All Neighbours spoilers for next week as legend resigns
Neighbours is lining up a huge week for Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), as he makes a momentous decision regarding his future.
He's had a tough time of late, spending much of last week in a coma with stroke-like symptoms after being poisoned by his dastardly nephew Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety).
Now, confronted with returning to normality, he surprises wife Susan (Jackie Woodburne) with a revelation.
Ramsay Street lives up to its name next week when two new members of the clan arrive. Max's (Ben Jackson) mum Yvette (Libby Tanner) and youngster Saskia (Mia Foran) jet in to visit him, but it's not long before the latter decides to make it her permanent home.
She immediately makes quite the impact on Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux), who is surprised to see her innocent façade drop when she tries to kiss him!
Elsewhere, Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) grows closer to his daughter's bestie Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) when she accompanies him on a trip to meet his biological family in Sandy Point.
It all goes swimmingly, but why are they so keen to conceal their late-night drinks from his wife Wendy (Candice Leask)?
Plus, Cara Varga-Murphy's (Sara West) in hot water at work when brother-in-law Taye Obasi's (Lakota Johnson) escorting is exposed, and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) suffers another setback in his love triangle.
For all the hottest goss from Down Under, I'm your man! Here's Metro's guide to next week's Neighbours action.
Holly accompanies Andrew on his trip to Sandy Point, in search of answers regarding his biological family.
Upon arriving at the marina, they encounter his dad Steven and sister Gretchen on his boat. Steven's moved to finally meet his long-lost son, with Gretchen explaining that she lied about his nature to Wendy because she was worried about her dad's health.
He's battling lung cancer – but luckily is responding well to treatment.
After a lovely day, Holly notices that Andrew's on a huge high and suggests that they stop off in the city for a celebratory drink, and they enjoy one another's company.
The next morning, Wendy is thrilled to be offered a job interview at Erinsborough High, but is brought back down to reality after learning about Holly accompanying him to meet his family.
She accuses him of being a hypocrite, and when Holly arrives, she's shocked by Andrew's decision not to tell his wife about their late-night drink.
Elsewhere, Karl's nearest and dearest gather around his hospital bed and he seems subdued.
Jane secures a meeting with Darcy in prison, and Susan thinks her husband should do the same. Karl insists that he never wants to see his nephew ever again.
In the prison, Darcy apologises to a livid Jane, and offers her some comfort by recalling an anecdote that proved Amanda never stopped caring for her.
The next day, Karl is discharged from hospital and decides to pluck up the courage to face his attempted killer. All he wants to know is why he was targeted.
Being honest, Darcy tells him that Karl is too old to be practising medicine.
He's left furious, and it really knocks his confidence. He heads home and tells Susan that he has no intentions of rushing back to Eirini Rising.
Two new Ramsays arrive on the street – Max's mum Yvette, and his younger sister Saskia.
He's shocked when Yvette suggests that Saskia move to Erinsborough long term, due to a bullying situation back home in Brisbane. Max wants to help his little sister, but isn't sure that his flatmates will be on board.
He can see how desperate they both are for it to happen, with Taye and Byron soon talked round. Jane even manages to secure a place at E High for her.
Taye has much bigger issues, though. Lydia wants to meet up and he has to bail on a poker game with Remi.
She and Cara soon confront him, and as he tries to rush away, drops a large wad of cash on the floor that he's just received in payment for his escorting services.

Cara is instantly suspicious, and even more so when she finds Lydia's police ID badge on the floor of is car. After demanding answers, she's shocked by what she hears!
Elsewhere, tensions are running high between Andrew and Wendy ahead of her interview at the school.
She vents to Jane, who suggests that she might want to look at the bigger picture. Andrew could've handled things better, but ultimately, he's found his father and things have worked out for the best – which is exactly what she wanted.
After taking in the advice, Wendy takes in her husband's apology and makes amends for her behaviour too.
But as they repair their relationship, the secret of Andrew's drinks with Holly looms large…
The Varga-Murphys can't believe that Taye has been operating as an escort, and especially that Lydia was his star client.
They're both supportive of him, and Cara decides to confront Lydia about the situation. She denies everything and threatens retaliatory action.
Undeterred, Cara tells the police academy, who arrange for her to be re-assigned a new mentor. Unfortunately, the person is an old friend of Lydia's and there could be a possible blowback.
Taye approaches Byron for help, but there may still be some trouble ahead…
Elsewhere, Saskia is nervous ahead of her first day at her new school, but her spirits are lifted by support from her new neighbours – including the suggestion of a barbecue be hosted to welcome her to the community.
Her new life gets off to a good start, she meets neighbours Dex – who instantly develops a crush – JJ, and Wendy, who is also a newbie to the corridors, and she thanks Max for all of his support.
He's hopeful that his shy, studious sister will come out of her shell.
What he doesn't realise is that she's not as naïve as she makes out, and she takes no time to ask Byron for help adjusting her bikini strap. She then propositions him and tries to plant a kiss!
Across the road, Andrew receives a box of photographs and mementoes from his biological family, and Holly helps him go through them.
She's moved seeing him so emotional, and soon loses track of the time – arriving late to Saskia's party.
Byron is stunned by Saskia's advances and assures her that it won't be going any further.
Everyone gathers for her bash, and she charms them with her sweet, innocent persona, which makes Byron feel deeply uncomfortable. He doesn't know how to read her, or whether to tell Max about what she did.
Dex asks her out on a date, but she fobs him off with an excuse about how she's too committed to her studios to be distracted by a boy. Byron overhears, and sees it as another inconsistency in her behaviour.
Ultimately, he decides to keep the attempted kiss a secret, knowing that the truth would hurt Max. Saskia is glad that he's saved her the embarrassment, and as they seem to reach a reset, she flirtatiously shows off her body and suggests that he's missing out.
Rhett comes along to the barbecue as Aaron's plus one, and there's clear chemistry between them both.
Just as things are starting to look up, Colton arrives and clears up Aaron's misconception about him not being interested. Cara isn't impressed to see him there and works double time to prove that Rhett is the right man for her mate.
The competition for Aaron's affections begin to mess with his head, as Rhett and Colton come to loggerheads during a game of volleyball.
He comes to the conclusion that he's going to have to make a choice, and decides to head home to think it over. Nicolette tracks him down and urges him to go back, as in his absence, the two men seem to be taking a liking to each other.

Susan is struggling to stay strong for him, and confides in Colton, who suggests that getting her husband back into his old habits might help.
She runs with the advice and takes Karl for a trip to Eirini, and although his mood improves, it seems that the visit has given him fresh inspiration for his future.
He's decided to resign.

90s pop icon admits they lost out on Glastonbury performance for sad reason
Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins has revealed that the group was asked to perform with the Bee Gees at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage but was unable to arrange the logistics in time Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins is one of the most memorable stars of the legendary 90's pop group who took the world by storm with a plethora of hits across the world. But now, it has come to light that there was one part of his pop career that he still holds a level of regret over - and that was missing out on performing at Glastonbury Festival. The group's song Tragedy attracted the attention of the organisers of Glastonbury which led to an invitation to perform at the sought after Pyramid stage. At the time, the hit song sold more than 1.2million copies in the UK. Speaking to Metro, the pop star explained: "The Bee Gees asked us to join them on stage. But it was a really late request, and we literally couldn't get it all together in time." He added: "Of course, some of them have passed away now, so that will never happen again. But that's another little jewel in the Steps crown." But with the group's musical Here and Now, which is set to tour around the UK ending up at London's West End, it seems the prospect of appearing on the bill of the iconic festival is clearly still on the group's mind. Ian continued: "We're the only ones, really, from that era that have all the original members and are still going, so it feels like we've earned our stripes by now." At the time of the height of his career, Ian explained that his sex life was the subject of interest among the media and felt unable to come out as gay. Recalling the moment he followed in the media footsteps of Stephen Gately and Will Young, who were revealed as gay, Ian said he received a phone call he had been desperate to avoid while on holiday. He told the publication: "They knew where I was, who I was with, and why I was there – I had a boyfriend." He added: "Immediately, I flew back from holiday, told my loved ones, told my family, told my parents, and then the next day, they didn't run the story, because I didn't give them quotes. But they threatened me for many years, and I felt like my coming out story was taken from me; my power was taken away, so it was a really emotional, dark time for me." But Ian was not alone. Boyzone star Stephen Gately and N'SYNC's Lance Bass was also struggling with press attention over their sexuality. Ian added: "If the press knew you were gay, it was a really tricky thing to be seen together or to even admit that you were friends with another closeted gay person." He then decided to forge firm friendships with his bandmates and other stars including Britany Spears. Ian continued: "All of her dancers were gay anyway. People thought I was dating Brittany a long time ago, but that obviously wasn't the case – that was strange."

'I wish more shows were like this': Your favourite underrated crime dramas
Police procedurals, legal dramas and Scandi noir. Whatever your poison, you've probably binged one or two TV crime shows in your time. Line of Duty, The Fall and Broadchurch are just a few of the most popular in the genre, keeping viewers gripped episode after episode with their complex conspiracies and sudden twists. But while they're certainly deserving of the praise, sometimes the most bingeable series are those that fly under the radar, despite glowing reviews. We asked Metro readers to share their favourite underrated crime dramas, and these are the lesser-known series they recommend adding to your watch list… One user, called Evan_Underscore, heaped praise on Mr Inbetween, an Australian TV series that follows a criminal for hire. 'The dialogues and the situations feel so realistic that everything feels theatrical compared to it,' they wrote. 'It's also great in mixing terrible and funny in a way that they only complement each other.' Another user, wobbsey, recommended Giri/Haji, a BBC production from 2019 that is available on Netflix. In their glowing assessment of the series, they wrote: 'Set in Japan and the UK. Family loyalty and conflict. Yakuza mobsters. Cops. It's suspenseful and moving. Gorgeous cinematography which is something I rarely even notice!' They added: 'The last episode is particularly stunning. Not enough people know this show, under appreciated gem.' Meanwhile, AltruisticCableCar is clearly a fan of Scandi noir, recommending three Swedish crime dramas. They suggested Wallander, both the original series and the British remake, though they added 'I prefer the remake'. They went on 'Also Glaskupan (The Glass Dome). Just recently watched this and whoa. Åremorden (The Åre Murders) is another one.' Other lesser-known crime series recommended by Metro readers included Damages, starring Glenn Close, 2019 BBC series The Capture and American police procedural Major Crimes. Looking for more TV recommendations? We also asked Metro readers about their favourite underrated TV thrillers, and these series came out top: House of Cards — No, not the Kevin Spacey series, but the original British version following a fictional Chief Whip of the Conservative Party. — No, not the Kevin Spacey series, but the original British version following a fictional Chief Whip of the Conservative Party.

The Worricker Trilogy — The three films star Bill Nighy as MI5 officer Johnny Worricker, whose life is turned upside down when his boss and best friend dies suddenly. Read all about these underrated TV thrillers. This dark comedy follows Ray Shoesmith (Scott Ryan), a father who's struggling to juggle his relationship, parental responsibilities, friendships and a sick brother — all while working as a criminal for hire. Inspired by the cult film The Magician, in which a hitman hires a student to document his life, Mr Inbetween has proved extremely popular with viewers, earning a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score and a near-perfect 98% audience score. Fans have called it 'criminally underrated', with many comparing it to smash hit series Breaking Bad. Where to watch: Seasons one to three are available to stream on Disney Plus. Giri/Haji's perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score speaks for itself. Cruelly axed by BBC and Netflix after just one series (despite being nominated for three Baftas), this series is a true hidden gem. It follows a Tokyo detective (Takehiro Hira) who is searching for his missing brother in London's underworld, after he became mixed up with the Yakuza, a Japanese organised crime syndicate, and accused of murder. If you're a fan of Netflix's Black Doves, which stormed up the streamer's most-watched chart in December last year, Giri/Haji is worth checking out, as both dramas were created by screenwriter Joe Barton. In a review, The New Yorker called the series 'violently stylish' and a 'sexy police thriller', while the Daily Telegraph called it 'bold, bewitching and slightly bonkers'. Where to watch: All eight episodes are available to stream on Netflix. The BBC's Wallander stars Kenneth Branagh as a Swedish detective who investigates a series of gruesome murders. The series, which first aired on BBC One in 2008 and is an adaptation of the mystery novels by Henning Mankell, has been hailed as 'wonderful' and 'terrific', with plenty of praise for Branagh as the lead. Viewer Anthony Pearce wrote in a Google review: 'Having watched this series for the second time I can only say it was as wonderful and fantastically acted as I had remembered. Kenneth Branagh is undoubtedly one of our finest actors'. And Anne Norton added: 'Wallander was terrific!!! My first Swedish crime show, and it didn't disappoint. Kenneth Branagh's acting is just outstanding'. Last month, Variety reported that Wallander is set to return to screens in a reboot, which will see detective Kurt Wallander, now 42, struggle to get his life under control, having separated from his wife and become estranged from his daughter. Where to watch: Series one to four are available for free on BBC iPlayer. A much more recent release, The Glass Dome (Glaskupan in Swedish) landed on Netflix in April this year. The six-part series follows a criminologist (Léonie Vincent) who returns to her small hometown and 'becomes wrapped up in the investigation of a missing girl and its haunting similarities to her own childhood abduction'. Perhaps less of a hidden gem than the others on this list, it quickly climbed the ranks on Netflix to peak at number two on the streamer's weekly round-up of most-watched shows. But, as non-English language shows can sometimes go overlooked by British viewers, The Glass Dome remains unfamiliar to some. Don't let the language barrier put you off, though, it's been praised as 'gripping' and 'tanatalising' by critics, while viewers have called it 'haunting' and 'brilliant'. Where to watch: Stream all six episodes on Netflix. Another hit from Sweden, The Åre Murders is based on a popular series of books by author Viveca Sten. The Nordic noir follows a detective who has been suspended from duty (Carla Sehn), seeking solace in the idyllic but eerie ski resort town of Åre. But she soon becomes wrapped up in investigating the mysterious disappearance of a young woman. Netflix subscribers clearly love a Scandi drama, as this series achieved a whopping 11,000,000 views in one week when it landed in February this year. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics praised the drama as well as its Scandinavian setting. Common Sense Media's review read: 'This is an edge-of-your-seat crime series that spans two separate murders in one small, snowy, Swedish town.' And Decider wrote: 'The Åre Murders features all the hallmarks of the Nordic noir genre… throw in some fantastic location shots of Sweden's mountainous north, and we're all the way in on this investigation.' Where to watch: Stream all five episodes on Netflix. Glenn Close stars as Patty Hewes, a brilliant but ruthless lawyer whose life is changed forever when she hires a young, ambitious protégé (Rose Byrne). Though the series focuses on the complex relationship between the two professionals, it also charts the cases they work on — taking a three-pronged approach as a legal thriller, gripping murder mystery and an adrenaline-fueled character study. The series has an impressive 91% average score on Rotten Tomatoes, with series three and four both receiving a 100% rating. A review from the Los Angeles Times called Damages 'one of the best shows on television', while New York Daily News wrote 'few shows on television are written and acted with such fascinating mystery.' Where to watch: Available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video from £2.49. Starring Callum Turner, Ben Miles and Paapa Essiedu, this BBC crime thriller explores the 'terrifying world of deepfake technology' through the eyes of an 'ambitious young Detective Inspector' (played by Holliday Grainger). The first season sees a soldier's past conviction of murder, which was overturned due to flawed video evidence, come back to haunt him, while season two follows a new conspiracy involving Chinese spies and a British politician. Fans have praised it as 'stunningly good', with one anonymous user writing on Rotten Tomatoes: 'Absolutely gripping show. Moves at a great pace with great actors and a great storyline. Twists and turns and super realistic to the current world.' Another said: 'One of the best series I've ever watched. Thought the first season was good but the 2nd takes it to the next level. Need more series like this. The ending was sublime, left me utterly speechless.' Where to watch: Series one and two are available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. If you're a fan of American police procedural The Closer, you might also want to check out Major Crimes, which is set in the same police department. Captain Sharon Raydor (Mary McDonnell) leads the team in the LAPD's Major Crimes Division, and is attempting to repair burned bridges and win the trust of her colleagues while dealing with high-profile crimes and building air-tight cases. More Trending On Google reviews, Sherel Hallford wrote of the series: 'Such an Outstanding show! Characters and actors are admirable and realistic. The storylines [are] so enjoyable. Mary McDonnell portrayed Captain Raydor so well, showing dignity, integrity, strength and intelligence.' And Lesly S called Major Crimes 'one of my favorite shows of all time.' They added: 'This show was a classic and I wish more shows were like this.' View More » Where to watch: Available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video from £2.49. Got a story?
