Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly)

[Bossy7]

Would be great to have CHLOE back full time though her SL will need ELLY. After everything, for CHELLY to breakup now wouldnt make sense !
The dynamic between PAUL & CHLOE is great. Her character has left a large void.

Neighbours' Chloe Brennan to share her secret ahead of Elly Conway return
Just what is it she's hiding?

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

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours is going to reveal what Chloe Brennan's big secret is next week.

Viewers know from spoilers for this week's episodes and comments from April Rose Pengilly that the character is keeping something pretty big close to her chest. In scenes set to air on November 11, Chloe finally breaks and reveals the truth after Nicolette Stone piles the pressure on.

Following the revelation, Nicolette shows her support but soon realises that Chloe is thinking of taking a job at Lassiters, but she isn't planning on telling partner Elly Conway about it as she doesn't want to be a burden.

Nicolette disagrees with that and at first she decides that she's going to take matters into her own hands and tell Elly herself. Later, she backtracks on that decision and pushes Chloe to do it instead.

With Elly's return to Erinsborough on the horizon, Chloe prepares herself for the confrontation. What exactly is Chloe's secret, and how will Elly react?

Pengilly is only signed for a brief stint on the revived soap, but has stated that she'd love to be back permanently, as long as things line up.

"It's very exciting being back. I'm loving seeing everyone again. We are a big family here. I would love to come back full-time, but we'll have to see if schedules and other projects permit. And if there's room for Chloe on Ramsay Street, there's a lot of new faces here, so we'll have to wait and see.

"Everyone's just so happy that we're all back here, and we get to keep making this amazing show that you guys love."

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.

Neighbours star April Rose Pengilly announces engagement
"Everything has been so beautiful and perfect."

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ged-adam-paul/

Congratulations are in order for Neighbours actress April Rose Pengilly, who has announced her engagement to partner Adam Paul.

The Chloe Brennan actress and her other half have been dating since early 2022, and in a series of photos shared to their Instagram pages, it's been revealed that he got down on one knee and popped the question while out on the water in Sydney.

As well as showing off the proposal and engagement ring in multiple front-and-centre snaps, the photos also reveal that the engagement was a family get-together, with April's father Kirk (famous for being a member of INXS) just one of the loved ones in attendance.

The actress kept her caption brief, simply using an infinity loop emoji, but on her Instagram Stories she wrote "Excuse my cry eyes" on one photo and wrote in another that she had been "crying so much" because "everything has been so beautiful and perfect", adding that she feels like the "luckiest girl in the world" and called Adam her "forever".

In further Stories, she revealed that her dad had bought a bottle of Krug champagne when she was born and had been saving it for this moment. She called the video of the proposal "the happiest moment", adding that it went so quickly, she wants to rewind time and experience it again.

April's Neighbours character Chloe is currently on our screens as part of a temporary return, and the actress revealed last month that she'd be open to a permanent stint on the soap again if scheduling allowed.

Considering she's now got a wedding to plan, we think she might be a bit busy.

Neighbours reveals first look at Chloe Brennan and Elly Conway's wedding
It's a fairy-tale ceremony.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-elly-wedding/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has shared romantic scenes of Chloe Brennan and Elly Conway tying the knot.

The popular pair exchange their wedding vows in the episode airing on Thursday, December 28, which completes the show's big Christmas week.

Neighbours will be airing throughout the festive period this year, including an episode on Christmas Day, for the first time since 2019.

Viewers have just seen an emotional week for Chloe and Elly, following the revelation that Chloe is experiencing the symptoms of Huntington's disease.

Chloe questioned her future with Elly amid her health concerns, wondering whether it was fair to expect Elly to look after her in the future.

Although Elly was adamant that she wouldn't abandon her relationship, Chloe urged her to take some time to think before making such a major commitment.

Following heart-to-hearts with her aunt Susan Kennedy, then friend Nicolette Stone, Elly shared her final decision and proposed to Chloe ? making it clear that this was the only way it was ever going to go.

The upcoming wedding scenes see Elly's daughter Aster (now played by Amelia Gavin) return for the occasion and play a key role as a flower girl at the ceremony.

Chloe and Elly walk down the aisle arm-in-arm in matching white wedding outfits.

Susan is on celebrant duties and couldn't be prouder as she oversees the ceremony.

April Rose Pengilly and Jodi Gordon, who play Chloe and Elly, have both returned to Neighbours for guest stints.

They first reappeared in the show's Flashback Week last month and were subsequently reintroduced in scenes set in the present day.

Neighbours releases this episode on Thursday, December 28 at 7am on Amazon Freevee.

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.

Neighbours spoilers: Elly and Chloe get their happily ever after
Love match.

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...-wedding-79562

Beautifully dressed in matching white pantsuits, Chloe and Elly finally make it down the aisle in Neighbours, where they vow to love each other forever.

With Chloe's (April Rose Pengilly) symptoms becoming more acute ? she has Huntington's disease, which causes the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain ? there's no-one she wants more by her side to support her than Elly (Jodi Gordon).

But as Ellie readies for the big day, she learns something shocking: grandma Liz has been leaving her six-year-old daughter, Aster (Amelia Gavin), at home alone for hours when she's meant to be babysitting her.

A furious Ellie promptly uninvites her from the wedding.

"To have that level of trust broken is devastating," Jodi, 38, tells TV WEEK. "It impacts the wedding too."

Now, however, Aster is left without a babysitter, meaning the honeymoon is off unless someone can help out.

"Elly will forgive her mum one day, when she shows her and Aster she's doing something about her behaviour," Jodi says. "But at this point, she's firm about her decision."

Elsewhere in Erinsborough, as bride-to-be Chloe gets ready with Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou), the reality of her illness sinks in when, because her symptoms have become more severe, she can't walk in her wedding heels.

"The wedding was about celebrating authentic love and partnership and what it has taken to get to this point," Jodi says. "At the end of the day, the girls come together and meet each other on that level and footwear becomes irrelevant."

With Chloe devastated she can't look the way she wants to, Elly makes a romantic gesture to lessen her partner's disappointment. In doing so, it proves she will love her in sickness and in health, and ends the magical day on a high.

Is APRIL coming back or not???

Its going to be ridiculous if she doesnt come back for this SL. It simply would not make any sense for her not to be here for AARON or for the funeral.

Writers executed a perfect exit for DAVID the momentum needs to keep going .

Someone posted over the weekend that April has confirmed that she/Chloe would not be returning for the funeral. I believe the main reason for this is the continued absence of Susan (Jackie Woodburne). When the show returned, Jackie had a lengthy holiday already planned & booked (to the UK?), which they had to work around storyline wise. So, Susan went off to Sydney to mind Ellie's daughter while she & Chloe went overseas on their honeymoon. And as Karl mentioned recently, she will now be away for a couple more months as she found some course she wants to do while in Sydney. Chloe cannot come back to Erinsborough at the moment then as it would mean that Susan would have no real reason not to come back as well, which she can't of course because she was away when the funeral was filmed. So, probably either they won't mention why they are not back for the funeral, or they might say something like Chloe (& Ellie) haven't been told about David's death & funeral because they didn't want to spoil their honeymoon etc?? (& I don't think they could say that even if Chloe & Ellie had returned, that Susan stayed in Sydney to mind Aster, so they could go to the funeral). All very convoluted, & probably holes in whatever reason they give for their absence, so we will see what reason, if any, they give...

[Bossy7]

Thanks for that update! Cant believe APRIL will be a no show?.

Definite holes in these SLs. Such a shame. Whatever reason they give for the absence will not be good enough. Takes away from DAVIDs exit. Writers should have waited until all cast were available for this SL.
