neighbours - Karl and Susan's 20th anniversary

I'm always watching Neighbours episodes about a month behind everybody else, so I only just watched Karl and Susan's 20th anniversary episode. It seems crazy to me that they have been in the show for 20 years, as it seems like only yesterday that I was watching them as newcomers to the street when I was just 13 years old. All of the old clips they showed made me really nostalgic for my teenage years of watching the show. When the Kennedy family first came into Neighbours I wasn't sure that I really liked them, but I think that was because they were replacing the Willis family who had been a kind of trademark family of the 90's era of Neighbours,and also I didn't fancy Mal or Billy, but when people ask me about my favourite characters today Karl and Susan are always top of my list. I love how Karl and Susan have evolved over the years, when they were first in the show Karl was more of an uptight Dad figure but he has become this kind of comic genius character over the years, and I particularly like Susan's development from doctors wife and mum to a journalist/ teacher/ business woman. I know that there will come a time when we have to recall Karl and Susan in the same way that we do Scott and Charlene, but I hope they have a few years ahead of them yet on Ramsay Street.
