It is a big week in Erinsborough as Ramsay Street prepare for Haz and Mackenzie’s wedding. There are a couple of potential issues with the wedding… firstly, Byron lied to Vera Punt about th date of the wedding. A more serious issue is the return of Wade Fernsby, who is in hospital following the prison riot. He is in prison after being tricked into capture by Haz… this timely return can’t be a good sign, can it?
Elsewhere, Toadie shocked his friends and family by announcing he is relocating to Colac. Nell isn’t ready to leave the only home she has known, she doesn’t want to leave Terese behind and, not to mention, JJ.
The Brennan-Stone co-parenting agreement was smashed to pieces last week. Jane threw Nic out of the house and Aaron wonders if he can trust Nicolette again. As the whole world seems to be against Nic right now, can she get back into her daughter’s life?
As always, we aren’t spilling all the beans, but let’s take a look at some of the big stories of the week, but you will need to watch all the episodes of Neighbours to find out everything that happens!
