Neighbours confirms legend’s return as sex scandal is exposed

Neighbours is lining up a massive comeback next week, as Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson) makes a welcome return to Ramsay Street.

Her arrival into Melbourne’s most liveable suburb comes at exactly the right time, as her aunt Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is in dire need of some extra help at Eirini Rising.

It’s all hands on deck, especially when Jane Harris’ (Annie Jones) secret trysts with Clint Hendry (Jason Wilder) come to light.

Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) also needs comforting following Aaron Brennan’s (Matt Wilson) spiking incident, becoming increasingly concerned that he was the intended target.

Cara Varga-Murphy’s (Sara West) plight to track down her sister Chelsea (Viva Bianca) reaches an unfortunate and abrupt end when she receives some devastating news, but a new romance for Nicolette Stone (Hannah Monson) could blossom as a result of it.

There’s further upset for Krista Sinclair (Majella Davis) when fiancé Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) discovers that she’s been hiding a huge secret from him.

Plus Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) is left in an awkward situation when he discovers Fallon Morrell’s (Kate Connick) true identity.

For all the hottest goss from Erinsborough, I’m your man. Here’s a look ahead to next week’s Neighbours.

Flaming Roxy, anyone?

Monday, February 17

Holly (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) makes it her mission to win the Lassiters Piano Bar managerial position from Taye, but she’s ultimately unsuccessful.

As Valentine’s Day arrives, Fallon is uncomfortable at the sight of Krista enjoying a romanic evening with Leo at Yorokobi.

As she works away, Byron (Xavier Molyneux) accidentally points out a sore spot in her love life and she’s forced to turn to her sister for support.

During their chat, Fallon tells her that she didn’t have a significant other in Mykonos.

When she returns home, Krista is surprised to find a letter from Sebastian (Rarmian Newton) who has used some of her cash to book himself into a rehab facility in Sydney.

Whilst she’s pleased to see him make a positive step, Fallon is privately furious to not receive her own correspondence, having supported him herself whilst they lived in Greece.

Krista asks her sibling not to divulge to Leo about her letter, though it leaves her even more confused about who she wants to be with.

Venting her frustration to Taye, he’s stunned to learn that Krista is his boss!

Elsewhere, Cara introduces Nicolette to her cousin Maddy during their search for Chelsea.

There’s chemistry between the two from the outset, and whilst Cara and Remi (Naomi Rukavina) head off for a romantic Valentine’s night, Nic works some magic with her new acquaintance.

Little does Maddy know, Nic is actually on a secret mission to dig dirt on Chelsea – and it’s worked.

She finds one of Chelsea’s perfume bottles with a thank you note attached, and delivers the evidence to Cara.

Maddy finally admits that she helped her give birth, but she’s since moved on and she’s unaware of her circumstances.

Cara pleads with her to pass one one final message to Chelsea – she’s sorry.

Tuesday, February 18

Aaron is discharged from hospital, and Jane admits to him that she’s struggling to find somewhere private for them to be alone together.

He suggests that they use her own house during the day, when everyone is at work.

Boosted by Aaron’s idea, Jane and Clint meet for an afternoon rendezvous, but they’re soon interrupted by Terese who wants to quiz them on the methods they can use to track down the Eirini Rising cleaning products thief.

When more of the chemicals go missing, Aaron suggests that Clint could be the man responsible. Jane is mortified with the suggestion, but she’s left with an uneasy feeling.

After discovering that the woman Fallon was complaining about was his new boss Krista, Taye wonders what her end game is.

She insists that she’s merely looking out for Leo, but her world comes crashing down when Krista discovers her spying at Seb’s letter.

The women sit down for a chat, where everything is revealed – including the awkward kiss and declaration of love.

It’s now time to tell Leo, but when Krista attempts to do so, Abby interrupts with excitement over the wedding.

When Fallon realises that the conversation hasn’t happened, she lets slip to Leo that Krista was planning to confess something.

Elsewhere, Cara receives a necklace from Chelsea in the mail, with a letter warning her to stay away attached.

Remi notices the new jewellery and wonders where it’s from, and she quickly covers by presenting it as a gift for her.

When she notices that Cara has been texting Nicolette a lot, her suspicions are piqued.

Wednesday, February 19

Leo confronts Krista and wants to know all of the details. She begs him to understand that the kiss was entirely one-sided, and that her letter from Seb is concerning his rehabilitation.

Despite worrying that Seb is still having a monumental impact on their engagement, he reluctantly agrees to move forward.

Krista tries to come to terms with her mistakes, and isn’t mad that Fallon let it slip. A weight has been lifted from her shoulders.

To his surprise, Fallon suggests to Leo that he postpone the wedding until they’ve been able to fully make amends, but he’s solid in his commitment and her intervention hasn’t worked.

Elsewhere, having forgiven Nicolette for her deception, Maddy shows up at Harolds and proposes another date.

Nic is tempted, but Cara orders her to turn down the offer as it’s too risky to continue keeping secrets about Chelsea from Remi.

Little does she realise, Remi has already spotted the two together and has arranged a catch up. Maddy is forced to play along with a false story in order to keep the investigation under wraps.

Despite receiving the warning letter, Cara can’t help but feel she’s at a loose end with Chelsea still nowhere to be found.

Down at Erinsborough High, Jane is unaware that a risky smooch with Clint has been witnessed by a student, whilst Terese begins to wonder whether he is responsible for stealing the cleaning products from Eirini Rising.

Jane manages to ease her suspicions, and before long their attention is turned to Jasmine (Frankie Mazzone), whose late night presence at the retirement complex has come to light.

She’s been helping one of the residents win card games for cash, and her sneaky exploitation is quickly shut down.

When Jasmine tells Jane that she’s being hypocritical and is exploiting one of her own employees, the penny drops that she was the student who witnessed her kissing Clint.

She’s mortified, and even more so when Terese overhears.

Thursday, February 20

Terese sees red when she learns that Jane and Clint were the culprits who had been using Eirini Rising as a secret love nest.

An explosive row ensues, and nobody is prepared to make a move to fix it.

Nicolette and Byron learn of their mother’s love life, and whilst they’re surprised, they find her new naughty side to be hilarious.

The matter soon escalates when Lana Kline (Elizabeth Parisi) from the Education Department steps in with some devastating news.

On Ramsay Street, Max is becoming increasingly paranoid about eating and drinking, for fear that he was the target of Aaron’s spiking.

Holly attempts to calm his mood by taking him on a spa session, but they’re soon interrupted by a returning Roxy who can see that something is wrong with him.

As he confides in his cousin, Sadie (Emerald Chan) lays down the law with Andrew (Lloyd Will) about his constant presence at their house.

She’s unaware that he’s been keeping an eye on Max, and accuses her dad of being clingy. Max’s guilty intensifies when he can see the strain between father and daughter.

With Susan (Jackie Woodburne) and Karl’s (Alan Fletcher) absence prolonging, Terese becomes overwhelmed by the workload and asks Roxy to help her out for a few weeks.

She doesn’t come without drama though, as Holly has to stop her from setting the bar on fire in an attempt to make a ‘Flaming Roxy’ cocktail.

Terese and Nell (Ayisha Salem-Towner) are thrilled to have her home, and she’s sure to liven up the suburb for the forseeable!
