NED PARKER

What a shit of a character. What a shit of a man. But, oh, what a man.
I'm still reeling from Toadie being shot in the Neighbours 2006 season finale, and I'm left to wonder, why try and kill Toadie when Ned is trudging around Lassiters with no storylines for him in sight. He aimlessly wanders around the grounds talking to characters that also have not much of a storyline. But what is so pathetic about Ned is that he hasn't had a storyline for most of this YEAR.

In one of the last eps of the year, the writers so subtlely placed in a cue to get him half naked by forcing him to wear an elf outfit designed for a midget. The tights fit, but he was practically shirtless.
Male nudity, I can handle. I have absolutely no problem with it, but Ned Parker nudity of any kind is a different story. His body makes me get a sick feeling, and the fact he so half assedly resists getting his clothes off amplifies this.

O'Connor has made his acting debut in the Australian television soap opera, Neighbours. He plays the role of Ned Parker. In one particular scene, he was pictured half-naked with a towel around his waist. "I actually thought I had to be completely naked," he explained when he was told he had to drop the towel. "Ever since that scene, I've had a lot of people who want me to take my shirt off!" Now there is much talk about O'Connor's new status as a sex symbol.

Dan O'Conner's Wiki Page.


I have a couple of things to add to that. First, whoever wrote this Wiki article obviously has an affinity with Dan O'Connor. 'Now there is much talk...?' I fucking hate you.
Secondly, if Ned was such a sexy character, then pray tell, why did the writer's evict him from the new 'Sexy Twenty-Somethings' house? Because Ned is a fugly putz with bad clothes and equally bad hair.
