The Truth Of Neighbours

Since Neighbours will be returning to our airwaves soon (14 January) I thought that I should reveal some little known truths behind Neighbours. Or more specifically, Karl's supposed affairs.

None of these actually happened.

Well, ok, one did. But it wasn't really an affair.

Karl's affairs and the women involved were just a figment of Susan's imagination during her schizophrenic episodes. Everyone on Ramsay St just ignored them, trusting that Karl would see to it that she got the appropriate treatment since, you know, he's a doctor.

But eventually Susan's schizophrenia got too much for the family to handle and she had to be admitted into a psychiatric ward indefinitely.

This didn't win Karl any brownie points with some of Susan's friends. Especially when he started seeing Izzy after a couple of years. That is why Izzy is the only one of his supposed affairs that Karl occasionally visits. He and Izzy had a kid together and he was happy with her. He only broke up with Izzy out of loyalty to Susan when she was released from the psychiatric ward.

So when Susan starts losing it over Sarah's return and gives Karl a hard time, remember that Sarah isn't real. She's just a part of Susan's schizophrenia.








*this isn't a truth so much as a theory*
