Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden)

[Bossy7]

The reveal was too basic, but hey Im happy KRISTA is alive. The actress has great energy. She gives off APRIL vibes. Happy to have CHLOE back too. She lights up the room.

Will be great to get MELANIE out of those greens!!!! Not her colour. We need her back to her gorgeous self! Where will she live???? With SUSAN & KARL?

TOADIEs feelings for MELANIE will also come flooding back now that she isnt guilty of murder. Fun times ahead.

Hoping KRISTA hangs around. Her character would fit in perfectly and instantly give us the drama with HOLLY. Could see the two of them ending up as besties and saying that EDEN played them both.

Guess the next big story is lets save the school again?..

[its.like.that]

My prediction Mel and Paul get together before they reunite with their originals

[Bossy7]

That would be hilarious!!! I cant see it though?

No way would Paul go there or would he??

I could see MEL & PAUL conspiring to make the other two jealous, but an actual hookup its a no from me.

Looking at the cast, who is there for MEL & PAUL if not TOADIE & TERESE?

We need more characters?.

Not on the credits yet so is she permanent?

I remember Stefan mentioning there was a storyline which shocked everyone. Maybe related to a death. Does she die?

[Pantherboy]

Not sure if she is permanent yet (though all indications seem she will be), but Melanie doesn't die. However, there appears to be another death on the horizon, & the strong speculation is that it will be David (as I am sure many people have now heard). The rumour going around last year was that Takaya (David) wanted to leave the show & that David's going to prison was to be his exit storyline, but when it was announced that Neighbours was being axed that situation changed & he stayed on till the end. Then when the show was resurrected, the speculation was that he agreed to return, but only for a limited time. The rumour then began that he will be killed off when a fan posted a photo on Facebook in early September off the crew filming a funeral at a Melbourne cemetery. This was followed by a Channel 10 news segment inadvertently sharing a glimpse of the memorial photo (on a table) from the wake - the picture is blurry, but someone later apparently was able to enhance it & says it was definitely David's photo. It is said he will be seen on-air till February. As always, nothing has been confirmed, but many seem to be talking about this as a 'done deal'. We will see.

Sorry, not sure why they won't load. I re-posted them & they initially loaded ok, but later on they didn't again! Oh, well. The first one was a pic of a casket at the funeral site with rows of empty chairs etc, ready for the ceremony. The 2nd (blurry one) one was of the wake, with Aaron, Mac & Holly(?), & someone signing the register/book at the table with the framed photo of (what looks like) David.

[Bossy7]

Im ready for DAVID to die. Was never a big fan. I just hope that he makes peace with PAUL before he goes.

I wonder who will be cast for AARON???

AARON & CHLOE hopefully staying permanently so theyll be great together in this SL and CHLOEs with her Huntington symptoms.

Neighbours' Melanie and Krista to receive devastating news as flashbacks are revisited
It was recently revealed that the pair knew each other years ago.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...astating-news/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Melanie Pearson and Krista Sinclair are set to receive some devastating news.

The Australian soap's recent Flashback Week confirmed that Melanie knew Krista years ago, as she was a housekeeper for Krista's family.

It was also revealed that Krista was on drugs at the time, and Melanie tried to protect her by going to confront the dealers.

However, this backfired when Melanie was caught on CCTV holding the drugs, so she fled from the UK to avoid facing the consequences.

This comes back to haunt them in scenes airing on Thursday, December 28, when Melanie is shocked to learn that she and Krista have been called in for a preliminary interview with the UK Government.

Here, it will be decided whether or not to extradite them for drug possession and absconding.

Melanie's lawyer informs her that they will need character references to prove that Melanie is a law-abiding citizen who got caught up in a complex situation with a powerful family.

However, Melanie is unsettled when her lawyer assumes that she has her ex-husband Toadie's support.

Nell becomes concerned when she overhears Melanie talking to Krista about the interview at Elly and Chloe's wedding.

She then suggests that she request character references on Melanie's behalf after sensing that Melanie is reluctant to press Toadie and his new wife Terese.

Although Melanie reiterates that she doesn't want to ask them, Nell follows through with the request anyway.

Unaware of the circumstances, Toadie tells Terese that Melanie should approach him directly rather than having Nell do it for her.

Adamant that Melanie has crossed the line, Toadie quickly writes up a character reference. But will it be the reference that Mel wants and needs?

Mel's friends get carried away over her love life.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...arson-new-lie/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Melanie Pearson gets carried away next week as she lets her loved ones believe that she's moving on with her life.

Melanie is determined to start a new chapter after the messy circumstances surrounding her split from her ex-husband Toadie Rebecchi.

This week's episodes saw Melanie arrange a date via an app, but she was devastated to discover that she'd fallen for a catfishing scam.

After Melanie was stood up for her date at The 82 tram venue, a group of young thugs terrorised her on the way home and revealed that they'd been behind the online messages she'd received.

Next week, Melanie feels like the odd-one-out as she's surrounded by loved-up couples on Ramsay Street.

Melanie is keen to make a change in her life, so she decides to go on a date with the fruit supplier for the Drinks Divas van.

The latest date doesn't go well, but Melanie feels backed into a corner when some of the neighbours see them together and express their excitement over her moving on.

Melanie can't bring herself to admit that the date was a flop, so she begins to dig herself into a hole as she spins false stories over how her love life is going.

Secrets never stay under wraps for long on Ramsay Street, so will Melanie live to regret not being honest with everyone?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, January 25.
