Metro

4 days ago

Neighbours is lining up a huge return next week as Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) receives marching orders from Lassiters Hotel.
After pitting Krista Tanaka (Majella Davis) against Annalise Hartman (Kimberley Davies), and eventually admitting that he's lining up the latter for a full time managerial position, he's been playing with fire for quite some time.
The arrival of sister Lucy (Melissa Bell) sparks new trouble when she discovers that he's embezzled $300,000 out of the hotel company accounts to bail partner Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) out of her financial woes.
After some harsh words, Paul is told under no uncertain terms that he must keep his distance from the business. Is this the end of an era?
The affair drama ramps up when Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) lures Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) into her bed, and his wife Wendy (Candice Leask) comes dangerously close to finding out.
Plus, there's heartbreak for Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) when boyfriend Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire) announces his intention to move to the other side of the country.
For all the latest Neighbours goss, read on…
Nell tells JJ she needs space from him, and he apologises for overstepping. He's still not convinced that the way he spoke to her was the reason she freaked out, and she offers her own apology to throw him off the sent.
When admits that she misses Toadie and Hugo, and wants to spend some time with them in Colac, JJ reassures her that he'll be there upon her return and their relationship is back on steady ground once more.
Next door, Karl and Susan make a promise to Remi that they will organise a mediation session for her with Cara. Together they come to an agreement to be more respectful of one another's boundaries and feelings for the sake of JJ and Dex.
For the first time in a while, they're finally on a united front and offer an apology to the family for neglecting them.
Elsewhere, Nicolette is ready to take charge at Yorokobi and Leo is seriously impressed with her work ethic.
The two chat about the future, where she mentions being open to the idea of having another baby within the next few years. Leo agrees that David would've supported the idea.
Little does she realise, a big problem is about to hit the family.
Jane returns home from Byron's farewell trip and makes amends with Abby and Isla. Aaron is so pleased that things are looking up and decides to tell Rhett that he loves him – but the gesture isn't reciprocated.
He begins to spiral, and during Jane and Nic's attempt to clear the air, Rhett admits that he simply didn't hear him.
The two are happier than ever before, that is, until, Rhett announces that Tilly and her mum are moving to Adelaide, and he wants to join them.
Aaron is heartbroken by Rhett's decision, and thrown when he suggests he, Nicolette and Isla join them. He wants to consider the idea, but Nic knows that it would break Jane's heart so soon after losing Byron.
Rhett throws a lifeline, suggesting that Aaron splits his time between Adelaide and Erinsborough, but Jane can see that this brings an end to Nicolette co-parenting with him.
Jane drops hint of the doubt to Aaron, and he decides that Ramsay Street will be his home base.
Elsewhere, Holly is desperate for Andrew's attention and decides to set up another fake encounter with Gavin Bowman. He's concerned for her safety and assures her he'll handle the case personally, but is left confused by Bowman's solid alibi.
Holly is frustrated by how chaotic No. 28 is and how reluctant Andrew is to pursue their relationship, so decides to check into Lassiters for the night.
Andrew arrives to confront her about her lies, and she makes a heartfelt plea for him to acknowledge the spark between them. He leaves, but later returns and sweeps her into the bed.
Plus, the Kennedys face a series of interruptions when they plan for some alone time using Karl's new adult dice game.
Bring on the blue box!
Finally, Susan puts her foot down and ensures they have an enjoyable afternoon together.
Krista is pleased that the Jewellery Expo is on track even in Annalise's absence. She even tells Leo that she thinks she and Annalise could work well together.

The hotel drama ramps up ahead of Lucy's imminent arrival and Paul wants to keep her away from seeing the quarterly reports. Terese clocks his evasiveness and he's forced to admit that he 'borrowed' 300k from the company to bail her out so that she didn't have to sell Power Road.
She points out that he could go to jail for embezzlement, and as the two bicker over the idea of making the money back by quickly selling the land, Leo overhears.
Elsewhere, Wendy prepares a romantic meal for Andrew to celebrate the reveal of her entry into the jewellery competition, unaware that he's tangled in the bedsheets with Holly.
He arrives home and finds the meal packed away, and Wendy chooses not to make a big deal out of it. The next day, he's riddled with guilt – even more so when Holly sends through a racy picture that his wife almost sees.
Later, Andrew confronts Holly and asserts that what happened was a one-off. He heads home and sets up a romantic surprise for Wendy, who is overjoyed.
Holly, sat in the garden next door, overhears their laughter and breaks her heart.
Leo wants an explanation and isn't satisfied by what Paul tells him. He agrees not to tell Krista, but wants dad to come clean himself.
Annalise arrives back in town accompanied by Lucy, having been brought up to speed on his recent antics. Krista is called away from them by Leo, who tells her all about the missing money.
She wants to see things from Paul's perspective, but isn't sure whether she can look past it. She even spells out to Annalise that her managerial position relies solely on a condition she's given to Paul.
Annalise will come on board – but he must step back entirely from the hotel.
Lucy is suspicious, and after a night spent with Krista, Leo and Annalise at the penthouse, heads to Ramsay Street to confront her brother. She's fed up, and he has no other option but to reveal the truth.
Shocked, Lucy declares that Paul is banned from Lassiters and the Jewellery Expo henceforth. More Trending
Elsewhere, Wendy asks Andrew to model her bling so that she can compete with the other entrants on social media, but he's too self-conscious.
