The previous tiles on my kitchen wall were removed by cutting out the entirety of the tiled area and replacing plasterboard (image displays one section of this).

To avoid the need for any skimming, I'd like to tile straight onto the plasterboard and add a row over and above the join. The plasterboard is pretty much flush to the wall. I'm keen to take on board any advice as to a) whether this is a sensible plan, and b) whether I ought to do anything specific by way of preparation. Someone has mentioned taping over the joins.

Five screws and you’ve painted the plasterboard. I suppose it might be alright as a DIY job but certainly no professional would leave a job like that.
Best bet would be some self adhesive Hardiebacker scrim troweled over with tile adhesive.
