Brad and Terese Willis's daughter Piper is finally being introduced to Neighbours.
19-year-old actress Mavournee Hazel has been cast in the role of Piper, who is the youngest daughter of the Willises.
Piper has often been mentioned on screen since the Willis family moved onto Ramsay Street in 2013, but she has never appeared until now.
The teen has been studying in Canada, but will join the rest of her family on the Street later this year.
Hazel has already started filming at Neighbours, but viewers will have to wait to find out what role Piper will play in the current drama engulfing her family.

Piper will probably be a love interest for Ben, as they are the same age.
Neighbours newcomer Piper Willis will be livening up Ramsay Street with a "quirky persona".
Actress Mavournee Hazel has spoken about her role in the show for the first time, after her casting as Piper was revealed earlier this week.
Piper is the youngest daughter of Brad and Terese Willis, who has often been mentioned on screen but has never appeared until now.
Our new shots now offer a first look at Hazel in character as Piper.
Teasing what fans can expect from the "feisty" new arrival, Hazel commented: "It's a great feeling to be rewarded with the role of Piper after years of hard work, especially when I fell in love with the character after my first audition.
"The producers and I both had the same vision of how we pictured Piper to be, and I'm so grateful that they saw her in me and trusted that I could carry her storyline and quirky persona."
Piper has been studying in Canada, but will be reunited with her family in Erinsborough next month. Show bosses have confirmed that she is a new regular for the soap.
Neighbours airs Piper's first scenes on September 16 in Australia and September 30 on Channel 5 in the UK.

So if Piper is the youngest - 16?, then what's the story behind her studying in Canada for so long? I guess some sort of school exchange - that went on for a couple of years? I'm looking to seeing how she gets on with Paige, and what she makes of the state of her parents marriage.

I agree generally but 8 yrs older is a lot at
16 and doesnt age of consent vary
between states in Australia - 17 in some ?
Or might that be the point of the story-
if it happens?

The age of consent in Australia is 16
thankyou Perdita
I did find a table after I posted.
It looks like they made the age of
consent uniform at 16 in 2007 in
Australia - prior to that it varied between
14-17 in different states.
I just wondered if it might be a new
storyline.Weve had this situation in
British soaps- where girl is below age
male is above age-usually by quite a
number of years !!
Theres quite a bit of variation between
countries still and in US it is either 16 or
18 - dependent on state.
Perhaps a notable British person should
have looked at the table before one of
his visits to US!!

We've still got a fortnight to wait until Neighbours newcomer Piper Willis arrives on UK screens, but here's a first look at the confident teen in action.
Bosses at the soap have created a special series of Hey Piper webisodes, which see the student making online video calls to some familiar faces.
The first is set in the aftermath of last year's Erinsborough tornado, featuring a very awkward conversation between Piper and her half-sister Paige Smith as they find themselves interacting for the first time.
https://youtu.be/r_ty7uH55oU
With Piper seemingly in the dark about her family's dramas, you have to feel for poor Paige as she keeps saying the wrong thing.
The second video sees Terence Donovan reprise his role as Doug Willis when Piper decides to get in touch with her grandfather for a catch-up.
Piper is hoping to brainstorm ideas for her next vlog, but could there be more on her mind?
Mavournee Hazel has been cast in the role of Piper, the youngest child of the Willises who has been busy studying in Canada.
If you want to see even more from the new arrival, check out this fun video below showing Hazel filming her spot in the Neighbours opening titles with her on-screen siblings Ariel Kaplan (Imogen) and Harley Bonner (Josh). Turns out that more work goes into those cheesy shots than we thought!

Isn't Piper supposed to be 16/17 more Ben's age , a bit to young for Tyler perhaps but hope they find some else for Tyler that isn't Paige! :p
Neighbours fans will finally meet the youngest member of the Willis family later this month, as Piper makes a long-awaited appearance.
Piper, played by Mavournee Hazel, has been away on an exchange programme in Canada for the last few years, but arrives in Ramsay Street as tensions amongst her family are higher than ever.

Piper arrives in Ramsay Street
Still reeling from the fallout of Brad's betrayal with Lauren, things go from bad to worse for the Willis family when Josh sleeps with an engaged Naomi Canning.
Terese is horrified by the discovery but is quick to turn the situation around and blame Brad for the very poor example he is setting his children. However, as a huge argument ensues, everyone is stopped in their tracks when Piper walks straight into the middle of it.
Delighted to see their youngest child, Brad and Terese temporarily put their issues to one side as they welcome Piper back, but the teenager is determined to get answers about her parents' fractured marriage.
Although Piper is keen to meet Lauren - the person she holds responsible for her parents' split - Piper instead comes face-to-face with her half-sister Paige.
Despite the difficult circumstances, the pair quickly bond, but how does Piper feel about moving to Erinsborough on a permanent basis?

Teenage turmoil
Ben and Piper take drastic measures to avoid retribution for their actions during the school fire.
Ben Kirk's life is in a spin. He's overwhelmed by guilt and remorse for the actions that he perpetrated on the night of the Erinsborough High School fire and is desperate to keep his involvement a secret fearing that he could go to jail. When Ben is involved in a life-threatening accident, he's shaken by his ordeal and recognising the plight of the victims, he finally breaks down and admits to Karl adn Susan what he did on the night of the fire.
As the Kennedys take in their grandson's confession, there's no escape for Ben when he's arrested for his actions and told that he'll have a juvenile criminal record until he's 18. When Karl and Susan add that Libby is returning from China to take Ben home to Ballarat, he's devastated at his imminent departure from Erinsborough. Meanwhile, Piper is struggling with her guilt over her involvement in the fire and when she suggests to Ben that they run away, he jumps at the chance to flee his demons.
When Karl and Susan discover that the teens have fled, an anxious search begins to track them down. Meanwhile, Ben and Piper lay low in Erinsborough as they nervously plot their next move while coming to grips with life on the run. Although sleeping rough isn't much fun, they determine to stick it out, not wanting to face the music for their actions.
When Piper makesthe shocking discovery that Ben has fractured ribs as a result of the car accident, she's hit with a sudden reality check. As a new day dawns, Piper wonders if they should abandon their plan and return home so Ben can seek treatment for his injuries.
However, Ben is resolute. As he disguises the depth of his injuries, he assures Piper that he wants to flee town. Reluctantly, Piper supports him and they leave Erinsborough, bound for an uncertain future as fugitives from justice.

To be Ned's sister she would either have to have been conceived when Ned was only a couple of months old, meaning Brad left a pregnant wife and a tiny baby, or Brad and Beth would have to have slept together again at a later stage, meaning Brad would have cheated on Terese with Beth. Not that I'd put either of these past him but I really can't remember her being referred to as anyone other than Brad and Terese's daughter.

Rebel Piper lands herself in hot water
There's a mixed reception for Piper when she returns to school this week in Neighbours.
Half her classmates celebrate her accidentally setting their high school on fire, while the other half regard her as a dangerous pyromaniac!
The attention is more than young Piper (Mavurnee Hazel) can handle. Sick of the jokes, she flees Erinsborough High and refuses to go back.
However, Tyler (Travis Burns) counsels her and suggests she come up with a unique way to rebel.
Adopting his advice, Piper returns to the school and takes on the students who had been taunting her.
How? By puling out a lighter!
Will Piper do something she'll regret?

Piper and Tyler’s friendship has blossomed since they began working together at the garage but the chemistry between them has their families wondering if their relationship could be something more.
Aaron is the first to cotton on when he helps out for the day and suggests they make an online ad to boost business. Tyler persuades Piper to break her parents’ technology ban and they have a blast filming the commercial. Picking up the vibe between Piper and his brother, Aaron confronts Tyler who denies they’re more than friends, saying Piper is a child.
Unknown to the pair, Piper has heard every word through Tyler’s microphone which is still on after filming. Seeking revenge, she uploads an unflattering version of the ad, which puts both Tyler and the garage in a bad light. Stunned, Tyler has no idea why Piper would do that.
Tyler discovers the bad ad is retribution for what he said to Aaron. He gets a chance to explain when he brings home Josh, who is dehydrated after over-exercising in an attempt to forget his troubles.
Tyler tells a hurt Piper he was trying to stop Aaron spreading rumours. The pair make up and are joking around when Terese walks in and misinterprets their behaviour. Worried about Tyler’s influence on her daughter, Terese tells him to stay away. Once again, Piper has overheard and furious, she tells Tyler how upset she is. He comforts her by saying things will take a turn for the better soon. She looks on longingly as he leaves, her feelings for him becoming something more than friendly.
Brad also catches wind of Piper’s crush when he spots her playing ‘he love me, he loves me not’ with flower petals but thinks she’s smitten with a schoolmate.
Tyler overhears Brad telling Aaron that whoever it is will have him to deal with if Piper gets heartbroken. Realising Piper’s crush is Tyler, Aaron urges him to sort it out and so Tyler tells Piper she can’t like him because of what Brad might do.
Believing that’s the only reason they can’t be together, Piper is still hopeful of a romance with Tyler, while he thinks things have been cleared up between them.

Piper's new crush
The schoolgirl has her eyes on someone in Ramsay Street.
Teen love, we’ve all been there.
In Neighbours, young Piper (Mavournee Hazel) sees to have developed, well, a little bit of a crush.
However, the object of her affections isn’t exactly someone her parents are going to be pleased about.
Piper ha fallen for the charms of Tyler (Travis Burns).
It’s pretty clear what she sees in him. He’s easy on the eye and a bit of a bad boy.
Her parents, Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and Brad (Kip Gamblin), both think he’s bad news.
So, of course, you know she’s going to rebel!
Hopefully, we get to see more of these two. Despite the age gap, sparks fly when they’re together.
It looks like Ramsay Street has a new hot couple on it’s hands!

One-sided love
A series of misunderstandings leads to heartbreak for Josh and some awkward moments for Piper and Tyler.
Since the birth of his daughter, Matilda, Josh has been struggling to get the hang of being a dad and it doesn’t help that he’s still very much in love with Amber. Fearing that he’ll never connect with his daughter if Amber and Matilda move to Queensland, Josh asks if he can come too. Touched, Amber agrees but is shocked when Josh gets carried away by the moment and kisses her.
Though Josh tries desperately to explain it meant nothing, Amber thinks otherwise. She’s concerned he’s not dealing with his post-natal depression and is confused about his feelings. Will Amber change her mind and stay or leave Ramsay Street without him?

Just like the famous lovers, Piper and Tyler face their families’ wrath over their budding romance.
They started out as friends - he supported her when she was being harassed at school and she helped him with work at the garage. Now Piper (Mavournee Hazel) is crushing hard for Tyler (Travis Burns), despite his attempts to convince her that nothing can happen between them because Brad (Kip Gamblin) would kills him if she got her heart broken.
So she’s devastated to hear he’s attending Steph’s (Carla Bonner) single’s night at The Waterhole but when he leaves early and decides to spend time with Piper instead she’s thrilled.
After Tyler compliments Piper, she gets swept up and goes in for a kiss but their secret pash is interrupted by Brad coming home. As Piper sneaks out, Tyler realises he might actually feel more for Piper than he realises.
“I think Tyler hesitates to adknowledge his feelings towards Piper because objectively their relationship would be unorthodox if it were to develop into anything beyond something platonic,” Hazel tells Soap World.
“He keeps reminding Piper of their age gap and that it can’t work between the two of them. The spontaneity and lust of the kiss forces Tyler to consider his feelings towards her.”
Meanwhile, Imogen (Ariel Kaplan) tries to prove she’s over Daniel (Tim Phillipps) by asking Tyler on a date, which he agrees to, devastating Piper.
During the date at Off Air, Imogen tries to kiss Tyler but her turns her down, fearing he’ll hurt Piper. He leaves the bar alone only to find Piper waiting there. having defied her grounding. She opens up to him and reveals she’s not quite as experienced as he might think.
After returning to the Willis house they discuss their secret kiss but Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) overhears. Furious, she bans the pair from working together at the garage and tells Tyler to keep his distance. From the way the young lovers look at each other as they walk away it’s clear they still have hope of being together.

She is too young for Tyler. Piper is 16. Tyler is 24.
Piper will probably be a love interest for Ben, as they are the same age.
She is more mature for him than Paige :p

^They waited for Piper to get a bit older IMO. I'm glad they didn't jump straight into it; I've enjoyed the slow burn. It would have been unrealistic for them to hook up straight away. Tyler is right to struggle with it, and the way she's pushing it and he's resisting shows he's a good guy and genuinely respects and cares for her..
But yeah, it's time to get it on!

Sorry I don't agree with you there. Tyler has merely been paying lip service to resisting the allure of a much younger school girl. If he was serious he'd cut off all contact as he first said he'd do, not be cosying up to her. Also, making Piper the one pushing it (whilst Tyler's apparently resisting) is putting the blame for their upcoming sexual relationship firmly on the her shoulders and exonerating him - something I find slightly distasteful... :thumbsdow

It's a common trope in fiction that a teenage girl seduces an older man who's powerless to resist. It's one step away from victim blaming given that it's the man who really has the power in the situation despite appearances to the contrary.
Of course her parents and most of the community will blame Tyler, but we viewers have been given an insight into his heroic efforts to resist her advances... :sick:
The Piper/Tyler situation isn't just dating given that she's a schoolgirl and he's a grown man. I too remember being a sixteen year old girl and I realise now I didn't always know what was good for me, and sometimes needed to be protected for my own good. The fact that we as viewers know Tyler is a decent person at heart doesn't mean it's appropriate for him to be dating a child eight years younger than him, or that Piper's parents shouldn't intervene.
I hope she at least turns seventeen before they sleep together.

I thought she was just turned 17 ???? according to various wiki sites .... whatever she is very immature. The way she jumps to the selfie blog every time she has an issue (to share with the big wide world) I just see a very immature child with no common sense on how her own actions effect others. I remember being 16/17 - the way she is being portrayed - she acts around 14/15. ..... and just to add .... in the close up shots ..... she is well older than a 17 year old.

Ooooh...I hope you're right that Piper's 17 as that would make Tyler just a little less of a creep to me. I've noticed they've recently made Piper's look older: the pink hair extension are gone and she's wearing more makeup. I agree she acts very immature though whatever her age.
Piper Willis and Tyler Brennan might be one of Neighbours' hottest couples right now, but fans shouldn't expect a wedding any time soon.
https://youtu.be/17-gKLmuVGs
Travis Burns and Mavournee Hazel, who play the popular pair, seemed somewhat horrified by the idea of their characters getting hitched and having children in the Aussie show's latest video Q&A.
"No. Piper is a strong, independent women," Hazel insisted after a fan asked if there were any plans for the couple to start a family. "Although when Tyler is around she's whipped.
"But no way, there is too much potential for her to start a family. She is 16. That is very sudden. And Piper would be a really bad mum."

The pair also discussed their kissing scenes, while Burns revealed if any of the cast members would be his groomsmen at his upcoming wedding to Emma Lane - who has appeared on the show as a guest character.
Neighbours is lining up the ultimate cringeworthy moment as Piper Willis takes revenge in spectacular style at her parents' divorce party.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) targets her half-sister Paige Smith and ex-boyfriend Tyler Brennan after discovering that they've betrayed her again by getting steamy at the garage.
After a few days of biding her time and keeping her knowledge to herself, Piper decides to get even as Brad (Kip Gamblin) and Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) celebrate the now-amicable end to their marriage.
Pretending that she wants to repair their friendship, Piper invites Tyler (Travis Burns) to attend the gathering and he agrees – blissfully unaware that she knows about his second passionate encounter with Paige and wants to get revenge publicly.

Later, the party is in full swing when Piper plays her "family slideshow" for the guests, which turns out to be CCTV footage of Paige (Olympia Valance) and Tyler having sex in the garage.
As the guests struggle to know where to look, Paige and Tyler are utterly humiliated and there's a huge reaction from everyone else too.
While Brad and Terese are furious over Piper's immature actions, local priest Jack Callahan appears hurt and storms straight out of the party. Is this another sign that he still has feelings for Paige?

I don't know why I expected better from Tyler. Paige deserves everything she gets. She doesn't care about piper at all
Remember when Piper was actually sort of mature? I get she's hurt and what Paige and Tyler done was disrespectful to her feelings, but the way Piper is dealing with it is ridiculous.
I know she's a teenager and hormones are all over the place etc, but that's not an excuse.
To play a tape of people having sex, whose parents, friends and other family are there? That's not teen angst, that's stupidity.
It's like when they ruined Paige. She came in as this really mature young women and they've made her really annoying and pathetic.

So, will on-off Neighbours couple Piper Willis and Tyler Brennan ever get back together?
It's the question that their die-hard shippers have been desperate to know the answer to in recent weeks after the dramatic events of the Erinsborough High formal drove them apart.
As ever with Neighbours, we'll have to stay tuned to see how it all plays out. But Mavournee Hazel, who plays Piper, may have dropped a hint or two when she caught up with Digital Spy this week...
Did the huge reaction to Tyler and Piper's relationship take you by surprise?
"Yeah, it did! At first, we found that a lot of people said: 'No, Tyler is too old for Piper, it's kind of weird and we don't like it'. But the more the audience saw of our relationship, the more they realised that Tyler and Piper were really clicking as a couple and it wasn't creepy.
"The fans really loved that, especially on Twitter. We were really surprised, but Travis and I both have the same ethic when it comes to social media. We interact with the fans and try to support them in return. It's like a big community, which is really lovely."
Tyler and Piper have now broken up for the time being. Do you think the Neighbours writers will take the fan reaction on board for future storylines?
"Absolutely. I definitely know that is a consideration. When audiences love or hate something, the Neighbours producers, writers and digital team absolutely take that into account when they're deciding whether or not to continue or kill a character's storyline or relationship.
"So hopefully the support is strong enough! I definitely think it is. Travis [Burns, who plays Tyler] even did a petition on Twitter and got 1,500 responses in favour of Tyler and Piper. It was crazy! He really did take that to the producers and they were taken aback by it too. They could see how much hope was invested in our relationship."
So is there anything coming up which will make the 'Typer' fans happy?
"For a while, Piper is an outcast. The writers really did give Tyler and Piper space when they broke up after the school formal, which isn't great because Tyler then went and slept with Paige!
"There is an event that pushes them closer together again, but Tyler and Piper feel like they're having to start again because so much trust was lost in their relationship – even as a friendship. So it feels like they're starting a whole new relationship again. It's like building blocks – slowly but surely they will rebuild their friendship."
Can you tell us any secrets about working with Travis Burns?
"He's so much fun to work with. As for a secret? Travis has a better skin routine than the girls at Neighbours. I'm not even kidding. He gets infra-red saunas, chemical peels... he overtakes Olympia [Valance, who plays Paige] and all of the other girls. I feel like he's got a better skin routine than most YouTube beauty gurus, to be honest!"
We know Piper takes revenge against Paige and Tyler next week by exposing their fling at a family party. Are you glad she does that, or has she taken it too far?
"Hindsight is a great thing, isn't it? At the time, Piper very much acts on impulse and that's very true to her character. All of Piper's decisions are done with her gut and her emotion. Sometimes that's great, as Tyler and Piper's relationship was one outcome of that. But for an intelligent character, Piper doesn't always think about the consequences.
"I think Paige and Tyler had to be caught out for what they were doing, though. They were lying to Piper and didn't want her to know what was going on. That's horrible – and Paige is her sister. Piper feels humiliated by what's happened, so she just wants them to feel as humiliated as she did."
How do you feel when some people on Twitter call Piper immature?
"When I first started, I was very defensive about the character, purely because I felt that her and I had a lot of similar qualities. So when people said 'I don't like Piper', I was taking it personally because I was thinking 'That's me as well, that's what I do!'
"But over time, and after being on the show for a year now, I'm realising that it doesn't mean that. Piper is definitely immature – she's 16 and she does act on impulse. The best way I can describe her is that when she's in teenage situations, she's an adult, but when she's in adult situations, she's like a kid! That sums her up."
Paige is getting a bit of a backlash from fans at the moment. Do you think it's unfair that Tyler – the male character – is almost getting off scot free?
"That's a really good point. I was even talking today to the make-up girls about this. I also said to Travis today: 'I can't remember if Tyler actually says sorry to Piper!' Piper and Paige are both saying sorry all the time for what they've done, but it's never the male's fault!
"It shows the fans' loyalty to Piper and Tyler that they see it as Paige's fault and not Tyler's. But Tyler is equally to blame – he could have said no but he didn't. Twice!"
Who do you miss most from the cast who have left Neighbours recently?
"Ari and Harley [who played Imogen and Josh]. When I first moved to Melbourne, I didn't know anyone and the Willises were really like a family to me. Ari is my best friend here in Melbourne and we still see each other outside of work. So I really miss being in the Willis house with her and getting to do breakfast scenes with her – they were so much fun.
"It's the same with Harley. I really miss him. He's over in LA at the moment doing his thing over there, but I'm still close to him outside of work."
Who from the current cast would you like to have more scenes with?
"I love working with Ryan Moloney, who plays Toadie. He's so funny and it's such a shame that our characters never cross over. When they do, I try to make the most of it because he's such a fun guy. I learn so much from him as a person and as an actor.
"I'd also like to work even more with Rebekah [Elmaloglou, who plays Terese]. Piper and Terese's relationship is really weird and I feel like a lot of younger audience members can relate to it. It's that awkward mother/daughter relationship."
We know that Piper's half-brother Ned is back on the Street next week. Will he cause a lot more drama?
"Naturally – he's a Willis! I feel like Piper learned a lot from him. Piper plays the revealing video footage of Paige and Tyler next week, but Ned also played some incriminating video footage at the Citizen of the Year award, so they're similar in that respect.
"And of course he's going to cause trouble – he's Brad Willis's son. He's going to be causing trouble in lots of different ways with lots of different people..."

True, but must have been very upsetting for her. Love can hurt so much sometimes. I'd like to see Piper back with Tyler too.
If I was Tyler I would be asking for a copy of the tape :ninja: Nothing worse for someone who is trying to humiliate you as when you roll with it and laugh .... or he could simply say "well I had a lucky escape"
Paige, well she has a twisted motive that deserves questioning, but then ex Home and Away priest boy needs to cut his man bits off if he really wants to be a priest and stop messing with the girls head as if she is some kind of religious test of his reverence to the god bloke.
I may not be a fan of the celibacy criterium in that faith as it was only enacted within the church because of nun priest interactions way way back and isnt in the bible. We may as well still be fiscally buying our time out of purgatory or purchasing the 1006th nail that held Jebus to the cross. But then the very fact that the Pope has to walk over a pit to confirm his hs man bits before he can be the pope reaks of weird reactionary riles.
Oh and Ive said this before, but Saint Susanh had already seduced a priest into her bed way back when in a story line, so this is kinda deja vous.
True, but must have been very upsetting for her. Love can hurt so much sometimes. I'd like to see Piper back with Tyler too.

Ever wondered what Neighbours teen Piper Willis is really thinking?
Well, look no further. The feisty teen takes centre stage once again in a brand new web spinoff that sees Piper 'pipe up' about the things that are bothering her the most that week.
And it isn't hard to guess what might be bothering her in this instalment.
With her friend Xanthe Canning having found herself in a frightening situation in a hotel room, Piper shared her thoughts on the situation. And also also revealed how she cheered Xanthe up in the aftermath (it's rather amusing).

© Channel 5
But that's not all. The even better news is that this web spin-off is set to become a regular feature, so make sure you check back next week to see what Piper is talking about then.
We were first introduced to Piper, played by Mavournee Hazel, in a series of Neighbours webisodes last year.
Digital Spy
We'd only chatted to her a few weeks ago, but when we caught up with Neighbours star Mavournee Hazel again this week, there was still an almost-endless list of new things to talk to her about.
Mavournee's popular character Piper Willis is heavily involved in the show's upcoming hot air balloon crash, we're still impatiently waiting for that 'Typer' reunion, and we're dying to get as much Dee Bliss gossip as we can. So take it away, Mavournee...
How did you feel about being part of the hot air balloon disaster coming up?
"I was so excited, especially knowing who else was going to be in the balloon. I really love working with Olympia Valance (Paige), Kate Kendall (Lauren) and Jodi Anasta (Elly). So as soon as I knew those were the girls I was going to be up there with, I knew it was going to be so much fun and it'd be a breeze. Literally, because we were up in the air and it was windy!
"We were all asked beforehand if we were scared of heights, but luckily none of us were. It was really exciting and we went on location for it as well – we weren't shooting it on the Neighbours lot."
Can you tell us any secrets from filming?
"We weren't in a balloon! We had the balloon pilot there with us on the day, we had the basket and we were suspended from a crane. We didn't have the balloon, but all of that has been edited in with CGI in post-production. So it was a bit weird but really exciting.
"When you see us squealing in the promo trailer, that was actually the first time we were lifted up, so it was a bit daunting looking over the edge! But it was really fun."
Neighbours does these big events around twice a year now. Is this one up there with the best?
"Absolutely. I've been here for the school fire, the explosion and now this balloon accident. I was quite involved in the explosion storyline because it led to Josh's death and the repercussions were really big afterwards.
"But this storyline I'm even more involved in, because I'm actually in the balloon. So for me this is probably the best one. And who else has done a hot air balloon crash? I know Home and Away are doing a plane crash, but there was a whole series dedicated to a plane crash – Lost! There's no TV show dedicated to a hot air balloon crash, so we're making history."
Will the episode be a tear-jerker?
"Definitely. The episode's cliffhanger is going to aggravate a lot of people. We just had a screening for it at work, and at the end of the episode, even my reaction was: 'Oh my gosh, no!'
"People's injuries in the crash really do vary. Some of us come off unscathed with a scratch and a bruise, some of us are really injured, and for some it's touch and go in a critical condition..."
You warned us a while back that there'd be a wait before any more big Piper and Tyler scenes. How have the fans been coping?
"Well, to be honest, I thought they'd start dropping off but they're still going strong. Every day I'm seeing 'Typer' things on Twitter and it just makes me so excited, because we film three months in advance and obviously I have scenes coming up with Travis [Burns] because our characters are friends again. We've seen that in scenes airing at the moment.
"And I'm just so excited for the fans to see what's to come for our relationship. Obviously it's still a soap, so there are ups and downs. But the Tyler and Piper fans will be really pleased with what's to come..."
It seemed pretty light-hearted, but you and Travis even had a Twitter argument over Tyler and Piper's break-up. And we have to say you definitely won it...
"Thank you, I totally won the argument! It did start off light-hearted, but it kind of got a bit serious. It was only supposed to be one or two comments and we were doing it at work, but it carried on when I got home and we kept fighting! But everything I was saying was completely valid, and as you said, I won."
Were you disappointed not to be involved in next week's Queensland episodes?
"Yeah! I first heard about them one day when Lilly [Van Der Meer, who plays Xanthe] came into the green room and said: 'Oh my God, I get to go back home for a storyline'. I wondered if Piper would be going but I had to stay, because the Queensland scenes were filmed at the same time as the boxing episodes.
"I had to be there for those, because that was the start of Piper and Tyler talking again and Piper being there for Paige. So unfortunately I missed out on the Queensland episodes, but maybe that means I get to go and do another better trip somewhere else."
Do you agree with Neighbours fans who think your on-screen brother Ben Hall (Ned) should be a permanent cast member?
"100%. I love Ben. He is such a beautiful person and he's such a great actor as well. So absolutely they need to bring Ben back as a permanent character.
"The Willis family is disintegrating and there's not a lot of us left, so it'd be really nice to have an older brother again. I really love the Piper/Ned relationship as well, so to have him back would be brilliant. But he's always running off."
New twin brothers Leo and David have also joined the cast this week. Are they settling in well?
"Yeah, absolutely. The boys are just so lovely. Tim [Kano, who plays Leo] is gorgeous and so is Takaya [Honda, who plays David]. They've slotted in really well. Piper doesn't really have much to do with either of them, so I've not had a chance to work with them yet. But in upcoming storylines, I might be working with one of the boys a little bit more, which is exciting."
What's it like having Madeleine West back on set as Dee Bliss?
"I actually wasn't in for the days that she was filming. It's the same whenever Gina Liano from The Real Housewives Of Melbourne is filming with us, and it was the same when Katherine Kelly Lang from The Bold and the Beautiful came on. I'm just never at work when these incredible people are here, so I haven't met Madeleine yet.
"But the Dee storyline is going to be huge. I don't think you guys are ready for it. Her return is a massive cliffhanger and it leads to a really intense storyline that old die-hard fans are going to really like. There's a lot of twists and turns."
Neighbours is on a production break at the moment – and we've heard that your old co-star Ariel Kaplan (Imogen) has been showing you the sights of London during your time off. Has she been a good tour guide?
"She has! She's been staying over here and she's really given me the essence of London, I think. Last night we were in Shoreditch and we were in Box Park. I'm doing the touristy things as well, but I also want to have a proper taste of what it's really like being here. Although maybe I need to see it in winter then, not this lovely weather we're having!
"This is my first time in the UK, but I've always been so obsessed and enthralled by it all. Everything I watch is from the UK in terms of TV shows. I don't know what it is - everyone's so cool, everyone dresses so nice, it's London, so why wouldn't you want to be here? And it's the accent - as soon as I got off the plane, you guys had me at the accent."

Neighbours stars Mavournee Hazel and Travis Burns have been teasing us for weeks by hinting that popular couple 'Typer' will be growing closer again - and finally we have some new gossip on exactly how it might happen.
Piper Willis and Tyler Brennan had a very messy break-up earlier this year, but their die-hard fans have always held out hope that they could somehow work things out again.
So the good news is that when Piper's birthday arrives early next month and everyone forgets, it's Tyler who steps in to give her a day to remember.
While Neighbours aren't giving all the details away (where would be the fun in that?), you can expect to see Tyler turn up to see Piper with a present and a plan.
He then whisks her off to a mystery location and it's fair to say that the romantic spark is still there as they enjoy spending time together.
But will this really be a full-on 'Typer' reunion at this stage, or will they just stay friends for now? That's what we'll have to tune in to find out - but we have a feeling that nothing will ever be plain sailing for this pairing.
Speaking to Digital Spy about 'Typer' fans this week, Mavournee revealed: "Well, to be honest, I thought they'd start dropping off but they're still going strong.
"Every day I'm seeing 'Typer' things on Twitter and it just makes me so excited, because we film three months in advance and obviously I have scenes coming up with Travis because our characters are friends again. We've seen that in scenes airing at the moment.
"And I'm just so excited for the fans to see what's to come for our relationship. Obviously it's still a soap, so there are ups and downs. But the Tyler and Piper fans will be really pleased with what's to come."
Let's hope so! And let's hope Piper gives everyone else on Ramsay Street a piece of her mind for forgetting her birthday, too.
Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, October 6 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

I'll never be a fan of this relationship even if it is less inappropriate now Piper's a bit older.
Even trying to put it out of my head that I found Tyler a creep to be lusting after a schoolgirl, why would she get with a man who dumped her and jumped straight into bed with her sister? And why would he get a with a girl who played revenge porn of him and said sister at a family gathering?
The whole thing is distasteful in my opinion! :sick:
Just a soap. Forbidden passion is always going to be a staple storyline. It's like criticising the sky for being blue.

It's just a reflection of real life. Women do mature emotionally quicker then men. Of course some say us men never grow up!

Typer fans listen up, because Neighbours has just released a very exciting new promo for an episode you will not want to miss.
Mavournee Hazel and Travis Burns have been teasing us for weeks by hinting that popular couple 'Typer' will be growing closer again - and it actually looks like it's going to happen tomorrow.
We already know that Piper's birthday is set to bring the duo together, but bosses hadn't exactly confirmed it would lead to their reunion.
But this new trailer pretty much confirms it.

The smitten pair seem to be very close indeed after Tyler whisks her off to a special location to mark her big day.
And if this isn't their reunion scene, then we are not sure what will be...
Speaking to Digital Spy about the big fan reaction to 'Typer', Mavournee revealed previously: "Well, to be honest, I thought they'd start dropping off but they're still going strong.
"Every day I'm seeing 'Typer' things on Twitter and it just makes me so excited, because we film three months in advance and obviously I have scenes coming up with Travis because our characters are friends again. We've seen that in scenes airing at the moment.

Neighbours makes a welcome return to our screens on Monday after a whopping five-week break, which can only mean one thing... loads more 'Typer' drama to keep us entertained.
Popular couple Tyler Brennan and Piper Willis finally reunited in the season finale week, but while fans may have rejoiced, Brad and Terese aren't quite on board the "Typer" train just yet. And could Paige's pregnancy throw a spanner in the works too?
Digital Spy recently caught up with Mavournee Hazel, who plays Piper, for some early hints on all the drama to come.
What kind of a reaction did you see when the fans found out that Tyler and Piper would reunite?
"Oh my gosh, Twitter has been insane. So many of our dedicated Typer fans couldn't wait for the episode. One girl, who's a really die-hard fan, even took the night off work so she could watch it. Another girl had a calendar with a countdown to the day of the reunion. The reaction was really exciting."
Were you both pleased with the way the reunion scenes were written?
"Absolutely. There was a time when Trav and I were speaking to the writers and they were like: 'Oh, maybe they won't get back together'. But we really, really wanted to reward the fans for their support. I think the producers felt the same way, so that's what we decided to do.
"Trav and I were really excited when we saw the scripts and how romantic the scenes were. Whenever we read our scenes, the first thing we think of is the fans and how we can milk it so they can love it even more. So hopefully the reunion was worth the wait."
Do the writers always keep the fans and their opinions in mind when plotting the storylines?
"Yes and no. When I first started on the show, the writers had already kind of plotted Piper's arc - her storylines for two or three years. But then they have more meetings and everything is plotted in more detail six months in advance.
"So huge things don't tend to change, but when you get down to the finesse of a scene, the writers do take the fans into account. Recently I was in with Stephen Vagg, who's our Head of Story, and he was like: 'Have you seen the comments on the Twitter and the Facebook pages?' So they're definitely aware of it."
So what's next for Tyler and Piper?
"We're still facing the Brad and Terese brick wall. That will forever and always be an issue. It's the only reason why we can't be together and nothing changes in that respect anytime soon, but Tyler and Piper's approach to it does change. We've been respectful and mature about it... but lust is lust and love is love."
Who's more against the relationship - Brad or Terese?
"I think despite them being divorced and resenting each other in some aspects, Brad and Terese actually have common ground when it comes to this. For Brad, Piper is his little girl and he doesn't want her to be corrupted. He also doesn't like the fact that Tyler has been with her sisters!
"Terese doesn't want to see her baby go either. It's also only her and Piper living at the house at the moment and she doesn't have much else than work going on, so she doesn't want to see Piper go into the arms of Tyler."
There are some people who think Piper is a fool to take Tyler back...
"Fair enough! (Laughs.)"
Do you think Tyler has what it takes to prove those people wrong and be a good boyfriend?
"I do. The core of Tyler, despite his small slip-ups, is that he does really care and love Piper. The foundation of their relationship is that it's a friendship and they genuinely care about each other. So he does make a good boyfriend.
"It is still quite hard because of the age difference. Piper is still at school, whereas he can go to bars and flirt with girls if he wants to, and she isn't there to supervise. But he is a good boyfriend and they're building on the trust."
Do you get involved much in Paige's baby storyline?
"Quite involved. Especially at the start of it, because when Paige and the baby storyline comes out, the first thing Piper thinks and dreads is the possibility that Tyler could be the father.
"But other things crop up in Piper's life which become even more important than her sister being pregnant. That sounds horrible now that I'm saying it out loud, but all will be revealed."
Not all couples in the show get such a big following. How much has it meant to have so much support?
"It's amazing. When the relationship first started, there was a big uproar. I think it was from the older audience, who thought it was really creepy and they weren't a fan of it. But it's really the younger audience who've taken a shine to the relationship.
"It's so important to have that, because I'm not dreading episodes airing anymore and worrying about what people will say about them. That's because of the support. It means so much to me and Trav, because we both have the same approach with how we interact with fans and we think it's really important to get back to them."
So what's the funniest Typer tweet you've ever seen?
"I couldn't narrow it down! As soon as Trav and I mentioned how much we loved the gifs and memes that people make for us, they started coming in so thick and fast.
"There's also a fan account who does these incredible sketches of the cast and she has done so many of Tyler and Piper. So that's not necessarily a funny tweet, but it's something that's always in the forefront of our minds. She's even given framed ones to Scott McGregor in the past and they're hanging up in the green room. It's so rewarding."
Have you shot any scenes with Rob Mills, who's playing the new teacher Finn Kelly?
"I actually have shot a few. Because he's at the school, we do have scenes together. We haven't shot too many so far, but he is such a lovely guy to work with. He's also a great energy to have in the green room. It was nice to have a bit of fresh air coming into the show towards the end of the year, when we all needed a bit of a morale boost."
We have to ask about Piper and Angus too. Would you ever like to see Jai Waetford back for another stint in the role?
"Oh my God, I loved Jai – I absolutely adore him. I would love for him to come back, absolutely. I really liked their on-screen relationship as well.
"Jai and I got on so well. He found out very early on into his time on Neighbours that I'm a very anxious person so whenever I get scared, I have a huge reaction – I jump and fall to the ground!
"When the episode aired when Angus and Piper slept together, Angus was copping a lot of hate. So I posted this compilation of 7 videos where he'd set up a camera and scared me. I love Jai and would love to see him back, although I'm not sure the fans would!"
Neighbours returns for its new season on Monday, January 9 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

And not quite on board the Typer train is a massive understatement. Brad and Terese are doing their very best to derail the Typer train:angry:
Piper Willis's big feud with Elly Conway is reignited on Neighbours next week as they clash angrily outside of school hours.
Trouble brews when Elly catches Piper (Mavournee Hazel) paying a secret visit to the bar where Tyler Brennan has started working, determined to keep an eye on her boyfriend.
The latest storyline for "Typer" sees Piper get hold of a fake ID in desperation, as she feels she isn't spending enough time with Tyler (Travis Burns) now that he's so busy with his new job.
Piper is also concerned about all of the flirtatious women who might want to make a pass at Tyler while he's working, so she's eager to mark her territory by staying close by.

Unfortunately, when Piper pays a very paranoid visit to the bar, it coincides with a night out that her schoolteacher Elly (Jodi Anasta) has organised at the very same venue.
Tyler is quick to warn Piper that she needs to leave before she's caught, but it's too late as eagle-eyed Elly spots her almost instantly.
Elly is annoyed enough that her fun night out with Paige Smith and Amy Williams has been interrupted, but her anger levels escalate when she spots that Piper has a fake ID.
Piper is equally livid when Elly orders her straight home and warns that they'll be picking this up at school tomorrow. Uh-oh...

Piper is so immature and I'm actually fed up of her. Everyone seems dead set on defending her actions and painting Brad and Terese as villains when really they're her parents who are looking out for her. Yes they've made mistakes but they are adults now so they can recognise how stupid their actions were and try to prevent their daughter doing the same thing. As the authority they're absolutely entitled to monitor her behaviour in this way.
Piper runs away whenever she doesn't get her way, and then expects her parents to help her with expenses. She is clearly obssessed with Tyler who, age gap aside, is pretty lame. In fact he's worse than her because he ran away from home at 25 years of age. So embarrassing. I think people like their characters because their personalities as a whole are quite funny, but that doesn't mean their actions are always justifiable.

Article on Mavournee Hazel (Piper) in the Daily Telegraph's Saturday BW Magazine:
Neighbours’ Mavournee Hazel and Rebekah Elmaloglou forge connection beyond soap set.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/bbe9bd091adb77ac1c1575afb4164495?width=1024
ONE glance at Mavournee Hazel’s Instagram page tells the story of a beautiful 21-year-old, doe-eyed and decked in designer garb, strolling through the streets of Paris on a recent holiday.
Another shot captures her in a striking evening gown, flirtatiously peeking back over her shoulder as she walks the red carpet.
A third picture shows the Neighbours star seductively licking her lips, gazing confidently down the barrel of the camera.
But the girl behind the frame is far less polished and decidedly more vulnerable than the pictures let on.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/0d9e6bbb806fde4ffecb9efb49a79534?width=650
Thrust into soap stardom at 19, Hazel has found growing into adulthood and discovering her identity in the spotlight both uncomfortable and overwhelming.
Cast as the turbulent young character of Piper, she was catapulted from a life of teenage obscurity and financial insecurity to the bright lights of fame.
Suddenly, the pay cheques began rolling in, there were red carpets to walk, and a media profile to maintain. And there was a girl from the Adelaide Hills, clinging on for dear life.
“I feel like I got thrust into this really adult world but there were a lot of things a normal 21 year-old hadn’t processed yet, and I feel like they kind of all caught up with me,” Hazel tells BW Magazine.
However, in a second stroke of luck she was cast as the onscreen daughter to Terese Willis, played by actor Rebekah Elmaloglou.
The two women clicked instantly and forged a friendship that saw Elmaloglou extend her maternal qualities far beyond the requirements of her role.
“Mav’s just one of those people I can spend time with,” says Elmaloglou, 43.
“We can talk very openly with each other. I have been there through her growing out of her teens and I made a speech at her 21st. I wasn’t planning to but I just wanted to — and I’m a terrible speech maker,” she laughs.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/4ed20a80ca997096f5898670bcd0b26f?width=316
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/f7f12e6580ae167a431da48934649a63?width=316
“There’s just a connection between us that’s really special and there is a part of her that reminds me of my little boy, Kai,” says Elmaloglou, who has a nine-year-old son with husband, Kane Baker.
Kai equally feels the connection, referring to Hazel fondly as his “sister”.
For Hazel, having a Melbourne ‘family’ while she’s away from her own, has been wonderfully grounding during years of intense self-inquiry.
“She’s given me a lot of personal advice,” says Hazel.
“We really are intertwined with each other’s personal lives just as much as we are our characters’ lives. We talk about everything. She’s helped me a lot with my sexuality.
“I’m not an overly sexual person, at all, like relationships have never been a priority for me and I keep thinking, ‘Am I broken? I don’t get it. I’m 21 and I have no interest in anyone?!’
“But she told me it was fine, it was normal, and not to label anything or myself or put myself into a box, which took a lot of the pressure off.
“People are always asking, ‘What’s Mav’s deal? Why doesn’t she like anyone? Why isn’t she ever with anyone? And I don’t know. I’m not attracted to anyone but it’s just something that I’m trying to find out myself.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/bddbcac26181cdca9616861e2ac6adc9?width=316
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/ef290af34b979a758f5828435763334c?width=316
“I don’t want to label this as my coming out because it’s definitely not that. I don’t identify as gay. I just think I’m a people person. I just fall in love with a person for who they are as a person rather than what they are born with,” she says.
Despite sharing an age-gap of more than 20 years, the women discovered they had plenty in common. Wandering the streets of Melbourne on breaks from filming, the actors began to talk increasingly openly about work, their personal lives and their struggles.
Like Hazel, Elmaloglou grew up in the spotlight, after she was cast on Home & Away at just 15.
She similarly found the daily churn and burn of filming soap opera and the pressures of being a household name took their toll, and after three years she took leave suffering from exhaustion and obsessive compulsive disorder.
In 1993, Elmaloglou left Home & Away and spent the next years starring in guest roles on A Country Practice, Pacific Drive, Water Rats and All Saints — as well as returning to Home & Away for three short stints.
However, there was frequently long stretches between gigs and money was often scarce.
“When young kids come on the show I always tell them, ‘save your money’ because they get really excited. Suddenly you’re earning good money and then bang you’re out in the real world, cleaning toilets,” says Elmaloglou.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/d9814592482f74a816af9c313d67132e?width=650
“I’ve done all sorts of things — retail, childcare, cleaning houses. So I definitely appreciate Neighbours.”
She recalls the light bulb moment five years ago, when reflecting on her happily married life and having just become a mother to her little boy, she suddenly realised there was one painfully absent element — her career.
“Finding it again was quite difficult,” says Elmaloglou.
“It’s not easy getting back into it and it’s that frustration when you’re not doing your passion job and having to do other things to make ends meet.”
Although only at the cusp of her 20s, Hazel has similarly felt the harsh financial reality of being an out-of-work actor.
She moved from her family home in the Adelaide Hills to Sydney to try her luck on the audition circuit but by the time she got the call back from Neighbours, she had just enough money left in her bank account to afford a flight to Melbourne.
If Hazel didn’t impress producers and get the gig, she would have no choice but to return to Adelaide, feeling like she’d failed.
But in a sliding doors moment, she gelled instantly with the actors at her onscreen chemistry reading and got the job.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/3c48c69234da20e9712f7aafff8d4ee7?width=650
Soon her star began to rise.
Since her first appearance in late 2015, Hazel has developed a strong fanbase both locally and in the UK, with 93,000 followers on Instagram.
She has also become fast friends with fellow Neighbours ‘"It" girl’ Olympia Valance — who was recently linked to One Direction heart-throb Niall Horan — and the girls spent the European summer together travelling through France, Spain and the UK.
But despite her envy-worthy existence, it’s the simple life Hazel craves most.
“My family call me Mawn or Mawnie, and I realised recently how much I just need to be Mawn or Mawnie sometimes,” she says, revealing she’d much rather put on a face mask and watch The Great British Bake Off than party at a fancy event.
But with Piper due to explore her most dramatic storylines yet in the next few months, it’s unlikely Hazel’s star will be fading anytime soon.
Thankfully though, should the going get too tough, she’ll have Elmaloglou by her side.
“She really is like a mum to me and I call her Mamma, I don’t call her Bek,” says Hazel.
“She understands me and the nature of my job and the industry, and the pressures and insecurities that come with it. She’s just been a mentor and a sister and a mother — she’s been incredible.

Digital Spy article:
Neighbours boss Jason Herbison confirms Piper Willis's future on the show.
Is she staying or going?
Neighbours fans will be pleased to know that Piper Willis won't be leaving anytime soon as Jason Herbison has confirmed that she'll be staying on the show for the foreseeable.
Some fans have been speculating about Piper's future on the Aussie soap, given that Olympia Valance and Travis Burns – who play her sister Paige and boyfriend Tyler – have finished filming.
However, it looks like there is no need to worry after all as show boss Jason has insisted that there is still plenty of drama for Mavournee Hazel's character in the pipeline.
"We have lots of plans for Piper so we won't be saying farewell to her any time soon," Jason said in an interview with Perfect Blend.
"I am constantly blown away by Mav's talent and couldn't be more proud of the work she's doing. Terese is such a good character too, capable of many shades, we never lack storylines for her."
Speaking about what else is coming up, Jason added: "We've just announced the return of Jane Harris – such a thrill.
"Annie pitched a story idea which I really loved. She had a personal investment in it and I think that comes through.
"Beyond this, I can say we will be bringing back a minor character from the past down the track, however played by a different actor. I think viewers will get a kick out of the direction we've gone.
"We are also planning to revamp the opening titles which I'm very excited about too."

I can't believe what an airhead piper turned into ... and she still won't accept her part to play in the destructive influence she had on the relationship.
I don't think Tyler would have dumped her if she had shown some inner strength to stand by him and wait rather than her usual tactic to run away (How many times have we revisited this story with what ever boyfriend she has).

A couple of Digital Spy articles on Piper's storyline for next week:
Neighbours' Piper Willis fights off newcomer Lockie in attempted rape storyline.
She faces a frightening ordeal next week.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a854249/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-lockie-attempted-rape/
Neighbours teen Piper Willis faces a terrifying situation next week as newcomer Lockie tries to force himself on her.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) finds herself in danger after embarking on a mission to track down a mystery participant of Erinsborough's book exchange programme, believing that this unknown person could be a kindred spirit.
Last week, viewers saw Piper get excited when she discovered that a fellow book lover had underlined various passages in copies of novels at the exchange.
In the wake of losing her boyfriend Tyler Brennan, Piper can't help feeling a connection with this individual – and she finally gets a lead when she spots new character Lockie dropping off one of her favourite books.
When Piper takes a look inside, she's delighted to see that parts of the novel have been underlined. As a result, she jumps to the conclusion that Lockie must be the person she's been searching for.
Piper later finds out that Lockie works at the Back Lane Bar and decides to follow him there to ask him about the books.
Although Lockie actually has nothing to do with the underlining, he lets Piper think that he does in the hope of taking things further with her.
Lockie soon has to come clean when Piper talks about specific themes from the books, forcing him to admit that he actually knows nothing about them.
Turning sleazy, Lockie adds that he just thought Piper wanted to hook up with him. When Piper sets Lockie straight, her strong denial angers him and he locks the door at the bar – claiming that he knows why she came here and she's going to get it.
Fortunately, Lockie is distracted when Piper receives a phone call, giving her the chance to knee him in the groin and rush to the door.
Although Piper manages to get away unharmed, she later admits to her loved ones that it was a very close call.
Piper's mum Terese and newcomer Chloe Brennan both encourage her to report the incident to the police while it's fresh in her mind, so will Lockie face the consequences of his actions?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, April 16 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
....and:
Neighbours to explore mental health storyline for Piper Willis after an emotional outburst over Tyler.
Her friends and family become worried next week.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a854253/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-mental-health/
Piper Willis's mental health becomes a cause for concern on Neighbours next week, after she lashes out at the Brennan brothers in an emotional state.
The popular character struggles to cope when she finds out that Mark and Aaron have given away Tyler's old chair following his dramatic Ramsay Street exit.
With Tyler languishing in prison, Mark and Aaron notice that Piper (Mavournee Hazel) has developed an unhealthy attachment to the chair and decide that a dose of tough love is needed here.
Wanting Piper to stop moping over her lost love, Mark (Scott McGregor) and Aaron (Matt Wilson) donate the chair to a local "trash and treasure" sale behind her back.
When Piper realises what's happened, she's devastated and demands an explanation for Mark and Aaron's cruelty.
As the argument escalates, Piper completely loses it and seems overwhelmed by her grief – leaving the Brennans feeling deeply remorseful for taking away her one source of comfort.
Although they regret their actions, the Brennans quickly realise that Piper's extreme reaction could be a sign of a bigger problem and call in doctor David Tanaka for support.
David suggests that Piper should undergo regular therapy and begin taking medication for anxiety and depression, but she stubbornly refuses to take any of his advice.
Deeply worried about her daughter, Terese later convinces Steph Scully to talk with Piper about her own experiences.
The idea works, with Piper finally opening up about everything – including how she fears she'd appear weak by taking medication.
Steph reminds Piper that mental illness is valid and there's no shame in asking for help, prompting her to finally commit to a recovery plan. Will this be a positive turning point for Piper?

Really hope they don't put Piper on anti-anxiety or depression medication if it's just depression and not something like bi-polar. Both can become extremely addictive and do more harm than good. She'd be much better off with something natural and non-addictive

Piper's break down over the chair was pretty intense. Would have been a tough scene to film
I’m personally glad they’ve added this storyline for her. It raises awareness and shows a side of anxiety that some people may not know about. The breakdown over the chair was so heartbreaking, I applaud the actress for it.
Aussieguy

I agree but not sure about putting her on SSRI's which can be extremely addictive and hard to come off. Steph's situation was much different. Putting her on something natural like Tryptophan would have been better IMO

Neighbours' Piper Willis moves on from Tyler Brennan by kissing Cassius Grady
Terese approves, but is Piper doing the right thing?
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a859694/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-cassius-grady-kiss/
Avert your eyes now, Typer fans. Here's a first look at the moment that Neighbours' Piper Willis shares a kiss with Cassius Grady next week.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) finally gives into temptation with the handsome newcomer after her family tell her that it's time to move on from her jailed ex-boyfriend Tyler Brennan.
Next week's episodes see Piper left shocked when she realises that Tyler has finally written to her from prison, despite his previous attempts to cut contact.
Piper is outraged as her mum Terese has been hiding the letter from her – a shocking truth that only comes to light when her brother Ned finds it.
When confronted, Terese is adamant that hiding the letter was the right thing – telling Piper that she needs to move on with her life and Tyler's words, whatever they may be, will only set her back.
Although Piper points out that wasn't Terese's decision to make, Ned gives her food for thought by backing Terese on this one and encouraging his sister to start living her life again.
Throwing caution to the wind, Piper opts not to read Tyler's letter and instead tracks down Cassius (Joe Davidson), wanting to see what the future holds after days of unexpected chemistry between them.
After sharing a passionate kiss with Cassius, Piper gives Terese the letter from Tyler to shred – but nosy Terese can't help reading it first. What does Tyler want?

But could there still be hope for them?
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a860189/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-cassius-grady-date/
Neighbours teen Piper Willis has her first date with newcomer Cassius Grady next week, but it doesn't go well.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) has decided that it's time to move on with her life following her devastating split from Tyler Brennan, who was jailed for murder in February.
Although Piper is keen to see how things go with Cassius (Joe Davidson), the early signs aren't good as Cassius clams up and conversation stalls on their first date.
Piper also finds herself over-sharing about Tyler, which is sure to be off-putting for Ramsay Street's handsome gardener.
In the aftermath of the disastrous date, Cassius confides in Xanthe Canning by declaring that it's obvious Piper isn't really interested in him.
After hearing this, an intrigued Xanthe is left to wonder whether her own crush on Cassius could lead to more.
Xanthe is even encouraged by Chloe Brennan, who reckons she should go for it with Cassius if it isn't going to work out with him and Piper.
Soon afterwards, however, Xanthe is stunned to see Cassius underlining a book during a moment alone.
As Xanthe realises that Cassius is Piper's mystery underliner, it seems that the pair do share a deep connection after all. Is there hope for them yet?

And it leads to another big decision.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a860709/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-tyler-brennan-letter/
Neighbours teen Piper Willis will finally read her letter from Tyler Brennan next week.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) was recently shocked to learn that she'd finally received contact from her jailed ex-boyfriend, but she eventually decided against reading the letter.
Following some advice from her loved ones, Piper decided to focus her attentions on making things work with her new love interest Cassius Grady, rather than being set back by whatever Tyler has to say.
Next week, Piper continues to spend plenty of time in Cassius's company, but when she confides in him about Finn Kelly's evil games, things hit a snag.
As Piper vents about Finn's return and the trouble he's caused for everyone on Ramsay Street, she is concerned by Cassius's muted reaction.
Wondering whether Cassius is really the right guy for her, Piper starts to wish that she had read Tyler's letter after all, rather than putting him behind her.
Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is struck by Piper's words and guiltily reveals that she kept hold of the letter without anyone else knowing.
Piper is full of anticipation as she reads what Tyler has written, but much to her dismay, it's another gentle rejection from him.
Realising that Terese was right, Piper commits to giving things with Cassius a chance. But can she really trust Erinsborough's secretive new arrival, or does he still have something to hide?

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a866311/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-terese-leo-secret/
Neighbours teen Piper Willis discovers that her mum Terese has a new boyfriend next week.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) gets very close to the truth about Terese's relationship with Leo – and it's only Chloe Brennan's intervention that stops her from finding out more.
The latest Ramsay Street drama begins when Piper arrives home early from a date with Cassius Grady, interrupting another secret meeting between Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and Leo Tanaka.
Thinking on her feet, Terese pushes Leo (Tim Kano) into the laundry room to hide and then urges Piper not to go in there, claiming that she's hidden her birthday present inside.
Later that night, Piper snoops for her supposed present and is confused when she can't find anything other than a cufflink.
Keen to hear whether Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) knows more, Piper approaches her and asks whether Terese has a secret lover.
Already aware of exactly what's going on, Chloe suggests that Piper should probably mind her own business if Terese hasn't told her yet. Will Piper agree to let it drop?
Meanwhile, Leo is highly intrigued when he discovers that his dad Paul Robinson hasn't hooked up with his new love interest Jemima because he still has feelings for Terese.
Leo later tells Terese that Jemima and Paul aren't an item after all, but chooses not to reveal the crucial detail that Paul is still holding a torch for Terese. Will Terese ever find out that Paul is still interested in her?

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a868934/neighbours-spoilers-piper-willis-pregnancy-fears/
Neighbours teen Piper Willis discovers that she could be pregnant with Cassius Grady's baby next week.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) has her world turned upside-down just days after the sad departure of her soulmate Tyler Brennan, who seeks a fresh start in Adelaide following his recent release from prison.
Early next week, Piper is surprised when Cassius's lost medallion finally resurfaces on Ramsay Street and heads off to see him in hospital, where he's recovering after being attacked.
When Piper sees Cassius (Joe Davidson), it's clear that she still loves him, but she also insists that she'll never be able to forgive his terrible behaviour.
Back home later on, Piper is confronted when her friend Xanthe Canning questions her recent fatigue and nausea. A distracted Piper then suddenly realises that her period is late and it dawns on her that she could be pregnant.
Although Xanthe urges her to take a pregnancy test for a definite answer, Piper stubbornly refuses as she's not ready to face the possibility that it could be true.
In total turmoil, Piper returns to the hospital to see Cassius (Joe Davidson), despite previously claiming that she was finished with him.
Piper keeps quiet about the chance that she's expecting Cassius's baby, but she does sit down with him to continue reading the book they began together before everything fell apart.
Is Piper willing to reconnect with Cassius if she really is having his baby?

Agree but the writers had to do something to break them up as Travis is leaving the show. And so Piper is doing & saying things that are out of character. Happens all the time. but if her and Cassius somehow get back together that would not make sense. Hopefully Cassius is gone soon, repulsive character

Neighbours teen Piper Willis gets knocked unconscious next week after coming dangerously close to catching out Alice Wells.
Piper (Mavournee Hazel) is drawn into the Rebecchi family's dark storyline as Alice desperately tries to avoid being exposed as the mother of Andrea Somers, aka Fake Dee.
Alice (Kerry Armstrong) has taken on a job as Nell's nanny as a cover for trying to destroy Toadie and Sonya's marriage.
Although her plans are playing out well, Alice panics next week when she discovers that Toadie is trying to track down Andrea's mum.
Needing to keep her true identity under wraps for as long as possible, Alice puts a new scheme into action when she hears that Toadie has been consulting with Paul Robinson's private detective, who'll deliver some important information to the law office after hours.
When Alice rushes off to intercept the sensitive information, she crosses paths with Piper and hits her over the head to avoid being caught red-handed.
With her path clear, Alice replaces the PI's document with a fraudulent one, which claims that Andrea's mother is dead.
Meanwhile, when Piper is found unconscious by her brother Ned, she's rushed to hospital and everyone assumes that she disturbed a run-of-the-mill robbery at the law office.
As everyone speculates that Piper was attacked by some juvenile delinquents, she can't help fearing there's more to it. Could Piper be a step closer to uncovering Alice's true colours?

Could this be the start of something?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a26376043/neighbours-spoilers-leo-tanaka-piper-willis-kiss/
Neighbours' Leo Tanaka makes a move on Piper Willis next week as he remains on a downward spiral over Terese and Paul.
Leo (Tim Kano) has a tough time ahead over the next fortnight, as he struggles to come to terms with Terese's decision to reunite with Paul following their own recent split.
Leo's initial reaction is to indulge in the party lifestyle as he makes the most of being free and single again, but it seems that he's only kidding himself as he hides his true feelings of heartbreak.
When Leo hits a new low by getting drunk in the middle of the day, he finds himself stumbling up the driveway to Terese's house and letting his emotions loose – loudly shouting about his hurt and anger.
Fortunately, Leo's brother David (Takaya Honda) witnesses his meltdown and tries his best to offer support.
Terese is also concerned over Leo's state of mind, but realising that she can't be the one to help him anymore, she asks Piper (Mavournee Hazel) to check up on him instead.
Piper spends time with Leo and manages to take his mind off things as they enjoy a game of pool together, which proves to be full of fun and banter.
Suddenly feeling an emotional connection to Piper, Leo takes this too far and tries to kiss her – earning himself an instant rejection from Terese's daughter.
The next morning, Leo wakes up with a hangover and deeply regrets his misguided attempts to make a move on Piper.
Piper accepts his apology and promises not to say anything to Terese, but is this really the last we've seen of the possible romantic connection between her and Leo?

Neighbours charmer Leo Tanaka leaves Terese Willis furious next week as he goes public with his new relationship.
Leo (Tim Kano) causes a stir on Ramsay Street by announcing that his latest love interest is Terese's daughter Piper.
Upcoming episodes see Leo and Piper (Mavournee Hazel) give into temptation by sleeping together. They later agree to a no-strings-attached "friends with benefits" arrangement, which quickly gets rumbled by Piper's sister Imogen.
Imogen (Ariel Kaplan) warns that she'll tell Terese what's going on unless Piper does it herself, leaving the pair with a big decision to make.
Leo suggests to Piper that they should come clean about their secret arrangement so that Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) doesn't hear it from Imogen first.
Piper agrees to think about it, but when Leo later faces the ordeal of publicly apologising to Vera Punt, he snaps and reveals his new fling in front of Piper, Terese, Paul and Vera.
Understandably, Piper is livid that Leo made such a big decision without her consent and tells him that she'll now need time to think about whether she wants to stay with him.
Terese is also unhappy about the revelation, fearing that revenge is motivating Leo's sudden interest in Piper.
Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) urges Terese not to stand in Piper's way as it'll only make Leo even more appealing to her.
Terese ignores this advice and joins forces with Imogen to continue giving Piper a hard time over her choice of lover.
Sure enough, Paul's suspicions prove correct when Terese and Imogen only succeed in pushing Piper even further towards Leo. Can the latest Willis family tensions be resolved?

Mavournee Hazel has bowed out from the show after more than three years and her final scenes air next week, as Piper reunites with her ex-boyfriend Tyler Brennan.
New tensions on Ramsay Street set the stage for Piper's departure, as she becomes suspicious over some strange behaviour from her sister Imogen (Ariel Kaplan).
When Imogen sets up secret legal meetings and starts acting cagey, Piper does some digging and realises that she has agreed to become Finn Kelly's defence lawyer.
The revelation sparks a bitter row between the siblings, but when Imogen turns the tables by calling out Piper's obvious unhappiness and lack of direction, her stern words hit a nerve.
Piper realises there may be some truth to Imogen's insinuations and she's given more food for thought when the Willis family join together to mark the three-year anniversary of Josh's death.
As Terese speaks about the importance of family and how Josh was pursuing a happy future with Amber and Matilda before he died, Piper comes to a big decision of her own – she needs to leave Erinsborough.
Determined she is making the right decision, Piper breaks off her casual relationship with Leo Tanaka, leaving him heartbroken over another failed relationship.
Piper then bids a loving farewell to her family and sets off on a new adventure, with Adelaide as her first stop. She meets up with Tyler and looks forward to a happy future with her soulmate.
Neighbours airs Piper's final episode on Wednesday, April 3 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Wonder is Mav was another victim of the budget cuts :hmm:

Doubtful. She'd be on the same wage as all those with the standard contracts. Those who've been around longer tend to get the bigger salaries. Had they axed Ryan instead of Eve, they would have both saved more money and rid of one of the worst actors on the show.
Plus, it's pretty normal for the younger actors to leave a soap to try their luck elsewhere. Hazel would be well aware of the positive feedback she's had for her performance so she probably knows she has a good chance for better things because of her talent.

Neighbours can't keep ambitious young actors now, nor should they stand in the way. The show can only be a stepping stone.
After they have finished their cycle of teen to young adult they are out of storylines until they are old enough for the family scenario (same applies to child-young teen; it's a bit different for the mid 30s onwards folk). Not sure how old Piper is meant to be, 18-19? she's been in it 3yrs or so, that's more than enough. There will be options available, and later they can always come back in a few years when a new stage of their character can be explored.

Mavournee Hazel has explained her decision to leave the show.
Hazel, who has played Piper Willis since 2015, has already filmed her final scenes, which will air next week as Piper reunites with her ex-boyfriend Tyler Brennan.
"I've never done film and I'm attracted to that," she told the Herald Sun. "I moved for a few reasons – my agent is based in Sydney and a lot of casting directors are there," she explained.
"I just have to embrace the unknown. I want to work in Australia for a bit longer before looking to go overseas.
"Internationally, people are seeing Australia as a really malleable place and I want to be here for that."
Hazel praised Neighbours for helping her "grow" as an actor and person, but added that she was "itching to learn more and challenge myself".
"You need to get in a room with casting directors and I've kind of been in hiding for three years, so it's like, 'Remember me'," she said.
Fortunately, Piper will leave on happy terms, bidding a loving farewell to her family as she meets up with Tyler and sets off on a new adventure.

Will miss Piper but best of luck to Mav she's an awesome actress and I expect she'll do well. If not she's always welcome back at Ramsay St :D

I thought her exit was very rushed but at least she is now with Tyler

Really liked her final scene with Tyler. Like something out of a RomCom:)
