Neighbours are lining up yet another huge return next week, in the wake of Amanda Harris’ (Briony Behets) comeback after 38 years.
In upcoming scenes we’ll continue to see her reluctance to reunite with daughter Jane (Annie Jones), although it doesn’t take long for them bump into one another.
A horrific argument breaks out, and the two seem to be further apart than ever before.
If that’s not bad enough, tensions are rising next door as Wendy and Andrew Rodwell (Candice Leask and Lloyd Will) bicker over her new job offer in Murrayville.
She wants to leave Ramsay Street, and he wants to stay. What will they decide?
Oh – and the arguments don’t stop there. Cara and Remi Varga-Murphy (Sara West and Naomi Rukavina) are struggling over Cara’s new career in the police.
Will they ever be able to recover from Remi’s betrayal and bitterness?
Plus, Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) starts a new side hustle, a woman flirts with Andrew, Agnes Adair (Anne Charleston) is feeling lonely at Eirini, and Nell Rebecchi (Ayisha Salem-Towner) gets a welcome visitor.
It’s all going on, Down Under! For all the hottest Neighbours goss, I’m your man. Here’s a look at next week’s spoilers…
Monday, April 28
Wendy is overjoyed to get a relief teaching position at Erinsborough High, and it seems to go swimmingly. Unbeknownst to her, Dex (Marley Williams) is keeping the wayward students at bay.
When trouble begins to escalate, she steps up and manages to resolve the situation. However, her new hope is brought crashing down when Jane reveals that a permanent position isn’t available after all.
As she begins to contemplate another career path, the perfect job opportunity lands on her doorstep. It come’s with a hitch – it would mean relocating to Murrayville.
Elsewhere, Holly (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall), Taye and Max (Ben Jackson) try to make amends with Sadie (Emerald Chan), who is retreating away and can’t stomach looking at her burn scars again.
Byron (Xavier Molyneux) is at a loss over what to do, until Holly comes up with a perfect plan. The group decide to share their own insecurities with Sadie, and she’s warmed by their honesty.
Taye has something else on his mind, however. Fallon (Kate Connick) has demanded her 10k back, and he needs the cash quick.
Across the road, Cara and Remi are at loggerheads after Remi took it upon herself to write about her wife’s hysterectomy on her medical declaration form.
Dex implores his mums to resolve their differences, but it seems like it could be a while before they see eye to eye over the matter.
Down at Lassiters, Andrew bumps into self-defence class member Sandra, who praises him for his work. Little does he realise, she’s secretly flirting with him – with Max and Holly picking up on it.
They decide to reveal the truth to their clueless teacher, with Andrew having to let embarrassed Sandra know that he’s a married man.
Tuesday, April 29
The share house enjoy a drink, with a glamorous woman, Lydia, catching Taye’s eye. Byron introduces her as one of his former escorting clients.
Lydia offers to hire him again, but he explains that he’s no longer in the business. Taye’s interest is piqued when he hears how much she’s willing to pay, and hands over his number.
After work, he heads off to her AirBnb. Clearly out of his comfort zone, he begins to strip…
Elsewhere, Wendy celebrates her job offer, but Andrew has some reservations. He tells her that it isn’t realistic for the family to up sticks and move away.
Later, Wendy remains defiant that she isn’t going to change her mind and wants to accept it. The couple are fractured once again.
At Eirini Rising, Darcy (Mark Raffety) meets with Karl (Alan Fletcher), Susan (Jackie Woodburne) and Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and hopes they can look past his recent behaviour. They agree that he can stay, and he’s relieved – although clearly still upset about his break up with Chelsea (Viva Bianca).
Susan makes another attempt to get Amanda to tell daughter Jane of her new location, but she keeps the same stance. She doesn’t want her family to know, until they actually care to ask where she is living.
Later, Jane and Nicolette (Hannah Monson) enjoy a drink in The Waterhole, with Susan unsubtly dropping hints that they should reach out.
Jane asserts that she’s always the one to call, and this time it’s Amanda’s turn.
With Erinsborough being a very small place, it isn’t long before they bump into one another at an Eirini event.
How will the pair react?
Wednesday, April 30
Jane is baffled by her mother’s return to Melbourne and struggles to understand why Amanda didn’t tell her of such a huge life decision.
Old wounds are re-opened, and it seems that they may never be on good terms.
Another Eirini resident facing issues is Agnes, who is feeling lonely after Moira cancelled their plans.
The newcomer admits to Susan that she isn’t interested in the retirement village’s activities, facilities or residents, and that the icing on the cake was when a publisher has rejected her manuscript.
Feeling like she’s reached the end of the road with her book, she contemplates what is next in life…
Elsewhere, Taye is chuffed with the wad of cash that Lydia hands him, but feels under pressure to keep his private and professional lives separate when she turns up at the Piano Bar.
Thursday, May 1
Following Jane’s explosive row with Amanda, she extends an olive branch – but it’s too late. Amanda is just too hurt to speak to her.
Nicolette suggests a family dinner, but it soon becomes clear that it is going to be a struggle to win her back over.
On Ramsay Street, Cara excitedly tells a less than enthusiastic Remi that she has been accepted into the police academy.
Remi musters up the courage to offer her congratulations, but later confides in Taye the real reason that she is finding it so hard.
Following the revelation that his daughter is a killer, Toadie (Ryan Moloney) comes back to support Nell.
She’s relieved to have him back, but isn’t so pleased with his suggestion of heading back to school for some normality.
Still fragile, Nell is hesitant, but tries to please her dad. It becomes apparent that she’s made a huge mistake when the return doesn’t go smoothly.
Will she ever be able to move on?
