Will Paige and Mark’s nuptials finally go ahead?
Now that the day of her wedding has finally arrived, Paige is giddy with excitement.
In Neighbours this week, Paige (Olympia Valance) and Mark (Scott McGregor) are finally ready to tie the knot.
It’s been a long journey to the altar for this on-again, off-again couple but their love for one another runs deep.
“Paige’s feelings for another human have never been as strong as what she feels for Mark,” Olympia says. “He is her person.”
What will happen when police officer Mark learns his bride-to-be has been implicated in a stolen goods heist?
On the day of the nuptials, Paige gets ready for the ceremony surrounded by her closet family and friends.
Her adoptive mum Mary (Gina Liano) has also flown in from overseas to attend the wedding.
“Of course, she wants her mum there, despite what they’ve been through,” Olympia says. “There’s far too much excitement and anticipation in the air to get caught up in mistakes made in the past.”
Paige can’t wait to walk down the aisle and marry Mark, so she text him to say she’s moving the ceremony forward a few hours.
“Paige and Mark’s relationship has faced so many trials and tribulations,” Olympia, 23, admits.
“Through it all, they’ve always managed to find a way back into each other’s arms.”
Paige is glowing when she put on her beautiful wedding dress.
“It’s a mixture of bridal elegance and Paige’s edgy personality,” Olympia says of the dress. This is everything she could have hoped for.”
While Paige gets ready for her big day, Mark ducks into the police station.
He’s shocked when he’s informed by a colleague that Paige’s fingerprints have been detected on some stolen goods from a spate of robberies in Erinsborough.
As viewers would know, Paige was set up by Michelle (Ra Chapman) who is an associate of Dimato’s (David Serafin).
Knowing he’d by upset, Paige didn’t want to tell Mark about her association with Michelle.
“Mark is a striaght shooter,” Olympia says. “Her troublesome ways have come close to ruining their relationship in the past.”
At the station, Mark is troubled by what he’s been told.
“He’s devastated,” Scott, 34, confirms. “He asked Paige to stay away from Michelle.
“Finding these fingerprints and finding out she’s involved is a real kick in the guts.”
Mark feels betrayed and questions his relationship.
“If you’re marrying someone, you don’t want them keeping secrets from you,” Scott says.
Mark tries to come to terms with the suggestion Paige may have been involved.
Meanwhile, Paige has headed to the backyard, ready to exchange vows.
Will Mark turn up for the ceremony or jilt has bride at the altar?
