Crystal, you'll be surprised to hear, is right - Neighbours has become very, very strange since the start of the new season.

Top Five Things Which Have Happened Or Are Supposed To Be Going To Happen On All New Neighbours Which Would Never, Ever Have Happened On All Old Neighbours:

1. Stingray.
2. Sky goes pop Boyd and Sky make love - People never had sex in Ramsay Street. Yes, it was sometimes implied, but only very occassionally, in jest, and they were never supposed to have actually gone through with it. It was not the done thing. But here we saw Boyd dancing about in his boxer shorts, and Sky wandering around in a slip, which was very dehabilitating, not least because Boyd and Sky are in High School, and even when someone is in High School, in Ramsay Street they are still treated like a child (see: Serena, Hannah Martin of yore, and, to a lesser extent, Summer, who is supposed to be twelve).
3. Susan and Karl's divorce - Susan and Karl were supposed to be together forever.
4. Susan in her 'sexy' lingery - this is like seeing your Mum in 'sexy' lingery, only much, much worse, because it's not your Mum, it's Susan, who is even saintlier than your Mum, and is a teacher, and is was, at the time, married to a doctor. Teachers and doctors do not have sex drives, unless you are stalking them. This is a proven fact.
5. Izzy's baby/The mystery father - if it's Karl, I think I'm going to need therapy. Lots and lots of therapy.
