Neighbours death sparks a sad split for two young characters – And fear the murderer’s fear
Neighboursspoilers follow.
The death of Amanda Harris will have lasting consequences on Neighbours, with Sadie Rodwell and Byron Stone soon breaking up in the fallout.
Amanda, who returned to Erinsborough last month after nearly four decades away, recently passed away after being caught in a trap of scheming doctor Darcy Tyler, with her body being found at the bottom of an embankment.
With the community left devastated, next week’s scenes see the Harris family prepare for Amanda’s funeral, with a guilt-stricken Jane debating whether to attend following her strained relationship with her mother.
After eventually being convinced by Sadie, Jane gives an impassioned speech at the ceremony as she reflected on both her anger and sadness, with the eulogy acting as a sort of catharsis for the figure.
Tension soon resurface, however, as the reading of the will unearths many surprises. Instead of distributing money to her family, it is revealed that Amanda had wished for her estate to be liquidated and held in a scholarship trust for fashion students.
A further twist sees Sadie, the girlfriend of Amanda’s grandson Byron, be given full control over the trust, with the revelation shocking the room. Sadie seeks advice from Darcy, who urges to maintain control as he secretly attempts to hide his own theft of Amanda’s money.
Sadie informs Byron, Nicolette and Jane that she intends to carry out Amanda’s wish, with Jane accepting her choice. Nicolette and Byron, however, are enraged, with Sadie questioning her future with the latter as they have an argument.
Andrew later comforts Sadie following the confrontation, with Sadie admitting that her connection to Byron is rapidly dwindling. Her mood is worsened as she discovers that Byron and Nicolette have decided to contest the will, leading her to break up from her boyfriend…
“Byron and Sadie have been through a lot together – including the recent fire drama where Byron saved his sister over his girlfriend,” said an insider for the soap.
“But it’s Amanda’s will that proves to be the final straw, creating a rift that they don’t seem able to come back from. If only Amanda’s family knew that it was Darcy they should be most angry with…”
