All Neighbours spoilers for next week as return is confirmed

Neighbours may have wrapped filming this week, but the drama doesn’t stop there – five months worth of episodes are yet to come, and next week a major villain stages his return.

In the wake of a troubling few months, Jane Harris (Annie Jones) gets back into the dating game, but is alarmed when she discovers that her new fella is none other than evil Dr Gavin Bowman (Cameron MacDonald).

Luckily, it doesn’t go any further than their initial meeting… but it’s enough for Remi Varga-Murphy (Naomi Rukavina) and Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) to be fearful.

The latter turns to Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) for support once again, and he’s glad to have her when things kick off between wife Wendy (Candice Leask) and his biological sister Gretchen Brook (Amelia Bishop) at daughter Sadie’s (Emerald Chan) birthday party.

As Wendy cools down from her row, an overly clingy Saskia Ramsay (Mia Foran) begins to get in the way. After receiving a spiky shutdown from her teacher, she decides to get revenge.

Elsewhere, Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) worries that one Ramsay Street resident is mistreating his daughter Abigail, and both Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux) and Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) are stung by Sadie’s brutal actions.

Plus, as Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) goes to interview for a new council position, he learns a huge secret about Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) – something she’s keeping from partner Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis).

For all the hottest drama from Erinsborough, I’m your man. In fact, I even went down to the Lassiters Complex to see it for myself… keep your eyes peeled for a certain Metro reporter in Thursday’s instalment.

Here’s a look at what’s happening in Neighbours next week…

Monday, June 14

Byron and Nicolette encourage Jane to confront the burdens she’s been dealing with, and suggest that hitting the dating scene could be just the ticket. After all, a bit of attention could do her the world of good.

Nic is surprised when her mum takes her advice, and has very quickly landed herself a date. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go to plan, and she can’t figure out why.

While debriefing to Terese, she shows her friend a picture of the man. She’s shocked to see it’s Gavin Bowman, the doctor who poisoned the wine at the Eirini Rising launch and kidnapped Holly!

Elsewhere, Krista is terrified of letting Leo down over his baby plans, but knows she can’t put it off. At breaking point, she confesses everything and he’s unsurprisingly understanding.

Leo says he’ll be there for when she’s ready, but later, Krista tells Terese that she doesn’t think she will ever be ready.

As she reconnects with her husband step-daughter Abigail, a new issue comes to light. Abby tells them both that she’s afraid of Jane, following an incident during the previous night’s babysitting.

Jane has absolutely no idea where her fear has stemmed from, and the family put it down to jet lag. But Krista isn’t satisfied…

Plus, Sadie and Taye face a struggle when trying to keep their tryst secret from Byron, who is aghast at the idea of moving on with someone else.

The two enjoy an afternoon in the hot tub when Cara arrives, forcing Sadie to hide Taye under the water until she leaves. She then repeats the same move when Byron shows off, but with Taye struggling to breathe under water, they have to come clean.

Byron is deeply hurt, and asserts that his friendship with Taye is over.

Tuesday, June 15

Jane and Terese realise that they’re the only ones aware of Bowman’s release from prison. To make matters worse, Jane soon runs into him again and despite knowing how brutal he can be, decides to give him a piece of her mind.

Holly is unaware and readies herself to attend Sadie’s 21st birthday party, but decides to give Andrew a wide berth after their odd romantic moment in the city last week.

When she discovers Bowman is roaming Erinsborough, her anxiety starts to spiral. While her family and Max offer their support, it’s clear that only Andrew can provide the courage needed to face the situation.

Cara and Remi begin to wonder how Dex will feel, given he was the one who consumed the tainted alcohol. Remi is more unsettled than she lets on, as her wife decides to accost Bowman and order him to keep distance from the family.

At the Rodwell residence, Wendy is looking forward to putting aside her differences with Andrew’s biological sister Gretchen. As much as she convinces herself she isn’t burnt by the situation, it could be harder than she anticipates.

The tension simmers between the women, and eventually erupts, causing Gretchen and Stephen to storm out.

Elsewhere, Karl heads for his interview with the council for the Seniors Advisor job, and it goes well. However, while he’s there, he discovers that Terese has applied for a change of use assessment of Power Road, preparing to put it up for sale.

She admits it’s true, but hasn’t told Paul.

Karl is deeply concerned that the sale could affect his business at The 82, and is wary of what the future may hold.

Wednesday, June 16

Andrew is upset with Wendy and believes she should have risen above Gretchen.

When Sadie discovers she failed to meet her grandfather and aunt, she’s extremely disappointed. Andrew reassures her that he’ll try and makee things right, but the best thing they can do for now is try and enjoy the party.

He takes comfort with the fact Holly is there to guide him along the difficult path…

Wendy wants to pull her husband to one side for a proper conversation, but is constantly distracted by Saskia, who has turned up uninvited and won’t leave her teacher’s side.

Eventually she reaches breaking point and kicks off, leaving Saskia mortified.

The next day in school, she seeks revenge and decides to lock Wendy in the store cupboard!

Elsewhere, Taye presents Sadie with a cheeky gift, but as she gives him a thank you kiss, Max, Holly and Remi interrupt. Their relationship is now public and everyone has their own opinions.

Remi ensures her brother is treating Sadie properly, and is surprised by his admission that he genuinely cares for her. But unfortunately for him, she later spells out that they’re nothing more than friends with benefits.

Thursday, June 17

Wendy is trapped in the store room and Andrew is becoming increasingly concerned by her disappearance. Luckily, it’s not long before Jane finds her.

When the blame is pinned on Sadie, she turns on the waterworks and Jane takes her side, snapping at Wendy for being unprofessional.

The situation worsens when Dex gives Saskia an alibi, claiming that she was with him at the cafe when the incident happened and that she’s totally incapable of doing something so devious.

Later, the teens approach Susan outside of Harolds and ask her about part-time positions at Eirini Rising. Susan is more than happy for her to apply, and later offers her an orientation tour of the building.

When the tour ends, Saskia looks for any opportunity to stick around. Her bond with Susan is growing, but is it healthy?

At the hotel, a new business opportunity excites Krista. Paul has volunteered the branch to host the Global Hotel Conference last minute, and has asked her to create a full program of events by the next day.

When Terese mentions it’ll be a lot of work, Krista’s enthusiasm wanes. She begins to doubt her abilities, and is glad when Terese steps in. It’s a welcome distraction for her too – as it means she can take her mind off the sale of Power Road.

Elsewhere, Leo asks Jane to look after Abby, dismissing Krista’s concerns about the arrangement.

The youngster knocks food all over the rug in No. 24’s living room, causing Jane to lash out.

Later, Leo is alarmed when he spots his daughter reenacting the punishment using her dolls. She’s reluctant to go back to Jane’s house, and his worries are only intensified when Byron mentions that his mum has had somewhat of a short fuse lately.

Determined to get to the bottom of it, Leo sets up his tablet to secretly record Jane while she babysits…
