So glad MELANIE pushed TOADIE to make the first move!!! This is so on TOADIE!

MELANIE knows TOADIE too well..

[Bossy7]

I knew MELANIE was going to tell HOLLY!!

All hell will break loose now. Imagine what NELL will do with this. Hopefully shes TEAM TERESE. Wonder what she says to MELANIE..

TOADIE got exactly what he deserved, poor TERESE. Shell be running straight to PAUL.

CHELSEA really stuffed everything up for herself throwing away the plaque, and telling TOADIE TERESE was off with PAUL. Divorce incoming.

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Melanie Pearson is set to take a break from Erinsborough amidst the drama with her ex-husband Toadie Rebecchi and his wife Terese Willis.

The trio have been having a hard time following Toadie cheating on Terese with Melanie. But now Terese has agreed to give Toadie a second chance and work on their broken marriage, Melanie is struggling.

In scenes airing on May 8 and 9, Melanie hides from Terese and Toadie when she spots them out. But she's sprung by Terese, who realises how much Melanie is hurting.

Terese brings it up with Toadie, advising him to make peace with Melanie so that they can all move on.

Toadie offers a heartfelt apology to Melanie for the way he treated her, but she may need to put some distance between her and her ex to really heal.

Later in the week, Melanie completes her last day of community service but she's not sure what to do in the next phase of her life.

A chance remark from Paul Robinson prompts her to take her Drinks Divas van on a music festival circuit for five weeks. She intends to raise some money to help her move out of the Kennedys when she gets back.

With Karl and Susan's blessing, Melanie drives off in the van for an adventure.

Neighbours to introduce suspicious new character in Mel storyline
"There?s something a bit strange about them..."

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours is set to introduce a suspicious new character in Melanie Pearson?s storyline.

Melanie has a difficult few months, after she had an affair with her ex-husband Toadie Rebecchi, behind the back of his current wife Terese Willis.

But she was left alone when, after their cheating was exposed, Terese decided to give Toadie another chance and work on their marriage.

After this drama, Melanie decided to take a break from Erinsborough, and in Thursday?s episode (May 9) she decided to take her Drinks Divas van on the music festival circuit for the next five weeks.

Thankfully, Melanie isn?t leaving the show for good, and in a ?Ramsey Revelations? clip posted on the Neighbours Instagram, actor Lucinda Cowden revealed that a mysterious new character will be introduced when she returns.

"Things coming up for Mel?" she said. "For a start, I think she absolutely needs to move out of the Kennedys?. Also, she meets somebody ? not in a romantic way ? while she?s doing these music festivals, and they come back with her. And, I don?t know but maybe there?s something a bit strange about them.

"That?s all I can tell you. I can tell you no more. There are no more revelations coming through here. No spoiling."

Cowden, who has played Melanie on and off since 1987, also opened up about her character?s tricky storyline in recent months.

She said: "If I think about Mel, what?s happened to her this year? it?s not been good. It?s been really fantastic to sort of flesh Mel out a bit more and it was a gift of a storyline to come back with. Ryan [Moloney] and I worked really hard to make that relationship believable and real and get people on board with it, because it was a difficult relationship on paper to make work, really.

"I think single Mel is interesting, as well. Originally I always thought of her back in the eighties as like your ultimate single friend. Just that mad girl that will do anything with you."
