Such a shame he dies, if true. Was hoping Shaun would be a permanent character.

Neighbours reveals more on Finn and Elly's shock death storyline
Both characters are left in mourning next week.

Neighbours has confirmed that Shaun Watkins will be officially declared dead next week.

Finn Kelly and Elly Conway will both be left devastated when they learn that authorities have lost hope for Shaun (Brad Moller) after he was caught up in an avalanche abroad.

As we revealed recently, disaster strikes for Shaun while he's away on a trip to Switzerland.

Shaun's loved ones initially hear that he's missing and they should await further updates. However, next week sees the story continue, with Finn (Rob Mills) taking a call to confirm that Shaun is officially considered dead

The tragedy brings Susan Kennedy back to Ramsay Street from London, wanting to support Elly as she processes the news about the father of her unborn baby.

Although Elly initially seems stoic, she soon disappears and fails to answer any calls.

When Finn gets an idea from David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan over where Elly might be, he races to find her – worried that she's in the last place she needs to be.

Later in the week, Bea starts to feel increasingly useless as Finn and Elly both rely on each other for support rather than her.

Bea persists with a well-meaning attempt to distract her grieving sister, but it only makes Elly even more upset.

Feeling terrible, Bea makes amends with Elly and Finn by organising an impromptu memorial service for Shaun at Lassiters lake.

Bea is relieved when this proves to be a breakthrough, allowing Elly and Finn to move one step closer to dealing with Shaun's demise.

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, October 28 and Tuesday, October 29 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

The wording "officially considered dead" is interesting, perhaps he isn't and just trapped somewhere. Otherwise why not just say they recovered his body?

Anyway should have stayed in Erinsborough, no avalanches in Ramsay St - so far

[lizann]

he isnt dead this will push elly to finn

Elly isn't having much luck finding a Dad for her baby. First she tries to convince Mark it's his, he finds out, divorces her and leaves the show. Then she's about to get together with Shaun and he disappears under a pile of snow.

You could be right. We are still waiting for Bea's temporary exit storyline.

Finn and Elly get togetether and Bea goes away for a bit?

[Ruffed_lemur]

I think that Elly will realise that she loves Shaun and he returns. Or messier version......she gets involved with Finn thinking Shaun is gone, then Shaun returns!

It could be a plot between Shaun and his mother - he could come back at a later date and kidnap the baby? There's always been something a bit off with him I've thought, "too nice".
