Neighbours has lined up another change for the shared house, with one resident considering moving altogether.
In scenes set to air on January 8, Vera cheerfully announces that she is currently interviewing for a housemate in a bungalow at the back of another shared house, with the character reasoning that she wanted to live with somebody closer to her own age.
Despite her words, Sadie, Max and Byron all have a shared sense of guilt as they acknowledge that their hurtful words – in which they remarked that they didn’t consider her a close friend – on Christmas Eve has likely contributed to Vera’s decision.
Vera’s plan doesn’t work out, however, as she is informed that she hasn’t secured the house. Sadie attempts to lift her spirits by giving her a makeover, whilst Max and Byron make a batch of brownies in the hope of sealing the deal.
Once again, Vera is unsuccessful, with the sorrowful trio begging her to stay as they seek to make amends. She’s resolute in her desire to move, however, as she states her commitment to finding new people whilst acknowledging it may take longer than originally planned.
Whilst the drama in the shared house continues, there is also set to be some tension in the lives of Rhett Norman and Aaron Brennan, who had briefly explored a romantic connection despite Aaron’s struggle following the death of his husband, David Tanaka.
A recent trailer for 2025’s scenes showed that the pair could explore their bond, with Liam Maguire – who joined the soap as Rhett earlier this year – explaining how their relationship could progress.
“I think there is probably more that they need to know about each other, to figure out if that stuff is going to work,” he said. “I think they do have chemistry. There’s more facets to Rhett and I think he probably hasn’t experienced very much of Aaron either.”
