 The storyline received attention from the Australian Family Association , with spokesman John Morrissey saying that he was concerned about TV " normalising " same @-@ sex relationships . Psychologist Dr Janet Hall praised the storyline , saying it allows families to discuss the topic . Bower defended the kiss , which was shot before the Home and Away controversy , saying " Ours is a lovely tale about friendship . It 's very innocent . " She added " If we were going to do a lesbian story – and Neighbours is not against lesbian stories – we would do it properly . This is a teenage romance story . There 's nothing sexual " . In June 2009 , Bower was asked if there were any plans to explore Donna 's bisexuality , to which she replied that there was not . She said " We 're getting an enormous amount of leverage with Donna being the person she is and there 's just so much storyline with her and romance with Ringo that I 'm not saying it 's out of the question , but it 's not in any planning stages now " .
