Neighbours Spoilers 20th - 24th March 2017
Just when we thought Neighbours' Fake Dee Bliss saga couldn't get any more exciting, it's been revealed that the eagerly-awaited conclusion of the storyline will take place in London.
The Aussie soap has filmed a number of scenes in the UK capital which will air later this month, bringing the Fake Dee plot to a thrilling climax.
Later this month, we'll see Fake Dee finally leave Erinsborough with her daughter Willow, having finally secured the money she wants from Toadie Rebecchi.
Toadie is distraught and confused over the pair's sudden disappearing act, but an emotional call from Willow soon helps him to realise that they're both on the way to London.
Desperate for answers and with the blessing of his wife Sonya, Toadie heads to the UK in hot pursuit – spending his days frantically trying to track them down.
After visiting several key London landmarks that have popped up in Willow's Instagram posts, Toadie finally manages to find his "daughter" and invites her back to live on Ramsay Street with him.
Sadly, things take another drastic turn for the worse when Fake Dee turns up – and the timing couldn't be worse as it's just after a disastrous Skype call that Toadie has had with Sonya.
As sparks fly, Neighbours bosses are promising that the consequences of this showdown will impact the Ramsay Street residents for weeks and months to come.

As if all that wasn't exciting enough, the London episodes also feature Karl Kennedy as his wife Susan urges him to head to Britain too – hoping he can convince Toadie to see sense, return to Ramsay Street and be there for pregnant Sonya.
Neighbours filmed the London scenes in October 2016 and January 2017, keeping them pretty top-secret. However, there was a sneaky glimpse of Karl in London in the 2017 trailer that was released late last year.
Fans can look forward to seeing a host of familiar locations, including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and the London Eye.
Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison commented: "It's just a small way of saying thanks to our incredible UK audience which have remained loyal since day one, and the London backdrop was perfect for the dramatic twist the Toadie, Dee and Sonya storyline is about to take."

Channel 5 commissioner Greg Barnett added: "This week promises another unmissable and dramatic series of events in Neighbours, as the ongoing Toadie/Dee storyline reaches a point of no return, against the backdrop of London.
"Given the heritage this much-loved Australian series has with UK viewers, it's an extra treat for fans that such dramatic developments take place here in the UK."
Neighbours last filmed in London ten years ago, when Karl and Susan renewed their wedding vows in a heartwarming ceremony on the Thames.
Ryan Moloney, who plays Toadie, commented: "Of all my storylines over the years, Dee's disappearance is definitely one I'm most asked about, so it's great that we're able to add an international element to this latest chapter."
Alan Fletcher, better known as Dr Karl, added: "I'm continually asked by fans on social media about Neighbours coming to London to film, so I was thrilled when the producers told me we were doing this, particularly for such a big storyline."
Neighbours airs the London scenes between Monday, March 20 and Friday March 24 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
