Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours fans will see a new character introduced to the Rodwell household next month.

James Beaufort has been cast in the role of Andrew's brother Felix, who'll make his first appearance on the show in early March.

Newly-released spoiler pictures show Felix receiving warm greetings from Andrew, Wendy and Sadie Rodwell.

It's not long before Felix appears to have made himself at home at Number 26, hinting at a close relationship between the family.

Further on down the line, he'll also be sharing scenes with the Rodwells' teenage neighbour JJ Varga-Murphy.

Neighbours' official synopsis for Felix's first episode on Wednesday, March 6 reads: "The Rodwell house expands as three become four."

The next episode on Thursday, March 7 adds: "Felix is confronted by a terrifying possibility."

Show bosses have also teased Felix's potential connection to JJ. The teaser billing for Wednesday, March 13 says: "Felix is drawn to JJ, despite his best efforts."

Thursday, March 14's billing adds: "JJ draws on Felix's advice. Felix makes a fateful decision.

Further details on Felix's character will be revealed nearer the time, as Neighbours generally releases fuller synopses for each episode a week before broadcast.

These early clues raise the possibility that the mystery of JJ's father could be revisited in upcoming scenes.

When JJ moved to Erinsborough with his family in September, he was determined to track down his biological father and investigated the possibility that it was Andrew.

A DNA test later confirmed that this wasn't the case, but Andrew still seemed to be holding something back from the rest of his family.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

probably jjs father

Definitely hinting it could turn out that way.

BUT - wouldnt the DNA test pick up something?? If FELIX is related to ANDREW wouldnt that have shown up in relation to JJ??? Siblings would show a percentage of matching DNA ??

Neighbours lines up new twist over JJ Varga-Murphy's father
Has Andrew figured it out?

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours revisits the mystery over JJ Varga-Murphy's biological father next week.

Andrew Rodwell shares a new theory as he prepares to welcome his brother Felix to Erinsborough.

In upcoming scenes, Andrew learns that his jailed sibling Felix is due for parole.

Felix needs to prove that he'd be heading into a stable environment upon his release from prison, so he wants to stay with Andrew, Wendy and Sadie on Ramsay Street.

Wendy is supportive over the idea, but Andrew soon admits his own mixed feelings over the situation.

Andrew is worried that Felix might have once donated his sperm to Philippa, which could make him JJ's biological father.

Wendy encourages Andrew to ask Felix outright before welcoming him into their home.

At the prison, Felix clarifies that he didn't donate any of his sperm to anyone.

Accepting this, Andrew agrees to let Felix stay if his parole application is successful ? but is he bringing trouble to the neighbourhood?

Neighbours announced last week that James Beaufort has landed the role of Felix.

Spoiler pictures released at the time showed Felix sharing scenes with JJ, which could mean that they have a connection after all.

In a recent post on Instagram, Neighbours teased: "There's a new Rodwell coming to town! James Beaufort will soon rock up on Ramsay Street as Andrew's younger brother, Felix. And let's just say... he couldn't be MORE different to sensible Sergeant Andrew?"

Neighbours airs Felix's first scenes on Monday, February 26.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

If FELIX and JJAY are related well someone messed up the DNA tests. Siblings have a percentage of matching DNA. It would have shown the ANDREW & JJAY connection?..

Neighbours airs major revelation over JJ Varga-Murphy's father
A new storyline twist begins.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...felix-rodwell/

Neighbours spoilers follow from Monday's episode, which is streaming now on Amazon Freevee.

Neighbours has revealed that show newcomer Felix Rodwell could be JJ Varga-Murphy's father.

The storyline twist aired in Monday's episode (February 26) as Felix was seen lying to his brother Andrew about the past.

James Beaufort has been cast in the role of Felix, who's a new guest character for the soap.

Felix is currently in jail and has reached out to Andrew for support with his parole application, needing a stable place to stay if he gets released.

Andrew was interested in helping his sibling, but he feared the potential consequences for the rest of Ramsay Street as he suspected that Felix could be JJ's father.

Neighbours fans know that Cara Varga-Murphy's friend Phillipa Wade was once looking for a sperm sample as she hoped to get pregnant. Phillipa later secured a sample but handed it over to Cara, who was hoping to start a family with her wife Remi.

Cara used this sample as well as one from an American donor, creating uncertainty over who JJ's father might be.

In Monday's episode, Andrew visited Felix in prison and quizzed him over his past connection to Phillipa.

After hearing about Andrew's theory ? and that he's now living on the same street as the Varga-Murphys ? Felix firmly denied ever providing a sperm sample to Phillipa.

This proved to be a major relief for Andrew, who realised that he could support Felix's release without having to worry about drama for the wider community.

Later, a surprise cliffhanger showed Felix clutching a letter in prison which Phillipa had once sent to him. This contained the missing pages from Phillipa's diary.

The diary entries confirmed that Phillipa did indeed receive a sample from Felix before giving it to Cara after having second thoughts about her own plans.

Recalling the events of a fateful party that Felix and Phillipa both attended, one page read: "But the best thing that happened was Felix Rodwell. He came up to me late in the night and said he'd be happy to give me his sperm. I am so freaking happy.

"Yes, he's a lot younger than Andrew (my first choice) but who cares? Sperm is sperm. My baby dream is alive and well. So now I have a donor, time to sober up and get super healthy."

A subsequent entry from May 2007 read: "So? major regrets. I kinda feel terrible about not coming clean to Cara about where that sperm came from.

"After the whole drama of Andrew giving me his then taking it back. I mean, who does that really? Using Felix's sperm just felt a bit weird. But I didn't want to waste it and Cara was so desperate."

Neighbours fans will see this new storyline continue in the coming weeks as Felix moves to Ramsay Street and struggles to resist the chance to get to know JJ.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

If FELIX is JJAYs sperm daddy, writers are going to have to work over time with explaining the negative DNA test as siblings share matching DNA.

On another note, how good is the resemblance with FELIX and JJAY? Are these guys actually related in real life ?

They subtlety addressed this in yesterday's episode. When Andrew was talking to Wendy about Felix, he mentioned that he (ie Andrew) was actually adopted, which I don't believe has been mentioned before. So, therefore there is no blood/DNA connection between Andrew & Felix.

Yes, a great bit of casting with Felix & JJ, resemblance wise (assuming now they are biological Father & Son). As soon as it was announced that James/Felix was joining the cast & pictures emerged, I think the likeness was noticed by most people (& the theory he was JJ's father started straight away).
