Neighbours is lining up a huge week for Jane Harris (Annie Jones) in the wake of her mum Amanda’s (Briony Behets) death.
The family are stunned during the will reading, as they discover she has left her entire estate to one resident – and it’s not dastardly Dr Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety)!
He’s attempting to wriggle his way out of Karl Kennedy’s (Alan Fletcher) suspicions, but is in for his own big shock next week when former business associate Anthony Hallsworth shows up at Eirini Rising.
Tensions run high in the penthouse when Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) learns that partner Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) isn’t the biological father of son Thomas.
To make matters worse, the child’s mother Chelsea Murphy (Viva Bianca) flees Erinsborough and leaves him in Paul’s care. The Varga-Murphy family decide that they want a part in his upbringing, with Cara (Sara West) thinking she could adopt him.
Elsewhere on Ramsay Street, Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask) does some underhand digging into husband Andrew’s (Lloyd Will) family tree, and Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) lands himself in hot water during his escorting.
For all the hottest goss from Down Under, I’m your man! Here’s a look at next week’s Neighbours spoilers…
Monday, June 2
With the damning letter from Jeffrey in her hands, Terese is devastated to learn that Thomas isn’t Paul’s son. He floor has fallen from beneath his feet, and he’s lost yet another child.
However, there’s an element of relief that Jeffrey hasn’t revealed that Paul knew the secret for a week in advance.
Terese demands that more DNA tests are undertaken to ensure the truth, but Chelsea knows that it would just delay more heartbreak. The family gather around Paul, and as he holds Thomas for possibly the final time, he crumbles in devastation.
The revelation has also had huge effects for Chelsea – Cara has disowned her again, she’s broken Paul’s heart and has had a huge dressing down from Krista (Majella Davis).
Realising that she doesn’t have a future in Erinsborough, she dumps her baby in the Penthouse and leaves.
Elsewhere, Taye takes on a new escorting job for the night and is eager to rebuild his bank balance.
However, when he can’t get out of his Piano Bar shift, he tries to sneak off to his new client’s room at the hotel without Krista or his colleagues finding out.
Under pressure, he’s unable to perform and makes to escape, unaware that Krista has seen him flee from the room. Max (Ben Jackson) attempts to cover for him, spinning a story about having a tummy bug and needing to use a shower… which leaves Taye squirm even more.
To make matters worse, he didn’t make his money!
Tuesday, June 3
Terese is confused to arrive home and find Paul cradling Thomas. They discover a letter from Chelsea in his belongings and alert the Varga-Murphys, who assert that it’s best if he’s in their care.
Paul remains firm, and Cara grudgingly agrees to leave him there so not to disturb his sleep. The next day, he tells his family that he has no intentions of going against Chelsea’s wishes.
Leo (Tim Kano) warns his dad to be careful as he isn’t Thomas’ biological father, and therefore has no legal rights to him. Terese points out that they need to be smart and try and get Cara and Remi (Naomi Rukavina) back on side if they don’t want to lose access completely.
Paul reluctantly hands him over, hoping for a commitment to his future, but Cara is vague.
Elsewhere, the Harris’ gather for Amanda’s memorial, but Jane doesn’t feel able to attend. She’s still riddled with guilt over their fractured relationship prior to her mother’s death and feels like she doesn’t deserve to be there.
Sadie (Emerald Chan) manages to convince her otherwise, and her words get her thinking – not just about her own guilt, but also how self-centred Amanda could be too.
During the service, Jane makes an emotional speech and allows her anger to spill over into sadness. The family then head to Amanda’s will reading, and there’s a huge surprise in store!
The lawyer explains that her estate is to be liquidated, and everything should be held in a trust for a scholarship, that will help to support fashion and beauty students – to be administered by Sadie.
Plus, still suspicious of Darcy’s actions, Karl keeps working to prove that he’s up to something sinister. He makes out that he’s still taking the supplements that have provided him, to lull him into a false sense of security.
Karl also takes opportunity to question Darcy on his feelings towards Amanda’s death, sensing that something is ‘off’.
Wednesday, June 4
Sadie looks for advice from Darcy as Jane and her children grapple with the news that they’ve been left nothing in Amanda’s will. He convinces her that she should keep control of the trust herself, and she later relays his advice to the family.
While Jane accepts the decision, Byron and Nicolette (Hannah Monson) are in disbelief that their nanna would give away her money to strangers. An argument escalates, and despite Byron’s attempts at finding a compromise, Sadie stands her ground.
The cracks in their relationship start to grow…
Susan (Jackie Woodburne) feels uneasy by Karl’s pretence that he’s put everything to one side with Darcy. She seeks a distraction and speaks with Wendy, admitting that although things have settled down, there’s a lot of unresolved tension bubbling beneath the surface.
Returning home, she sees Karl maintaining his ruse with Holly (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall), who he later divulges his plan to. His intrigue grows when she explains about Amanda leaving Sadie her estate, and how Darcy hasn’t benefitted at all.
Karl then heads to drops over to No. 22 under the guise of giving Darcy some vegetables, and is surprised to find Sadie seeking more comfort over her situation.
He isn’t convinced that Darcy is being honest in his acceptance, but when he begins to air his questions about Amanda’s death to Susan and Jane, Susan shuts him down.
It’s clearly playing on his mind!
The next day, Karl researches Darcy’s former business partner, Dr Anthony Hallsworth, and plans to give him a call.
Next door, Wendy admits to Susan that she doesn’t feel secure in her marriage to Andrew following the catfishing saga. She’s tried her hardest to resolve things, but he needs time to forgive her.
Using the Ramsay-Robinson family tree, Wendy broaches the subject of exploring his own biological parents, though he’s reluctant. Undeterred, she does some digging of her own.
Thursday, June 5
Cara suggests the idea of adopting Thomas, which throws Remi. Emotions are stirring back at the penthouse, with Paul worrying about not seeing the child.
As Krista tries to get him to let go, they’re stunned by Chelsea’s arrival. She admits that she couldn’t be without Thomas, and they all head to No. 32.
Cara and Chelsea clash over her behaviour, and realises that she too is unable to part ways with her nephew. Remi counsels Chelsea to consider her sister and Paul’s feelings before putting such a drastic plan into action.
After realising she has nowhere to stay, Paul floats the idea of offering her a room at the hotel. Terese and Krista are adamant that it’s a bad move, but he ignores their advice and secretly arranges a suite.
There’s one condition – she doesn’t tell Terese that he knew Thomas wasn’t his son.
When Krista realises what’s happening, she calls a shocked Terese who decides to pack her bags and move back to Ramsay Street with Nell (Ayisha Salem-Towner).
Elsewhere, Sadie is comforted by Andrew following her fight with Byron, who intends to contest the will. Sadie remains adamant that their differences can’t be put to one side, and ends the relationship.
Darcy tries to keep Susan onside while they work, and the scales fall from his eyes when Dr Anthony Hallsworth strolls in. He explains that Karl called him about his health centre investment, and he wants a 50% stake in the business for his attempt at ruining his career.
Before leaving, he introduces himself to Susan. Darcy quickly covers saying that he’s a potential investor.
At home, Karl tells Holly that Anthony was once in business with Darcy in a failed venture, and while Darcy made things sound amicable, Tess told him otherwise.
Susan arrives and explains that she was introduced to Darcy’s new investor Dr Hallsworth, and Karl is lost for words.
He rushes to tell Paul everything, and is convinced to keep Darcy thinking they’re friends as he’ll slip up eventually.
On a hunt for Andrew’s birth parents, Wendy tells Jane that she’s found three potential families, including one of them who made a sizeable donation to the hospital where Andrew was born three days following his birth.
As she contemplates reaching out, Jane questions whether she should inform Andrew first.
Will Wendy take note of her advice?
