those scenes were taken out of context to make it seem like they were proof. That scene of Paul waking up at the hotel and Kim coming into the room the morning after they supposedly slept together? It was in Paul and Scott's bedroom and the person at the door was Scott. Them arguing, supposedly when they decided not to tell anybody they'd been together and that he wasn't the baby's father, actually him trying to persuade her to ho home, or at least ring her Mum, when he tracked her down to the Squat with the help of Daphnes priest friend, who is also in that scene. Him suggesting that she abort to her was actually Paul defending her right to abort to the Robinsons who are horrified at the idea after they've learnt she is considering it from.Scott. kim wasn't even in the scene. Paul wasn't actually at the Airline when this conception supposedly happened. That was about the one thing they got right in this mess. He was close to finishing University when the series started, so 21 or 22 depending on how long a course it was. Given he went to school with Shane who we're told is 22 early on, probably the same. Definitely too old for a 15 year old, especially one that looked closer to 22 than the Uni student Paul claimed he believed her to be. |
