THIS ARTICLE REFERENCES THE UNMISSABLE DRAMA IN THE EPISODES OF NEIGHBOURS SCHEDULED TO AIR BETWEEN MONDAY MAY 27TH AND THURSDAY MAY 30TH.
The end of last week saw the huge bombshell that Vic Stone is terminally ill, much to the shock of Jane, Byron and Nicolette. Byron is forced to reassess his feelings about his father and even Jane is surprised by how she feels about her ex-husband.
The pressure is on at Eirini Rising where they are getting ready for the big grand opening, butu with the working relationship between Terese and Susan on very rocky ground, will everything go to plan?
So, let’s take a look what we can expect next week in Erinsborough, as always we have left some of the juiciest parts of the story out, so make sure you watch to see exactly what the neighbours get up to!
A MYSTERY PERSON PAYS A VISIT TO THE VINEYARD
JJ is excited to start his new job at the vineyard, but gets a quick dose of reality when the tasks he is given to do are menial and boring. Nell, who has fallen behind with her homework, decides to skip school and head to the vineyard to hang out with JJ. He is really happy for the distraction, but it means he isn’t paying attention to his work.
When the pair leave a room unlocked, a shadowy figure enters and injects a mysterious substance into one of the bottles of wine that JJ was supposed to be getting ready for the Eirini Rising gala opening.
On the day of the opening the wine arrives with everyone unaware that one of the bottles has been tampered with. Who will drink the poisoned wine?

Jane offers to mediate between Vic and Byron and with her support, the two find a way to come back together.
Vic outlines a plan to secure a financial legacy for his children and although Byron and Nicolette struggle with their father’s generosity, Jane can’t help but be affected by seeing this side of he ex-husband emerge and both she and Vic can’t help but wonder what could have been between them…
AFter spending some quality time with his children, Vic decides to delve deeper into their personal lives. When he learns that Nicolette has spent the night with Haz’s sister Amira and sees how energised Nic is to have found a connection with someone again, he makes a point to tell Amira to seize the day and jump into a relationship with Nicolette.
Vic also manages to get Byron to admit that he has strong feelings for Sadie and can possibly see a future for the two of them. Vic then shares this information with Wendy, who is shocked.
