Sexy new sibling
The steamy male dancer at Sheila's bingo night turns out to be a Brennan brother.

If you though Mark and Tyler added a bit of eye candy to Ramsay Street, just wait until their middle brother arrives in Erinsborough.

In upcoming episodes of Neighbours, Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) makes a steamy arrival that no-one in Erinsborough will be forgetting any time soon.

After days of building tension with Tyler (Travis Burns), Mark (Scott McGregor) is desperate to reach out to his younger brother.

Sonya (Eve Morey) recommends connecting via something from their shared history but after a failed game of Uno and the increasing distance between the warring siblings, Mark makes the decision to call in reinforcements.

The new arrival has a surprise in store for his brothers.

When Sheila (Colette Mann) throws a charity bingo night with a unique twist in the form of a male revue dancer who shimmies around the bar whenever "bingo" is called, it draws an interested crowd.

When a persuasive Sheila forces Tyler and Mark to join in, they're shocked to realise the identity of the male dancer: it's Aaron!

So what is Aaron doing working as an exotic dancer and will he be able to bring his bickering siblings closer together?

If his saucy arrival is anything to go by, we're going to have fun finding out.

No. Tyler & Imogen are such a cute couple and have great chemistry togehter. They make a much better pairing than Daniel & Imogen.

It wouldn't surprise me if Aaron is Paige's new love interest.

I think even the actors involved themselves say Imogen and Daniel will eventually end up together

Tyler has chemistry with everyone even Nate :p

Tyler is fun and hot and has cute cheeky side to him. Daniel is dull and has no personality. Tyler seems to make Imogen smile a lot more as well. I could never see Daniel playing strip poker like Tyler did.

Mark is too old for Paige. Aaron will probably be a new love interest for Paige, as they will be around the similar age. Aarron will be about a couple of years older than Paige.

Brennan is not too old for Paige....she just needs to grow up and move out of Lauren's and get a decent job or.....join the police force and work beside Mark!!!!! YES!!!
I do not want to see Paige go for the trifecta on the Brennan brothers...please no.

Paige is too old for Mark. He can do so much better than Paige. Even Mark said she was a bit too young for her.

It wouldn't surprise me if Paige and Aaron hook up. Aaron is more of Paige's age.

Neighbours bosses are adding a new gay character to the regular cast following the departure of Chris Pappas.

Aaron Brennan, played by actor and model Matt Wilson, joins Ramsay Street later this month and more details have been revealed about his arrival today (June 1).

Matt Wilson as Aaron Brennan

Aaron is a gay male stripper, who will be making a memorable entrance when he turns up as the entertainment when Sheila Canning hosts a racy bingo night at The Waterhole.

As Aaron is single and looking for new love, his younger brother Tyler will attempt to set him up with established regular Nate Kinski (Meyne Wyatt) - but whether the pair have enough in common to become an item remains to be seen.

Wilson's casting as Aaron was first announced last month. His arrival will allow the show's producers to further explore the Brennan family, with Aaron's siblings Tyler and Mark already settled in Erinsborough.

26-year-old Wilson originally qualified as a carpenter, but since downing tools in 2011, he has found success as a sought-after model and television actor.

Neighbours waved goodbye to its first ever regular gay character earlier this year when Chris (James Mason) left Erinsborough to move to New York. The popular mechanic had been dating Nate in the months building up to his exit.

Neighbours newcomer Matt Wilson has promised that fans can expect 'juicy storylines' and lots of drama from his character Aaron Brennan.

The actor has been cast as Mark and Tyler's brother Aaron, and Australian viewers saw him arrive on screen yesterday.

Speaking about what is coming up for his character, Wilson has teased that it will soon become apparent that the Brennan brothers don't know each other as well as they like to think.

Speaking to All About Soap, Wilson said: "There's a lot the Brennans don't know about each other and so there are juicy storylines looming. Fighting, romance, betrayal and upset are all around the corner."

When asked what sort of impact Aaron will have on Ramsay Street, Wilson said: "A big one! He certainly knows how to shake up a town and he will immediately make friends and fans in the neighbourhood.

"There is some great stuff coming up with Aaron and Josh - they will be good mates."

One of Aaron's first storylines will see Tyler try to set him up with Nate Kinski, but Wilson has teased that it won't be plain sailing for the pair.

He said: "Nate doesn't want anything to do with Aaron at first, so it is not the perfect pairing. Tyler has got a long way to go before he'll make a good Cupid!

"Then Aaron gets involved in Nate's business with a new guy called Alistair. It all turns a bit sour when Aaron steps in to help after Nate and Alistair fall out and Nate definitely doesn't take too kindly to his game-playing!"

UK viewers will see Aaron's arrival in two weeks' time on Channel 5.

Neighbours newcomer Aaron Brennan will make a memorable arrival in Erinsborough later this month when he is unveiled as a male stripper that Sheila Canning has organised for The Waterhole.

Despite her best efforts, Sheila's bingo night at the bar gets off to an uneventful start until Mark and Tyler realise that the identity of the male dancer booked to spice things up is their brother Aaron, played by Matt Wilson.

Mark (Scott McGregor) explains to Tyler that he called Aaron to Erinsborough to see if he could help cheer Tyler up, but never imagined they would find him working as an exotic dancer at The Waterhole.

As Aaron is roped into helping Tyler (Travis Burns) at the garage, a disappointed Mark confides in Sheila about how distant he feels from his brothers, having not been aware of Aaron's career change.

However, Sheila advises that Mark forgets about recreating the past and instead learns about who his brothers are now.

Armed with this advice, Mark goes back to his brothers and is determined they will be a close family again - but will he get his wish?

Meanwhile, as Aaron gets to know his new neighbours, Tyler decides to try and find him a love interest, after his brother admits an interest in meeting someone.

As Aaron is gay, Tyler introduces him to Nate Kinski, but it soon becomes apparent that his match-making skills aren't as good as he'd like to believe.

Despite Tyler's best efforts, Nate and Aaron take an instant dislike to each other due to having completely opposing views on everything.

When they realise they have been set up, both Nate and Aaron crush Tyler's hopes by insisting that they won't be getting together anytime soon. Has Tyler's plan backfired?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, June 30, Wednesday, July 1 and Thursday, July 2 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Neighbours introduces a new regular character in memorable fashion next week as Mark and Tyler Brennan's brother Aaron arrives in Erinsborough.

Mark contacts Aaron and invites him to pay a visit in the hope that he can help to cheer Tyler up, but he gets much more than he bargained for when Aaron turns up as a male stripper at a racy bingo night hosted by Sheila Canning at The Waterhole!

Digital Spy recently chatted to actor and model Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron, to hear all the gossip on his early days on screen.

After a couple of months filming, do you feel as though you've settled in?
"Yeah, it's great! I actually went out this week as my birthday's coming up soon and a heap of the cast came out to celebrate with me. They've really made me feel at home. When I first moved down here to Melbourne, I wasn't expecting to be welcomed so well - but everyone is so friendly. It's fantastic.

"I get along well with my on-screen brothers in particular. We get a lot of scenes together but even off air we get on like a house on fire. But all of the guys on the show are great."

How did the role come about?
"The process drew out for a long time. It started off with your normal casting process, where you're given a scene, you have to perform it and send it into the producers. Because I was interstate, a lot of it was done online via email.

"I then had to fly interstate to do more auditions and interviews. It just went on for months and months and months! (Laughs.) I was in a limbo where I might have been quitting my job and moving interstate to change career completely or I might not have been.

"It was quite an exciting time, but then one day they sent through the email and said, 'Congratulations, you've got it!'"

What can we expect from Aaron Brennan?
"Well, Aaron definitely doesn't enter the show in a boring way! He arrives in Erinsborough with an absolute bang, which people might know already if they've read about it or seen the photos!

"Aaron's an infectious person. He's really happy, he's an optimist, he's got a lot of energy and there's a really good vibe which comes off him. He's received well by absolutely everyone."

You were definitely thrown in at the deep end with your first scene! How did you feel about that?
"There are two sides to that. The first one was, 'Wow, I'm about to dance when I don't have any dancing background or training!' It was my first day on a new job with new colleagues and people that I didn't know. I had to do this dance that I was 80% sure I could do but not 100%, so that was one side of the coin!

"But the other side of it was that I knew this could not be a better way to enter a show. Some people arrive on Neighbours in a taxi on the Street, but Aaron comes in with an absolute bang so I was quite honoured to be playing him."

Does Aaron get along with both of his brothers equally, or is there one he's closer to?
"Aaron gets along with them both as much as each other. He is quite a loving and forgiving person, so not many people can do wrong by him. As you know, Mark is the obsessive compulsive guy who's really responsible and all about financial security. On the other hand, Tyler doesn't really have a moral compass - he'll just go for something if it sounds like a good idea and he doesn't care what the consequences are!

"Aaron also likes to live in the here and now. He's a bit of an opportunist, so if something sounds fun, he'll say yes - but he won't go and break the law like Tyler will. Aaron is quite sensible and quite intelligent in that respect. He's got responsibilities and he knows how to handle them, but he does take up opportunities like Tyler. I'd say he's just a little bit closer to Tyler than he is Mark."

We know Aaron is gay and that Tyler tries to set him up with Nate pretty much straight away! Is that a good idea?
"Tyler has a different motive as to why he needs to set them up. He's not just playing cupid, he's got something else that he needs to sort out! Tyler doesn't put much thought into it!

"Although Aaron is quite an infectious person and everyone receives him really well, for some unbeknown reason Nate just gives him the cold shoulder. Aaron doesn't really know how to handle that. The scene where Tyler tries to set us up is hilarious - it's an absolute car crash of a scene!"

Who does Aaron make friends with on the Street?
"There's some really good stuff coming up with Josh Willis actually. Aaron and Josh find something in common which is quite unlikely and you definitely wouldn't expect it. There's some really good fun to come from that and they become good mates. What's coming up with Aaron and Josh is actually one of my favourite storylines, so I cannot wait until I can talk more about it!"

As a model you were obviously in shape anyway, but is there any pressure to stay that way with so many stripping scenes?
"I think there's not much pressure because that's just how I live anyway, but at the same time you certainly want to stay in shape and you want to look your best, because whatever you do on Neighbours will be seen by millions of people and you've got one chance to make a good impression.

"I just keep living the same life I always have been so there's not much pressure, really!"

You've already hit the screens in Australia, so have you had a warm welcome from the fans over there?
"Yeah it's great - really good. I didn't know what to expect, but across social media and reactions from friends and family too, it's just been such a positive response. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy!"

You've had more attention than most newbies with the recent promos and photoshoots - have you enjoyed that?
"I think it's been good fun - I absolutely love it. Like I said earlier, there's no better way to enter a show than Aaron does on screen, so there has been a lot of attention because of that. Male revue dancers seem to be hot stuff at the moment - you've got Magic Mike coming out and now you've got Aaron on Neighbours. I'm absolutely honoured to be playing this role."

Is it true that we might see more Brennans further on down the line?
"There are more storylines coming up around the Brennan family. There's a lot of stuff around the brothers getting to know each other again, but then there are more Brennans coming to Erinsborough. That was also one of my favourite storylines, so I can't wait to explain what that is when I'm allowed to!"

How do you feel about people comparing the Brennans to the Braxtons in Home and Away?
"I can see the comparison there because you've got three guys around the same age who happen to have their shirts off a lot, which the Braxtons did too!

"But I think the comparisons really stop there because Neighbours has always been about families in Erinsborough. There's always been new characters introduced who are part of those families - whether it's cousins, sisters or brothers. There just so happened to be three brothers in this case."

You've been very successful with your modelling, but has acting always been an ambition of yours too?
"Yeah, acting has been a real passion of mine. For a while it was kind of like a hobby, so I would always jump on board if anyone was ever advertising for someone to be in a short film, a feature film or even anybody to just help behind the cameras.

"It's been something that I've absolutely loved doing, but I never thought about doing it as a career until this opportunity came up. I applied and I got the job and here we are!"

With acting and modelling under your belt, would you ever consider choosing one over the other?
"I think I could possibly do both at the same time, but there are no limitations to how much effort you can put into acting. You can always learn and evolve. Even some of the oldest and most experienced actors in the world will tell you that they're still learning, so I would love to continue putting 110% of my focus onto acting and see where it takes me."

Meanwhile, Nate Kinski will come to Aaron Brennan's rescue after a night out with Josh Willis takes a nasty turn.

Aaron (Matt Wilson) will run into trouble after taking his friend Josh out for a night on the town, in a bid to help him get over his former girlfriend Amber Turner.

Aaron thinks the best way for Josh to move on is to find him a new love interest, but he makes a big mistake when he introduces him to a girl that isn't single.

Although Aaron is feeling confident in his match-making skills, Josh is left in an awkward situation when the girl's boyfriend Evan turns up. Evan and Aaron quickly get into a heated argument, but Josh manages to defuse the situation by apologising for his unknown error.

However, as Aaron heads home later that night, a still furious Evan approaches him and throws a drink into his face, before preparing to attack him.

When Nate appears just in time, he manages to stop Evan in his tracks and send him packing. By the time Aaron has regained his bearings, his rescuer has disappeared and he has no idea that it was actually Nate who came to his rescue....

Aaron realises he’s crossed the line professionally and morally.
While Aaron’s professional life is on the up, having been hired to be assistant to new mayor Sonya, he’s missing his boyfriend Nate who took off after getting involved in a fight.
So Aaron’s (Matt Wilson) angry and upset when he finds out that Nate (Meyne Wyatt) is back in the country and didn’t even tell him, which makes him even more susceptible to the advances of Lassiters executive Tom Quill (Kane Felsinger). Could the delvelopment manager have a different agenda?
Aaron’s first mistake is acceopting free champagne from Tom. He twigs to the conflict of interest when Tom starts asking for details on Sonya’s (Eve Morey) opinion of the Lassiters expansion proposal. When he returns the gift Tom makes a move on Aaron and since Nate hasn’t bothered to contact Aaron he agrees to a date with Tom.
With things going well the two head out for a second date but talk soon turns to the developemt and Tom is unhappy to hear that the plans might take another couple of months to get through the approval process. Tom ancourages Aaron to give him a list of everyone opposed to the expansion.
Later at work Aaron spots the complainants list and giving in to his impulses takes a photo of it and sends it to his new beau. One by one business start withdrawing their opposition as each is offered an incentive from Lassiters management and when Aaron finds out he realises he’s crossed the ethical line.
The corruption goes even deeper with Tom swapping an environmental impact report on Aaron’s computer, which leads the council to give the developement the green light. Realising he’s been taken advantage of, Aaron is forced to confess all to Sonya - who fires him on the spot.

Neighbours star Matt Wilson has revealed that there's a darker storyline coming up for his character Aaron Brennan.

The Ramsay Street hunk looks set to be challenged in his toughest plot to date, but Wilson is happy to keep us guessing by staying tight-lipped about the exact details for now.

"I can't talk about it yet, but anything where you have to go to the dark places in your mind is really challenging," he told The West Australian.

"Anything where you have to dig deep into the emotion of something is going to be the most challenging but the most rewarding as well.

"There is a lot of support on set when you have to go to those places. If people can see you are in the zone, so to speak, they either step back or give you a pat on the back and just encourage you."

After nearly a year on screen as Aaron, Wilson added that he's been pleasantly surprised to escape any online hate.

"We get trained when we first start on how to handle trolls and stuff like that," he said. "I have been waiting for people to be mean but they just haven't.

"It could be something to do with the character. Aaron is not a bad guy at all, he is very generous and considerate of others. I have hit the jackpot with this guy."

Matt needs to give himself some credit too. He's been instrumental in making Aaron into a really likeable character.

Neighbours fans have been left in more pieces than the Lassiter Hotel after a dramatic week of episodes*has snatched Josh and Doug away from us. And we could be on the cusp of discovering who is responsible for the shocking blast which tore through the hotel.

While we saw a mysterious figure tampering with the boiler which eventually led to the killer explosion, their identity was kept under wraps. But has one of the show’s cast given away who will be unmasked as the person responsible?

Matt Wilson has revealed that his character Aaron Brennan, who was seen lurking suspiciously outside of the complex before the tragedy unfolded, will be a prime suspect. But was he truly the one behind the horror – or could it all be a red herring?

Speaking to BANG! Showbiz, Wilson said: ‘This gets dragged out for Aaron for a long time. So he’s got a guilty conscience about something. It’s so complicated and it’s probably the most complicated thing that I’ve done so far.

’Speaking of complicated, other matters of his life are giving him a headache too when his ex boyfriend Nate unexpectedly returns to*Erinsborough.

Wilson teased: ‘Nate is back in town unexplained, he didn’t say why he was coming back, so he’s got like a romance he has to sort out all while having emotions for other things.

’Complicated times indeed – it seems like we shouldn’t be tearing our eyes away from Ramsay Street for a second right now…

Do you think Aaron's to blame?

Has Aaron Brennan caused the Lassiter's explosion?

"He's definitely involved," says Matt Wilson

"There's a massive storyline that comes out of what Aaron was doing there and what he had on his mind," adds the actor

Neighbours star Matt Wilson has revealed that Aaron Brennan will be suspected of causing the Lassiter's explosion.

"Aaron is definitely involved," the actor tells RadioTimes.com.

"There's a massive storyline that comes out of what Aaron was doing there and what he had on his mind.

"In the run-up to the blast, Aaron was seen acting furtively in the vicinity of the hotel complex, but Wilson reckons that should his character turn out to be guilty, then it wouldn't have been a deliberately malicious act.

"It would be accidental. Aaron is such a nice soul and he wouldn't do anything to harm anyone. He's not the type of person to do anything like that deliberately," he adds.

This week's episodes of the Australian soap have seen the disaster claim the lives of long-standing Erinsborough residents Josh and Doug Willis. And Wilson admits that it was tough saying goodbye to actors Harley Bonner and Terence Donovan:

"It's been really upsetting. When we were first told that Josh going to die, Harley had tears in his eyes. And when they did the make-up, he really did look dead. It was heavy stuff. And Terence is absolute legend of a guy. He brightens up the green room. So, to have him gone is sad too.

"As for what lies ahead, he promises that there'll be more relationship complications for Aaron following the return of Nate, who arrives on the scene of the blast in his role as a volunteer rescue worker.

"We're on again, we're off again, we're on again," laughs the actor when discussing his on-screen love life. "Aaron loves Nate but he can't figure him out.

"And with Wilson coming up to his one-year anniversary on Neighbours, he also admits that he's experienced a massive change in his own life:*"Everything has changed.*Prior to this, I was working full-time on a building site as a carpenter. The calluses on my hand aren’t there anymore - I now have really soft, moisturised hands!

"But the part I like best about being on Neighbours is the impact that our presence can have on someone's day.*I try to say that in a modest way. Recently, we did a tour of a hospital in Perth - some of the kids had been there for a year, and just you being in that room talking to them makes their entire week. Maybe their year."So it’s almost a healing power. To have that is the biggest benefit that I’ve got out of being on the show."

Is Aaron Brennan a killer? Star Matt Wilson previews Neighbours (VIDEO)

Aaron Brennan believes he's murdered Tom Quill by knocking him down before Lassiter's exploded, burying Tom in the rubble, but Neighbours'*Matt Wilson*reveals support for Aaron comes from an unexpected source...His ex, Nate Kinski, has returned to Erinsborough and turned up at just the right moment.

Matt told What's on TV: "Tom Quill is not to be accounted for. The explosion's happened, he's nowhere to be seen. [Mum] Julie Quill's trying to find Tom and she's been interrogating Aaron, trying to get some info out of him. Aaron's been forced to lie and he's not the sort of person who like to lie...

"Meanwhile, Nate has said you need to keep yourself quiet, you need to not tell anyone, don't tell your brother, the police officer [Mark Brennan]. We can sort this out another way. It's a very confusing time.

"Matt's shocked by Nate's reappearance, but he isn't convinced he's exactly what Aaron needs right now. "I think Nate might be trying to make up for what he's done in the past. He feels a bit guilty about disappearing. He does feel bad, which is good. But it might not be the best advice for Aaron at the moment.

"Their relationship is a battlefield, according to Matt."

Nate and Aaron, since we first started, as you know, we're complete opposites. It's quite funny - he wants this and I want this. It actually makes for good scenes because we actually bounce off each other. Whenever we do a scene together we always want the complete opposite, which makes it quite interesting. And it's much the same now ... It's always a battle, a constant battle of them trying to find common ground.

Nate tries to help his troubled ex-boyfriend Aaron but the two are being watched - and plagued by sinister texts.
The last time Aaron saw Tom Quill, the man who romanced Aaron into corrupt behaviour, he was in the car park of Lassiters hotel before the explosion. After an argument, things got physical and Aaron defended himself by punching Tom and knocking him out.
Now Tom (Kane Felsinger) is missing, presumed dead and Aaron (Matt Wilson) is racked with guilt believing he is responsible for Tom’s death.
Though Aaron’s anxiety over Tom’s disappearance is preventing Aaron from reconnecting with Nate (Meyne Wyatt), Aaron is there to support his ex-army-officer boyfriend at the local Anzac Day service. Little do the pair know they are being watched by someone and things get more mysterious and for Aaron a little scary when he receives a text message from an unknow number saying “I know what you did Tom Quill”. Nate urges Aaron to stay calm and wait to see what move the texter makes next.
After another threatening message, Nate gets suspicious that Julie Quill (Gail Easdale) might be behind the disturbing messages after she confronts Aaron for information for the second time. To test his theory, Nate tries replying to the number but when Julie’s phone doesn’t light up he is back to square one.
With the texter now demanding cash to be left for them in the old well, Nate tries to comfort Aaron, leading to a kiss. Vulnerable, Aaron kiss Nate back and the pair continue locking lips, which forces them to work out where their relationship stands. Aaron explains how hurt he was by Nate’s abrupt departure from Erinsborough and Nate apologises. He admits he still has feelings for Aaron and would like to get their romance back on track if Aaron feels the same.
Their heart-to-heart is then interrupted by another text so Nate comes up with a plan to catch the person blackmailing them. When they finally unmask the culprit they will be shocked to the core. Who has been taunting Aaron all this time?

Neighbours' Matt Wilson to star in a movie?

Neighbours' Matt Wilson has been offered a movie role.

The 27-year-old actor may have only joined the long-running soap last year as gay stripper Aaron Brennan but he's teased that he's been approached by so many bosses about potential blockbusters since his jaw-dropping arrival.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "As soon as you get onto a soap like 'Neighbours', everyone wants to talk to you, everyone wants to manage you and everyone wants to get you auditions to do their films so it's kind of a matter of where you want your career to go."

And, although he's keen to explore the world of film- just like former 'Neighbours' star Margot Robbie - the hunk doesn't feel ready to leave the Australian soap just yet but is willing to weigh up his options if the right role came up.

He explained: "Oh God, I wish I could do both. There's so many factors to do with storylines and contracts and stuff like that. If I did go into film I would want to do something with a lot of inner conflict, like a role that's so far attached from myself."

Matt Wilson Looks At Men's Bottoms

Neighbours' Matt Wilson has admitted he accidentally looks at men's bottoms when he's shooting scenes because he plays a gay character in the soap.

The 27-year-old actor portrays gay stripper Aaron Brennan in the long-running Australian soap and has admitted he sometimes forgets he's no longer in character and finds himself glancing down at guys' peachy behinds, despite being happily engaged to his fiancée Sharn Norman.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "So you'll be doing a scene and a guy will walk past and you find yourself looking down at his bum and you kind of go, 'Hold on! I didn't mean that, that was just the character!' "And, although he didn't have much acting experience prior to nabbing the daunting role last year, Matt didn't have too much of a problem getting into character.

He explained: "I took inspiration from my gay mates. I still haven't told them yet. There's one group in particular who all grew up in Manly , Australia - Oh there it is, I just gave it away, they're going to figure it out now - and we used to hang out quite a bit there and I figured they were the best kind of people to model it off. I've noticed everything they wear, the way they react to girls and the way they react to guys - it's completely different. I had to investigate a lot."

Neighbours spoilers: First look as Aaron Brennan is horrified by a threatening text message

Who knows what he did to Tom Quill?

Neighbours airs a tense storyline that will keep fans guessing all this week, as Aaron Brennan starts receiving threatening texts.

Aaron (Matt Wilson) is still in turmoil over Tom Quill and the Lassiters explosion when a mystery individual starts making matters a whole lot worse by tormenting him over his secret.

Hit play below for a first look at the storyline:

The clip above sees the plot begin in today's episode (April 25) as Aaron gets a text from an unknown number which reads: "I know what you did to Tom Quill."

Poor Aaron is naturally freaked out by the message, but his love interest Nate Kinski (Meyne Wyatt) takes a calmer approach with some advice on how to deal with the situation.

With Aaron and Nate both on the case, can they outsmart the mystery text sender?

Neighbours airs these scenes today (April 25) at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Matt Wilson to Perform Sexy Dance At Wedding

Neighbours' Matt Wilson wants to perform a sexy dance for his fiancée Sharn Norman at their*wedding*reception.

The 27-year-old hunk has admitted he's never been one to show off his snake-hips and shoulder sways in front of people but could be persuaded to perform his moves on his big day.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I avoid the dancefloor at all costs. I'll dance on our wedding. I suggested that we do a routine but she's not all about it. I could maybe do a dance for her. If I could dance as well as Channing Tatum*in 'Magic Mike' then I think I probably would perform for her but I think it might scare the grandparents a little bit."

And, although the couple - who have been together five-and-a-half-years are yet to start planning their nuptials, the handsome star is eyeing up the idea of a Mexican wedding.

He said: "We haven't started planning the wedding yet. It'll be next year sometime that we'll get married but we're yet to pick a date and a venue. We were thinking about it as like a destination wedding. But it'll be hard for people to commute there so it sort of rules people out. We were thinking about a Mexican wedding. We'd ride up on donkies and everything.

Matt Wilson will be on Neighbours for 'a while'

Matt Wilson thinks he'll be on 'Neighbours' for a "while."

The 27-year-old hunk's buff alter-ego Aaron Brennan may be wrapped up in a number of gritty storylines at the moment, which could land the gay stripper behind bars, but he has teased his handsome character won't be turning his back on the fictional suburb of Erinsborough anytime soon.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I'm a full-time cast member at the moment - Here for a while! I think the schedule that we've got, even though it's quite tight, a lot of our time is spent at home learning scripts so the filming schedule is x amount but it's 80 per cent prep work. Most of the weekends are spent at home learning lines."

And, although Matt - who joined the long-running Australian soap last year - is happily engaged to his long-time partner Sharn Norman, he has admitted he doesn't have a problem portraying a gay guy on screen and enjoys the scenes.

Matt - who was a carpenter before pursuing a career in television - explained: "I've gone from a straight builder to a gay stripper... the best of both worlds. It's quite easy actually.

"Love is very universal so if you put yourself into that situation when you know what love feels like, you know what it does to you and that's the same. I don't find it awkward at all."

'Neighbours' airs on Channel 5, weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm.

Neighbours hunk Aaron Brennan will be taking centre stage on the Aussie soap in the coming weeks as he deals with new relationship and family dramas.

The good news is that Aaron could finally make some progress with his on-off love interest David Tanaka (Takaya Honda), but life back at home is looking a little more rocky as the Brennans' mother pays a long-awaited visit.

Digital Spy recently caught up with Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron, for all the gossip on what's next for his character.

Are you enjoying exploring the romantic dynamic between Aaron and David?

"Yeah, I am. It's been going on for a long time, hasn't it? Sometimes it's like the rollercoaster ride that never ends! But we do have a bit of a resolution coming up soon. It's a very welcome resolution, it's quite triumphant and I'm confident that everyone is going to be glad to see it."

Sounds promising! Do you think they make a good match?

"I think they're perfect because they're not the same person, they're the complete opposite. Aaron is everything David wants to be and David is everything Aaron wants to be. So they kind of look up to each other in a way, which is really cute."

Has there been a lot of feedback from the fans?

"Yeah, there's been a lot of love for David and Aaron. I thought people would get a lot more frustrated with the storyline and how it's been played out for so long. A lot of people have, but there's so much support there too. There's a 'Daaron' Instagram fan page, a 'Daaron' hashtag and you see people tweeting after every episode.

"We've also just started airing in Canada, so you see a lot of new Canadian fans sending messages through about how they love the relationship. There's a bit of drama still to come for them, so I think Aaron and David just need to let each other talk, say what's on their minds and follow their hearts rather than their heads."

What has Takaya been like to work with on the storyline?

"It's been really good to work with him. Takaya is very talented and he's done quite a bit of work. I think he's on three different TV shows currently airing in Australia right now – Play School and The Family Law, as well as Neighbours. So he really knows what he's doing and he's always open to workshopping different scenes for the David and Aaron relationship."

What can you tell us about the Brennans' mum coming into the show soon?

"She's played by an absolutely brilliant actress, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to say who it is yet. There's a lot of chemistry with her and the three Brennan brothers. She fits right in as their mother, but in classic soap style, there's no smooth entry for her.

"All of the Brennan brothers have issues with her, and Aaron in particular behaves very out of character towards his mum. So it's quite confusing at first and there's curveballs in store. It was a really, really fun story to map out and play. We all put in a lot of work on it, and I think it's going to pay off."

Were you glad to have that chance to explore the Brennan family history?

"Yeah, the show turns into 'the Brennan show' for a while! There's so much to explore there. It's also good to play something for your character that's a little bit unpredictable. Aaron is quite a predictable person because he wears his heart on his sleeve, and you usually know how he's going to react to any situation.

"But this one is different for him and it's hard to figure out what's going on at first. I think a lot of people will relate to the issues that Aaron has with his mother. They go through the whole process of resolving that. David also helps Aaron along in pushing him to resolve it, but there's going to be a lot of emotion in the Brennan household."

We've heard previously that Neighbours originally intended to bring back the Brennans' father Russell, but actor Russell Kiefel then tragically died in real life. Did this new storyline takes its place?

"Yeah, they did have to change the story. The writing team came up with an alternative, but they obviously wanted to be very sensitive towards Russell Kiefel's family while playing it out.

"It was very emotional filming everything because everyone was doing it in memory of Russell Kiefel. So this next storyline is very emotionally loaded. Also, it's not just that storyline but what happens afterwards too. We're still filming that at the moment and it goes on for quite some time."

Are you happy to stick with the show for now?

"Yeah, it's so much fun and it's not a monotonous job – it's not like a factory job. Sure we go in at the same time, we hit the marks and we say the words, but it changes every single day. Every time you're given a new storyline, you focus on that and it just reinvents your day every single time.

"Every weekend, we'll look at the scripts for the next week and you can map out how you're going to do it. You'll always do it a different way than you would have done it the week before, because you get inspiration from all of the other actors."

What are your hopes for Aaron's future?

"Oh, I've always said that I want Aaron to save the day! But I think that's just Matt talking, as Aaron would always try to avoid any kind of traumatic situation.

"I also want David and Aaron to get married and go all the way. I think that would be a really powerful storyline to play."

Did you get to meet Adele when she came to Ramsay Street as a tourist earlier this year?

"Nobody did! I was at her concert a few days earlier and she was talking while she was performing. She spoke about how she tries to avoid the media and some of the pictures that she posts up. She said: 'Usually I'll book something and we won't tell anyone, we won't beef up the security, I'll just rock up, I'll wear my plain clothes and I'll take my photo, but I won't post it for a few days so that everyone thinks that I'm there now but I'm not!'

© INSTAGRAM @ADELE
"Then she went and posted a picture of herself on Ramsay Street one morning and everyone lost their minds saying: 'She's just down the road?! Let's go!'

"They got in the car and rushed off but she'd already gone – she'd probably already left the country! (Laughs.) But everyone was excited and we did then try inviting her to the studio, so we tried our best! It's good to know that she loves the show, that was awesome."

There's been lots of speculation about Neighbours' future this year, including recently due to Channel 10 in Australia going into administration. Have the producers reassured the cast?

"It's a lot less of an issue than you think it is! What we've been told is that it's work as usual. You also speak to people like Alan Fletcher who've been on the show for so many years and they say: 'Yeah, every time the contract comes up for renewal, there is speculation and there are press stories but you just go to work, do your thing and enjoy your time'."

We usually zone out of a YouTube video by the time we get to the 'don't forget to like and subscribe' bit at the end, but with this recent Neighbours backstage video we're glad we didn't – because it looks like a huge plotline is being teased.

The video, which is a tour of the new Erinsborough Pavilion set, ends with a quick message from Dr Karl (wearing some dashing purple gloves), but what's that name on the bed? 'T Brennan'? Uh-oh.

Neighbours star Matt Wilson is backing a long-term future for Aaron Brennan and David Tanaka, admitting that he'd even like to see the pair become parents.

Fans have been rooting for a romance between Aaron and David for months and it seems that there could be a happy ending in sight as the duo finally share a kiss next week.

Whether or not an actual relationship is on the cards still remains to be seen, but Matt – who plays Aaron – is keen for the 'Daaron' to settle down together.

When asked by Inside Soap if he wants the couple to last the distance, Matt said: "Oh yeah, I want to see them go the whole hog!

"I want them to get married and own their own house on Ramsay Street, and maybe even have a baby."

Reiterating his hopes that Aaron and David will have a same-sex marriage in Neighbours, Matt added: "Wouldn't that be great? Especially as gay marriage isn't actually legal in Australia.

"I think that would be sending out a huge message, and that would be really powerful. It's just fiction, so it doesn't matter that it's not legal – the country would love it."

Viewers will have to stay tuned to see if Matt gets his wish, but there is plenty of drama in story for Aaron in the meantime as Neighbours recently announced the Brennan brothers' mum Fay is on her way to Ramsay Street.

Digital Spy article:

Neighbours star Matt Wilson reveals all on Aaron's engagement and Tyler return hopes.

The actor wants a "fairytale ending" for Aaron and David.

Neighbours airs another milestone moment later this week as Aaron Brennan and David Tanaka get engaged.

The Aussie soap is paving the way for its first gay wedding with the romantic scenes, which see Aaron pop the question and David (Takaya Honda) reveal that he was planning to do exactly the same thing.

Digital Spy recently caught up with Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron, for the lowdown on the proposal scenes and the future for 'Daaron'.

Are you pleased that Aaron and David are getting engaged?

"I'm over the moon. It's been a long time coming. The writers have run out of ideas to string it out any longer! It's an exciting moment and a milestone in my career."

What kind of reaction are you expecting from the fans?

"Judging by the fans' reaction on social media, I think it is going to be one of the most anticipated engagements in a long time on Neighbours."

What can we expect from the proposal scene?

"It was a big scene. We shot it at a beach, which looks amazing. There are some really funny moments, so viewers will have a laugh before they cry."

In the aftermath, Aaron reveals that he's keen to tie the knot ASAP, while David wants to take things slowly. Why does Aaron want to do things so quickly?

"It has been a long time coming and they are in a really great place at the moment. Aaron definitely isn't as traditional as David, who wants the longer engagement of at least 12 months.

"David wants everything to be elegant and classic, whereas Aaron wants to get on with the party. They are engaged, so why not just seal the deal with a wedding?"

What can you tease about where things will go from here? Will Neighbours have its first gay wedding this year?

"We haven't seen anything yet from the writers, but we have our fingers crossed that they will finally have their fairytale ending. But it's Neighbours, so we'll have to wait and see – things never usually go to plan on Ramsay Street!"

Have we seen the last of the drama between Aaron and David?

"I hope so, but the writers always throw us a curve ball and I'm expecting some speed bumps along the way."

How are you all coping without having Travis Burns (Tyler) on set? Were you sad to see him go?

"Yes it was incredibly sad to see Trav go and the Brennan brothers to split up. It would have been great to see the dynamic of all three brothers with their sister Chloe in the household as well.

"Personally, I don't think his character is fully wrapped up, there are still a lot of loose ends to tie up. If we could get him back that would be great, but that's out of my control."

Would you like to see a twist where Hamish's killer turns out not to have been Tyler?

"As I said, I think there is more to Tyler's story but who knows, that's up to the writers!"

How do you feel about the writers expanding the Brennan family by introducing Chloe?

"I think it's great and the Brennan house definitely works better with three than two – you can then work the conflict of two against one. There is so much to explore with Chloe. She has similar traits to Tyler so I think she fills the void really well."

Will Chloe spark a lot more Brennan family drama this year?

"Yes, you'll soon learn that Chloe is quite the brat and always up to mischief. She has a few secrets that will be revealed and her brothers are always in the mix trying to clean up the mess."

Fans had a lot of praise for the David and Rafael bedroom scene a few weeks ago. Would you like to have a similar opportunity to explore that side of the David/Aaron relationship?

"David and Rafael had an incredible connection and it was so strong, at times it felt that Aaron and David were never going to get back together. Now that they are back together, you'll definitely see more intimacy together, particularly during the proposal."

Can you give us any final hints on what you've been filming recently?

"Lots more exploring with the Brennan family."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Daily Telegraph article. Neighbours filmed Aaron & David's wedding today, with Magda Szubanski playing the role of celebrant Jemima Davies-Smythe:

Neighbours set for an Australian TV first

IT WAS a historic moment on the set of Neighbours today as the long running soap filmed the first same-sex wedding on Australian television.

While Nine drama House Husbands featured a commitment ceremony, it is the first official gay wedding and the first since same sex-marriage was legalised.

Magda Szubanski filled the role of celebrant Jemima Davies-Smythe as actors Matt Wilson and Takaya Honda said their I do’s as characters Aaron and David.

“I think it is very special,” Wilson told Confidential in January when Neighbours filmed the proposal.

“A lot of the times we try to attack issues on the show and sometimes they have been and gone in the media or they don’t get as much light as they can but this should absolutely bring the issue to the surface.”

Shot in Melbourne, Neighbours has been on air for 33 years and has been known for pushing boundaries on different social issues.

The wedding will air over the coming months on Channel 10.

“Ever since the days of Scott and Charlene, Neighbours viewers have loved a wedding — and it’s high time a gay couple had the chance to walk down the aisle,” Neighbours executive producer Jason Herbison said.

“The passing of same sex marriage means all our characters, gay or straight, have the chance to celebrate their love, as it should be. I can’t promise that David and Aaron’s journey to the altar will be smooth sailing but they will make it to the big day — and we are going to go big.”

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan faces a backlash from Paul Robinson after a surprise discovery
So much for impressing his future father-in-law…

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a862701/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-brennan-backlash/

Neighbours fans will see Aaron Brennan's attempts to impress Paul Robinson backfire badly next week.

Aaron (Matt Wilson) is keen to get in the good books of his future father-in-law and spies an opportunity when Paul starts focusing on improving life for his family.

Next week, Paul (Stefan Dennis) decides to give his loved ones his full attention for a while, after receiving yet another romantic rejection from Terese Willis.

As Paul licks his wounds, he takes his mind off his heartbreak by trying to help his son David Tanaka progress with his career.

When Paul learns that David is specialising in surgery but is lacking support, he creates a mentorship program specifically for his son, wanting to give him a push up the career ladder.

With David's problems sorted, Aaron sees that Paul may need another new project and asks him to become his business mentor.

Aaron reckons this is the perfect way to earn some extra brownie points with Paul, but things turn sour when Paul takes a look at his books.

Much to Paul's dismay, the figures show that Aaron is on the brink of financial collapse and the future of his mini-gym The Shed is in doubt.

As Aaron reels from the bad news, Paul goes to Mishti Sharma and offers to buy her share of the struggling business. But is this what Aaron really wants? Could working with bossy Paul prove to be the ultimate nightmare for laid-back Aaron?

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan hides a painful secret after a nasty accident
With just weeks to go before the big 'Daaron' wedding.

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a863212/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-brennan-painful-secret/

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan hides a secret agony next week, with less than a month to go before his wedding.

Aaron (Matt Wilson) faces his worst nightmare when he suffers a painful injury after a highly stressful few days at work.

Upcoming episodes see Aaron come under serious pressure over his fitness business, thanks to his future father-in-law Paul Robinson buying Mishti Sharma's share.

Now Aaron's official business partner, ruthless Paul bombards him with unwanted suggestions on how to improve profits and efficiency – including cutting down staff.

Aaron ends up giving in to Paul's demands, but then has to work late packing up stray weights.

When he picks up a kettle bell awkwardly, he throws his back out and is later found in agony by his sister Chloe (April Rose Pengilly).

Although Aaron puts on a brave face and assures Chloe that his back pain is nothing to worry about, he can't help wondering how it's going to affect the wedding.

Aaron decides to simply live with the pain and avoid any strenuous activity for a while, but with fewer staff to cover classes for him and Paul constantly making new demands, it's not going to be easy to keep on top of everything.

Fortunately, Chloe is on hand to help out at The Shed, but Aaron is still determined to keep his injury a secret. He's especially keen to stop his fiancé David from finding out, not wanting to admit that Paul's behaviour is stressing him out. But how long can he keep David in the dark?

Neighbours reveals wedding day drama for Aaron Brennan and David Tanaka
Their day doesn't go by without a few hitches.

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a864873/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-brennan-david-tanaka-wedding-drama/

Neighbours hunk Aaron Brennan arrives at his wedding in a wheelchair next week – much to the shock of his husband-to-be David Tanaka.

Aaron (Matt Wilson) is already in agony after suffering a back injury earlier this month, but disaster strikes when he hurts himself even further on the day of the ceremony.

The gym boss is unable to walk as a result of his latest mishap, but he's still determined to get down the aisle and ends up being supported by his siblings Mark and Chloe.

In another last-minute hitch, an eccentric new celebrant called Jemima Davies-Smythe oversees the proceedings as a replacement for Susan Kennedy.

Jemima's unique style means that the day isn't quite what Aaron and David (Takaya Honda) had been expecting, but she certainly gets everyone laughing as the wedding goes ahead in romantic scenes.

Show bosses previously announced the casting of Australian actress and LGBTQ+ rights activist Magda Szubanski in the role of Jemima, who's also the long-lost half-sister of Karl Kennedy.

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: "It's a fantastic episode and the first same-sex wedding on Australian TV since marriage equality was legalised, so it was very meaningful to all of us on the production.

"We love 'Daaron' and it was an extra special treat to cast Magda Szubanski as the celebrant, as she was a big campaigner for marriage equality over here.

"It was filmed on a pretty cold and miserable Melbourne day, but everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces. Our art department created a fantastic setting, Chris Adshead did a wonderful job of directing and Paul Gartside wrote a terrific script."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, September 3 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Neighbours lines up new murder shock as Aaron Brennan considers killing Cassius Grady
What is he capable of?

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a868406/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-brennan-cassius-grady-murder-fears/

Neighbours fans will be left wondering whether Aaron Brennan is capable of murder in a dark scene next week.

Aaron (Matt Wilson) makes a surprising move when he finds out that Cassius Grady has been admitted to hospital after being attacked in prison.

The violent assault leaves Cassius's life hanging in the balance and Aaron is appalled when he finds out that his husband David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) is treating him.

Although part of Aaron understands that David has to do his job as a doctor, he's also full of resentment over the misery that Cassius has caused to his family over the past year.

With his anger building, Aaron finds himself drawn to Cassius's hospital room on his own.

As nobody else is around, Aaron heads inside and hovers over a comatose Cassius, seeing that a ventilator is keeping him alive.

Seeing how easy it would be to take Cassius off his life support, Aaron briefly considers his options but gets rumbled by David.

How far was Aaron about to go? And how will David feel about his uncharacteristic behaviour?

Neighbours couple David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan will start making plans for a baby next week.

The popular pair, who tied the knot in September, agree to begin looking into their options after Aaron (Matt Wilson) suggests that it's time to start getting the ball rolling.

The storyline starts off on a tense note, as Aaron and David (Takaya Honda) bicker over how to raise their new goldfish.

A frustrated Aaron questions how they're going to cope raising a child in the future if they can't even agree on a name for their pet, which leads to a more serious conversation between them.

As talk turns to the future, Aaron admits that he's keen to have a family of their own sooner rather than later. However, he's left disappointed when David insists that it's too soon.

Although David doesn't think they're ready for kids, he's left with food for thought after a chat with his sister Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond).

After realising how much planning it takes for a same-sex couple to have a child, David agrees that they can start researching the process – even though he doesn't want to be changing nappies just yet.

With Aaron delighted, could he and David be one step closer to a family of their own?

Neighbours' David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan face a crisis after Chloe's health news
Can they agree on the best step forward?

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a871323/neighbours-spoilers-david-tanaka-aaron-brennan-health-crisis/

Neighbours newlyweds David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan face a new crisis next week following Chloe's bombshell news over her health.

Chloe is about to reveal the truth over her Huntington's diagnosis after she learns that David (Takaya Honda) and Aaron (Matt Wilson) are making plans to start a family together.

Earlier this year, Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) was told that she'd tested positive for Huntington's, a genetic disorder for which there is no cure.

When Chloe discovers that her brother and David are considering surrogacy and plan to use Aaron's sperm, she finally bites the bullet and tells her family everything.

Although Mark agrees to get himself tested, Aaron buries his head in the sand and decides that he's happier not knowing the truth either way.

Next week's episodes see Aaron's attitude start to cause trouble for his marriage, as David is concerned over the way he's handling the situation.

David spots that Aaron seems to be using intense exercise as a way to distract himself from what's really going on. He urges Aaron to open up and reconsider having the test, but Aaron refuses to listen.

When David's brother Leo (Tim Kano) finds out what's going on, he can't resist getting involved by speaking to Aaron himself. Leo warns Aaron to stop thinking only of himself, since this issue closely impacts David too.

Realising there's some truth to Leo's words, Aaron finally lets his guard down and opens up to David. Although he's still not changing his mind, Aaron is more open about his reasoning – explaining that he doesn't want to add further grief to the Brennan family when they're already dealing with so much.

Later in the week, Mark gets his own test results back and is relieved to discover that he doesn't have the Huntington's gene.

Mark's obvious relief gives Aaron the courage to change his mind, so he tells David that he'll now have the test after all. Will there be a happy outcome after the couple head to the hospital together?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, December 5 and Thursday, December 6 at 12.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

Well, his contract would have been up this year, as he had a standard three year contract from 2015. He was first on screen in June 2015. So he has probably extended it, I would say.

Neighbours to introduce a new pet after sad Ramsay Street death storyline
David and Aaron welcome in a new addition.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a25596159/neighbours-spoilers-valerie-grundy-death-reg-dog/

Neighbours is introducing a new pet to Ramsay Street as part of the Valerie Grundy death storyline.

Show bosses have revealed that Neighbours' 8,000th episode will centre around the sad death of Val, who's quietly lived on the corner house of Ramsay Street for 34 years.

Australian entertainer Patti Newton has been cast in the role of reclusive Val, who makes her first – and last – appearance in the Aussie soap's milestone edition.

In the aftermath of Val passing away peacefully at home, the Sharma-Rebecchis take on the responsibility of looking after her dog Reg.

The new arrangement is a disaster from the start, as Reg constantly clashes with the family's existing pet Clancy.

When Shane and Dipi realise they need someone else to look after Reg while they track down Val's next of kin, David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) considers stepping up to the plate.

Noting how much Aaron (Matt Wilson) loves playing with Reg, David asks Mark to consider allowing them to adopt the pooch.

Mark is wary of allowing a pet into the Brennan house but David persists with the issue, pointing out how happy it would make Aaron.

David and Aaron are both overjoyed when Mark eventually concedes, allowing Reg to stick around on the Street.

The storyline of Val and her pet has been written in as a tribute to the late Reg Grundy, who helped to create Neighbours alongside Reg Watson in the '80s.

Neighbours airs these scenes on Boxing Day at 10.55am and 5.45pm on Channel 5.

It's goodbye to Reggie already.

Neighbours couple David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan face a new crisis next week as they're forced to give up their new dog Reggie already.

The pair recently decided to take on the responsibility of Reggie after her owner Valerie Grundy passed away suddenly.

Next week's episodes see Reggie's future come under serious question when she goes missing, leaving David (Takaya Honda) and Aaron (Matt Wilson) horrified as they realise that she's been dognapped.

All becomes clear when Reggie is found with Valerie's sister Mrs Punt (played by Wentworth Prison star Sally-Anne Upton), who insists that the dog belongs to her.

Already stressed-out after being suspended from his job at the Erinsborough Hospital, short-tempered David takes all of his frustrations out on Mrs Punt and even threatens a custody battle.

Not one to be intimidated easily, Mrs Punt gives as good as she gets in the public argument, leaving them at an impasse.

When peacemaker Aaron realises that Mrs Punt is lonely, he and David make the upsetting decision to give Reggie back.

Keen to make up with David after the drama with the Renshaws and Mannix threatened his career, Leo kindly gives him a photo of Reggie to remember her by.

Reggie is played by Matt Wilson's real-life pet dog Timba.

The storyline was written in as a tribute to the late Reg Grundy, who helped to create Neighbours alongside Reg Watson in the '80s.

Neighbours fans will see Aaron Brennan left horrified next week as he discovers Ned Willis's dark new secret.

Show bosses have revealed that Ned (Ben Hall) is about to join a dangerous and no-holds-barred fight club, as he seeks an outlet for his anger and frustrations after being stabbed by Scarlett Brady.

Next week's episodes see Ned try to make sure that his family and friends don't discover his alarming new hobby.

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done and it's not long before Finn Kelly (Rob Mills) realises that something is going on with him.

Finn is intrigued to spot a secretive exchange at the gym between Ned and newcomer Kane (Barry Conrad), who introduced him to the fight club.

When Finn also spots that Ned has mysterious injuries, he starts to fear that Ned has returned to gang life.

Ned's ex-girlfriend Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) confronts him with this incorrect theory, leaving him furious.

Annoyed by this interference, Ned is only pushed further into his dangerous new obsession.

Later in the week, Aaron (Matt Wilson) is confused to hear that Ned is explaining his injuries by claiming to have suffered an accident at The Shed.

Aaron is sceptical as there are no witnesses to the supposed accident. Acting on impulse, he decides to follow Ned and find out what he's really up to.

When Aaron arrives at the fight club's secret location, he's horrified to witness Ned losing all self-control during a match.

Aaron steps in to pull Ned off his pummelled opponent, but will this be too late?

Neighbours to explore a parenting story for David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan in 2020
"As a same-sex couple, it won't be easy."

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a30498406/neighbours-david-tanaka-aaron-brennan-parenting-story-2020/

Neighbours' David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan will be getting a parenting story later this year.

David spent the latter part of 2019 at death's door, needing a kidney transplant following a hit and run incident. Robert Robinson ended up saving David's life after donating his kidney.

David and Aaron discussed the possibility of being parents over Christmas, and the Australian soap's executive producer Jason Herbison has now confirmed that this will be a major storyline that will be explored in 2020.

"As often happens when someone's health is at risk, the relationship becomes stronger," Herbison told TV Week.

"We'll see them explore their desire to have a family.

"As a same-sex couple, it won't be easy and will take them down unexpected paths."

Herbison also discussed what fans can expect from the 35th anniversary, which is being celebrated in March. Aside from saying that the episodes will be "by far the biggest event" the soap has ever done, the boss teased that there will be "two major narratives taking place".

"One is warm and nostalgic, the other is high drama. Some of the returnees come back for a specific event, others get swept up in it organically, which is lots of fun," he said.

Neighbours fans will see David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan face a heartbreaking new baby setback next week.

The popular couple make plans for a co-parenting arrangement with Pierce Greyson's ex Lisa Rowsthorn (Jane Allsop), but they're soon devastated to learn that it can't go ahead.

Viewers have seen Lisa arrive in Erinsborough and reveal that she wants another child, asking Pierce to be the father.

This week's episodes see Pierce turn down the suggestion, knowing that his wife Chloe Brennan will never give her blessing.

However, there's still hope for Lisa when David and Aaron suggest that she could come to an agreement with them instead.

David and Aaron are delighted when Lisa agrees to consider the idea, although her son Hendrix doesn't approve. David's father Paul Robinson is also troubled by the suggestion.

Before the discussions can progress much further, Lisa discovers that she's already pregnant with her ex's baby, meaning that the plan can't go ahead.

Aaron is pragmatic as he knows they have other options, but the news hits David hard.

When Paul checks up on his son, David admits that for the first time in a while he wished he wasn't gay, as it makes becoming a parent so much harder.

Feeling for David, Paul is struck by an idea and soon announces plans for Lassiters to have its own float at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade, with David and Aaron taking a starring role.

Neighbours to finally air Courtney Act's cameo as David and Aaron head to Sydney
They also run into Scissor Sisters icon Jake Shears.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a30964238/neighbours-courtney-act-cameo-mardi-gras/

We've known for a year that Neighbours would be filming scenes at Sydney's legendary LGBTQ+ event, the Mardi Gras parade, and now we're finally getting to see them very soon.

In the storyline, David and Aaron (the first same-sex couple to be married in an Australian TV drama) head to Sydney to enjoy the festivities.

Thanks to Aaron's celebrity connections from his dancer days, in the Friday, February 28 episode, they bump into Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters and RuPaul's Drag Race star Courtney Act. What an afternoon!

But it can't all be good news for the duo.

Spoiler pictures also show that the couple also bump into Aaron's ex-stalker Mick Allsop, which means things could be set to get a little awkward.

Neighbours couple David and Aaron face parenting setback as they foster a child
The couple's parenting skills are put to the test.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a32800501/neighbours-spoilers-david-tanaka-aaron-brennan-foster-child/

Neighbours' David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan are set to face a series of parenting challenges soon as they begin fostering their first child.

According to new spoilers published by Australia's TV Soap magazine, the married couple start to doubt whether they're even up for becoming foster parents in the first place after they're asked a bunch of uncomfortable questions during their initial interview.

Annoyed at the board's intrusiveness, Aaron (Matt Wilson) sets out to complain, which leaves David (Takaya Honda) worrying that his husband's outburst will affect their chances of becoming certified foster carers.

At first, it seems like David was right to be concerned when the couple is seemingly rejected but things soon turn around when they receive an out-of-the-blue call telling them they're eligible to foster a child named Emmett (Ezra Justin).

Much to David and Aaron's surprise, Emmett is 13 years old, despite them requesting a child between the ages of two and five. Nevertheless, the twosome agree to care for Emmett for a little while until something more permanent in regards to his homing situation can be arranged.

Unfortunately, Emmett later overhears the couple arguing over the fact that they would rather have received a baby, which causes a rift between him and his foster parents.

Feeling rejected by David and Aaron's desire for a baby, Emmett disappears and the couple race to find him and let him know that they do care about him.

While Emmett's week with David and Aaron remains turbulent, the day before his planned departure sees Emmett hit it off with David's father Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) at his farewell barbecue, and the teen later reveals to Aaron and David that he's no longer desperate to leave.

The newfound tranquility doesn't last long though, as David and Aaron soon face another challenge when they arrange a foster care agency driver to drive Emmett to and from school every day – a decision they come to regret when the driver fails to show up and the youngster goes missing.

Paul eventually finds Emmett, which irritates David and drives a wedge between him and Aaron. Things only get worse later on too when David learns that Aaron lied on the incident report about what really happened with the drop-off, leaving David worried that Aaron's actions will ruin their chance at becoming parents.

Will the couple ever get the family they so desperate want if the authorities discover the cover-up?

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

Surely Ramsay St is the most crime ridden st in the world! I'd like to know how many murders or attempted murders there have been in this quite suburban st since 1985. Just recently Hamish,Sonya,Bea,Susan,Gary,Pru,Lucy,Harlow. Granted most of them are Finn's work!

Most people wouldn't move there after checking out the usual statistics. Schools, amenities, crime.. oh. Er.. let's try Summer Bay instead.

There used to be a show in the UK called Dream Team, about a football club. They would re-colour actual match footage then recreate close ups with the actors in kit to show bits of their games. Over the X years of the show there were many murders, shootings, a plane crash, a bus crash, a separate bus explosion, an organised crime hit, and probably some others. Amazing that players would continue to sign for them. Maybe they didn't, and that's why the show ended.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan risks Christmas row with David Tanaka
He takes pity on Paul on Christmas Eve.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a46126291/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-david-christmas-row/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan risks upsetting his husband David Tanaka next week as he takes pity on his father-in-law Paul Robinson.

Aaron feels guilty when he sees how much Paul is struggling during the festive season, but his intervention is sure to have consequences.

Viewers recently saw Aaron and David move back to Erinsborough on the strict understanding that Paul would stay away from David.

David is struggling to forgive Paul for his involvement in the Krista Sinclair cover-up, which previously led to David and Aaron leaving Erinsborough to start a new life.

Next week, Paul mopes around and feels sorry for himself for being alone at Christmas.

He still isn't welcome to spend time with his family, and has also lost Terese Willis after jilting her at the altar a year ago.

Aaron decides that Paul deserves a break, so secretly takes the businessman's granddaughter Isla up to the penthouse to see him on Christmas Eve.

Later, Aaron feels guilty for doing this without speaking to David first.

As seen in Thursday's episode (December 14), David was even reluctant to have Aaron working casual shifts at The Waterhole because it was indirectly supporting Paul.

Could Aaron's Christmas gesture cause another issue between him and David?

Neighbours releases this episode on Thursday, December 21 at 7am on Amazon Freevee.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan to do a disappearing act after David Tanaka's funeral
Nicolette is shocked by his decision.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a46757167/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-brennan-disappears/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours fans will see Aaron Brennan run away from his responsibilities next week.

The fan favourite seeks an escape from Ramsay Street as he struggles to cope with the tragic death of his husband David Tanaka.

Upcoming episodes see Aaron seek an outlet for his anger as he finds it difficult to cope without David.

An opportunity presents itself when Aaron comes face-to-face with show newcomer Slade, the leader of a gang of kids who are causing trouble around the Lassiters complex.

Andrew Rodwell is horrified to find Aaron in a violent clash with Slade and he steps in to break it up.

Shortly afterwards, Andrew tries to talk some sense into Aaron and urges him to change course.

These words of advice go unnoticed, as Aaron crumbles further under the weight of his grief and the demands of being a parent to his daughter Isla.

Aaron makes an impulsive move by doing a disappearing act and running away from his responsibilities.

Nicolette Stone, who's left flying solo with childcare duties, soon reaches breaking point herself. Tired and emotional, Nicolette snaps ? will Aaron be back to support her anytime soon?

Takaya Honda's last Neighbours scenes as David aired at the start of this month. It was always the plan for David to die after a few months back in the show, as Takaya wanted to give his character a final send-off.

Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron, recently said: "Aaron and David have been together longer than I, Matt, have been with my wife, so that says a lot.

"Our characters have been through lots of ups and downs and we've always worked through it, and I think the only way for our characters to go apart is if one of us has to kick the bucket. It's incredibly dramatic.

"It's incredibly emotional, not only for the characters, but for us as the actors, because Takaya and I have had such a good mate-ship ever since we've been here. We really understand each other."

He won't be gone for long.

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has confirmed that Aaron Brennan will return to Erinsborough next week following his disappearing act.

Aaron gets a frosty reception from Nicolette Stone following his decision to take a break from Ramsay Street when his family needed him.

Viewers have seen Aaron struggle to cope since the tragic death of his husband, David Tanaka.

Following David's funeral, Aaron became overwhelmed with grief and texted his loved ones to reveal that he wouldn't be back home for a while.

This annoyed Nicolette, who was left with the sole responsibility of looking after their daughter Isla.

Next week, David's twin brother Leo tells Nicolette that Aaron will be home in a day's time.

Nicolette remains resentful and expresses her scepticism, refusing to get Isla's hopes up in case Aaron changes his mind.

When Aaron does arrive back as promised, he makes a genuine apology to Nicolette for walking out.

Nicolette continues to show her irritation, unwilling to forgive and forget based on one apology.

Aaron defends himself by bringing up the time that Nicolette took off to Canberra when she was pregnant.

This strikes a chord with Nicolette, who concedes that everyone is capable of behaving selfishly during a difficult time.

As Aaron promises to work hard to make amends with Nicolette, can they move forward for Isla's sake?

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours fans can expect more tension between Aaron Brennan and Nicolette Stone next week.

Aaron struggles to get back on the same page with Nicolette after returning to Ramsay Street following a short break.

Last week, Aaron took time out from Erinsborough without warning as he continued to struggle following the death of his husband David Tanaka.

Nicolette was rocked by Aaron's departure, realising that she'd be left with the sole responsibility of looking after their daughter Isla.

Aaron returns to the Street in this Thursday's episode (February 29) and apologises to Nicolette for leaving her in the lurch.

The pair agree to move forward for Isla's sake and put on a united front, but a new source of tension quickly becomes apparent.

When Isla won't stop asking to see her grandfather Paul Robinson, this leaves Aaron and Nicolette concerned.

Aaron is adamant that Paul shouldn't have anything to do with Isla from now on, unable to forgive the businessman for his inadvertent role in causing David's death.

Aaron and Nicolette decide to seek advice from local doctor Remi Varga-Murphy on what to do about Isla.

Meanwhile, Paul becomes fixated on his family after his ex-wife Terese Willis suggests that they might forgive him one day.

Paul is buoyed by this ray of hope, but his new girlfriend Chelsea Murphy becomes jealous that he isn't focusing his attentions on her.

In a rare selfless move, Chelsea asks Aaron and Nicolette if they'd consider allowing Paul a visit with Isla. Aaron and Nicolette both reject the suggestion.

Later, though, Nicolette is given food for thought when Remi suggests that Isla is keen to see Paul because she associates him with David.

Nicolette starts to consider that seeing Paul could be in Isla's best interests ? risking a showdown with Aaron as she prepares to take matters into her own hands.

Neighbours' David Tanaka to 'return' in shocking phone call scene
Aaron is left shocked by the latest turn of events.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a60266219/neighbours-spoilers-david-tanaka-return-phone-call/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

David Tanaka is set to make a 'return' of sorts to Neighbours in a shocking phone call scene.

Viewers will know that the character sadly passed away last month after succumbing to injuries from a cliff fall with Eden Shaw.

In new scenes set to air next Thursday (March 28), Aaron continues to grieve in the wake of his husband's death.

While at the hospital with Nicolette ? who is there to support Krista after she is rushed in as a result of Chelsea Murphy's scheme ? Aaron admits that being there has brought back painful memories.

He struggles with the fact that he will never see his husband again, before taking a phone call that appears to have David's voice on the other end.

Is there a reasonable explanation as to what is going on, and will anyone believe Aaron?

peaking previously about his character's death, Takaya Honda explained to Digital Spy that he would like Aaron to find a new "boo" ? their affectionate nickname for one another ? in the future.

"David as a character would never want Aaron to be sad forever," he said. "I think he would expect that once Aaron got to heaven that David would still be 'the one', but he's too loving a person.

"David loves Aaron too much to want Aaron to live the rest of his life lonely and sad because David's died."

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan sparks concern from his loved ones next week after revealing that he heard the voice of his late husband David Tanaka over the phone.

A mysterious new storyline begins this week as Aaron receives an unexpected phone call and hears David's voice on the other end of the line.

Aaron turns to Nicolette Stone and Mackenzie Hargreaves for support, but he's left disappointed when they're both sceptical over his story.

While Aaron protests that he really did hear David's voice, Nicolette and Mackenzie suggest that grief is causing his mind to play tricks on him.

Aaron stands firm and insists that he had a two-way conversation with David's voice, which wasn't a hallucination or dream.

Later, Jane Harris listens more closely to Aaron's claims and reassures him that she's taking him seriously.

Jane suggests that they can work together to find a logical explanation for the mysterious phone call.

However, Jane soon faces her own crisis when an explicit video is released which claims to show her in a sexy video chat with her absent fianc? Mike Young.

This follows Nicolette giving Jane some cheeky advice on how to put the spark back into her long-distance relationship. Did Jane take these tips on board or is the video a fake?

Plus, could this be connected to Aaron's phone call and the mysterious video showing Haz Devkar trashing the caf?? All will be revealed in future episodes.

David died in tragic scenes in February following Takaya Honda's decision to bow out from the role.

Takaya told Digital Spy at the time: "I think for my mental health, it's probably good that David is killed off, just because it puts a line in the sand. I think for me there were only ever two ways that David would have left Aaron, Isla and Nicolette ? which was that he would die or that he'd go to jail.

"I think going back to jail would have been a lame thing to have happened and so death it was. The way that the show has built this story, and also executed it at such a high level, means that it hopefully will go down as one of the major deaths in Neighbours history for good reasons and not bad ones."

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has released new pictures showing Aaron Brennan getting to know Erinsborough newcomer Logan.

Logan arrives on the scene later this month after befriending Melanie Pearson on the festival circuit.

Melanie recently decided to take some time out from Ramsay Street, driving her Drinks Divas van off to festivals in a bid to boost business. She hoped to raise enough cash to be able to afford her own place once she returned.

Upcoming scenes revisit Melanie's storyline as viewers get to see her hard at work on her travels.

It's here that Melanie gets to know Logan ? and it's not long before the new character decides to join her when she returns to Ramsay Street.

Logan is then introduced to Aaron, striking up a bond with the Erinsborough barman.

Neighbours highlighted Logan as a possible new love interest for Aaron in a recent promo trailer.

Logan expresses his sympathies to Aaron following the tragic loss of his husband David Tanaka earlier this year. The pair also become running buddies.

Matthew Backer has landed the role of Logan. In an official casting announcement, Neighbours teased that Logan has a "mysterious connection" to someone on Ramsay Street.

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: "Melanie has a chance meeting with Logan during her travels and this becomes the catalyst for him to travel to Erinsborough. There's more to him than meets the eye and he hones in on Aaron, but it's not a conventional romantic storyline.

"Aaron certainly isn't in the market to meet anyone. The story takes some very unexpected turns, which I don't think the audience will see coming."

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan makes a big decision next week after being offered the chance to buy back his old home.

Aaron is left reminiscing over his past after Leo Tanaka asks whether he'd like to become the new owner of Number 32.

Leo is currently facing a financial crisis after his vineyard business was implicated in the Erinsborough poisoning scandal.

With his main source of income now in jeopardy, Leo has decided to sell the share house where Byron Stone, Mackenzie Hargreaves, Haz Devkar and Krista Sinclair currently live.

In upcoming scenes, Aaron decides to make a formal offer on Number 32, inspired by his fond memories of living there with his late husband David.

Jane Harris and Nicolette Stone both question Aaron's speedy decision, wondering whether he has given it enough consideration.

Leo is surprised when he later receives a bigger offer for the house. Even though he'd still be legally entitled to accept this deal instead, he promises Aaron that he'll stick to their handshake agreement.

Later, Leo's desire to speedily finalise the house sale suddenly leaves Aaron rattled.

With the new living arrangements about to become a reality, an emotional Aaron questions his own motives for buying the house back.

He realises that this would be a step back for his grief and ultimately backs out of the deal, which frees up Leo to accept the better offer.

Byron, Mackenzie, Haz and Krista are relieved to learn that the new buyer is happy to keep them on as tenants. Sadly, the celebrations don't last for long when they realise exactly who their new landlord is.

Meanwhile, as the dust settles, Leo faces the tough reality that the house sale still won't solve his escalating financial problems.

Leo is forced to make redundancies at his business and is dismayed when customers and potential clients continue to shun his brand. How will he ever get back on track?

Neighbours has offered a first look at a new health-related storyline for popular character Aaron Brennan.

New spoiler pictures show Aaron receiving support at Erinsborough Hospital in scenes airing later this month.

Aaron appears concerned as he talks to doctor Remi Varga-Murphy, who's on duty at the time.

It's another case that's close to home for Remi, who counts Aaron as one of her Ramsay Street friends. Will she be able to help him?

Neighbours fans can expect these scenes to air towards the end of July, with more details of the plot being released nearer the time.

A short teaser billing for Monday, July 29 reads: "Aaron receives shocking news."

Meanwhile, short synopses for other upcoming episodes reveal that "Aaron faces serious repercussions" (Tuesday, July 30) and "Aaron grapples with his secret" (Thursday, August 1).

Aaron has taken centre stage in emotional scenes this year as he tragically lost his husband David Tanaka in February.

The Waterhole barman went on a downward spiral as he became consumed by grief, but he has started to get his life back on track in recent weeks.

Aaron is also currently sharing scenes with Ramsay Street newcomer Logan, a potential new love interest.

Logan has made a beeline for Aaron since arriving in Erinsborough, but he's hiding the fact that he once knew David. His true motivations haven't yet been revealed, but he'll spark suspicion in future episodes.

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: "Melanie has a chance meeting with Logan during her travels and this becomes the catalyst for him to travel to Erinsborough.

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan sparks further concern from his loved ones next week as he stubbornly refuses to stop seeing Erinsborough newcomer Logan.

Aaron has developed a tentative romantic connection with Logan over the past few weeks, oblivious to his secret agenda.

Logan once knew Aaron's late husband David Tanaka, but has gone to great lengths to keep this under wraps. Despite his best efforts, the Ramsay Street residents are growing increasingly suspicious.

Thursday's episode (July 11) sees the full truth finally exposed as Logan admits that he became obsessed with David while they were studying together years ago. The situation became so worrying that David had to get the university involved.

Despite this, Logan insists that he came to Erinsborough with pure intentions and his seemingly-heartfelt words strike a chord with Aaron.

In follow-on scenes next week, Aaron assures Nicolette Stone and Leo Tanaka that he's coping well with the Logan bombshell. He promises that he has already put the incident behind him and wants to move on.

The reality is very different, as Aaron continues to visit Logan and they bond by sharing stories of David's life.

Although Aaron is annoyed that Logan wasn't more honest from the start, he feels a strong connection with him due to their shared grief and love for David.

As they spend time together, Aaron and Logan's relationship grows ever more serious and they move in for a passionate kiss.

Melanie Pearson is outraged when she spots the pair together and accuses Logan of harassing Aaron.

Aaron steps in to explain, admitting that he's with Logan by his own choice and their connection has taken a romantic turn.

Feeling helpless, Melanie and Nicolette switch tactics by trying to reason with Logan instead, telling him that he needs to end things with Aaron.

Logan reluctantly agrees and leaves town, but is it really the last time Aaron will see him?

Neighbours confirms Aaron Brennan's new health discovery
The scenes are set to air next week.

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours is set to confirm a new health challenge for Aaron Brennan in scenes to air next week.

Aaron had recently struck up a friendship with newcomer Logan, which soon turned romantic despite finding out he used to stalk Aaron's late husband David Tanaka.

But after Melanie and Nicolette found out about their relationship, they convinced Logan to leave Erinsborough and Aaron.

In Tuesday's episode (July 30)Aaron panics after realising blood from his cut finger could've been ingested by his daughter Isla and niece Abigail.

He then begs doctor Remi for an emergency appointment, where he explains that he may have been infected with Hepatitis B from a sexual partner and is worried he could have passed it on to the girls.

Remi assures him that there is no danger to the girls, but Aaron is thrown when he learns it will be 30 days before he knows if he's been infected.

Remi tracks down Aaron's immunisation records, which are inconclusive, then suggests she run a test for the antigens, which will indicate if he has been immunised.

Aaron is grateful to Remi for going above and beyond but remains embarrassed and remorseful over sleeping with David's stalker, Logan, which he begs her to keep a secret from his family.

These scenes will air on Tuesday, July 30.

Neighbours to reveal new love interest for Aaron Brennan
One character takes an interest in Aaron.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a62509091/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-love-interest-rhett/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours is set to confirm a new love interest for Aaron Brennan.

Fans will remember Aaron tragically lost husband David Tanaka earlier this year, and his grief was later compounded after being cruelly pranked with a deep-fake call appearing to be from David.

In new scenes airing on the soap next week, however, it appears new love may be on the way for Aaron after meeting real estate agent Rhett Norman ? who appeared earlier this year as part of the Sonya?s Nursery storyline.

The new scenes begin as Aaron and Byron plan the male revue at Lassiters, and Aaron tries to pin Byron?s act down as he pushes him to show off his skills.

Byron struggles to come up with anything, though does remember a high-flying act he performed for a client while as a male escort.

However, later in the week disaster strikes as Aaron takes a fall while practising some moves. He desperately tries to hide the injury as he knows the boylesque show will fall apart without him, and claims to everyone that he has stubbed his toe.

Yet Byron sees through Aaron?s lies, as Aaron admits that the injury will likely take a while to recover from. As a solution, Byron suggests that they turn his solo routine into a double act and he will do the difficult moves himself.

The preparations continue further on in the week, as Leo desperately tries to find a final performer so that he doesn?t have to take to the stage.

Leo and Aaron then turn to Rhett, who agrees to do it as Aaron will be teaching him the choreography.

Leo suggests that Rhett?s interest around Aaron could be evidence of romantic attraction, though Aaron dismisses it.

Yet while rehearsing later on, it appears that Leo?s hunch was right.

Could something deeper be on the horizon for Aaron and Rhett?

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan to reject his new love interest
Bad news for Rhett.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a62611254/neighbours-spoilers-aaron-brennan-rejects-rhett/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan decides to turn down his new admirer Rhett Norman next week.

Aaron is currently bonding with Rhett as they work on the Boylesque event together, but it appears that he doesn't want any more than friendship for now.

Earlier this year, Rhett was introduced as an estate agent who supported Toadie Rebecchi through the sale of Sonya's nursery.

Aaron, Krista Sinclair and Melanie Pearson have since recruited Rhett to get involved in the male strip show that's coming up at Lassiters.

Rhett initially seemed nonplussed, but took a sudden interest when he realised that Aaron would be the one teaching him the dance moves.

Leo Tanaka quickly pointed out Rhett's apparent romantic interest in Aaron, and the newcomer's flirtation continued during one of the rehearsal sessions.

Next week, the Boylesque day finally arrives and Rhett takes the opportunity to make his play for Aaron.

Rhett is clearly smitten, but he's left hanging when Aaron doesn't seem ready for a new romance. This follows the loss of Aaron's late husband David Tanaka in February and his controversial connection to David's former stalker Logan more recently.

Meanwhile, there's better progress elsewhere as Wendy and Andrew Rodwell publicly rekindle their relationship during the event.

The pair's marriage has become strained since they fell out over Wendy's friendship with Quinn Lao, but the public display provides fresh hope that they can sort things out.

Elsewhere, some of the residents from Eirini Rising go ahead with their plans to oppose the Boylesque event on moral grounds.

When Susan Kennedy finds a way to undermine their protest, the event is a huge hit and organiser Krista breathes a sigh of relief.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan to share stalker fear in new romance plot
But does he have the wrong end of the stick?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a62647271/neighbours-aaron-brennan-fears-stalker/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Aaron Brennan will become increasingly concerned in upcoming scenes as Rhett Norman seemingly continues to show an interest in him.

Aaron is currently bonding with Rhett as they work on the Boylesque event together, though he doesn't want their friendship to develop into anything more and will turn down Rhett's romantic advances.

In scenes set to air on the soap next week, time is running out for Byron and Nicolette to find a new housemate at the share house.

The siblings heed Rhett's suggestion of holding an open house so they can save time by interviewing people in groups.

However, when Aaron pops around to see how things are going, he's surprised to discover that Rhett has suddenly expressed an interest in becoming a housemate himself.

With his controversial connection to David Tanaka's former stalker Logan still fresh in his mind, along with his rejection of Rhett's romantic advances, Aaron can't help feeling concerned that history could be repeating itself.

But does Aaron have the wrong end of the stick?

Elsewhere next week, Felix continues to support Holly with advice on how to handle her panic attacks.

When Karl spots the pair sharing a cosy moment together, he demands to know what's going on.

Later, Holly visits Felix at The Tram after having another panic attack. Felix helps to calm her down, but insists that she should let Karl know what's going on.

Neighbours lines up romance setback for Aaron and Rhett
Their date doesn't go to plan.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a63307035/neighbours-aaron-rhett-romance-setback/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours is set to line up a romance setback for Aaron Brennan and Rhett Norman.

Estate agent Rhett was introduced as a love interest for Aaron earlier this year, following the tragic death of Aaron's husband David Tanaka in February.

After making a play for Aaron, Rhett was disappointed when he was left hanging, as Aaron wasn't ready for a new relationship.

It seems a romance between the pair could now be on the cards, with Rhett's return being revealed in the show's recent 2025 trailer.

In scenes set to air on Monday, January 6 and Tuesday, January 7, Aaron bumps into Rhett at The Waterhole. After Rhett asks Aaron to join him for a movie, Aaron clams up and rushes back to work.

Jane later shares heartfelt advice with Aaron, pushing him to reconsider the positives of having some company after losing David.

Encouraged by Jane's words, Aaron asks Rhett out, and Rhett accepts.

The next day, Aaron's date plans are derailed when Yaz asks him to urgently collect some lights for her Lights Up event.

With Jane's support, Aaron convinces Rhett to join him in the city as he runs errands, instead of going to the cinema like they planned.

Sadly, things don't go quite to plan. Unable to navigate the city and constantly mentioning David, a panicked Aaron thinks he's ruining the date.

Luckily, Rhett realises what's happening and manages to calm Aaron's nerves, but have Aaron's actions made him take stock?

Speaking to Hospital Radio Reading, Rhett actor Liam Maguire recently opened up about his character's relationship with Aaron, sharing what the pair need to do to make things work.

"I think there is probably more that they need to know about each other, to figure out if that stuff is going to work," he said.

"I think they do have chemistry. There's more facets to Rhett and I think he probably hasn't experienced very much of Aaron either. There's other facets to Aaron that Rhett hasn't necessarily seen."

"When Rhett meets Aaron, he's in a different kind of space," Maguire continued. "He's still grieving and there's quite a lot going on for him.

"So, I think if they could figure it out, that would be great. It's whether or not they'd be able to get there, or if they just end up being great friends. I guess we'll see."
