    Neighbours' Karl Kennedy hides a health scare from his wife Susan.

    He confides in David at the hospital next week.


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...-health-scare/

    Neighbours has revealed a first look at Karl Kennedy's worrying new health scare.

    The Ramsay Street favourite is diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) next week after his involvement in an Erinsborough Hospital medical trial throws up a shocking discovery.

    An upcoming storyline sees Karl (Alan Fletcher) get busy by analysing the test results from the recent study.

    While scrutinising the work that's already been done, Karl realises that one of the participants' results may have been misinterpreted, with potentially dangerous consequences.

    Karl thinks that the results actually show evidence of a blood clot, which has gone undetected until now.

    When Karl anxiously sets out to discover the identity of the participant in question so he can let them know, he's shocked to discover that the results are actually his own!

    Karl soon brings David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) in on the secret and is told that he probably developed DVT when he flew out to London recently.

    The diagnosis is officially confirmed when David runs ultrasound and MRI tests, which show a clot in Karl's left thigh.

    Karl is put on blood thinners to help resolve the situation, but he struggles to share the news with his wife Susan (Jackie Woodburne) – not wanting her to worry about him.

    Unfortunately, when Karl later cuts himself while cooking at home, he's forced to come clean by admitting that he needs to get to the hospital ASAP. When Susan hears about the blood thinners and DVT, how will she feel about being kept in the dark?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, April 11 and Thursday, April 12 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Neighbours grief ahead for Susan Kennedy as she's told that Karl could die.

    Could we be losing a much-loved character?


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...arl-could-die/

    Neighbours favourite Susan Kennedy faces the terrible possibility of losing her husband Karl forever in emotional scenes next week.

    The Aussie soap has a huge fortnight lined up for the Kennedys, which begins when Susan gets lost in the bush with Kirsha Rebecchi during an Erinsborough High trip.

    Although Susan (Jackie Woodburne) later gets back to safety with Kirsha, her husband Karl isn't so lucky as he gets injured after taking it upon himself to look for her.

    Already in a fragile position with his health, Karl grows weak during the search and collapses to the ground after struggling to breathe.

    It turns out that Karl's deep vein thrombosis has progressed into a pulmonary embolism, and to make matters even worse, he's also broken his leg out in the bush.

    Karl's last hope of survival comes when Xanthe Canning (Lilly Van Der Meer) stumbles across him and resets his broken bone, allowing them to move to a clearing and get picked up by a rescue helicopter.

    After Karl is finally rushed to hospital by the emergency services, Susan anxiously waits for news on his condition.

    Susan's worry initially presents as anger, as she's furious that Karl made the reckless decision to go searching for her.

    However, when Susan is told by David Tanaka that Karl may not pull through, she's forced to think of a future without her husband.

    These brand new spoiler pictures show Susan clinging to Karl's jacket as she contemplates what her life would be like without him. Will she really lose Karl?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, May 15 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Digital Spy article:


    Neighbours' Karl Kennedy faces a huge decision as Rita explains everything.

    But it's Susan's feelings that could be the deciding factor.


    Neighbours reveals a new dilemma for Karl and Susan Kennedy next week as Rita Newland confesses her true intentions.

    When Rita (Lisa Kay) asks for a meeting with the Kennedys, they're both very intrigued over why she wants Susan to be there alongside Karl.

    All becomes clear when Rita explains that she wants Karl (Alan Fletcher) to support her instigating a series of MS treatment trials at the Erinsborough Hospital.

    Not only would this have the potential to massively boost the profits and reputation of Rita's company if everything goes well, the treatment could change lives for the better – including Susan's.

    After taking some time to consider the dilemma, Karl decides that he can't be part of Rita's plans, as he's already decided to cut back on his work commitments while he recovers from his recent health scare.

    Karl also resents the fact that Rita hid her real motivations for so long and seemingly tried to use Susan's MS as emotional blackmail.

    Despite all of this, a very intrigued Susan (Jackie Woodburne) can't help researching the MS trials herself behind Karl's back.

    A few days later, Susan finally bites the bullet by telling Karl that she wants to be involved in Rita's trial.

    Karl loyally promises to support his wife, which means him going back to work – but the biggest obstacle afterwards is explaining everything to Clive Gibbons.

    Wary of Rita's motivations and the trial's legitimacy, Clive warns the Kennedys that he won't support their motion.

    Karl is left with no choice but to go up against his friend, but how will he manage it and who'll come out on top?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, May 28 and Friday, June 1 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Neighbours plans a long-lost family storyline for Karl Kennedy
    The doc becomes intrigued about his relatives next week.


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...g-lost-family/

    Neighbours paves the way for Karl Kennedy to meet a long-lost family member next week.

    The Erinsborough doctor vows to research his family tree after drawing inspiration from the renewed connection between Elly Conway and Bea Nilsson.

    Karl (Alan Fletcher) confides in his loved ones about how there's an unknown branch of his family that he knows very little about.

    As Karl recalls how he only ever briefly met his biological father Ronald Davies-Smythe, who's since passed away, he explains that he could have long-lost siblings out there somewhere.

    With support from his wife Susan, an excited Karl decides to check out an ancestry website and ends up with various leads that are worth following up on.

    Karl is so committed to the idea that he even sends in his own "Ancestry DNA kit" to the website, wanting to make as many connections as he can.

    Although we can't reveal the exact details just yet, Neighbours' most die-hard fans will already know that this story appears to be paving the way for a surprise arrival in a few weeks' time.

    Show bosses recently announced the casting of a character with a very familiar-sounding surname – Jemima Davies-Smythe.

    Played by Australian actress and LGBTQ+ rights activist Magda Szubanski, newcomer Jemima will be the celebrant at David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan's upcoming wedding.

    The show has already teased that Jemima has a connection to "Ramsay Street royalty", so it seems like she'll have a surprise in store for Karl upon her arrival.

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, August 22 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Digital Spy article:

    Neighbours' Karl Kennedy is left crushed by a message from his long-lost sister
    But there could be a light at the end of the tunnel…


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...g-lost-sister/

    Neighbours favourite Karl Kennedy gets upset next week after being rejected by his long-lost sister.

    An intriguing new storyline on the Aussie soap will see Karl (Alan Fletcher) become inspired to research a branch of his family that he knows very little about.

    As we've previously revealed, Karl recalls how he only ever briefly met his biological father Ronald Davies-Smythe, who's since passed away. This means that Karl could have siblings out there somewhere, just waiting to be found.

    Karl becomes so fixated on the possibility that he uses the internet to research his family tree and also sends off his own "Ancestry DNA kit" to a website for further investigation.

    Next week, Karl is delighted when his DNA results come back and inform him of a close family match.

    He later admits that he's heard back from his biological sister Jemima, but her message was so abrupt that it seems she's not keen to connect.

    Although Karl can't help feeling disappointed by the outcome of his detective work, his wife Susan (Jackie Woodburne) looks to the bright side by pointing out that biology isn't everything.

    When Karl refuses to let it go, Susan agrees that they should go to seek out Jemima in person, hoping for a better response.

    The popular couple head off to Echuca but arrive at an abandoned house, which seems to be another dead end. But fortunately, it seems that Karl could still be coming face-to-face with Jemima sooner than expected.

    Show bosses have previously announced the casting of Australian actress and LGBTQ+ rights activist Magda Szubanski as Jemima Davies-Smythe, who arrives as the celebrant at David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan's upcoming wedding.

    So, surely she'll get a chance to speak to Karl while she's in the area? Watch this space...

    Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Neighbours feud ahead as Susan Kennedy clashes with Karl's long-lost sister
    Will Jemima bring trouble to Ramsay Street?


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...s-smythe-feud/

    Neighbours legend Susan Kennedy clashes with her husband Karl's long-lost sister next week.

    Susan (Jackie Woodburne) fails to hit it off with show newcomer Jemima Davies-Smythe, who arrives in Erinsborough as a replacement celebrant for David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan's wedding.

    Although Susan had originally been lined up to oversee the ceremony, she cancels at the last minute to accompany Karl (Alan Fletcher) on a trip to find Jemima.

    When the search is fruitless, Susan returns to Erinsborough ready to carry out her duties after all – only to discover that Jemima has already been recruited as her replacement and she isn't needed anymore.

    Wanting Susan to still be involved in some way, Aaron (Matt Wilson) and David (Takaya Honda) hand Jemima the speech that she'd written specially for the occasion.

    Unfortunately, Jemima can't resist a little mischief by putting her own spin on the speech and turning it into a terrible poem – much to the amusement of the guests and the outrage of Susan.

    Once everyone discovers that Jemima is Karl's half-sister, Susan is deeply suspicious of her motives for being in Erinsborough.

    Jemima has only just sent Karl a message hinting that she doesn't want to connect, so Susan can't understand her sudden change of heart.

    Despite Susan's fears that something doesn't add up, Karl is far more welcoming and even invites Jemima to stay at the Kennedy house for a while when he learns that she's between homes.

    Putting aside his usual cheapskate tendencies, Karl even agrees to fund a long list of repairs to Jemima's car to get her back on her feet again.

    As Susan worries that Jemima is a freeloader who's out for every penny she can get, could we have a new Ramsay Street scam artist on our hands?

    Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: "Jemima Davies-Smythe is played by the wonderful Magda Szubanski. She first appears as a surprise celebrant at David and Aaron's wedding and is revealed to have a connection to the Kennedy family.

    "Jemima has a very unique approach to relationships which creates a fair bit of conflict, not to mention laughs. Her dynamic with Susan is priceless."

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, September 3 and Tuesday, September 4 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Neighbours shake-up sees Susan Kennedy replaced as principal of Erinsborough High
    Her successor is an old favourite.


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...sborough-high/

    Note: This article contains spoilers about the 'Who Pushed Finn?' storyline, which some readers may prefer to avoid.

    Neighbours legend Susan Kennedy will be forced to step away from Erinsborough High next week as her reputation is left in tatters.

    A new storyline sees Susan (Jackie Woodburne) shock everyone when she confesses that she was responsible for pushing Finn Kelly off a cliff, which leaves her facing an uncertain future.

    After Susan is charged with attempted murder and released on bail, her thoughts turn to the school and making sure it'll be taken care of.

    Susan invites her niece Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) to take over as principal until she knows what she's facing, but she's left deflated when the education department step in with their own plans.

    After suspending Susan indefinitely, the big bosses rule out the possibility of Elly taking over and decide to find their own replacement.

    Later in the week, Elly arrives late at school and makes a terrible impression on her new boss Jane Harris (Annie Jones), who's just returned to the area.

    Kicking herself for messing up, Elly tries to redeem herself in Jane's eyes and gets on board with her new direction for the school, which includes an increased focus on student support and excellence.

    However, when Jane also announces that the school's dress code needs to change, Elly is mortified to realise that she's referring to her "unprofessional" work outfits.

    With Jane clearly meaning business, can she and Elly find a way to work together?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, November 27 and Wednesday, November 28 at 12.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

    Digital Spy article regarding a new Neighbours set. Alan Fletcher (Karl) is involved in the 'unveiling' video so I put it in this thread:


    Neighbours star Alan Fletcher reveals a first look at exciting new tram set
    What do you think?


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...look-tram-set/

    Neighbours star Alan Fletcher has revealed a first look at an exciting, new Erinsborough set.

    The actor, who plays doctor Karl Kennedy in the Aussie soap, went behind-the-scenes to give a sneak peak at an upcoming development, which features a tram.

    Alan went on to reveal that the tram would be permanently welded down for a quirky new set, rather than using it as actual working transport.

    He also hinted that the the new story could involve a returning character, but was staying tight-lipped as to who it might be.

    He said: "I have got some fantastic ideas for storylines for this. One storyline would definitely involve bringing back a character from the past. Who could it be... ?

    "We are just getting the tram into position now – I can't wait to see it in its full glory, completely dressed down as our new set."

    While fans will have to wait and see which character Alan is referring to, Neighbours have confirmed today (November 30) that Jim Robinson will return to the soap during its Christmas Day episode.

    Alan Dale has reprised his role for one final stint, but sadly (but not wholly surprisingly) his comeback as the Robinson patriarch will be in a dream or ghostly flashback sequence.

    Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
