Neighbours

Don't for a moment think that I watch this show. No way! The only time I have ever seen a complete episode of Neighbours was when I was in the children's ward of a hospital.

However, I have seen Kristian Schmid death scene from Neighbours, several times. Why? Because for some unknown reason, it is now considered almost a classic of Australian TV. It has been spoofed on the Australian comedy show, The Late Show, and appeared this year, on one of the 'Forty Years of Television' Specials.

The character of Todd Landers came from a broken home, and lived with his aunt(?) and younger sister. Eventually he got his girlfriend pregnant, and she decided to have an abortion. He ran to the clinic to stop her but was run down by a van. He lived just long enough to discover that she hadn't been able to go through with the termination, and then in true soap fashion, died. In even truer soap fashion, he apparently came back to her, as a vision.
