    Neighbours reveals a secret about newcomer Rafael as former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas strips off.

    Could these scars be why he's out for revenge?


    Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas is stripping off to reveal a brand new Neighbours mystery in this first look at his Aussie soap debut.

    The actor has been cast in the role of mysterious newcomer Rafael Humphreys, who makes his first appearance in a special late-night episode next month.

    These brand new pictures from the 10pm special show Rafael taking off his shirt to reveal some nasty scars on his back.

    Not surprisingly, Neighbours bosses are keeping very tight-lipped about what caused his injuries – but could this be the reason that Rafael is coming to Ramsay Street in the first place?

    Show chiefs have revealed that Rafael is an English tourist who comes to Erinsborough because he has a score to settle.

    Although revenge is his main motivation at first, Rafael gets an unexpected distraction when he begins to fall for one of the Street's residents. Could this cause his plans to falter?

    Ryan is best known for playing Jason Grimshaw on Corrie between 2000 and 2016.

    His role as Rafael is a guest part, but he'll be on screen for several weeks – with plenty of twists and turns in store along the way.

    Neighbours' hour-long special will also feature the return of schemer Izzy Hoyland, as well as several of Toadie Rebecchi's old friends for his very belated 21st birthday party.

    Neighbours airs its big episode on Monday, February 12 at 10pm on Channel 5.

    Neighbours kicks off a possible romance storyline for newcomer Rafael Humphreys today (February 21) as he gets to know David Tanaka at The Waterhole.

    Rafael finally takes a break from plotting against Paul Robinson to spend some time with David – completely unaware that the sweet-natured doctor is his arch-enemy's son.

    It all begins when David's siblings Leo and Amy notice a possible chemistry between him and Rafael, quickly encouraging him to take it further.

    Although Rafael doesn't respond too well to David's early approach, he later loosens up when persistent David tries again.

    After working a shift at The Waterhole, Rafael enjoys an impromptu date with David, although he's still careful not to give too much away about his past.

    Just when things seem to be going well, Rafael is horrified to learn David's true identity as Sheila Canning fills him in on his connection to Paul.

    As a rattled Rafael makes a hasty exit, David is baffled and left wondering what he said to offend the mysterious newcomer.

    It won't be the last time the pair cross paths, so does this mean that Rafael can look past David's family connections? Or could he even use David as a pawn in his plans against Paul? All will be revealed!

    Speaking about Rafael's on-screen relationship, Ryan Thomas – who plays him – recently told us: "The character is very deep and very troubled. He's an emotional rollercoaster of a character, so I think he's caught off guard with any relationship. Rafael has never really had a relationship, so he's not been in touch with his own feelings before. I don't think he's worked out who he is or what he is.

    "I think it's all caught him a little bit off guard and he's struggling to channel his feelings in the right way. I hope you'll see that with the stress that Rafael goes through with his emotions and his feelings towards another character in the show."

    Neighbours' Rafael Humphreys gets caught out after nearly killing Leo Tanaka.

    Mishti demands answers down at the police station.


    http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...ys-caught-out/

    Neighbours schemer Raael Humphreys faces a police quiz next week, as Mishti Sharma realises that he's to blame for nearly getting Leo Tanaka killed.

    As we've previously revealed, Rafael (Ryan Thomas) is about to team up with Sue Parker and her son Jayden as they try to bring down Paul Robinson once and for all.

    Targeting the Robinson Heights building site, the scheming trio arrange for an "accident" that will destroy Paul's reputation.

    Although they don't intend for anyone to get hurt, their antics lead to a concrete slab falling on Leo in dramatic scenes.

    Next week's episodes see Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) realise that Rafael may have something to hide when he gets suspicious over the British tourist's shifty behaviour.

    Worried that David Tanaka is being played for a fool by Rafael, a protective Aaron searches through the newcomer's belongings at the backpackers.

    When Aaron finds Sue's business card, he demands to know why Rafael would be in contact with a woman who's known for hating Paul.

    Rafael tries to flee rather than explain himself, but when Aaron gives chase, he grabs hold of Raf's t-shirt and accidentally exposes his terrible scarring.

    With another clue to Rafael's troubled past, Aaron then shares his suspicions with Mishti, who soon puts two and two together and realises who's to blame for what happened to Leo.

    As Mishti extracts full confessions from Rafael, Jayden and Sue, it's a troubling time for Paul and his family as they find out about his supposed involvement in the fire that killed Raf's mother.

    Can Paul find a way to clear his name? And what does the future hold for Rafael?

    Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, March 21 and Thursday, March 22 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

    Neighbours airs Ryan Thomas’s final scenes next week.

    Raf makes an emotional exit from Erinsborough.


    http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2018-...nes-next-week/

    Neighbours’ Rafael Humphries departs Erinsborough next week, marking the end of ex-Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas’s guest stint.

    Raf came to Ramsay Street seeking revenge on Paul Robinson, believing he was responsible for the fire that killed his mother many years earlier in Brazil when the bad boy businessman was based there.

    After weeks of secret sabotage, and a blossoming romance with Mr Robinson’s son David Tanaka, his vendetta was revealed but it turns out Paul is innocent of the crime and Raf has targeted the wrong man.

    Next week, David presents his boyfriend with the evidence exonerating Paul, but instead of a sense of closure Rafael explains he is still on a mission to get justice for his mum from whoever was to blame. Announcing he’s returning to the UK to help police continue their search for Dakota Davies, Paul’s associate from Brazil who holds the key to the mystery, Raf breaks David’s heart as he bids farewell.

    Telling Mr Tanaka to go after ex-lover Aaron Brennan, Raf leaves town as reflective David considers whether there could be hope for him and his old flame after all…

    Neighbours airs Rafael’s exit on Monday 2 April at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5
