Neighbours spoilers: Why has Melanie been locked up?
Mel is in hell.

A shocking confession has landed Melanie in prison, where she anxiously awaits her fate, but what exactly has she done?

When Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) ? Toadie's (Ryan Moloney) ex-wife who abruptly left two years ago ? returned to Ramsay Street unexpectedly in Neighbours recently, he and his new bride Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) were none too pleased.

The only one who was happy to see her was Toadie's daughter Nell (Ayisha Salem-Towner), who'd missed her stepmother desperately and had worked hard to try to track her down.

The teenager hadn't warmed to Terese and longed for the family unit as it used to be. To try to achieve that, Nell went looking for Melanie, going behind her father's back, skipping school ? and, in her efforts, inadvertently putting herself in harm's way.

When Nell suddenly couldn't be found and didn't answer her phone, Toadie feared the worst. A search party was formed to find the youngster, with the authorities brought it to assist.

"Toadie was disappointed by Nell's actions, but he understands it's been hard for her," Ryan, 43, tells TV WEEK. "Melanie was like a mother to her and she misses that relationship. Nell is confused and heartbroken she left."

Now Melanie is back, her past has caught up with her. Could this be why Toadie wanted her to be as far away from Nell as possible all along?

"After all the revelations that have come to light, Toadie believes a relationship with Melanie will only bring Nell more hurt," Ryan says.

Although Toadie only wants to keep Nell safe, being so firm in his parenting could push away his daughter further and encourage her secrecy.

What misdeed has landed Melanie behind bars? And is it so unforgivable that not even young Nell ? the only reason she's returned to Erinsborough ? will want to see her again?

Looking forward to this SL.
Hoping it is something really soapy that involves many characters!
Would love it if Eden was somehow related to Paul. Do think he is Melanies son?.

Whatever happens, its going to be a lot better than the WTD SL ending. Andrew should have been the dad!

was mel in prison or is going to prison, was she on the run, im hoping a good flashback but waited so long i fear a letdown

[Bossy7]

Mel will probably end up in prison. She thinks she killed someone, possibly Krista??

Im sure Toadie will be the one who gets her out and clears her name. Conflict of emotions incoming!!

The JJay WTD SL was a total letdown after such a big build up! I hope we dont get another similar ending.

The reboot has been disappointing and boring so far?.

Well all characters are linked. But how. Cover up the supposed murder? Thats why Paul protected Terese? It happened at Lassiters?

[Bossy7]

Mmm? thats why I think Pauls involved too. Im not sure what to make out of whats been shown past two days.
Melanie being the housekeeper was a letdown for me. Wanted the connection to be way more exciting! Either Kristas mother or Edens mother? secret child was way to go.

Is anyone actually enjoying the SL?s?????

[its.like.that]

It has been boring and a crap reveal so far.

The fallout will determine the shows future. They have butchered it so far with the slow reveal.

The Varga family are not good actors. That storyline about his dad was anti climatic.

I can't see the show continuing beyond next year at this point

[Bossy7]

I have to agree.

Writers have missed many opportunities to deliver something fresh & exciting, Im not sure how the show will last at this rate.

I agree that some of the newbies just dont work. Cara, JJay & Haz probably the better ones. JJay should have been ANDREWS son! That would have been a great foundation to build upon.

The SLs have promised so much yet failed to deliver.

Was great to see MEL in a different role, but she deserved better. Housekeeper for the Sinclair family, seriously ?????

Wont lie, as a NEIGHBOURS fan Im bummed its this bad.

[its.like.that]

Finally something they didn't drag out re: Krista. Not all doom and gloom yet.
