Joe? Joe who?

Ok... so you divorce your wife and have moved onto a farm with some relatives of yours...

You'd think you'd still want to visit your baby son once in a while....

You'd think you might want to know about your soon-to-be-born grandson.

You'd think you'd want to be there when your daughter is ON THE VERGE OF DEATH. At the very least you'd probably like to be told!!!

But no, Joe Scully remains blissfully unaware of everything and just stays up on his farm, having no contact with his family, as do the Scully offspring, with Jack, Flick and Michelle having seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet.

Have the Neighbours writers just forgotten them? Well possibly the children, but not Joe. Susan and Lyn mentioned him when they were chatting in today's episode... yet they way they mentioned him made it sound like he was dead! Do they just think we won't notice!?!?!?!
