Neighbours Spoilers. Will Elly go to jail? Will Bea pen a new song about the mine? Who's going to keep Asteroid? How will we cope on two episodes a week? Will they all go into lockdown?

[SleepingStandingUp]

Spoilers y'all. Though goodness knows what we'll do when we run out of episodes. Hope everyone has accents ready for the mass roll play!

Good, that means we won’t be too far behind. The scenes where Claudia gets custody of Aster and the Kennedys have to hand her over are absolutely heartbreaking. Sam is such a cow.

From Australian TV Week

Shaun's Alive!

With the walls closing in on a scheming Claudia, the fate of her missing son is finally revealed.

Claudia visits Elly in prison with Aster, as part of the custody requirements. Elly feels powerless in prison, particularly knowing she can't provide safety for Aster while she's there.

While Claudia thinks her cunning plan for permanent custody is working, she's unaware Chloe has been doing some sleuthing. Her tenacity has unearthed strong evidence that will enable the Kennedys to regain custody of Aster while Elly remains in prison.

When Claudia realises the jig is up, she decides to flee the country with Aster. But when she arrived at the airport hangar to board her jet, she's stunned by who she sees there: her son Shaun, who was thought to be dead! Claudia is in total shock and overwhelmed that her son is standing on front of her.

Shaun lust for adventure put him in a sticky situation and found himself fighting for his life. Now he's trying to deal with an overload of information which is a confusing and isolating time for him.

Wanting nothing more than to reunite with Elly and his daughter Aster, Shaun demands that Claudia face the music in Erinsborough. He's devastated that she's trying to separate his family and tries to reason with her.

Can Shaun convince Claudia to give up her plan to leave the country with Aster and return the baby to her home in Ramsay Street?

Impressive timing. We totally called alive Shaun tho from the second they said "they can't find the body..."

Apparently it is Pierce who was Naomi’s past. Bit disappointed.

Who is Karl's past girlfriend? Have we seen her before? I only remember Sarah and Izzy!

She’s called Olivia Bell, played by Alyce Platt, who also played Jen Handley back in the day. I think Karl only went on one date with her. She was a blind lady I think.

Sorry, meant to say she was a blind date I think they went out twice.

Neighbours is back on 5 days a week from next week. Whoop whoop

@Lovewineandchocs was that around the time Susan was married to Alex?

curbside no it was around the end of 2012. Susan worked at the Erinsborough News I think, and Priya Kapoor was having her affair with Paul.

I don't remember that at all!

It was very short lived, they went out on one date then Karl got overexcited and provided a Heston Blumenthal style tasting session at number 28-she got freaked out by all the trouble he went to and didn’t go out with him again

Why did they split that time? I can’t remember them splitting since Alex but it used to happen so often 😂

I think it was due to the strain of Ringo’s death and the whole Steph baby lie, then Karl was jealous of Susan being friendly with Jim Dolan. As far as I remember they were about to divorce in 2013 but Sarah Beaumont convinced them not to sign the papers and give their marriage another chance.

I don’t like mean for the sake of it Paul. I like bad ass Paul and secretly friendly Paul.

Me too. I hate the fact that he’s trying to drive a wedge between Chloe and Pierce just because of his dislike of Chloe and business differences with Pierce. Also it feels like around the 6 billionth edition of Hotel Wars Erinsborough

Yes we they do seem to bring back "hotel wars" and mean Paul every few months.
I'm so glad the Elly / Aster / Claudia / Shaun / Finn storyline will be resolved in the next week or so 🙏🏻

• Chloe, Pierce and Naomi celebrate their success in the Canning's spa.
• Shaun announces he's leaving for Switzerland, reassuring Elly he'll be back when he can be a better father.

Friday, 29 May 2020 [8374] (UK: Friday, 19 June)

• Dipi and Shane discuss the possibility of Grant coming to Erinsborough for his Worksafe case.
• Toadie's resentment towards Dee and Heather continues to build.
• Naomi hears the rumour Paul is spreading about Chloe being attracted to her and an idea comes to mind.

Do we know if Dee and Toadie are going to be together properly, or will Dee be going back to Byron?

I don't think the actress has signed up for a proper stint, so presume it'll all go wrong again

She hasn’t signed up yet but she did say she’d like to come back permanently. I wonder if they’ll kill off Andrea and just have her play Dee? That’s if she does come back permanently of course. I don’t think she will in this stint, I hear the Heather thing gets between them and Andrea’s scheme involves Dee and it’s all too much for Toadie, so I reckon they’ll split for a while before any permanent return.

If she comes back permanently she has to dye her hair. The wig game is appalling

Awful isn’t it? And she really suits dark hair too. I fear they are keeping both Dee and Andrea blonde for a reason, like they did last time. Although Andrea pulling a prison switcheroo does sound far-fetched but it is Neighbours It would be beyond belief that she would try to fool Toadie again but perhaps an escape would buy her enough time to snatch Hugo and run, using the money Claudia put into her account.
