Neighbours fans may need to brace themselves for a whirlwind of emotions, as actress Viva Bianca has just revealed heartbreaking news about her character, Chelsea Murphy. In an emotional interview, the star opened up about Chelsea’s dramatic exit from Ramsay Street — and it’s bound to leave a mark.
Speaking candidly in a behind-the-scenes chat, Viva shared that the storyline took a shocking turn even she didn’t expect. “It’s crazy,” she said. “I knew Chelsea had secrets, but I never imagined this would be how she goes out.”
Chelsea, who recently returned to Erinsborough with baby Thomas, had stirred the pot with her rekindled connection to Paul Robinson. Their chemistry reignited old feelings — and tension — especially with Terese, who’s still fighting to hold on to her relationship with Paul.
But it’s the truth about Thomas’s paternity that ultimately sets everything in motion. As fans know, Chelsea lied to Paul about Thomas being his biological son in hopes of securing a stable future for herself and her child. However, the web of deception grows too tangled — and soon, Paul begins to uncover inconsistencies in her story.
According to Viva, the fallout is emotionally intense. “She made terrible choices for what she thought were the right reasons,” she explained. “But there’s a point where lies catch up to you. And when they do… it breaks her.”
As the truth is finally exposed, Chelsea is forced to leave town — not with anger or scandal, but with a quiet, tearful goodbye. “It’s not explosive,” Bianca revealed. “It’s sad. It’s heartbreaking. She thought she had found a family. But in the end, she walks away — alone.”
Fans will see Chelsea’s final scenes air in upcoming episodes, and Viva promised they are filled with emotion. “She says goodbye in the most vulnerable, human way. I hope viewers feel for her — even after everything.”
While it remains uncertain whether Chelsea might return one day, Viva left the door open: “You never know. Chelsea’s story isn’t clean-cut. Maybe there’s more to come.”
For now, viewers will have to say goodbye to a complex character whose final moments promise to be some of Neighbours’ most unforgettable.
