[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 436785, member: 19949"] I bought the first German Neighbours DVD box set with the first 20 episodes on sale a while ago and am finally watching it. I've already watched the first 10 episodes, and it's astonishing how much I've forgotten. I could only really remember that Des was dumped by Lorraine on their wedding day and the (somewhat bizarre) love story of Scott and Kim. What I haven't forgotten and probably never will: how Helen wiped Jim's face with the feather duster (in the opening credits). In episode 10, Shane and Danny had a car accident with the bank robbers who were on the run after robbing the bank where Julie and Des worked. Episode 10 also brought a surprising appearance for me with an actress that probably no one knows: Stephanie Daniel. In the episode, she played the doctor who treated Danny, but in 1975, the British actress starred in a West German series called Unsere Penny (Our Penny), in which she played Penny, an English au pair who moved in with a German host family. It was Stephanie Daniels' first TV role, then ten years later she suddenly appeared on Neighbours and took on a total of three roles: in 1986 she was Jim's love interest Ruth Wilson (not to be confused with the actress of the same name). I vaguely remember Ruth's run, but I'm not familiar with her run in 2002 as Chloe Lambert. Apparently, she was the new owner and manager of Lassiter's Hotel...
