Neighbours lines up major return as another resident’s trauma haunts them

Neighbours are lining up a huge return – as Vic Stone (Craig Hall) arrives back on Ramsay Street.

His arrival sparks trouble not only for children Byron (Xavier Molyneux) and Nicolette (Hannah Monson) and ex-wife Jane Harris (Annie Jones), but also Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) who is lining up a hot date with him!

There’s tensions between Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and ex-wife Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) when he realises that he’s growing closer to her, whilst Dex Varga-Murphy (Marley Williams) gets an exciting proposal.

Elsewhere in Erinsborough, Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) injures himself during Boylesque rehearsals – will this put a stop to the fundraiser?

Plus there’s further upset for Andrew (Lloyd Will) and Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask) as they battle through their martial woes.

Monday, October 7

Melanie is full of nervous excitement ahead of her date with Vic, and confesses to Krista that she’s hopeful of him being ‘the one’. Whilst it gets off to an awkward start, the two quickly find their groove and it’s clear there’s chemistry…

…until Jane and Nicolette arrive at The Waterhole. Mel is devastated to learn who he really is, and with a heavy heart they agree that they can never see each other again.

Vic sticks around and waits for Byron, hoping to explain why he’s back. The family are thrown when he reveals he made a huge mistake after discovering his cancer was in remission and he now wants to earn their forgiveness.

Nic stays quiet whilst Byron tears strips off their dad, insisting that there is no way he will ever be forgiven.

Elsewhere, Terese can’t help but find herself in Paul’s orbit again and invites him to lunch as a thank you for looking after her recently. Jane warns her against it, whilst he tries to keep his feelings in check.

Later, Paul admits to Leo that he’s close to crossing the line with his ex-wife and vows to keep his distance.

After convincing Byron to take part in the Boylesque act last week, Aaron encourages him to show off his skills. However, when his ideas aren’t too grand, he’s inspired by a high-flying act her used to perform for one of his clients during his escort days…

Tuesday, October 8

Vic continues to fight for his acceptance in Erinsborough, and tries to apologise to Leo for backing out of the Yorokobi deal.

He then heads over to No. 24, and attempts to reach out to Jane in the hope she might understand the emotional overload he was experiencing after learning his illness was no longer terminal.

Later, he approaches Byron and tells him that he’s set aside $100,000 to make up for the larger amount of cash he’d promised him and Nic. Byron insists he doesn’t want it, and doesn’t want to rely on another promise that is likely to be broken.

After a heartfelt plea, Byron is softened slightly. However, when Vic approaches Nicolette, expecting her to be the kindest, he suffers a huge set back. She can’t believe his audacity, feeling that he’s taken her for granted.

She refuses to let him off the hook, and wishes that he’d leave town.

Elsewhere, Paul approaches Susan to confess his intention to step away from Terese and to ask for her assistance in making sure she will be okay. Karl is concerned that there might be a hidden agenda, but Susan agrees to be there for their friend.

As much as it pains him, Paul begins to ignore her string of texts and Terese is stung by his rejection, though tries to keep her façade up.

Susan suggests a diversion for her – that they should go for brunch – and while she’s initially too focussed on Paul to accept, she then decides to use it to her advantage…

As the Boylesque preparations get underway, Aaron is practising his dance moves when he suddenly falls and clutches his hamstring.

Claiming that he’s just stubbed his toe, he struggles on on the understanding that the whole event will fall apart without him.

When Byron clocks his unease, he’s forced to admit the truth – and how long his recovery will be likely to take. Byron tells Aaron that his solo routine can be made into a duet, with him taking on all go the difficult moves.

Wednesday, October 9

After debating whether to accept his dad’s cash, Byron cautiously decides that he’s open to it. However, when Nicolette learns what’s being proposed, she refuses to have anything to do with it and doesn’t want to feel like they owe their father in any way.

Nic is encouraged by Jane to think about the financial implications of turning down the cash, as it would mean Isla has a good start in life. She’s left conflicted.

Later, Jane approaches Vic and informs him that if their children do accept his money, he can’t use it against them to regain forgiveness. He’s left delated, and Melanie takes pity on him, offering to join him for a drink – but only as friends.

Elsewhere, after taking a few days away from each other to contemplate their actions, Andrew reaches out to Wendy to talk. However, she’s riled up over how long it’s taken him to feel able to and rejects him.

As Andrew becomes frustrated with everyone else in his life, Wendy is infuriated with Sadie’s unsympathetic nature and turns to Remi instead.

She points out that nobody will be able to help her until she can bring herself to talk to Andrew, and she agrees.

Down on Power Road, Holly is feeling anxious whilst working at the tram and a number of noises begin to trigger memories of her recent hostage experience. Felix notices her unease, but when she attempts to help him out she shuts him down and says there’s nothing to worry about.

As she keeps her PTSD close to her chest, she later finds him sleeping at the tram. It seems both of them are keeping secrets!

Down at the complex, Leo sets out to find another performer to ensure he isn’t forced up on stage. He and Aaron pitch the idea to estate agent Rhett, who has been working on the sale of Sonya’s Nursery.

Aaron agrees to help teach him the choreography, and Leo clocks a potential romantic interest. At the rehearsal, it seems like he could be onto something!

Thursday, October 10

With Paul continuing to avoid Terese, she makes an effort to finally pin him down. In an attempt to bump into him, she drags Susan off to the Lassiters Day Spa.

Whilst the women enjoy their treatment, Susan comes clean and reveals that Paul is keeping his distance for fear of falling for her again. She hopes that this will make Terese wake up to what’s happening between them, but instead she becomes more miserable and admits that nothing feels as good as his attention at the moment.

Elsewhere, Karl allows Felix to continue staying at The 82 to avoid bumping into dodgy characters at the halfway house. Susan is surprised by Holly’s negativity towards him, especially since he saved them during the siege.

She’s forced to come clean and reveal that he’s pushing her to face up to her PTSD. When Felix hands her a book on surviving trauma, she jams it in the dishwasher.

Wendy prepares herself for a difficult chat with Andrew and decides to make a special meal for them both. Unfortunately, she catches him in a foul mood after a horrific Boylesque rehearsal and he’s not willing to engage.

His frustrations continue to plague his work life too, and he receives a warning for yelling at a junior officer. When a smart-mouthed suspect rubs him up the wrong way, he flips and is suspended.

At No. 30, Cara is delighted to hear that she’s passed her uni course. There’s even more excitement when Dex is offered a chance to do study computer science at Eden Hills whilst he finishes up at Erinsborough High.

Dex is initially resistant, with Cara and Remi agreeing that the social implications could be difficult for him. After consulting the uni staff, the mums decide to enrol their son on a course at an independent college which holds classes outside of school hours.
