Who is watching them?

Neighbours hints that more danger is on the way for Ned Willis and Yashvi Rebecchi next week.

The couple, who have only just reunited following a messy break-up, are oblivious to a fresh drama ahead when a mysterious stranger starts following them.

When Yashvi (Olivia Junkeer) returns from her time away in Sydney, her main focus is on passing her upcoming police entrance exam.

Yashvi tells Ned (Ben Hall) that she'll be obeying an old police superstition – staying celibate until the exam is over.

Ned doesn't take Yashvi's decision entirely seriously and playfully tries to tempt her into breaking her vow.

Yashvi isn't impressed and accuses Ned of not supporting her.

Later on, Ned apologises to Yashvi and they manage to get back on the same page once again.

As they make up and Ned helps Yashvi to study, a shady guy watches them very closely. Who is he and what does he want with the pair?

The latest ominous sign follows an eventful few months for Ned. He faced a terrifying situation at Halloween when he was stabbed by sinister Scarlett Brady, who had been manipulating him for weeks.

Afterwards, Ned landed himself in further trouble by joining a dangerous fight club, leading to problems with his new associates when he later wanted to quit.

Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, January 24 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Ned Willis faces more terrifying threats as newcomer Zenin arrives
The fight club saga isn't over.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...zenin-threats/

Neighbours fans will see Ned Willis face sinister threats next week, as his time in the fight club unexpectedly comes back to haunt him.

Show bosses have cast former Home and Away star Axle Whitehead in the role of dangerous newcomer Zenin, who issues a frightening warning to Ned (Ben Hall) in a sinister new storyline.

Zenin wants Ned to keep quiet about something that happened during his short-lived involvement in the club. Ned is baffled by this, not understanding what he's supposed to be staying silent about.

Recognising the seriousness of Zenin's threats against him and his girlfriend Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer), Ned turns to Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) for some advice.

Paul suggests that Ned should make a power move against Zenin and his associates, as they're clearly not the kind of people to scare easily and calling the police won't work.

Ned complains that he doesn't have any power in this situation, so Paul advises him to bluff and hope for the best.

Later in the week, Ned secretly heads to the prison to visit Kane Jones (Barry Conrad), one of his acquaintances from the fight club.

Ned wants to know what the incriminating thing is that Zenin thinks he saw – hoping that Kane will be able to shine some light on the situation. But will he agree to do so?

The following day, Ned reaches breaking point when he sees Zenin lurking around the complex.

Fearing that Zenin has plans to hurt Yashvi, Ned decides to take Paul's advice and try to bluff his way out of the situation.

Confronting Zenin, Ned claims that he remembers the illicit activity at the fight ring and has given a statement to his lawyer. If anything happens to Yashvi, this statement will go straight to the police.

Ned is clearly playing with fire, but will it be enough to convince Zenin to back down?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, January 27, Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Ned Willis to break his silence over Zenin's threats
But will the police keep him and Yashvi safe?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...hreats-police/

Neighbours' Ned Willis will finally break his silence over Zenin's terrifying threats.

Recent episodes have seen Ned's (Ben Hall) past come back to haunt him, as Zenin (Axle Whitehead) threatened to hurt him and Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) if Ned didn't keep quiet about something that happened in a fight club.

Ned ended up bluffing, telling Zenin that he gave a statement to his lawyer – which will go to the police if he or Yashvi are harmed.

In scenes airing next week, Toadie's law office is broken into. Ned and Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) both suspect that this was Zenin's doing, particularly as it follows Toadie speaking with the police over a gun incident at Buddy Club.

Ned has no proof of Zenin's involvement, and so comes up with a plan to get to the bottom of it, with Kyle's reluctant help.

However, his plan potentially puts Yashvi in greater danger, as she plans a celebratory dinner for her and Ned.

Yashvi learns the truth about Zenin's threats, and is angry at Ned for hiding the truth as well as his risky plan to purchase an illegal firearm.

Ned, Yashvi, and Kyle end up going to the police to give statements, but don't know if it's enough for Zenin to be immediately arrested.

Ned is worried about Zenin, but is reassured by Yashvi that the police will make sure that they're safe...

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, February 10 and Tuesday, February 11 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Digital Spy article with new trailer:


Neighbours hints at a horror new ordeal for Ned Willis as he revisits his past
An old enemy causes big trouble for him.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-brady-ordeal/

Neighbours has hinted that Ned Willis could find himself framed for a terrible crime.

A brand new trailer released by the show reveals more of the drama to come for Ned (Ben Hall) following the shock return of Scarlett Brady.

Recent episodes on air in Australia have seen Scarlett (Christie Whelan Browne) make a surprise comeback to Ned's life, nearly a year after she stabbed him in a horror Halloween storyline.

Scarlett's return plot, which starts on screen for UK viewers in a fortnight's time, has seen her blackmail Ned into painting a portrait of her.

However, it seems this is just the beginning of the trouble in store as Scarlett continues to return to her old tricks.

In the brand new footage, Ned is seen returning to the maze where Scarlett stabbed him last year, which is sure to bring back horrible memories for him.

There's also a glimpse of blood-stained evidence and police constable Levi Canning (Richie Morris) making a concerning discovery.

Meanwhile, there's a promo shot of Ned in handcuffs, while a menacing voice-over from Scarlett hints that she could turn the tables on him: "You've been harassing me for weeks, hounding me with your sick, twisted obsession. Show them who you really are."

Could Ned find himself in serious trouble with the police thanks to Scarlett's games?

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Sounds like Ned ends up killing her? (Here?s to hoping)

Or Scarlett stabs herself and blames Ned.

[kaz21]

She is definitely trying to set him up.

[Bossy7]

The storyline?s have been so crap since Finn departed. Writers need to do way better, the show is a total bore. Nothing at all to invest in currently.

Neighbours confirms Ned Willis' sinister new storyline twist
What has he done?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...disappearance/

Neighbours spoilers follow from Monday's Australian episode, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

Neighbours has confirmed Ned Willis' huge new storyline twist, which sees him under suspicion over a sinister crime.

The soap recently teased a shock turn of events for Ned (Ben Hall) in a tense trailer focusing on his ongoing ordeal with stalker Scarlett Brady.

Monday's episode on Australian screens (October 5) has now revealed the full details of the storyline, which sees Ned in serious trouble with the police.

In the show's latest scenes, Scarlett managed to lure Ned back to the maze where she stabbed him last year. This came after she disrupted the launch of his art exhibition by publicly accusing him of stalking her.

Scarlett seemed firmly in control as she brought Ned back to the scene of the stabbing in the aftermath ? but a few hours later, she was nowhere to be seen.

Mysteriously, Ned woke up back in Erinsborough, having slept in his car. He had a visible head injury and no memory of what happened after he followed Scarlett into the maze.

When Scarlett's fianc? later reported her as a missing person, the police had some tough questions to ask Ned as he was the last person to see her alive.

Thanks to various clues that Scarlett had set up in recent days, including the Fandangle activity and some misleading CCTV footage, the police were starting to see Ned as the true villain of the piece.

Things only got worse for Ned when policeman Levi Canning (Richie Morris) found spots of blood in his car boot.

Could Ned have got rid of Scarlett and lost his memories of what happened, or is this all part of his stalker's evil masterplan to make him suffer? Only time will tell.

Neighbours fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in three weeks' time.

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Yesterday's (Monday 5th) episode was super stupid.

I can get on board with Ned following her out of the exhibition, but getting in the car to drive after her, abandoning his event, and then follow her for hours. It changes from day to night. Even if he's angry, surely he'd think 'why am I doing this.. what a waste of time'.

The CCTV is also incredibly dumb. It's so clearly a set up. Police will say 'this looks like you pushed her' and no one will say 'well, you don't see me in the shot, so you can't say that for sure'.

[Kyzaah]

I found myself asking, ?what is he going to do when he catches up to her??
Like really, what was he planning to do? Just talk? Why did he chase her? It made no sense to me.
