I'm pretty sure there's no Christmas break this year?

Ohh yes. True: However, if you'll be missing your soap fix from Down Under, then Neighbours still airs all year round and will still be on TV over Christmas.

I'll have to find a way of watching it while on holiday then.

Digital Spy expanded Neighbours spoilers for 3rd - 7th December are now available:

Monday 3 Dec

Amy, Leo and Terese are pleased when Jane continues to be a positive influence on Paul, although Jane still doesn't know why she was really brought to Erinsborough. Jane congratulates Terese on her new romance, mentioning her own happiness at the relationship that's burgeoning between her and Paul.

Jane's obvious feelings for Paul, and ignorance of his recent behaviour, pique Terese's guilt. She eventually confesses to Jane why they really asked her to come – and spills the beans on Paul's vindictive behaviour. Upset, Jane chooses to leave Erinsborough rather than continue to be a pawn in their games.

Meanwhile, when Terese and Leo come home to a house full of 20-somethings playing drinking games, Leo wants to join in. However, Terese's answers in the game pique her unease about the age difference in their relationship.

Elsewhere, Sonya's irritability increases, unknowingly suffering withdrawal symptoms thanks to Alice's machinations. Alice grasps another opportunity to make Sonya look bad, showing Toadie one of Nell's drawings in which Sonya appears menacing and angry. Alice gets in Toadie's ear about the picture, "fearing" that Nell's been affected by Sonya's moods.

Tue 4 Dec

Paul declares his feelings and begs Jane to stay, but she needs time to think. She turns to Dipi for an outsider's perspective on what's been going on. Terese makes it clear to Paul that he and Jane will never work if he follows his old pattern of expecting a woman to make him a better person. Susan backs up this advice, telling Paul that he needs to become a better person of his own accord.

Seeing the truth in this, Paul makes a more grounded plea for Jane's affections and this time she accepts, but only on the condition that he builds bridges with his kids. Jane organises a family meeting to do this and Paul is forced to be vulnerable.
The family commit to moving forward, thanks to Jane.

Meanwhile, struggling as he awaits the Huntington's test results, Mark misdirects his frustration at Bea and snaps at her at the garage. He admits to Elly that he's terrified about his results and she supports him as they work through his fears.

Bea tells Ned about the incident and he confronts Mark, spoiling for a fight. Mark knows he overstepped so apologises to Bea, commenting on how Ned jumped to her defence. Wanting to set clearer boundaries, Bea asks Ned to let her fight her own battles.

Wed 5 Dec

Elly tries to reason with Jane in the hope of saving her job, but all attempts fall on deaf ears and she loses the will to fight. Not wanting to burden Mark or Susan with her job loss, Elly finds comfort in Chloe. The women spend a fun, girly afternoon together, with Chloe ensuring that Elly feels buoyed.

Elly is grateful for the support, especially considering everything Chloe has to deal with in comparison. During a moment of deep connection, Chloe's feelings for Elly grow to the point where impulse takes over… and Chloe kisses her.

Meanwhile, David is concerned that Aaron is using intense exercise as a means to deal with his fear over potentially having the Huntington's gene. He pushes Aaron to open up and reconsider having the test, but Aaron won't budge. David turns to Leo to vent his frustrations, prompting Leo to deliver Aaron some tough love… he needs to stop thinking only of himself, as this issue impacts David too.

Confronted by Leo's words, Aaron opens up to David, justifying his stance with the fact that he doesn't want to add further grief to the family when they're already dealing with so much. David accepts this, though he's still not convinced it's the right move.

Elsewhere, Dipi feels guilty about the role she played in Elly's firing. She realises she only told Jane about Elly being off school grounds because she wanted to get in the new principal's good books.

Dipi lets slip to Susan that Elly is soon to be unemployed, prompting Susan to confront Jane about the choices she's making at the school. Jane thinks she has every right to do what she sees fit and indicates to Susan that she may be in the principal role long term. This gets Susan's back up, giving her yet another reason to clear her name and get back to work.

Thurs 6 Dec

Elly is stunned by the kiss that Chloe has just planted on her. Chloe tries to brush it off and wants Elly to forget about it. The women don't get a chance to discuss it any further when Mark interrupts to tell them his test results are ready in the morning.

The family gathers at the hospital, anxiously waiting to see what fate Mark has been dealt. Despite the Chloe kiss being unresolved, Elly feels an overwhelming urge to cement her relationship with Mark and surprises him with a marriage proposal.

She makes it clear that her love is unconditional, whatever the test results say – she wants to marry him.

Moved, Mark accepts, then discovers he doesn't have the Huntington's gene. It provides instant relief for everyone and gives Aaron the courage to change his mind. He tells David that he'll now have the test and the couple head to the hospital to do it.

Later, Chloe does her best to assure Elly that the kiss was a meaningless non-event. However, the truth is that Chloe is starting to fall hard for her future sister-in-law.

Meanwhile, Alice dumps Toadie's laptop and makes an anonymous phone call to the police, ensuring it's found. Toadie is pleased to have it back, unaware Alice has tampered with it for some nefarious reason. Toadie becomes worried about Sonya, whose flu like symptoms are getting worse. Alice takes delight in seeing Sonya's withdrawal unfolding just as she hoped.

Alice begins playing on Sonya's disoriented state, orchestrating for her to 'find' photos of Andrea on Toadie's laptop. Sonya fears the worst, believing Toadie must still hold a candle for Andrea. She has a meltdown, angrily confronting her husband.

Toadie is confused and alarmed by his wife's state, especially when he checks his laptop and the photos she claims to have seen are nowhere to be found.

Fri 7 Dec

Having made Sonya look suitably mentally unstable, Alice encourages Toadie to go to work while she looks after 'sick' Sonya. When a disorientated Sonya wakes up alone in the house, she goes searching for Toadie and finds herself lost and vulnerable in an unfamiliar place.

Alice raises the alarm when she realises Sonya is missing, but lies about her own whereabouts at the time Sonya walked off. Toadie is none the wiser about his manipulative nanny, and as he rallies the troops to look for his wife, night falls.

Alone, disoriented, and quaking with withdrawal symptoms, Sonya crosses paths with a group of Christmas revellers, who are passing round a bottle of sparkling wine. When they offer her the bottle, Sonya feels a wave of temptation. Will she give in?

Meanwhile, when Amy pays Gary's way after a meal yet again, he's left feeling out of sorts. He tries to get over it, but feels like his lack of money is thrown in his face when Amy offers to pay for flights and accommodation to New York to see Jimmy for Christmas. She can't understand his reaction, but when Gary explains he's determined not to be a sponge, they agree to kick his repayment plan into gear.

Elsewhere, Xanthe feels guilty about the money situation she's put her dad in with Amy. Xanthe decides to spend the summer weeks earning money however she can, determined to contribute to Gary's repayment plan. When Paul catches wind of Xanthe's ambitions, he uses his influence to offer her a job back at the day spa. Despite her wariness of working for Paul Robinson after all he's done recently, Xanthe agrees.

The age gap between Leo and Terese is exaggerated. Terese is only 12 years older than Leo. Other way around and it wouldn't even be mentioned.
