Neighbours announces sad news as legendary star leaves long-running soap early amid turmoil
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours schemer Fallon Morell makes a dramatic departure next week after throwing the Sebastian Metcalfe murder investigation into complete chaos.
Fallon says her goodbyes to Erinsborough after briefly becoming the prime suspect in the ongoing whodunit mystery.
Sebastian was found dead in the Lassiters Lake this week after making a string of enemies in the area.
The police have since confirmed that Sebastian was murdered and they’re currently treating Leo Tanaka as their prime suspect.
Next week, the story takes a twist as Dex Varga-Murphy flags up a potential breakthrough in the case.
While working on a school assignment, Dex finds video footage showing that Fallon fought with Sebastian on the night of his death.
The damning discovery leads to Fallon being interviewed by police for the second time.
Fallon desperately tries to defend herself, but she loses all hope when her sister Krista Sinclair also starts to openly doubt her.
As Fallon reaches breaking point, she confesses to the crime in a formal interview at the police station.
The news is a huge relief to Leo and his loved ones, but Fallon’s loyal friend Taye Obasi isn’t sure whether her confession is genuine.
Taye teams up with his sister-in-law Cara Varga-Murphy to prove Fallon’s innocence. They quickly find evidence showing that Fallon was inside the hotel when Sebastian died, meaning that she couldn’t have been the culprit.
In a final police interview, Fallon confirms that she made a false confession because she’d lost the will to fight for her future.
Reflecting on all the trouble she has caused, Fallon decides that it’s time to leave Erinsborough for good. Will her departure put Leo back in the frame for Sebastian’s death?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, April 2.
