Tensions are escalating in Neighbours this week as Susan finds herself unknowingly walking into danger — all because she refuses to heed a critical warning from Paul Robinson.
Following Karl’s shocking collapse and subsequent coma, suspicions continue to swirl around Darcy, who has been acting increasingly erratic. Paul, who has long held reservations about Darcy’s presence, grows even more concerned when he recalls Karl’s recent unease about his cousin. With Karl unable to speak for himself, Paul takes it upon himself to alert Susan.
In a heartfelt but urgent conversation, Paul tells Susan that Karl had been deeply suspicious of Darcy’s motives in the days leading up to his health scare. He suggests that Darcy’s potential involvement in Karl’s current condition shouldn’t be ruled out — especially considering the strange circumstances surrounding Karl’s sudden collapse and the suspicious discovery of opioids in his belongings, which Darcy conveniently “found.”
However, Susan isn’t convinced. She dismisses Paul’s warning as overly dramatic and insists that Karl was simply being paranoid, likely influenced by stress or past grudges. She refuses to believe that Darcy — who has been helping her cope in the wake of Karl’s medical crisis — could be capable of such betrayal.
Paul, visibly frustrated but respectful of Susan’s decision, backs off for now. Still, he’s far from reassured. “Something’s not right,” Paul tells himself. “Karl didn’t trust him — and neither do I.”
Unbeknownst to Susan, her blind faith in Darcy could be putting her in serious danger. As she continues to allow Darcy closer into her life during this vulnerable period, viewers are left wondering: is she the next target in his sinister game?
With Karl still fighting for his life and the truth about Darcy’s involvement remaining buried, the stakes have never been higher. Will Susan realise the truth before it’s too late? Or has Darcy already manipulated the situation beyond repair?
One thing is certain: Paul isn’t letting this go. And if his instincts are correct, Neighbours is about to unveil one of its darkest twists yet.
