Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has revealed a first look at Melanie Pearson's dramatic return to Erinsborough.

Melanie will arrive back on Ramsay Street to face the music next month, after weeks of fan speculation over her mysterious departure from Erinsborough.

New spoiler photos show Melanie in a tense conversation at Number 22, the new home of her ex-husband Toadie Rebecchi.

Unsurprisingly, Toadie and his new wife Terese Willis are both present to hear what Melanie has to say following her extended absence.

More curiously, Jane Harris, Susan Kennedy and Holly Hoyland are also in attendance to witness Melanie's revelations.

Paul Robinson also gets involved and appears visibly irate over the situation, but viewers will have to tune in to find out why he's there.

Melanie's return scenes will air as part of the highly-anticipated Flashback Week, as Neighbours provides answers over what happened during its two-year time jump.

Producers have promised to provide answers over the new season's biggest mysteries ? and the reason for Melanie's departure is sure to feature.

When Neighbours returned for its new season last month, it was revealed that Melanie had left Ramsay Street a year earlier. She wrote a note to Toadie, claiming that she wasn't cut out to be a stepmum to his children Nell and Hugo.

Fans have speculated that there was another reason for Melanie's disappearance, as this strange excuse seemed out of character.

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told us: "It will all lead to a big event, that we will then unpack in greater detail. That will ultimately answer the mystery of: 'What became of Melanie, why did she leave? Why have a few other people left town?' All will be revealed a few weeks into the show."

He continued: "All roads lead to this flashback week, where we do find out. We go back in time ? and we discover some things that were going on during the finale that you all saw, that we didn't really see at the time.

"All of these things, it turns out, have a really big bearing on what's happened to the show today. Why people are there? Why people are not there? Who was with whom? How does it all happen?"

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.

My guess is Melanie had cancer and after what happened to Sonya she didn't want to stick around for the kids sake

think same

[tammyy2j]

I hope Melanie, her laugh and pigs return full time for Toadie and the kids

Terese is all work work business and Paul

[its.like.that]

Yeah well she says she is full time. 100% her and Toadie get back together. Especially when they both find out the truth

[Bossy7]

starting to think Eden is Melanies son. Something happened with him that made Melanie bail on all of them??

[its.like.that]

Yeah it would appear so. Cancer theory is out the window I think.

[Bossy7]

Why else would Eden be there??

Im interested to see how Paul is tied into this mess with Melanie! Surely not another Paul child!

Holly will also come into the story seeing she had some sort of relationship with Eden in the past. Did Eden cheat on Holly with Krista??

Whatever it is Paul & Melanie did what they did to keep Terese , Toad & the kids safe?

Melanie will be in the spotlight with this story. Will enjoy seeing a totally different side of her.

Makes me laugh though, Toadie was lied to by Dee, Sonya and now Melanie, being a lawyer hasnt helped him much.
