    Neighbours reveals who knocks over David Tanaka in hit-and-run horror
    An unlikely culprit causes the accident.


    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...nd-run-driver/

    Neighbours has revealed who's responsible for David Tanaka's shocking hit-and-run crash next week.

    A new trailer shows David's loved ones anxiously waiting for news after he's knocked over while out on a bike ride at night.

    Official spoilers released by the show have now confirmed that Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) will be responsible for David's ordeal after he accidentally falls asleep at the wheel.

    The dramatic storyline begins when David (Takaya Honda) falls out with his husband Aaron Brennan, unhappy that he has been keeping the secret of Ned Willis's involvement in a dodgy fight club.

    David goes on a late-night bike ride to clear his head, but finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as a car drives straight for him and mows him down.

    Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is an early suspect in the case, as she is first on the scene after David's accident.

    Her husband Paul Robinson – David's father – questions what she was doing driving so late at night. Terese is forced to admit that she had been drinking and drove off to buy more alcohol.

    However, just when it looks like Terese is in big trouble, Kyle stumbles across a broken headlight cover on his car.

    When Amy quizzes him on this, Kyle confesses that he nodded off at the wheel the night before.

    A paint chip from the car soon matches with the one on David's bicycle, confirming Kyle's guilt in the case. He immediately turns himself in to the police, ready to face the music.

    Paul is furious when he finds out what Kyle has done, especially as David's condition in the hospital has been touch and go. In the rush to save David, he has lost one of his kidneys and he's still not out of the woods yet.

    Before Paul can confront Kyle, David's health takes another turn for the worse. Will he pull through?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, November 27, Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

    Neighbours lines up kidney transplant plot for David Tanaka
    But will he find a donor in time?


    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ey-transplant/

    Neighbours doctor David Tanaka will require a kidney donor in the aftermath of his upcoming hit-and-run accident.

    Show bosses have revealed that David (Takaya Honda) will be knocked over in the road this week, leaving his life hanging in the balance.

    The upcoming scenes see David rushed to hospital, where one of his kidneys is removed as part of the efforts to save his life.

    However, brand new spoilers have revealed that even more drama follows afterwards, as David and his loved ones learn that his remaining kidney is failing.

    David desperately needs to find a donor kidney, but initial searches find no viable match in his family. Harlow Robinson is too young to donate, while Terese Willis's alcoholism rules her out.

    Meanwhile, Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) struggles to deal with his guilt after realising that he was responsible for David's accident.

    Show bosses have confirmed that Kyle confesses to the police after realising that he nodded off at the wheel, hit David and drove away without realising what had happened.

    Kyle desperately searches for ways to make amends with David and his husband Aaron Brennan, but it's much easier said than done.

    Sheila Canning is concerned for her grandson's state of mind, hoping to find a way to distract Kyle from his guilt.

    In the end, Toadie Rebecchi suggests a bike ride to Kyle, wanting to keep him occupied.

    Sadly, this only triggers Kyle's memory of the moment that he hit David, who was riding his bike at the time of the accident. Will Kyle ever be able to forgive himself after the horrifying turn of events?

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

    Neighbours star Takaya Honda reveals life-or-death Christmas plot for David Tanaka
    Will he survive?


    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...hristmas-plot/

    Neighbours star Takaya Honda has revealed that David Tanaka will be among the characters taking centre stage at Christmas this year.

    Viewers will see David's future remain uncertain over the coming weeks, as he's told that he needs a kidney transplant in the aftermath of his hit and run incident.

    After being knocked over while riding his bike one evening, David is rushed to hospital and one of his kidneys is removed as part of the efforts to save him.

    David is later told that his remaining kidney is failing, which means that a donor needs to be found as soon as possible.

    Confirming that this plot will run all the way until Christmas, Takaya told Inside Soap: "The whole family's Christmas wish this year is that David survives.

    "His condition is serious, and his loved ones spend a long time not knowing whether he'll make it or not. It's a big rollercoaster of emotions – but David is trying to remain positive."

    Asked about the possibility of a long-lost relative being a match for David, Takaya replied: "I reckon that he'll take what he can get right now! David is very open-minded and forgiving, and willing to give people second chances.

    "So if someone is willing to provide him with a kidney, that's a sign that there must be something good in them."

    Meanwhile, Takaya already has a suggestion on what could be ahead for David and his husband Aaron in 2020 if he makes it through his ordeal.

    He said: "A baby storyline of some kind is what the audience is begging for – and we as actors are really keen for that too. There are so many different avenues to explore, like surrogacy or fostering – or maybe someone could just leave a baby on the doorstep for them!"

    Neighbours airs weekdays at 12.50pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

    Neighbours' Leo Tanaka to make return after David's accident
    He's determined to help his twin.


    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...tanaka-return/

    Neighbours has confirmed that Leo Tanaka will be returning to Erinsborough next month.

    Tim Kano has reprised his role as Leo for a short guest stint, just two months after bowing out as a show regular.

    Leo reappears following the big news that his twin brother David (Takaya Honda) needs a kidney transplant.

    David had one of his kidneys removed after his hit-and-run crash this week. His health remains a cause for concern in the coming days when his other kidney starts to fail.

    Leo is eager to get tested in the hope that he'll be able to help David. His loved ones are delighted to see him, although Paul feels slightly uneasy after Leo's abrupt departure.

    Meanwhile, Leo's sister Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) is keen to hear details on how her son Jimmy is getting along in New York. Leo explains that Jimmy is fine, but it's clear that there's something he's holding back.

    Later in the week, Leo is crushed to hear that he's not a viable donor for David.

    As the family starts to consider other options, Leo is distracted by suspicious calls from Jimmy's father Liam Barnett. Mysteriously, Liam is putting pressure on Leo as he wants Amy to avoid all contact with her son at the moment.

    When Kyle Canning coincidentally suggests bringing Jimmy over from New York for a visit, Leo is forced to be honest and reveal that there's something he has been hiding about Jimmy. What is it?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, December 11, Thursday, December 12 and Friday, December 13 at 12.50pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

    Neighbours' David Tanaka blames himself for Finn Kelly's deadly revenge
    Aaron tries to support his stressed-out husband.


    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ka-finn-kelly/

    Neighbours fans will see David Tanaka blame himself next week in the aftermath of Finn Kelly turning evil again.

    David (Takaya Honda) is left doubting his own abilities as a doctor as Ramsay Street goes into shock over Finn's actions on Pierce Greyson's island.

    Neighbours' 35th anniversary episodes this week see Finn take revenge during Elly Conway's birthday celebrations on the island, endangering the lives of everyone in attendance.

    Next week, word comes back to Ramsay Street over what happened – including the fact that not everyone survived.

    Other Ramsay Street residents still have their lives hanging in the balance – including Harlow Robinson, who is put into an induced coma.

    As David worked closely with Finn after the Ramsay Street villain was diagnosed with amnesia, he blames himself for not realising that Finn's memories had returned.

    David also berates himself for not noticing the change in Finn's state of mind when he was plotting his revenge.

    David's husband Aaron tries his best to support him, urging him to see that none of what happened is his fault.

    Unfortunately, the situation is stirred up further when Ned Willis voices a bizarre theory that Finn was lying about his amnesia the whole time.

    Ned reminds everyone that he never trusted Finn from the start, but his unhelpful words leave David feeling even worse – wondering whether Finn was playing him for a fool the whole time.

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, March 26 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

    Neighbours' David Tanaka left devastated as he's blamed for Finn Kelly's rampage
    A fellow doctor holds him responsible.


    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ly-devastated/

    Neighbours doctor David Tanaka hits rock bottom next week as he continues to blame himself for Finn Kelly's return to the dark side.

    As we've previously revealed, David (Takaya Honda) will feel shocked and guilty after hearing the news of Finn's evil behaviour.

    When word reaches Ramsay Street that Finn has claimed the lives of Prue Wallace and Gary Canning, David berates himself for not spotting that the "reformed" villain had his memories back.

    Next week, David is asked to return to work on light duties, but his husband Aaron (Matt Wilson) fears that he might not be ready for it as he's feeling so guilty.

    David heads back to the hospital, but his self-confidence hits an all-time low when a colleague also holds him responsible for Finn's actions.

    As David struggles to cope, the bigger question is whether this could affect his abilities as a doctor moving forward.

    Later in the week, David starts to worry that he'll never be able to trust himself as a doctor again.

    David worked closely with Finn after the criminal suffered amnesia and now believes that he badly mishandled the situation.

    Fortunately, Mark is sympathetic towards his brother-in-law and offers to show him Finn's video diaries, which he recorded before heading to Pierce Greyson's island.

    Mark thinks that the footage could help David to better understand what went wrong. Could this make a difference for David?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, March 31 and Wednesday, April 1 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

    Digital Spy article. Tim Kano (Leo) has been filming a new guest stint:


    Neighbours return for Leo Tanaka confirmed as Tim Kano reprises the role again
    He's back on set filming a guest stint.

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...a-return-2021/

    Neighbours spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

    Neighbours bosses are bringing back Leo Tanaka, Digital Spy can confirm.

    Tim Kano has returned to set to film another guest stint as Leo, who was last seen at the start of 2020.

    Word of Tim's comeback leaked out this week when paparazzi photographers pictured him arriving on set with the rest of the Neighbours cast.

    A show spokesperson has now told Digital Spy: "We can confirm that Tim Kano is back and has been filming since mid-March in a recurring guest role."

    Storyline details for Leo's return to Erinsborough won't be revealed until nearer the time.

    Leo was a Neighbours regular from 2016 to 2019 and was introduced to Ramsay Street alongside his twin brother David (Takaya Honda).

    His memorable storylines included relationships with Mishti Sharma (Scarlet Vas), Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly) and Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou).

    Another particularly dramatic plot saw Leo's past connections with the dangerous Renshaw family come back to haunt him, leading to a siege in Erinsborough.

    In September 2019, Leo left Ramsay Street without saying goodbye to his loved ones, after admitting that he'd been helping his half-sister Elle Robinson to sabotage Paul and Terese's relationship.

    Leo returned in December that year following the big news that David needed a kidney transplant after a hit-and-run crash.

    Leo was keen to get himself tested, but was left disappointed when he learned that he wasn't a viable donor for David.

    He left Erinsborough once again on January 1, 2020.

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