Neighbours' Shane and Dipi to keep Dee Bliss secret after Sonya's exit
How long can they keep quiet for?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-bliss-secret/

Neighbours' new Dee Bliss secret will spread further over the next few days, leaving Shane and Dipi Rebecchi with a difficult decision to make.

The show is revisiting the possibility that the real Dee could still be alive, setting the stage for a whole new chapter of the story later this year.

This Friday's episode (March 1) sees Sonya Rebecchi confide in Shane about what really happened when she met with Andrea Somers at the psychiatric facility recently.

Sonya explains that Andrea told her about a strange encounter she once had with a man, who was convinced that she was somebody else. Andrea thinks this could mean the real Dee is still out there somewhere. If she's telling the truth, of course...

Shane is shocked by Sonya's revelation, and after she passes away in heartbreaking scenes next week, the big question is what he'll do next.

Seeing how much Toadie is struggling following the tragic loss of his wife, Shane becomes concerned for his brother's wellbeing.

Despite the poor timing, Shane is also conscious of what Sonya told him before she died – wondering whether Andrea genuinely holds a clue that could lead to the real Dee.

Shane needs someone to confide in, so he shares all of the details with his wife Dipi.

The couple agree that it's best to keep the Dee secret between themselves for the time being, knowing that Toadie is too fragile after Sonya's death.

Shane and Dipi do plan to fill Toadie in once he's in a stronger place, but how long will it take for that to happen?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, March 6 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours family feud ahead as Yashvi and Shane clash over Ned
It's about to go down.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ane-clash-ned/

There's a Neighbours family feud ahead as Yashvi and Shane clash over Ned.

Yashvi and Ned's relationship begins to cause problems this week when Ned starts interfering in Rebecchi family matters.

Shane is feeling uneasy about Ned after his outburst in defence of Yashvi, lamenting that he's no longer the most important man in her life. Ned is conscious of the tension he has created, so suggests that Yashvi should spend more time with her family, especially Shane.

Shane is excited for the catch-up Yashvi organises, but she gets caught up spending time with Ned beforehand and never shows up.

Worried, Shane goes to Ned to find out where Yashvi might be, only to discover the pair in their underwear. Clearly, Yashvi had better ways to spend her time.

Shane is left heartbroken and Yashvi is faced with the gravity of her stuff-up. How will she make amends with her dad?

Later, there's unrest at Number 30 as Shane and Yashvi find themselves at odds. Shane is still sour after Yashvi stood him up on their daddy-daughter date and Yashvi, sick of trying to apologise, is avoiding the house and spending more time with Ned.

Dipi worries this is becoming a major problem and Ned and Toadie can also see that the fractured relationship needs to be fixed.

The men encourage Yashvi to make amends, while Dipi reminds Shane that for a long time he was disconnected with his own family and it's taken years to heal those relationships.

She doesn't want history to repeat itself with Yashvi. Will Shane and Yashvi listen to the advice they're both being given?

Shane and Yashvi's attempt to reconcile only results in new arguments and an emotional Yashvi threatening to move out. Anxious to keep the family together, Dipi tries to bribe Yashvi with a car if she passes her exams, much to Shane's chagrin.

But Yashvi won't take the bait and heads over to Number 22. However, her plans are thwarted when Ned tells her she can't live with him – the house is too full and it's too early in their relationship for them to start living together.

Defeated, Yashvi's forced to return home but conjures up a new scheme, claiming she has changed her mind about moving out.

She tries to bluff Dipi and Shane by accepting the car, not telling them she has nowhere else to go. The bluff pays off and they agree to buy Yashvi a car, with Shane left annoyed that they have to stoop to this level.

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Digital Spy article. There has been speculation around for a while that the as-yet-unseen character of Jay Rebecchi will be joining the show at some stage. Maybe it will happen sooner rather than later......


Neighbours star Olivia Junkeer speaks out on missing character Jay Rebecchi
'I want to meet Jay too!'

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-jay-rebecchi/

Neighbours actress Olivia Junkeer has opened up about as-yet-unseen character Jay Rebecchi, saying that an appearance is "definitely on the cards".

Shane Rebecchi and wife Dipi have occasionally referenced their off-screen son since returning to the show in 2017.

However, while Jay is away studying at university, the Yashvi actress reckons we will see him at some point.

"Oh my gosh, I know! I want to meet Jay Rebecchi too! I hope so," she told Digital Spy. "I think it will happen eventually. It's definitely on the cards.

"I think it'd be great to have another Rebecchi family member. It'd be a really tight squeeze in the house!

"But I think we need another male to settle Kirsha and Yashvi down – and Dipi especially! I think it would also create a lot of drama, especially for Yashvi. So I think it'd be great."

Speaking of Yashvi's increase in storylines this year, Olivia said: "Oh yeah, I've become so much more busy now.

"It's great – I absolutely love it. When I first started, for the first couple of years, I was always there but never as involved. But now I am, I really enjoy it.

"It makes it so much more enjoyable and makes me more motivated. To be able to show such different stories constantly – and explore Yashvi developing from 15 to 18 – has been amazing.

"It's allowed me to delve into so many topics and really show the growth in Yashvi's moral compass. It's really, really great."

Neighbours hints at surprise exit storyline for Kirsha Rebecchi
Is she heading to Sydney?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...xit-storyline/

Neighbours hints that Kirsha Rebecchi could be leaving Ramsay Street next week.

The show hints at a possible exit storyline for Kirsha (Vani Dhir) as she opens up over her desire to broaden her horizons.

Next week's episodes see Kirsha come to the rescue of her uncle Toadie (Ryan Moloney) after he learns that a tax issue could jeopardise The Sonya Rebecchi Foundation.

Toadie is pleasantly surprised when Kirsha takes control of the situation, coming up with a way to organise all of his accounts to prevent any further troubles.

Having shown how capable she is, Kirsha admits that she has felt overlooked in the Rebecchi house recently.

Following some gentle coaxing from Toadie to be more honest about what she wants, Kirsha admits that she'd like to apply for an interstate school scholarship.

Sadly for Kirsha, her parents Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) and Dipi (Sharon Johal) are both opposed to the idea of her studying in Sydney, fearing that her anxiety would prove too problematic if she made such a big move.

The couple believe it's not the right time for Kirsha to fly the nest, even after Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) shows them a moving video essay their daughter has recorded, revealing how she doesn't let her anxiety hold her back.

Toadie soon takes matters into his own hands, going behind Shane and Dipi's backs to write Kirsha a recommendation letter.

The Ramsay Street lawyer encourages Kirsha to write an application and they can see what happens – crossing the bridge of Shane and Dipi's disapproval when they come to it.

Is this leading up to Kirsha leaving Erinsborough?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, October 23 and Thursday, October 24 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Unfortunately she has no story line to explore her character. Yashvi is just a spoilt brat who has all the attention.

Plus outside of acting, Kirsha is still in school and must be focusing her attention mostly on that and be a guest character at the same time.

It's more that the actress playing Kirsha is not available most of the time which is why she's isn't getting a major story line.

Neighbours confirms exit for Kirsha Rebecchi after two years
Vani Dhir's character is bowing out.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ani-dhir-exit/

Neighbours has confirmed that Kirsha Rebecchi will leave the show next week.

The schoolgirl bows out from Erinsborough in order to start on a scholarship in Sydney, as hinted in recent episodes.

Kirsha has been struggling to convince her family that she's ready to fly the nest, amid concerns that she's not independent enough to live in another state.

Upcoming scenes will see Kirsha's father Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) start to change his mind, before convincing his wife Dipi that they should respect their daughter's wishes and let her go.

Kirsha's departure airs at the end of next week, as she says her goodbyes to the other Rebecchis.

Wanting her new independent lifestyle to start straight away, Kirsha asks for nobody to join her on the journey to Sydney. Although Dipi (Sharon Johal) thinks this is a bad idea, Shane once again urges her to do what Kirsha has asked.

After some emotional farewells, Dipi suddenly turns on Shane and Toadie, expressing her fury over their respective roles in Kirsha's decision to leave the family home.

Will Dipi be able to forgive her family for meddling?

Vani Dhir has played the role of Kirsha since April 2017.

Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, November 22 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours danger for Yashvi Rebecchi as she crosses Ned Willis's fight club
Is it a move she'll live to regret?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...willis-danger/

Neighbours teen Yashvi Rebecchi puts herself in danger next week as she stands up to Ned Willis's fight club associates.

Yashvi (Olivia Junkeer) is determined to protect her ex-boyfriend following the worrying revelation that he has been involved in no-holds-barred clashes on the underground fighting scene.

Viewers have seen Ned (Ben Hall) head down the dangerous path to help release his pent-up anger after Scarlett Brady stabbed him at Halloween.

Next week, Ned seems to be heading in a more positive direction as he starts attending counselling sessions to address his anger issues. Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) also agrees to keep an eye on him while he's recovering.

Unfortunately, dodgy newcomer Kane puts Ned under pressure to return to fighting. When Ned turns up for his latest grudge match, he's shocked to find Bea waiting in the ring for him, hoping this will shock him into changing his ways.

Ned pulls Bea out of the ring and later agrees that it's time to give up his hobby for good. This is partly thanks to a heart-to-heart with Yashvi, which sees Ned open up about his fighting problem and reach an emotional breakthrough.

Kane and his ruthless friends still aren't prepared to let Ned go so easily. One member of the group even warns Ned that something terrible might happen to his family if he doesn't keep showing up.

Ned ends up sneaking out for another fight, believing it's the best way to keep his loved ones safe.

Yashvi stays one step ahead of Ned and urges him to take a stand, but her bold move arouses the attentions of the fighting racket.

Having crossed some formidable people, is Yashvi now in the firing line?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, December 2, Tuesday, December 3 and Wednesday, December 4 at 12.50pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Shane Rebecchi to struggle with jealousy over Dipi and Gary
Oh dear.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ary-storyline/

Neighbours' Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan) will struggle with his jealousy over Dipi and Gary's friendship in upcoming episodes.

Hot on the heels of the exit of their daughter Kirsha, who recently left Erinsborough to go to school in Sydney, tensions are starting to brew between Shane and Dipi (Sharon Johal), particularly after Shane starts to help his brother Toadie with the Lassiters lawsuit.

To recap: Kyle approached Toadie with a class action lawsuit against Lassiters in the wake of the hotel's sex tape scandal, which involved Kyle and his girlfriend Amy Williams.

But when Kyle decides to step down from the lawsuit to support Amy, Toadie takes on Shane to help manage the workload and Dipi becomes upset that her husband would be involved in something that could hurt Lassiters (and thus, Harold's).

When her protests don't get through to Shane, Dipi is left feeling a rift develop between her and her husband and she seeks solace in her friendship with Gary, who's just been left by Prue.

Gary sympathises with Dipi's plight and the pair begin to spend more time together. However, tensions begin to surface when Shane tries to find Dipi to apologise only to realise she is with Gary instead.

Awkward.

Things only get worse when Dipi later takes on a one-off shift at the Tram where she spends more time with Gary, and Shane begins to resent their closeness.

But, after receiving some prompting from Toadie, Shane decides it's time to cause some chaos in Gary and Dipi's blossoming friendship.

So, how far will he go?
