Since she first scribbled “Mrs Chelsea Robinson” on a napkin at The Waterhole, Chelsea Murphy has had her sights set on landing herself a sweet deal with Paul. Money. Status. Lifestyle. Paul can give it all to her. David’s death leaving Paul hurt and vulnerable just made her plan all that bit easier.
But as Paul starts to regain his focus, Chelsea’s control over Paul starts to weaken.
With the Lassiters Lie-In hailed as a success, Paul can only praise Krista. She feels empowered by this, finally being recognised by the man who once wanted to run her out of town.
Chelsea isn’t so happy though, seeing her power at the hotel and control over Paul slip away, so she starts criticising Krista’s further ideas. Krista’s new-found confidence allows her to stand up to Chelsea and she tells her that she will now only deal directly with Paul, bypassing Chelsea completely.
Chelsea later sees Paul reward Krista with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, making her feel even further away from Paul.
Krista invites Leo to her baby’s ultrasound and he notices that Krista’s confidence has bloomed because of the support from Paul. He briefly thanks Paul for acknowledging her and Paul sees that being kind to Krista is probably the easiest path back into Leo’s life.
Paul offers Krista the opportunity to brief Lucy and the Lassiters International team on the Lie-In, leaving Chelsea completely on the sidelines.
Krista isn’t the only woman in Paul’s life giving Chelsea cause for concern. When he organises a thoughtful gesture for Terese, Chelsea brings up the subject of Paul’s will, telling him that his solicitors have suggested re-evaluating who is included, highlighting the fact that Terese is to benefit substantially if Paul died.
Paul dismisses her concerns, leaving Chelsea to believe that Paul will never let go of Terese.
Chelsea reads Paul’s will again and pays a lot of attention to the section that talks about his children. Realising that she needs to take action, she throws her contraceptive pills away and goes on the seduction offensive with Mr Robinson…
This all plays out in the episode scheduled to air on Monday 18th March, the show’s 39th anniversary! You can catch new episodes of Neighbours streaming on Amazon Freevee and Amazon Prime Video from 7am Monday-Thursday.
