View Full Version : Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson, 'Neighbours')
Paul Robinson has had something of a rollercoaster year after losing his memory, his shares in Lassiters and girlfriend Rebecca. Still, landing the role as editor of Erinsborough News should keep him occupied for at least two weeks... With filming winding down for the Christmas break and Stefan Dennis preparing his beach bag to spend the festive season by the sea, we gave the actor a ring to see how life is for the ever-popular Paul Robinson.
The year's big storyline for Paul was his memory loss. Is he a changed man?
"Yes he is, he's changed back to where he was 18 odd years ago. What he has become is the same Paul he was back then when he was a very ambitious young entrepreneur with Lassiters and Robinson Corporation. But the difference now is that he is older and wiser and therefore a lot more shrewd and a lot more careful. Post brain tumour, he is no longer evil, more ruthless than evil. Ruthless with a conscience and emotion."
There are occasional hints that he may return to his old ways. Is that fair to say?
"Oh yeah! I like to keep that boiling under the surface so that the audience will always think 'what is he up to next?'. You never quite know if he will burst out into Mr. Evil or stay as the character he is at the moment. Alan Fletcher (Karl) keeps it alive as well, by always looking out the corner of his eye and thinking 'I just don't trust you!'"
He's not been left with many allies on the street. Who would stand by him?
"Elle would definitely be the one to stand by him. Not Rebecca at the moment as they are not together. But definitely Elle. As much as all the terrible things they have done to each other, they are blood, so she is the one who cares most in the world about him. Otherwise, someone left of centre, like Toadie or Harold if he was still there, just because of the history."
Even after trying to strangle him?
"That was a moment of insanity on Harold's side - Paul was indirectly responsible for killing his family. If Harold had strangled Paul and killed him, he would have gotten off a murder rap because he could plead insanity."
What are the chances of Paul and Rebecca getting back together?
"Right at the moment, as we speak, absolutely zilcho! None at all, b*gger all! But that doesn't mean that next week they wont be together. I'm not allowed to divulge too much, but I have been in constant contact with the writers recently about the storyline. Its an ongoing thing and its going to take a lot of little windy turns along the road."
How might their relationship develop?
"I want to see Paul and Rebecca be like Ange and Dirty Den. I think Rebecca is capable of that. She plays a fiery character and is a very strong. Paul needs somebody who is absolutely there for him and adores him, but will take no s**t from him and stand up and fight as hard as she does."
Paul has had quite a history with the women, hasn't he?
"When he was Mr. Evil, the women were just toys. The Lynne story was quite sincere, but he had the good sense on the day of the wedding to tell her that he was no good. So he obviously cared about Lynne, but then she came back and haunted him."
Which relationship was the most fiery?
"The Paul and Izzy relationship was fantastic, it was very popular. Izzy was an interesting character because she was very emotional and insecure. That's what drove her evil ways. She had a bit of a soulmate in Paul, but it couldn't work in the end because they would just destroy each other."
Do you get the same sort of attention from the ladies as Paul in real life?
"Yes and no, as I've got older it has died down a bit. It was manic 15 years ago - a lot of female adulation happening there. These days its a bit more gentle, probably as I attract the 30-somethings now who are a little cooler and more sedate. Saying that, I am doing music gigs again and I was at a show the other night and the place was filled with 18 to 25-year-olds screaming. I thought that's not so bad. If I was single, man oh man!!"
There are rumours going round you may be leaving. How true are these?
"I don't have any plans to leave in the foreseeable future. I'm very happy working on the show and I know it sounds clichéd, but Paul really is a multi-dimensional character to play and I have so much fun with him. I enjoy the fact I have a full-time job but would like to try other things alongside Neighbours. I'd love to be able to a film or another show every year to satisfy my thirst as an actor."
Neighbours airs weekdays on Five at 5.30pm and is repeated on Fiver at 7pm
Neighbours legend Paul Robinson receives a setback on UK screens next week as Susan Kennedy learns of his dastardly plan to oust her as the newspaper's editor.
Paul has been scheming to take control back at the paper for the past few weeks, but with shrewd Susan (Jackie Woodburne) able to stay one step ahead of him, he's gutted to realise that all of his recent plotting has come to nothing.
Soon afterwards, Paul also reaches the end of his tether with his girlfriend and PR consultant Zoe Alexander (Simmone Jade Mackinnon), deciding to end their relationship as he feels she is getting too involved with his family.
However, realising that his niece Sophie won't be pleased with the break-up, Paul makes the mistake of lying to her by claiming that Zoe initiated the split…
Digital Spy recently caught up with Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul, to hear more about his character's big week and where things are heading for him in the coming months.
Why does Paul's scheme against Susan go so wrong?
"He asks his new publicist Zoe to organise a lunch with advertisers while Susan is away, and stipulates that the deals are only valid if he is in the editor's chair. Summer finds out and lets Susan in on the plan. It all unravels from there…"
How does Paul react to his plan failing? And what does Susan say?
"Well, this is a situation which seems to be out of his control and he certainly isn't used to this, so he doesn't like it one bit! He is struggling to remain patient and focused.
"As for Susan, she isn't one for holding back and lets Paul have it when she returns. Understandably, she is furious."
Do you think Paul will give up on his ambitions to reclaim the editor's chair now?
"Paul never gives up!"
We also see that Paul is getting fed up with Zoe seeming to interfere in his family's lives. Would you say Zoe is overstepping the mark, or is Paul just being irritable?
"That's an interesting one, because from the outside she doesn't really do anything that I think you would call interfering. I think in this case, because everything is sort of falling apart with his control over the paper and his family, he can see Zoe having some influence over Sophie - and he doesn't like it."
How does Zoe react when Paul bites the bullet and finally dumps her?
"I think she is stunned, because again she didn't really do anything that was so wrong. She's a beautiful woman, very successful and Paul has just dismissed her."
Paul tells Sophie that Zoe dumped him, but it doesn't take long for her to discover the truth… Is she angry?
"Well, I guess the last thing anyone wants is to be lied to, particularly by your uncle, so Sophie is not happy with Paul painting Zoe as the bad guy."
These are Zoe's final scenes as her guest stint comes to an end. Did you enjoy working with Simmone?
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Simmone - we had a lot of fun."
With Rebecca and Lyn out of the picture and no signs of Gail returning, would you like Paul to have a long-term love interest again anytime soon?
"I actually like Paul the playboy! He had his heart shattered by Rebecca, and that's toughened him up even more. I think it will be a while before you see him settling into another relationship, if he ever does."
How do you feel about having Patrick Harvey back on set at the moment?
"It's terrific - it's like he never left the show! He has slipped right back in."
Connor's exit in 2006 was quite a mysterious one, all involving Paul's son Robert. Do you think viewers' questions will be answered at last when Connor returns?
"He comes back for a whole lot of personal reasons which will make sense to fans…"
Here in the UK, we also have the big car crash episodes to look forward to soon. What can we expect from this huge storyline?
"The fabulous thing about it is the plethora of stories that evolve from these events. Andrew will certainly experience a drastic change in his life as a result of the accident and this will definitely impact on Paul, and you may even see a softer side for an episode or two… not long though!"
We've heard that Paul is going to be quite ruthless towards Chris as he blames him for the crash…
"Yes, it's typical Paul - someone has to pay and he decides that Chris should take all of the blame before he knows the full story."
With Ajay living on the street, are you enjoying Paul having a new rival?
"Definitely - I enjoy it when Paul is toying with someone, and at the moment it's Ajay. It also provides some light relief because not all situations are high drama - Paul's pettiness can add a lot of humour to the story."
The forums are full of speculation about a possible Paul and Priya affair. Do you think that's a possibility?
"These are two of the most unlikely people to have an affair, which is precisely why it's definitely worth watching!"
Can you give us any final hints on what you're filming at the moment?
"A lot of very intense scenes as a result of Paul's actions on those around him. Let's just say, in the coming months you'll see Paul Robinson on his worst behaviour in a long time…"

True. well said...
Stefan Dennis has revealed that he wasn't initially interested in being in the soap.
Dennis, who first joined the show in 1985 as Paul Robinson, has admitted that he was more keen on pursuing a film role.
"I didn't even want to do Neighbours. I was up for a film at the same time and was so desperate to get the role in that", he revealed to Inside Soap.
"I wasn't interested when my agent also put me forward for the Neighbours audition. I literally turned up on my push-bike looking a mess, but because I was so relaxed and didn't really care, I obviously read well, because I got the part!
"At that point, I signed on for a six-month contract and didn't think the show would last any longer than that. The irony is the film was the biggest ever box-office flop, whilst Neighbours turned out to be totally brilliant."
Dennis also revealed that it has taken him a while to feel comfortable with his alter ego's 'villain' image.
"I enjoy it now, but for ages I really fought being typecast as a bad guy. In fact, that is why I left the show all those years ago and came back to the UK.
"But in hindsight, I'm enormously pleased with the way things have turned out. I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for Paul being so shady."
The actor also admitted that he would never rule out leaving Neighbours for fellow Australian soap Home and Away.
Dennis said: "Why not? I'm an actor after all. I don't think the producers of Neighbours would be very happy about it, but never say never."
I love, love, love Paul Robinson...would like to see him back to being deliciously evil rather than just shady though :D
i never see him as a full on baddie though

Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson will return to his scheming ways as he plots to have Mason Turner put in jail, reports have revealed.
Paul, played by Stefan Dennis, strongly disapproves of his niece Kate Ramsay's blossoming relationship with Mason and seizes an opportunity to get rid of him for good, according to Australian magazine Soap World.
Later this month, UK fans will see Mason face big trouble with the law after Sonya Mitchell finally remembers his involvement in the attempted robbery at Lassiter's.
Mason needs all the help he can get as he is left facing a possible 15-year jail sentence, so he is relieved when Paul offers to assist him.
Paul agrees to pay Mason's legal fees and gets his own lawyer on board to work on the case.
In secret, however, Paul asks the lawyer to sabotage the defence - knowing that it will mean Mason stays away from the Street for a very long time.
While Ajay Kapoor (Sachin Joab) is quick to smell a rat over Paul's 'generous' behaviour, it remains to be seen whether Mason will realise what's really going on.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 6.30pm on Eleven in Australia.

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has admitted that he doesn't want his character Paul Robinson to get a new love interest anytime soon.
Paul is currently grieving for the loss of his former lover Priya Kapoor (Menik Gooneratne), who passed away after being caught up in Toadie and Sonya's wedding day explosion.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the recent storyline and Paul's future, Dennis hinted that a long-term romance isn't on the cards after Priya's death.
He explained: "Menik is a charming lady to work with, and incredibly funny with a wicked sense of humour - we will all miss her.
"Would I like Paul to get a new love interest? No, not really. It would be predictable for him to start a new relationship. I'd like him to focus on trying to rule everyone else's life!"
However, asked to name his dream storyline, the actor added: "It would be fun to see him reunited with some of his earlier wives."
The 54-year-old also praised the Neighbours team for continuing to provide a mix of Paul's good and bad sides in storylines.
He said: "I do enjoy the bad boy in Paul, but that can become very predictable if it happens continually, so I think the writers give him just the right balance he needs to keep viewers guessing what's next."

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has revealed that he would like to see Joe Mangel return to the soap.
Dennis, who plays Ramsay Street's Paul Robinson, said that he thinks a return from Mark Little, who plays Joe, would guarantee "hilarity".
When asked by Inside Soap who he would want to see return to the show, Dennis said: "Joe Mangel. There was a time back in the day when we had Henry Ramsay, Joe Mangel and Harold Bishop, and if those three were in a scene, it was guaranteed hilarity.
"We all love Harold and want to see him back, but I doubt very much that's going to happen. Mark Little has been back a couple of times already for guest stints, and last time he was here, he said he'd quite like to stay for longer."
Dennis also hinted that Paul's niece and nephew, Madison and Daniel, could turn up in Ramsay Street.
"Scott and Charlene's kids? That could be on the cards! I'm not saying it's confirmed or definitely going to happen, but it is always a possibility.
"There might be a long-lost character from Paul's life coming back soon, actually."
Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson makes the mistake of underestimating newcomer Rhiannon Bates on UK screens later this month.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) sees a new side of Rhiannon after she gives herself a sophisticated makeover, having decided that it's time to respect herself more.
With Paul clearly attracted to Rhiannon (Teressa Liane), he wastes little time before inviting her out to lunch - and even takes the liberty of booking a hotel room for them.
On the day of their date, Paul suggests skipping their meal at Charlie's and instead takes Rhiannon straight up to a Lassiter's room. However, Rhiannon has come prepared with a plan to prove that she's not as easy as the businessman thinks.
After handcuffing Paul to the bed, Rhiannon makes a hasty exit - knowing that he'll be found in the compromising position by one of his room service staff members.

Rhiannon outsmarts Paul.
By chance, it's Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner) who finds Paul in the room. However, the timing couldn't be worse for Paul as he has just found out about Mason's criminal past and has threatened to expose it unless he stays away from Kate.
Mason soon gains the upper hand by taking a photo of a humiliated Paul and threatening to make it public unless he stops causing trouble.
After some reflection, however, Mason finally realises that honesty is the best policy and tells Kate (Ashleigh Brewer) about his criminal record.
To Mason's relief, Kate accepts that he has changed since moving from Mt Isa and agrees to go on a romantic picnic date with him.
Mason is pleased to finally have things on track with Kate, but with the Lassiter's robbery still on his mind, he knows that he still has a big secret to keep…

Neighbours businessman Paul Robinson faces a tough time both professionally and personally on UK screens early next month.
A tough week for Paul (Stefan Dennis) begins when he finds his niece Kate Ramsay in bed with bad boy Mason Turner.
Paul has been against Kate and Mason's romance for quite some time, and is even more concerned when Mason's guilt over the Lassiter's robbery is revealed.
Unfortunately for Paul, it's clear that Mason (Taylor Glockner) has managed to win Kate (Ashleigh Brewer) back round again and she's still backing him every step of the way.

With Paul reeling over Kate's decision, things get even worse for him when his sister Lucy (Melissa Bell) arrives back in town.
Although Paul is pleased to see Lucy, she shocks him by revealing that she's now in charge of the whole Lassiter's chain and isn't pleased with the way he's been doing business.
With allegations of corruption casting a shadow over the company's reputation, Lucy insists that Paul should get rid of the existing hotel manager and appoint a replacement of her choice. Annoyed to be taking orders from his sister, how will Paul react?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, June 3 and Tuesday, June 4 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has said that he would be interested to see his character Paul Robinson have a relationship with Terese Willis.
Terese turned up in Ramsay Street a few months ago alongside husband Brad Willis and has worked closely alongside Paul as manager of Lassiter's Hotel.
Speaking in a Q&A session with fellow co-star Taylor Glockner (Mason Turner), Dennis said: "It's got to be somebody who can be his counterpart. Another Izzy is what we want from Paul!
"A lot of people have mentioned Sarah Beaumont and a lot of people have hinted at Terese. Wouldn't that be interesting?"
Dennis also reiterated that he would love to see Joe Mangel make a return to the show.
When asked by a fan who he would bring back to the soap, Dennis immediately said: "Joe Mangel - did I say that too quickly?
"I remember the comedy and comedic situations that used to be created by Harold, Henry and Joe. I used to be sitting on the side of the set, watching them in hysterics."

Also ahead on Neighbours, Paul Robinson's mayoral campaign comes under threat when Marty Kranic returns to Erinsborough.
Marty leaves Paul (Stefan Dennis) unnerved by turning up to threaten him on the day before the election.
Cunning Marty (Darius Perkins) reminds Paul that he knows a number of his unsavoury secrets, including how he wanted to get rid of Robbo Slade last year.

Paul is shocked to see Marty Kranic again.
Marty insists on a cash payment in return for his silence, but when Paul refuses to be blackmailed, Marty instead approaches Karl Kennedy with the offer of some incriminating evidence against Paul.
Having fought a clean fight in the mayoral race so far, will Karl be willing to play dirty in order to destroy Paul's chances?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, February 3 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
Neighbours' last remaining original cast member Stefan Dennis has interesting times ahead on screen this year as show bosses continue to delve into Ramsay Street's past.
The actor's character Paul Robinson will come face-to-face with his ex-partner Rebecca (Jane Hall) in a few weeks' time as she returns for a guest stint, while his nephew Daniel - son of Scott and Charlene - will be joining Erinsborough as a new regular.
Digital Spy recently caught up with Stefan for a chat about what's in store for Paul in Neighbours' 29th year.
Paul is showing his bad side at the moment in his election campaign against Karl. What has the story been like to play?
"It's always interesting to play Paul's bad side. I'm an actor so I'll play whatever's thrown at me, but I think any actor will tell you that it's more fun to play the villain or the baddie. There's a lot more scope and a lot more light and shade that can be explored. Obviously I'm very familiar with Paul and his dreadful ways, so I get to have a lot of fun playing around with it!"
A lot of fans like Paul's bad side but others prefer his softer moments. How easy is it to strike the right balance?
"I think Paul these days isn't a villain as such. People brand him as a villain, but I think he's just a bit of a cad who steps over people to get his own way. He's also very controlling these days. The older Paul gets, the more controlling he becomes - especially with his family.
"In Paul's mind he's not controlling anyone, as he thinks that he's protecting the people around him. That's what is at the back of Paul's mind all the time, but the rest of the world doesn't see it that way! That means he gets on the wrong side of just about everybody.
"I actually had a Twitter message the other day from someone who said they wanted to see Paul turn good again, but my answer was, 'You're in the minority unfortunately!'"
Should the local residents be worried about what Paul could have in store for them?
"You will have seen recently Paul really turning the tables on Terese and making her look like the bad guy when she'd done nothing wrong, so there's an example of how corrupt Paul's going to be and how he'll use his power if he does become mayor. He would use the power to his benefit. I'm sure he cares about the community too, but his main aim will be to use the power to his advantage."
There's been lots of speculation about Paul and Terese's rows. Do you think there could be romantic potential between them?
"We're in a soap here, so never say never! At the moment though, and certainly for the foreseeable future, the answer is definitely not. They do have a little bit of a love/hate relationship and I think deep down Paul very much respects Terese for her business acumen and ability to manage. He also respects her ability to stand up to him. Paul likes a fighter - he doesn't like weak people.
"There's a lot of tension between them, but there's also been moments when they've come together quite well. There's also been people here in Australia asking me whether Terese and Paul are going to get together. I suppose that's another family that Paul could break up - he's good at that! (Laughs.)"
Would you like Paul to have another love interest?
"It's interesting, because I actually spoke to the producers when Paul's relationship with Rebecca fell through, and I asked whether he'd have a relationship with anybody else in the near future. They said no and I told them that was good to hear, because I didn't think that Paul should be involved in any long-term serious relationship for quite some time. If he had done, it would have looked like Paul's love for Rebecca wasn't all that genuine.
"What they've got across really well is that Paul was very deeply in love with Rebecca. She was the second true love of his life - the first one being Gail. Paul was absolutely devastated when Rebecca walked out on his life. I'd say that he's going to be an unhappy bachelor for a little while yet."

Rebecca and Paul Robinson
What can we expect from Rebecca's return this year?
"Fireworks definitely! It will allude very much towards what I've just been saying about Paul and his love for Rebecca. Without giving too much away, let's just say that Paul - in his very shrewd and scheming way - actually orchestrates a whole scenario to bring Rebecca back. You'll actually be quite surprised when you find out what he's done and why he's done it…"
Melissa Bell has also returned for stints as Lucy recently. Would you like to see her back permanently?
"Oh yeah, definitely! It's always great when you get close to a cast member on the show and they come back. It was the same when Jane Hall came back as Rebecca - it was absolutely fantastic working with her again, and the same goes for Melissa.
"When Melissa first came back, she'd been away for such a long time, so I think she felt a little bit like a fish out of water for the first couple of weeks. I did my damndest to make her feel at home, as did other cast members who knew her, but you've got to remember that she really only knew myself and Tom Oliver.
"Once Melissa came back second time round, she was a lot more comfortable. My understanding is that they are going to keep bringing her back. Whether they'll bring her back for longer periods I don't know, but in theory she's Paul's boss now. It's quite funny to have Paul's little sister as his boss!"
How involved have you been in the casting process for Scott and Charlene's son Daniel?
"Very much involved! I was involved in two castings towards the end of last year - one was for the character of Daniel, and the other was for a female character who's also not on screen yet. They wanted the chemistry to be right with those characters, so I think it was very sensible for the producer and the casting director to call myself and a couple of the other cast members in to be involved in that process."
We know that Ashleigh Brewer (Kate) finished filming recently. Were you sad to see her go?
"Definitely - we became very close. Kate became like a surrogate daughter to Paul even though she was his niece. Ashleigh is such a sweet girl, and I know actors always say this about other actors, but she was fantastic to work with. Ashleigh leaves a big hole in the green room, but we're still in contact and I was talking to her on Skype just the other day!"
Late last year it was announced that Jason Herbison is the new producer of Neighbours, so how does it feel to have a new boss?
"Jason is fantastic and he's been involved with the show for a very long time. He was head storyliner for a few years, so in a way you couldn't get a better producer because he knows the show inside and out and has a great passion for it.
"Richard Jasek, who was the previous executive producer, was also really, really brilliant for the show. He had Neighbours at heart and liaised closely with Greg Barnett, who's the commissioning editor overseeing Neighbours at Channel 5. They'd contact each other across the world in the middle of the night to make sure that everything was working well. It's big shoes for Jason to fill, but he's doing it really well.
"We've also got Laurence Wilson working as associate producer now. He's basically taken over the producer's role and Jason has taken over the executive producer's role, even though different titles are being used now."
Are you sticking with Neighbours for the long haul?
"I have to say that I still love the job. The actor in me is always screaming out to do something else, but I'm very fortunate as I am still able to do other things. I get to do a bit of stage here and there and also some short films with mates. It's very difficult for me to get out of the show for any length of time, but I've got a 'time out' clause in my contract and the producers understand that.
"The good thing about Neighbours' production company Fremantle now is that they're becoming so big in the drama side of things. It's got to the stage now where they're starting to use people from Neighbours in their other shows, which is great for us as actors.
"In the past, you'd have to leave the show to do something else, but now it's possible to go off and do something else while still remaining in the show. But to answer your question, at the moment I've got three children and a nice existence that I need to finance, so I'm quite happy staying where I am for the moment!"
Neighbours' Paul Robinson will take centre stage in a shocking new storyline that will see him wrongly diagnosed with leukaemia.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) will be given the diagnosis from Erinsborough Hospital's new oncologist Nick (Damien Fotiou), who is also the brother of Terese Willis.
The story kicks off after Paul informs Nick that the planned location for a Research Centre is no longer feasible as the council received a more lucrative tender.
This comes as a huge blow to Nick who was hoping to get Paul's backing in his medical research project.
Although Nick is initially furious, he is given the idea to concoct a terrible scheme after separate conversations with an unsuspecting Terese and Karl.
While Terese attempts to calm her angry brother by warning him that Paul can't be trusted, Karl also inadvertently spurs Nick on.
Karl advises Nick that the only way to get Paul to agree to anything is to make it worth his while as there has to be something in it for him. Heeding his words, Nick spots a Blood Drive poster and immediately gets an idea.

In shocking scenes, Nick will then doctor Paul's blood test results before later approaching Paul with some devastating 'news'.
Nick will claim that after screening the blood Paul donated at the drive, it appears Paul has leukaemia and will need urgent treatment.
Fans will have to tune in to see what the future holds for Paul as he faces a dark time ahead.
Fotiou recently teased a darker side to his character Nick, saying: "He is a very interesting character. His intentions are certainly noble, however all is not what it appears, and I love the way the story unfolds - there's a lot of surprises."
Neighbours will air these scenes in the week commencing March 30 on Channel 5.

Wow!
I knew Nick was going to be sinister, but I never realized the depth of his cruelty. Terese will be devastated too.
Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson will try to find his daughter Amy Williams after receiving his false cancer diagnosis.
Scenes airing on Channel 5 later this week will see Paul wrongly diagnosed with leukaemia by scheming oncologist Nick Petrides, who is trying to trick him into supporting his new medical research project.
Nick (Damien Fotiou) embarks on the shocking scheme against Erinsborough's Mayor as he knows that Paul only ever agrees to things if there is a benefit for himself.
The villain's plan has the desired effect as Paul does start supporting his endeavours, but Nick later becomes frustrated when a decision on his new research centre is delayed.
In order to force Paul's hand to push the approval through at council level, Nick lies that his condition is worsening and he may not have long left.
Spooked by Nick's worrying words, a devastated Paul starts to put his affairs in order and invites his former rival Karl Kennedy to take over as Mayor of Erinsborough should the worst happen.
Paul also instructs Naomi Canning to start looking for his daughter Amy so he has a final chance to get to know her, but whether she can be tracked down remains to be seen.
Long-term Neighbours fans will remember that Amy previously appeared as a child character in 1988 and 1992. Paul fathered Amy with a woman named Nina Williams when they were colleagues.

Wow I remember Amy. Paul was married to Gail at the time. Some good continuity there.

Sorry to knock H&A as I watch that too. But I watch more out of habit than enjoyment these days.
After Paul collapses and is admitted to hospital, Nick tries desperately to cover his tracks but Georgia isn't fooled by him.
A devastated Paul thinks he's slowly dying of leukaemia but the truth about Dr Nick's vile act of deception is finally about to be revealed.
In a ruthless bid to find funding for his cancer research centre, Nick (Damien Fotiou) tricked Paul (Stefan Dennis) into thinking he was suffering a rare form of leukaemia.
It was a despicable act by a desperate man and Paul has so far fallen for Nick's lies hook, line and sinker.
Believing he only has a short time left to live, Paul begins getting his affairs in order and is thrilled when he finds a buyer for Lassiters.
Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) suggests caution when Paul plans to celebrate the good news but she eventually relents and agrees to allow him to go and have a drink at the bar.
When Paul suddenly collapses, it's clear he has pushed himself to hard.
Meanwhile, Nick is confident that his plan for the cancer centre is back on track.
Reassured by Georgia's (Saskia Hampele) silence that she has nothing on him, Nick is buoyed by the donations.
Karl (Alan Fletcher) is surprised when Nick insists on keeping his treatment of Paul a secret but Nick manages to fob off Karl's concerns.
However, just when Nick's cancer centre dreams are within reach, he's terrified to learn Paul has collapsed and been admitted to hospital.
Desperate to prevent his secret being revealed, Nick insists he must oversee Paul's care when his is admitted to hospital.
This triggers Georgia's suspicions about the dodgy doctor, while Karl is completely thrown by Paul's unexpected blood test results. Attempting to pre-empt their suspicions, Nick makes the baffling announcement that he has managed to cure Paul's leukaemia.
Karl is staggered by the news and Nick is convinced he'll get away with his deception but Georgia is determined to find out exactly what he is up to.
Can she uncover the truth about this dodgy doctor?
Meanwhile, there is a darker time ahead for Paul Robinson when he collapses after his cancer treatment starts to take its toll.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) has been wrongly diagnosed with leukaemia as part of a scheme concocted by Nick Petrides and is currently having chemotherapy.
Paul's shock collapse comes after Naomi Canning (Morgana O'Reilly) makes the big decision to end her relationship with Mark Brennan, deciding that she wants to be with Paul instead.

Paul begins to feel unwell
Fresh from her break-up with Brennan, Naomi finally gives Paul some news he can celebrate when she tells him that they have secured a buyer for Lassiters Hotel, which he is trying to sell.
Although Paul wants to go out and celebrate the good news in style, Naomi becomes concerned by his breathing and wants him to rest.
Despite her worries, Paul eventually manages to twist Naomi's arm and the pair head out for a drink together.
While Paul enjoys a celebratory drink at the bar with Karl and Georgia, Sheila pulls Naomi aside to confront her about Brennan, convinced that this is yet another instance of Naomi sabotaging the perfect relationship.
Despite her mother's fury, Naomi stands by her decision and takes Sheila by surprise when she blurts out that she has feelings for Paul.
However, the moment is cut short when Paul suddenly collapses whilst at the bar. Karl and Georgia quickly rush over to help him, but will he be alright?

Sonya soon gets to work on calming Amy down, pointing out that people like Paul are capable of changing for the better.
Proving her point, Sonya shows Amy a treasured drawing that she sent Paul as a child, which Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) nabbed from his desk drawer.
Realising that Paul cares much more than she thought, Amy visits her father and gives him one last chance to build a relationship with her and his grandson Jimmy.
Although all is well again, Naomi fears Paul's wrath as she has already promised to stop getting involved in his personal affairs. However, much to her shock, Paul gives her permission to interfere again in the future - she's the only reason he now has Amy and Jimmy in his life.

Neighbours producer Jason Herbison teases the Christmas storylines. He says about Paul:
Paul's life will also change in a big way by the end of the year.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s14/neighbours/news/a671005/neighbours-producer-plans-to-bring-in-brads-son-ned-one-day-we-are-keeping-him-in-reserve.html
Wonder if changes in a good or bad way? after everything Paul has been through this year with the fake cancer scheme. He could do with something good to happen.
Was expecting something Paul related for the Chrismtas storylines.
There's also the return of Dennis Dimato & Michelle Kim who will be involved in the season finale. Think Mark & Tyler could be involved in the season finale with Dimato & Michelle,
Just watched today's episode, I'm gutted that Paul and Naomi ended that way. I really hoped they could end on good terms

You're right it was a different time. Paul had the mindset of a younger, less battle weary man too.
I think Naomi was wrong to betray him with the USB information.. so is Daniel. Daniel is family, you don't do that to family.

Yeah I've watched Neighbours in the beginning, had a break for quite a few years - my husband can't believe it that I still watch it. B&B I don't think Ive ever stopped watching so I was so stoked when Ashleigh joined their team. I think the far out story lines just removes us from our own reality for a few minutes, I guess you can call it some form of meditation hahaha (getting out of your own head, LOL - well thats my story and Im sticking to it haha) The funny thing is I used to live with this girl 20 years ago, I was only 20 at the time and was watching B&B back then, I recently got in contact with her and she has seen on FB that I have liked a B&B page and she cant believe that I still watch it - she thinks I'm a complete idiot lol. But thats fine I don't really care - for me its 22 mins of neighbours and 18mins of B&B a day that I get to tune out of the hectic busy lifestyle and I love it :) but I might actually use your line to people and say its sooo bad that its good haha ;)
Neighbours schemer Paul Robinson will drive into danger as he steps up his plan to get rid of Steph Scully.
Recent episodes have seen Steph (Carla Bonner) fear for her mental health, but Paul Robinson will soon be revealed as the culprit setting her up to make it look like she is losing her grip on reality once again.
With Paul (Stefan Dennis) keen to drive Steph out of Erinsborough, he is naturally disappointed to learn that his daughter Amy is going out of her way to find her friend a new job in order for her to stay.
Concerned by Amy's loyalty along with Steph's growing bond with his grandson Jimmy, Paul soon realises that he needs to take extreme action to get Steph away from his family.

Putting his plan into action, Paul offers Steph a job at The Waterhole and switches her medication for psychotropic drugs, before sitting back to wait for her inevitable meltdown.
With Steph panic-stricken that she is having a breakdown, Paul offers to drive her to Erinsborough hospital and then on to Bendigo to see her regular doctor.
On the way to the hospital, Steph's suspicions about Paul's true motives start to grow when he lets slip the name of her doctor, before she receives a text message sent from Aaron Brennan alerting her that Paul switched her medication.
However, before Steph has time to confront him, disaster strikes when a mysterious car veers onto their path, sending them off the road.
When Paul regains consciousness, he realises that Steph has found the psychotropic pills in his jacket pocket and knows he is in a whole world of trouble. What will Steph do with her discovery?

I just watched the episode where Steph found out what Paul done and I am genuinely excited for him to get what's coming to him! I hope they just let Steph relax now!
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has teased a new romance for his character Paul Robinson, saying there are some very interesting developments for him and Terese Willis next year.
There has been a spark between the pair ever since Terese starting working at Lassiters back in 2013, but her marriage to Brad meant that they could only be friends and business partners.
However, with them both newly single following Naomi Canning's departure and Terese's marriage breakdown, viewers have been left wondering whether their friendship could develop into something more.
While a recent Neighbours trailer has suggested that the duo could be about to act on their chemistry, the return of Paul's former flame Lyn Scully may bring about further complications.
When Digital Spy asked Dennis if Paul and Terese would get together, he teased: "Yes, no, yes, no, maybe, I don't know! But yes, perhaps.
http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/13/22/1280x853/gallery_soaps-neighbours-6642-1.jpg

"It's got to be teased. It's like an itch that you've got to keep scratching until it bleeds. There is a very interesting thing coming up which I am not going to tell you, but it is to do with the relationship with Paul and Terese and what does or doesn't develop."
While Paul's love life might be looking up next year, he will have more pressing problems to contend with as he is set to lose his entire livelihood.
Episodes airing next week in the UK will see the businessman have Lassiters and the Penthouse sold from underneath him, as his ongoing dodgy dealings have far reaching consequences.
Speaking about what 2016 holds for Paul, Dennis said: "Lots of thrills and spills. He is losing his entire kingdom, his empire and he is losing it in its absolute entirety.

"In doing that, there is only one way Paul Robinson can go and that's up. I can't see him hitting the bottle or anything like that and working himself into destitution. But I think it's going to be a rusty climb in true Paul fashion.
"It's a question of whether it takes time or whether it happens overnight, and also to what capacity he is going to get things back. It would be interesting to see Paul as a pauper for a while, wouldn't it?
"We are going to see him broken, but it is going to be a fine line between emotion and wanting revenge. There are certainly going to be fireworks over the next year."

I was really gutted that he lost his Kingdom that he`s worked almost his entire life on. I hope he will be triumphant getting it back.

Sounds exciting. I like Paul, even when he's bad. Hope he does get together with Terese they could be an interesting match both in business and personal storylines.
Neighbours fans are currently seeing a darker side to Daniel Robinson, and Stefan Dennis has revealed that his character Paul is proud of the change in his nephew.
Laid-back, easy-going Daniel was brought into the show last year as the polar opposite to his uncle Paul, but recent scenes have seen him become increasingly ruthless.
Daniel's determination to be a successful businessman has already put a strain on his relationship with Imogen Willis, but he will also have an almighty altercation with Paul in episodes airing in the UK next week.
Dennis told Digital Spy: "In one sense, Paul is really, really proud of him because that is what he set out to do with Daniel in the first place.
"Paul takes these young chaps and turns them into business proteges. He did it with Dylan in a much more Machiavellian way.
"He turned Dylan [Timmins] well and truly to the dark side, whereas he has tried to prevent doing that to the same extent with Daniel.
"I think the fact that Daniel has actually started to achieve things on that career path makes Paul pleased, but on the other hand, he hasn't got control. He hasn't got control of Daniel and he is such a free-spirit anyway. Paul can't handle it and that is why they end up going to loggerheads."

Dennis went on to add that Paul's secret plans for Daniel have been in place since he first arrived in Ramsay Street last year.
He continued: "I don't know if you remember a scene when Daniel first came into the show where there was a split screen phone call. They compared the two conversations and that is when you first saw what Paul wanted to do with him."
While Daniel and Paul's relationship is set for some huge hurdles, Dennis admitted that he is enjoying working with Tim Phillipps as they explore the changes in his character.
He said: "We have great fun doing scenes and there is more to play now. It wasn't that Daniel was airy-fairy at any stage, but he was a bit light. Now there is more depth in the scenes between the two of us."
Paul hits rock bottom and Amy finds memories of the past could put her new relationship in jeopardy.
With her father Paul, down and out after going bankrupt and being placed under investigation for his dodgy council dealings, Amy decides to go into business with her dad, selling gazebos. The venture is a source of hope for Paul, who throws himself into the project, viewing it as both a way out of him money troubles and to bond with Amy. However, start-up cash is hard to find, given Paul’s situation with the bank and the locals’ unwillingness to trust him. Just when he’s about to throw in the towel, he gets an unexpected offer.
Amy (Zoe Cramond) enjoys working with Paul (Stefan Dennis), however she is concerned about his relationship with Daniel (Tim Phillipps) after their falling out over Daniel’s involvement in the investigation. To patch things up, Amy plans a surprise birthday party for her father but Daniel refuses to come because Paul is unwilling to forgive him. Amy is stunned by Paul’s behaviour, given how many times Paul has been forgiven but she is even more shocked to find out about Paul’s attempts to send Steph (Carla Bonner) insane. Once at the birthday part Amy’s harsh words see Paul hit rock bottom as he realises his daughter might not forgive him.
Meanwhile, Kyle (Chris Milligan), lends his support to the venture, assisting Amy as she gets things up and running, though Amy worries it could harm their relationship just like it did with her husband. While Kyle offers to step back, Amy draws up a contract, thinking it’s a better option. However, Kyle tears it up, saying he’s nothing like her ex, Liam and wants to help and support her.
During their discussion Kyle’s dog Bossy, starts behaving out of character. At first the pair think nothing of it until they find her in pain. They take Bossy to the vet, who can’t give any indication of what might be ailing her until tests come back. Amy reassures Kyle that she’ll help with the cost if his beloved pooch needs treatment because they’re in it together but Bossy’s illness might just cause more devastation than they realise.

Amy (Zoe Cramond) enjoys working with Paul (Stefan Dennis), however she is concerned about his relationship with Daniel (Tim Phillipps) after their falling out over Daniel’s involvement in the investigation. To patch things up, Amy plans a surprise birthday party for her father but Daniel refuses to come because Paul is unwilling to forgive him. Amy is stunned by Paul’s behaviour, given how many times Paul has been forgiven but she is even more shocked to find out about Paul’s attempts to send Steph (Carla Bonner) insane. Once at the birthday part Amy’s harsh words see Paul hit rock bottom as he realises his daughter might not forgive him.
Meanwhile, Kyle (Chris Milligan), lends his support to the venture, assisting Amy as she gets things up and running, though Amy worries it could harm their relationship just like it did with her husband. While Kyle offers to step back, Amy draws up a contract, thinking it’s a better option. However, Kyle tears it up, saying he’s nothing like her ex, Liam and wants to help and support her.
During their discussion Kyle’s dog Bossy, starts behaving out of character. At first the pair think nothing of it until they find her in pain. They take Bossy to the vet, who can’t give any indication of what might be ailing her until tests come back. Amy reassures Kyle that she’ll help with the cost if his beloved pooch needs treatment because they’re in it together but Bossy’s illness might just cause more devastation than they realise.

Stefan Dennis tell us why Paul Robinson’s down... but not out!
Neighbours is about to start transmitting on the same day in the UK as it does Australia. Is that exciting for you guys?
Yeah, it’s really great. My gosh, you’re going to find out some juicy stuff at the begining of the year. It’s going to be really good. There’s a brilliant storyline coming up almost at the very begining, which I can’t say too much about it but it’s really, really exciting. The best thing for me is that when my in-laws come over from Scotland each Chrsitmas, I won’t have to catch them up and tell them what’s going on in the show. They can start telling me, for a change!
So we pick up after the Christmas break just as Paul’s been thrown out of his penthouse and lost everything - how’s he coping?
He’s a ragged, jagged man. What cracks me up is he has nothing but he does still manage to have his Rolex watch and his diamond ring on him. He escapes with those and funnily enough his laptop. That’s a clue, isn’t it?! I wonder what’s going to happen there.. it’s set to be a very turbulent year ahead for Paul.
How does he feel about having to accept an offer from Terese to move in with her?
Ha, ha! What do you think’s going to happen there? Brad’s not around any more, after all... It’s really interesting because Rebekah Elmaloglou (Terese) and I have always said it’d be really nice if Paul and Terese didn’t get together but then we’re not the powers that be. It’s not because we don’t want to work together - we love working together - but the characters have such a good bond to their friendship. The writers haven’t told us whether they’ve got long-term or short-term plans in that direction. It would be interesting, though, I think...
Paul has to accept handouts from everyone - Amy brings him clothes from the charity shop! This is not the Paul Robinson we know! How does he find that?
It’s quite comical. He’s wearing this bug suit from the op-shop. He’s in old clothes and at first is living in the men’s shed. He’s got nowhere else to go. That’s the thing: he’s absolutely lost everything, he was annihilated in one hit.
He ends up going into business with Amy selling gazebos. Is that a way to get his fortune back?
Well, obviously a part of it is desperation because of where he’s suddenly been put but at the same time the pride, business acumen, ambition and drive he has are still there - just because he’s lost everything doesn’t mean he’s lost his capabilities. He wants to make a million bucks out of it and he intends to do it in the Paul Robinson fashion.
He ends up getting involved with dodgy Dimato, doesn’t he?
Gosh, that’s a mistake, isn’t it? There’s tears before bedtime!
Is he worried Amy’s going to find out what he’s up to because he’s pretending to her that he’s being straight down the line, isn’t he?
Yeah. I think with her he is. He’s an idiot, let’s be honest about it! Paul might be the smartest bsuinessman but he’s an idiot - he’s always trying to control. He’s a control freak. He even tries to control the most valuable and cherished things in the world: his family. That’s his big mistake. You don’t do that.
Do you think he can get closer to Amy through the business?
He’ll do anything to get any sort of relationship with her. When she first came into his life there was a little bit of animosity - to say the least! He’s basically been having to live with the guilt and try and do the penance and he’s been doing it in spades but every time he gets on the right track, bang, he does something stupid and she hates him again.
She’s not happy when she hears what Paul did to Steph, is she?
As I say, the man’s an idiot. He always thinks he can buy his way out of things and all of a sudden: uh-oh, he’s got no money so he can’t buy his way out of things!
Are you enjoying this storyline?
Yeah! When you play a character across 30 years, you become emotionally attached to a small degree and when something like this happens you do get worried. Then you realise it’s not real - me and Jackie Woodburne (Susan) were cracking up the other day as we realised this job is basically dressing up for adults!
So it’s set to be an interesting year ahead for Paul, then?
I had a chat with the producers about two or three months ago and they told me what they thinking for the next six months - and I was sitting there going, “Wow, okay, right, wow,” It’s the great thing about this job: you get to do different stuff every day. Even though it’s the same character, the same location and the same studios, it’s always new.
Grandaddy cool!
Paul might not be the best at keeping on the right side of his family but he does love his little grandson, Jimmy... “I love the fact Jimmy calls him G-dad!” Stefan laughs. “It doesn’t make me feel quite so old. That was a bit of a shock when the producers told me I was getting a grandchild - couldn’t they have held off for a couple more years?!”

Paul strikes back
Can he claw his way back from financial ruin?
Paul has hit rock bottom after his assets were frozen and he was hauled out of his penthouse under police escourt.
He’s too proud to ask anyone for help in upcoming Neighbours episodes.
However, Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) extends an olive branch and invites him to live in her house on Ramsay Street.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) feels humilated having to rely on her charity.
His main goal? Get back on top - pronto!
“Paul has lost his money and his empire,” executive producer Jason Herbison says.
“This year is about Paul reduced to nothing. “He’s determined to rebuild his empire.”
That means aligning himself with an unexpected business partner - criminal Dimato (David Serafin)!
“Dimato presents himself as a changed person,” Jason says.
“He’s out of jail and claiming to have turned over a new leaf.”
Let’s hope Paul doesn’t get in too deep with the wrong crowd!

Could love be in the air for Terese and Paul?
Terese and Paul go from being neighbours to very good friends this fortnight as they share a kiss! However, is it just a rebound fling for Terese or will it lead to more?
Poor Terese still hopes that she and estranged hubby Brad can work through their differences. So when Josh tells her that he’s seen Lauren and Brad having a cosy hug and thinks they’re back together, Terese is left devastated.
Feeling like she’s lost her man for good, Terese doesn’t know how to carry on - until Sonya tells her she needs to do something that’s going to make her feel good again.
Later, Terese is touched when Paul does her a good turn and with Sonya’s words of wisdom still on her mind, the businesswoman decides to return the favour by planting a surprise smaker oon Paul’s lips! Crikey, she’s not backwards in coming forwards!
Terese then follows up the impromptu kiss by making Paul a cheeky offer but will the randy Robinson take her up on it?
The following morning, Paul and Terese are feeling totes awks about the previous night’s encounter. However, they quickly have to put all that to one side because he’s got to prepare to appear in court over stealing Susan’s school petition. Boo!
Knowing Paul’s bad news, Terese can’t believe she threw herself at him and is gutted when she learns from Josh that he got it wrong about Brad and Lauren - they aren’t back together at all!
Ashamed at her saucy behaviour, Terese comes clean to Sonya, admitting that she tried to seduce Paul but they didn’t actually go any further. What’s she so worried ab0ut, then?
Meanwhile, smitten Paul is secretly hoping that this could be the start of something for him and Brad’s ex but his dreams of dating again are crushed when straight-talking Terese tells him they’re better off as friends. D’oh!
Following Terese’s rejection, Paul’s day gets worse when he’s delivered a harsh sentence from the magistrate, then encounters the interim mayor. Has Ramsay Street’s rogue met his match?
What happens next?
Brad and Lauren reunite. Where does that leave Terese and Paul?

I just personally don't, they genuinely make me cringe, but that could me more to do with the fact that I don't think the woman who plays Lauren has any decent acting skills :p
I don't mean to sound rude! aha That's just how I see it

I know what you mean, but I dont think she is to bad... I just think Brad and Lauren are a better fit then him and Terese.... I don't think Paul suits Terese either (although would be interesting to see), I think Matt suited her more than anyone ;)

I think Terese could make a good fit with Paul maybe when she finds out Brad and Lauren are back together she'll give Paul another chance after all. The chemistry is definitely there between Brad and Lauren and they seem happy together.

The thought of Terese and Matt did actually cross my mind! Just because it was obvious where Lauren and Brad were headed so I was purely looking at it from a "revenge" point of view if I'm gonna be honest! :p
I just don't think Lauren and Brad work, but if people like them together then obviously that's ok! haha
I hope Terese does find someone else, just not Paul! :p

I'm with you about Lauren and Brad. There were many more anti than pro Lauren and Brad posts here at SoapBoards when they first got together. Either the antis haven't posted in a while or they've succumbed to the dark side. :D
Terese deserves better than Paul. After all, it wasn't that long ago that he set Josh up with the drugs - does Terese even know about that? However, I like the chemistry between them and think they'll make an entertaining couple so I can't help but root for them.
Things are about to take a dark turn for Paul Robinson in Neighbours - and this time, he's not even guilty.
The character, played by Stefan Dennis, will be wrongly accused of causing the deadly hotel explosion in upcoming episodes.
Dennis told All About Soap magazine: "[Paul] is in a very incriminating position because he's seen going into the hotel's boiler room, which is where the explosion happens."
The actor said that some blueprints for the boiler room then turn up in Paul's briefcase, adding: "All the evidence starts pointing towards Paul being the culprit.
"He doesn't know where they've come from, but they're in his possession so everyone starts to question his innocence.
"He swears he's being framed, but he looks guilty. In typical Paul fashion, every time he tries to cover something up and look less guilty, he's actually digging himself a deeper hole!"
Asked if anyone thinks Paul is innocent, Dennis added: "Yes, his unlikely saviour in all of this is Steph. A few months ago, you would have thought she would be the last person to help Paul out - but a lot has happened and she believes he didn't do it."
We'll just have to wait and see if Paul goes down for a crime he didn't commit.
Digital Spy
Stefan Dennis interview
"Someone's definitely got it in for Paul!"
Stefan Dennis tells us why Paul's suspect number one for causing an explosion...
Where is Paul when the fire breaks out at Lassiters?
That's the big mystery! He's in a very incriminating positon because he's seen going into the hotel's boiler room, which is where the explosion happens.
Then some blueprints for the boiler room turn up in his briefcase, don't they?
Yes, all the evidence starts pointing towards Paul being the culprit. He doesn't know where they've come from but they're in his possession so everyone starts to question his innocence. He swears he's being framed but he looks guilty. In typical Paul fashion, every time he tries to cover something up and look less guilty, he's actually digging himself a deeper hole!
Is he worried?
Yes, at first he's incredulous when people accuse him but then he realise that the finger is pointing to him more. He's definitely being framed...
For once he's totally innocent!
Yes! That's the thing – of all the crimes that Paul has got away with, this one he didn't actually do but because of his past, it's making him the obvious choice to point the finger at. Everyone knows he set fire to Lassiters last time. It's not looking good...
There's even one stage when he questions if he might indirectly be responsible, isn't there?
Yes, he actually paid someone called Cecelia Saint to go and disrupt the Citizen of the Year event at the hotel because of the big rivalry between Julie Quill and Paul, who are arch-enemies. So after asking Cecelia to sabotage the event he thinks at one point that she's gone too far and that there is a chance he's indirectly responsible. He's worried about that for quite a long time – and eventually Cecelia turns out to be a nasty piece of work as well!
Who does he think is trying to frame him? Any clear suspects?
For a while he thinks it might be Mark Brennan but he's grasping at straws – he draws up this CSI-style board of all the people who he's crossed, like Victor Cleary's family because of what happened with Kate's death. Then there's Ezra Hanley, the guy who he got sacked by Quill and of course Dimato. He's got them on a list and he's ticking them off one by one but they've all got alibis!
Even Terese and Daniel think he's guilty – that can't be nice!
Yes, these two people who mean the most to him in the world don't believe him. So he isn't trying to just prove his innocence to save himself – he's also out to prove his innocence to Terese and Daniel.
How does he feel about Terese?
He's realised that he's in love with her and it breaks his heart that she doesn't trust him and thinks he is a murderer. He's also feeling awful because the explosion has big ramifications on Terese's life...
Where does Paul see his relationship with Terese going?
They're a great couple but a romance is not on the cards yet. After everything that's happened lately, it's going to take a long time for them to move forward.
Does anyone think he's innocent?
Yes, his unlikely saviour in all of this is Steph. A few months ago, you would have thought she would be the last person to help Paul out – but a lot has happened and she believes he didn't do it.
Are you enjoying this storyline?
Yes! There's been a huge cloud of secrecy around who caused the explosion. In fact, a lot of the cast didn't know who it was!
Just good friends!
While we might love the budding romance between Paul and Terese, Stefan admits he's not a massive fan of their flirting! "The audience seem to like Paul and Terese as a couple," he reveals. "Rebekah (Elmaloglou, aka Terese) and I don't really want Paul and Terese together. Instead of their problems being about business and getting one up on each other, they'd be about marriage and kids! Those two would throw each other off a cliff some days but they really respect each other, which we love!"

I love the Paul and Terese intro at the beginning of Neighbours. Terese looks really beautiful in that scene, and is lovely that she`s finally getting the chance to smile and be happy for a change.
I am really warming to the idea a Paul/Terese relationship. If anyone had asked me this this time last year I would have have said "no way". But now....I really like the idea a lot. And if it ticks off Paige in the process....so much the better.
When Paige first joined I thought she was an excellent character with tons of potential. But now with all her meddling, she really irritates me.
And while I`m on the subject....a Steph and Mark relationship plot would work very well.....especially as it would make Paige jealous. And if being in a relationship with Mark would help Steph to get her son Charlie back....so much the better.
win/win.
:D

Even Terese and Daniel think he's guilty - that can't be nice!
Yes, these two people who mean the most to him in the world don't believe him. So he isn't trying to just prove his innocence to save himself - he's also out to prove his innocence to Terese and Daniel.
How does he feel about Terese?
He's realised that he's in love with her and it breaks his heart that she doesn't trust him and thinks he is a murderer. He's also feeling awful because the explosion has big ramifications on Terese's life...
Where does Paul see his relationship with Terese going?
They're a great couple but a romance is not on the cards yet. After everything that's happened lately, it's going to take a long time for them to move forward.
Does anyone think he's innocent?
Yes, his unlikely saviour in all of this is Steph. A few months ago, you would have thought she would be the last person to help Paul out - but a lot has happened and she believes he didn't do it.
Are you enjoying this storyline?
Yes! There's been a huge cloud of secrecy around who caused the explosion. In fact, a lot of the cast didn't know who it was!
Just good friends!
While we might love the budding romance between Paul and Terese, Stefan admits he's not a massive fan of their flirting! "The audience seem to like Paul and Terese as a couple," he reveals. "Rebekah (Elmaloglou, aka Terese) and I don't really want Paul and Terese together. Instead of their problems being about business and getting one up on each other, they'd be about marriage and kids! Those two would throw each other off a cliff some days, but they really respect each other, which we love!"
All About Soap
Everyone wants to know who caused the deadly Lassiters blast and one person looks to be the guilty party - Paul.
Lives have been shattered and Erinsborough has been left shaken by the deadly explosion that ripped through Lassiters Hotel.
Now the focus has shifted to finding out who tampered with the boiler, where the shocking blast started and it seems all evidence is pointing to one of Ramsay Street’s most notorious residents - Paul Robinson.
Just when Paul (Stefan Dennis) thought things were looking up after the corruption scandal with his new motel business and finding love with Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), Paul is again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Annoyed that he’d lost the contract for the Citizen of the Year Awards to Lassiters he approached Cecilia Saint (Candice Alley) prior to the explosion to ask her to cause problems for his competitor. Now he’s worried she might have gone too far.
Could something more sinister actually be at play? It looks likely when Steph (Carla Bonner) finds plans for the Lassiters boiler room in Paul’s briefcase.
When she confronts him with the damning evidence, Paul says he’s being framed. To avoid suspicion he plays on Nene’s (Ally Fowler) feelings for him to persuade her to give the police a false alibi for him but she recounts her statement when she spots Paul locked in a passionate embrace with Terese. The next thing Paul knows he’s being hauled in for questioning.
The evidence continues to mount up when Terese realises a Lassiters CCTV file has been deleted from her computer, which Paul had access. It’s enough for the police to arrest Paul for interfering with an investigation and tampering with evidence. With almost everyone against him, Paul’s only hope is his business partner Steph Scully who at first believes he’s guilty but wanting to protect their joint venture she is willing to hear his side of the story so she visits him in jail.
A desperate Paul manages to convince Steph he’s been framed and tasks her with tracking down Cecilia Saint for a confession. Unfortunately for the business mogul, Cecilia has an alibi and plans to deny any association with Paul. This doesn’t dampen Paul’s determination to prove his innocence, however and he pleads with Steph to put the motel up as bail so that he can track down Cecilia himself.
Though Steph is conflicted about risking what was supposed to be financial security for her future, she agrees so that Paul can clear his name.
Before Paul does anything the first thing on his mind is Terese, who is at Josh’s funeral saying goodbye to her son. The service proves emotionally challenging for the entire Willis family and Paul stopping by to pay his respects just makes it worse. Especially for Terese, who is so furious that he would dare show up that she attacks him, ignoring his pleas that he wouldn’t hurt her or her loved ones.
He leaves but Terese is done with him and later confronts him with a scathing verbal assault, destroying any hope of a future reconciliation by telling Paul she hates him. As Paul is once again at rock bottom, Steph appeals to him to prove he’s innocent and not the man Terese thinks he is. With Cecilia refusing to testify, does Paul have any hope?

I know, but they could still believe him when he's so insistent it's not him. At least think "Innocent until proven guilty".
I know, but they could still believe him when he's so insistent it's not him. At least think "Innocent until proven guilty".
You are right about the "Innocent until proven guilty".
Unfortunately with Paul's past it's very difficult to believe in his innocence when he has done so many bad things. And as Daniel said about Paul that he has the 2 sides to him. Daniel said that he believes that Paul didn't mean to hurt anyone.
But you can admit that it was strange coincidence when just before the explosion Paul asked Terese and Daniel to leave Lassiteres and go to Robinson's. If we (the viewers) didn't know that Paul hasn't caused the explosion then it would be difficult for us to think he is innocent.
Another coincidence was with his briefcase, when he asked Steph not to let anyone to enter the Robinson's without a warrant and then Steph finds the boilers blueprints in it.
Paul's proven himself to be a scumbag who'll go to any lengths to get what he wants many times. It'd be almost impossible to believe someone like that innocent, especially when there's lots of circumstantial evidence against them. Plus he interfered with the case by deleting the CCTV that showed him at Lassiters.
It's a similar scenario to Aesop's Fable "The boy who cried wolf" in that the one time Paul is telling the truth nobody believes him because they've been burnt too many times by him.
The most unrealistic part of the storyline as far as I'm concerned is Steph's belief in his innocence.

I understand, but still thought some of his family would stand by him. For one I'd say Daniel, but he acted out of character before he left anyway. Obviously because he was asked to leave.

Do you remember that it was Daniel who 'helped' Paul to lose his business in the first place. If I remember well Paul disowned Daniel after that.
Therefore I cannot say that Daniel acted out of character this time. He knows that Paul has got 2 sides.

Yes I remember. Daniel has acted out of character for a while. Probably since he banged his head!
Yes I remember. Daniel has acted out of character for a while. Probably since he banged his head!
It is the paradox...as it seems Paul liked the change in Daniel. He liked Daniel turning to the darker side. But it means that Daniel doesn't believe in Paul's innocence after the change in his character. Does Paul still enjoy the change in Daniel???
Below I found a spolier posted here in December last year:
Neighbours fans are currently seeing a darker side to Daniel Robinson, and Stefan Dennis has revealed that his character Paul is proud of the change in his nephew.
Laid-back, easy-going Daniel was brought into the show last year as the polar opposite to his uncle Paul, but recent scenes have seen him become increasingly ruthless.
Daniel's determination to be a successful businessman has already put a strain on his relationship with Imogen Willis, but he will also have an almighty altercation with Paul in episodes airing in the UK next week.
Dennis told Digital Spy: "In one sense, Paul is really, really proud of him because that is what he set out to do with Daniel in the first place.*"Paul takes these young chaps and turns them into business proteges. He did it with Dylan in a much more Machiavellian way.*
"He turned Dylan [Timmins] well and truly to the dark side, whereas he has tried to prevent doing that to the same extent with Daniel.*"I think the fact that Daniel has actually started to achieve things on that career path makes Paul pleased, but on the other hand, he hasn't got control. He hasn't got control of Daniel and he is such a free-spirit anyway. Paul can't handle it and that is why they end up going to loggerheads."
Dennis went on to add that Paul's secret plans for Daniel have been in place since he first arrived in Ramsay Street last year.He continued: "I don't know if you remember a scene when Daniel first came into the show where there was a split screen phone call. They compared the two conversations and that is when you first saw what Paul wanted to do with him.
"While Daniel and Paul's relationship is set for some huge hurdles, Dennis admitted that he is enjoying working with Tim Phillipps as they explore the changes in his character.
He said: "We have great fun doing scenes and there is more to play now. It wasn't that Daniel was airy-fairy at any stage, but he was a bit light. Now there is more depth in the scenes between the two of us."
Who does think that Paul caused/is involved/is responible for the explosion?

On the run
Paul is on a downward spiral as people see him as a killer - and then he’s hit by a car. The only answer is to get out of town.
Hopeless and heartbroken, Paul Robinson is at his lowest. His family and friends are convinced he is a killer and now the woman he loves has done the unthinkable to ensure he pays for what she believes he has done. Faced with jail time and the hatred of his community, Paul will turn to desperate measures in emotionally charged upcoming episodes of Neighbours.
While Piper’s (Mavournee Hazel) vlog interview with Paul (Stefan Dennis) has convinced Piper that Paul is innocent of causing the Lassiters explosion, it has infuriated her mother Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou).
Still consumed by grief over Josh’s (Harley Bonner) death in the blast, Terese thinks Paul is manipulating Piper for selfish reasons. So Terese makes a persuasive deal with Cecilia to make a false statement to police. Later Paul is once again hauled into the police station as the case against him grows.
Meanwhile, Aaron (Matt Wilson) is continuing his efforts to change the public perception of Paul by getting him to volunteer with the SES. The campaign doesn’t go down well with Nate (Meyne Wyatt) who thinks Aaron is being exploitative and he tells Paul to leave. Paul fires Aaron so that he can save his relationship with Nate but as he heads off Nate accidentally reverses his car into Paul.
An injured Paul, who thinks he deserved to be struck by the vehicle, is now at his lowest and tells Amy (Zoe Cramond) she’s better off without him, overheard by Terese who is growing increasingly guilty over her actions. After leaving hospital Paul finally hits breaking point when he sees Terese in an emotionally close moment with Walter (Greg Stone).
Knowing how down Paul has become, Amy tries to help, first by visiting him to show that she still cares and later by getting Toadie to investigate Paul’s case. Toadie only has bad news for Paul. Seeing nothing but a bleak future in prison with little love from the people he cares about, Paul does a runner. Is this the last we’ll see of Ramsay Street’s most controversial character?

SPOILERS from soaplife (there were loads but these are the main ones)
❗️Paul goes on the run before being put on trial, where some new information comes to light
I wonder what the new information will be, hopefully the truth :)
In Daily Star Sunday last week:
Paul Robinson agrees to plead guilty to causing the blast that claimed the lives of Josh Willis and his granddad Doug.
In a dramatic twist, Toadie Rebecchi persuades him to admit to the crime after taking on his case.
When they get to court everyone gets a shock - especially Toadie - when Paul goes back on his word and denies all the charges.
A source said: 'When Paul sees Terese Willis looking at him, he simply can't say he killed her son, so he pleads not guilty. It throws the court into disarray'.
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has dropped some huge clues about what is coming up for his character Paul Robinson, confirming that he will cross paths with Sheila's son Gary in prison.
It has already been confirmed that wayward Gary will be returning to the show, and his comeback is set to involve Paul - who will be sent to prison after being found guilty of causing the Lassiters explosion.
Although Paul has been desperately trying to prove his innocence, his world will fall apart in court when he is found guilty of the crime.
"He is found guilty and he goes to prison," Dennis told All About Soap. "It's a fairly harrowing moment for Paul, and I pulled out all the emotional stops for those scenes.
"You've got to remember that Paul has been in jail before, and there is no way he wants to go back there because he remembers how horrible it is. More importantly, he really doesn't want to be locked up for a crime he didn't commit.
"Jail is almost as bad for Paul as it would be for a cop: there are a lot of people inside who've got beef with him, and none of them have forgotten it."
It looks like Paul is facing a very bleak future but he will be given a lifeline when he befriends Gary - who is also serving time in the same prison.
"He meets Gary Canning, Sheila's son, and how that comes about is a bit of a surprise," Dennis added.
"I won't give too much away, but Gary almost becomes Paul's saviour in prison. He knows the ropes, so Paul looks to Gary for protection. Is he genuinely going to help Paul? You'll have to wait and see."

The first part of the Q and A with Stefan and Rebekah in now on YouTube :) very funny
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis on Paul's prison drama - and which classic characters he'd bring back
We speak to the Ramsay Street stalwart about his career on the Australian soap
http://images.radiotimes.com/namedimage/Neighbours_star_Stefan_Dennis_on_Paul_s_prison_dra ma___and_which_classic_characters_he_d_bring_back. jpg?quality=85&mode=crop&width=620&height=374&404=tv&url=/uploads/images/original/110065.jpg
So, Paul Robinson is behind bars - falsely convicted of a crime he didn't commit. Yes, Erinsborough's most unscrupulous resident is now been given a 14-year sentence despite being - for a change - wholly innocent. But what will life in prison be like? Here's actor Stefan Dennis discussing the drama ahead and revealing why he still gets a kick out of playing Paul...
So, how is Paul going to cope with jail?
He doesn’t have a pleasant time at all. Paul becomes a marked man and is told to cough up some dollars if he wants protection. He meets up with Gary Canning who, you have to remember, is in prison because of Paul. So that’s kind of a strange alliance. But Gary’s able to protect Paul, or so he thinks.
Coming up, you’ll see Paul get terribly badly beaten and Terese ends up visiting him in hospital. But he tells her that he cannot forgive her for what she did – and so we witness the end of the relationship between Terese and Paul. Or so we’re led to believe…

Are we going to be surprised when we find out who is actually responsible for the hotel explosion?
It was certainly a surprise for me. It came a bit out of the blue – I didn’t expect it to be this person. There have been some great guesses from the fans: somebody thought that Robert Robinson had escaped and was responsible! But I’m not going to tell you who did it.
What reaction do you get from the fans these days?
Everything’s died down a little bit now. Neighbours has been going on so long - we’ve just clocked over 31 years. So people are more relaxed now. It’s not like the hysteria of the 1980s.
I can walk down the street, but people will still want a selfie or an autograph. It’s more usual for them to ask for a photograph these days because everyone has a camera in their hands. Which is good because it takes less time!
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/110067.jpg?width=620
What advice would you give to the young Stefan Dennis who was just starting out on Neighbours in 1985?
I would still say to enjoy it as much as I did, but to treat it more like a business. I wouldn’t have been such a larrikin and have pissed things up against a wall so much, particularly with my music career.
Do you regret the singing?
No, I don’t have regrets. I’ve come through all that and I’ve got a beautiful family and a lovely existence in Melbourne and I’m still doing a job that I love. How can you have regrets when you had a great time doing a show that’s still successful? I couldn’t possibly regret that.
When is Neighbours at its best – when it’s doing the big stunts or concentrating on family drama?
When there’s a big explosive storyline, there’s lots of work to be done. And I don’t like having to get up too early! But, seriously, I enjoy it. The beauty of working on an ongoing serial is that you get unexpected stuff thrown at you all the time.
And it makes me laugh when fellow thespians, who don’t think I’ve got a real acting job, say that I must be bored playing the same character. And I reply that, no, I’m not. I’ve had the privilege of being able to evolve Paul as a character and do something different every single day.
Stage work is incredible, but you are playing the same part night after night. Here on Neighbours, it’s a very fast-moving environment. We get nil time to prepare, so we have to work really hard as actors. So anyone who says that we’re not real actors needs to pull their head in or get a job on a soap to see how difficult it is.
So you think that there’s a snobbery towards actors on soaps?
Well, the funny thing is that I get the last laugh. When I was younger and starting out at Neighbours, a well-known actor who shall remain nameless, said to me, “one day, you’ll get a real acting job rather than playing around on a soap”. The irony is that this actor would now crawl over broken glass to get a gig on Neighbours.
Do you feel like the show’s elder statesman?
No! I’m still young 'Steffy' in the corridors at work. Well, not so young anymore. But, really, I’m just one of the gang. None of us who have been there for a long time – Alan Fletcher, Jackie Woodburne and Ryan Moloney – think of ourselves in that way. We just go to work and have a great time with our colleagues.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/110070.jpg
Did you feel that it was a shame that Daniel had to leave in order to give Imogen a happy ending?
Well, I loved working with Tim Phillipps – we built up a really good relationship. But hopefully there is a chance that he could come back to the show…
Are there any other characters that you’d like to bring back?
I’d like to see Elle Robinson return, with Pippa Black reprising the role. It was a really wonderful relationship between Paul and his daughter. It would be good to have Izzy come back – Natalie and I used to have outrageous fun working together. And I’d love to see Joe Mangel make a reappearance. He was great.
[B]Do you like it when Neighbours gets nostalgic?
I love it. It was me that campaigned to get Des Clarke back for the 30th anniversary. That was a really good moment for Paul Keane and I – he’d been through the wringer and the two of us hadn’t seen each other for 20 years. And it’s always lovely having Melissa Bell back as Lucy. She’s become a returning character and she’ll be back soon, actually. Lucy is, of course, now the CEO of Lassiter’s Worldwide, so Paul’s little sister has done very well for herself.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/110068.jpg
And are there any more stunts coming up?
Yes, we filmed the hotel explosion before Christmas, so that storyline has now been well and truly put to bed. We’re about start filming an extremely big story that will be quite shocking, but in a different way to that previous stunt. And it’ll be a high stakes situation for one very well-loved character...

Stefan Dennis is set a role in Coronation Street, if the famous Australian actor gets his way.
The Neighbours star - who is known for playing bad boy Paul Robinson in the Australian soap - is open to the idea of ditching life Down Under and heading across to the UK if bosses of the ITV programme were to offer him a part.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "If my manager told me there was a role in the UK, I'd say, 'I'm ready, I'm here. Hey Coronation Street, I'll do that.' "
But the 57-year-old actor has admitted he'd prefer a part that is completely different to his nasty alter-ego in Neighbours.
He explained: "I don't particularly want to play a nice character but if it was an on-going show I would want to play something that is vastly different to Paul.
"But I always say to my agent, 'Put me up for something but please don't put me up for another Paul Robinson character, make sure it's something wildly different.' I always maintain that the day I get cast as a crippled 80-year- old woman in a wheelchair is the day that I've made it."
And, although he's spent most of his life in Australia, Stefan - who came across to the UK during his 11-year hiatus from Neighbours - believes he'll have no trouble picking up the Northern accent if he were to score a gig in 'Corrie'.
He added: "My dad was English and we were always brought up to speak quite well. With acting, as well, you learn to speak properly in acting as well. Sometimes when I get bit lazy and a bit tired I get a bit more Australian I think. But I'm an actor so I can turn on any accent, a common one or the American accent or dialect so you adapt to anything."

Stefan Dennis is too good for Corrie!
Neighbours welcomes back Scott and Charlene's daughter Madison Robinson next week as her uncle Paul launches another dastardly plan.
Paul is currently in prison after being wrongly blamed for causing the Lassiters explosion, but the good news is that he'll be released once the true culprit is finally exposed in dramatic scenes.
Once Paul is a free man again, he doesn't waste much time before returning to his old tricks as he becomes determined to get his life back on track.
First on Paul's agenda is to secure his share of the motel back, promising to pay Steph Scully $50,000 if she gives it back to him.
Next on Paul's to-do list is organising a tell-all interview with a trainee reporter from the West Waratah Star.
While it may seem like Paul wants to restore his reputation with the newspaper chat, it soon becomes clear that he has a hidden agenda when he gets hold of the journalist's login details for work.
After hacking into the Star's online database, Paul changes the story into a highly defamatory piece about him and then negotiates with the editor to secure a cheque for $50,000 compensation.
With the journalist also fired thanks to Paul's sabotage, the schemer manages to get Madison brought into the paper as a replacement and she is overjoyed to have the opportunity. Will Madison be a success in her new role?

Digital Spy article:
Alan Dale who played Paul Robinson's dad, Jim, has made a visit back to the Neighbours set, 25 years after Jim Robinson died.
Alan Dale returns to the Neighbours set 25 years after Jim Robinson's death.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a855905/alan-dale-neighbours-set-jim-robinson-paul-stefan-dennis/
Hollywood is full of ex-Neighbours stars who have gone international, including Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Margot Robbie and of course Alan Dale.
Alan played Jim Robinson from 1985 to 1993 but didn't leave the show on the best terms, and hasn't been shy about making his opinion known in the years since.
But he seems to have put all that behind him with a visit to the set and a selfie with his former on-screen son.
Stefan Dennis played Paul Robinson during Alan's run, and while he left around the same time in the early '90s, Paul returned almost 15 years ago and is still going strong.
https://twitter.com/dendale/status/990018122940796928/photo/1?tfw_site=DigitalSpy&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Fsoaps%2F neighbours%2Fnews%2Fa855905%2Falan-dale-neighbours-set-jim-robinson-paul-stefan-dennis%2F
"Father and son back together st the pub. Same same but slightly older... the pub's held up pretty well don't you think? #Neighbours # Dynasty," Stefan said.
And Alan posted the same snap on his own Twitter feed with a similar caption: "Back on set at 'Neighbours' with Stef after 25 years away.#Neighbours, #Dynasty."
He'd previously shared a picture of the two of them plus Stefan's wife Gail at a Victoria winery.
https://twitter.com/RealAlanDale/status/989347678130585600/photo/1?tfw_site=DigitalSpy&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Fsoaps%2F neighbours%2Fnews%2Fa855905%2Falan-dale-neighbours-set-jim-robinson-paul-stefan-dennis%2F
It's a bit of a surprise to see Alan on that Erinsborough set, given how vocal he's been about the show since he fell out with a producer way back when.
"It was sweet and the people I worked with were sweet, most of them," Alan said in 2008 of his time on Neighbours.
"But the producers were greedy and nasty. There are many examples of the things these people did and, as far as I know, are still doing.

"When you live in a country where there is not much else to do as an actor, there isn't much choice but to put up with it. But I used to fight them all the time, which is one of the reasons we parted company."
And even a couple of years ago Alan still hadn't quite let it go despite all his success in the years since, saying: "I'm happy to be out of it - look at my career."
Even if his visit does suggest he's beginning to let things slide, it'll be tricky for Jim Robinson to return, as the character died of a heart attack.

Neighbours reveals a surprising new love interest for Paul Robinson
Does this provide new hope for Leo and Terese?
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a865279/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-jemima-davies-smythe/
Neighbours fans will see Paul Robinson strike up a surprising romantic connection with Karl Kennedy's long-lost sister next week.
The Aussie soap is about to introduce Magda Szubanski in the role of Jemima Davies-Smythe, the eccentric celebrant who marries David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan this week.
Jemima is also the half-sibling of Karl and starts getting to know him over the next few days, despite previously rejecting him when he tried to make contact.
When Jemima starts acting in a highly suspicious manner – including constantly freeloading from Karl – Susan fears the worst and is determined to find out what she's really up to.
Sadly for Susan, she gets nowhere with her detective work and it's Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) who gets in there first by discovering Jemima's mysterious secret.
The following day, Susan is stunned to hear that Jemima has arranged a lunch date with Paul and worries that she's now planning to milk him for his money too.
Jemima is outraged to hear Susan badmouthing her to Paul and reports straight back to Karl, who warns his wife to back off and give his sister a chance.
Meanwhile, Paul's son Leo Tanaka is delighted when he hears that Paul's lunch with Jemima is a proper date.
Leo approaches Terese Willis and points out that the main obstacle standing in the way of their relationship might no longer be an issue, if Paul is moving on.
Leo reckons there's nothing stopping them from being together, but how will Terese respond?

Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson to use Chloe Brennan as a weapon in the battle for Lassiters
Will Terese and Pierce be outsmarted?
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a869928/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-chloe-brennan-lassiters-plan/
Neighbours schemer Paul Robinson is forced to use ruthless tactics to stay in control at Lassiters next week.
Paul's future at the business comes under serious threat when Terese Willis teams up with Pierce Greyson with a sneaky plan to oust him.
Early next week, Terese and Pierce approach Paul (Stefan Dennis) with an offer to buy him out of the hotel.
Knowing that he won't agree willingly, the duo put pressure on Paul by threatening to scare off his Robinson Pines investors if he doesn't agree.
An unimpressed Paul doesn't take Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and Pierce (Tim Robards) too seriously at first, but when a vital investor later pulls out, he realises that he might have to give into their demands after all.
As Paul mulls over a possible sale, he's thrown a possible lifeline when he stumbles across a clue to Pierce's recent relationship arrangement with Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly).
The trouble starts when Yashvi Rebecchi finds out about the agreement that Chloe has with Pierce. This forces Chloe to give the interfering teenager one of the expensive rings that Pierce gifted her with, buying her silence.
Yashvi isn't sure what to do with the ring, but eventually settles on the idea of selling it to Paul – knowing that he's unlikely to ask too many questions about where it came from.
Recognising the piece of jewellery as Chloe's ring, Paul agrees to take it off Yashvi's hands in exchange for a full explanation.
Once Paul knows that Chloe received the ring from Pierce, he hopes that his luck is starting to change – recognising this as the clue to something he can use as leverage.
As Paul pieces together what's really going on between Pierce and Chloe, he figures out a way to keep his hotel after all. Are Pierce and Terese in for a nasty shock?

Will Jane's arrival spark a positive change?
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a871316/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-family-decision/
Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson will finally make peace with his family after weeks of tension.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) has been making his loved ones' lives a misery recently, unable to accept his daughter Amy's relationship with Gary Canning and his son Leo's romance with Terese Willis.
As we've recently revealed, Paul's family even hatch a plan to bring Jane Harris (Annie Jones) back to Erinsborough, hoping to distract him from his vengeful behaviour for a while.
The plan works when a tentative relationship begins between Paul and Jane, but Terese can't help feeling guilty for using Jane like this.
Terese eventually confesses to Jane that she was never really invited back to Erinsborough 'on business' – they just wanted to curb Paul's vindictive behaviour.
Upset by what she's hearing, Jane vows to leave Erinsborough rather than continue to be a pawn in their games.
When Paul discovers that Jane is ready to pack her bags, he begs her to stay but struggles to win her round.
In the end, Jane agrees to stay on the condition that Paul builds bridges with his kids and she even organises a family meeting to set the ball rolling.
After everyone is honest about their feelings and Paul reluctantly gives his blessing to his children's relationships, the extended Robinson family commit to moving forward. Has peace finally broken out?

While Bea Nilsson faces drama of her own.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a25409773/neighbours-christmast-trailer-paul-robinson-killer-bea-nilsson/
Now that Neighbours has become a full-time soap, that means we're finally getting a Christmas Day episode.
And it looks like the Australians are taking a page out of the EastEnders book of grim and gritty festive specials, if this trailer is anything to go by.
In the promo clip, we see Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) desperately digging up a dead body. Has he killed someone? He's not entirely sure himself, and needs to know the truth.
As if he hasn't got enough on his plate, he then turns around at the end of the trailer and exclaims "Dad?". Did he not read our article about Alan Dale's Jim Robinson coming back? Shame on you, Paul.
The whole thing is soundtracked by Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) singing the oh so festive 'O Holy Night'. Bea is going to face drama of her own this Christmas, as she and her mother Liz Conway (Debra Lawrance) share strong words over the latter's lack of faith in her daughter. Where's all this going to lead, we wonder?
Beyond that, there's also the death of a fan favourite, a possible wedding, a cheating/pregnancy scandal, a poison plotline and the show's 8,000th episode all coming up in next few weeks and months. Blimey. Merry Christmas, indeed.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Stefan – who plays Paul Robinson – said: "It’s going to be devastating, that’s the only thing I can tell you. It’s going to change the world.
"We have just finished filming it all and it is so devastating that it rocked almost everybody in the cast. It was a very, very difficult two weeks of filming, really difficult. It is literally devastating."
Stefan also spoke to us about rumours that a new family could be arriving next year, explaining: "There are two new characters adding to a family and I think they will gain popularity very quickly because of who they are joining.

Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson comes dangerously close to betraying his son Leo Tanaka next week, as he grows close to Terese Willis once again.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) inadvertently makes Terese jealous when he flirts with a glamorous new client called Jane Fraser, who makes a brief visit to Erinsborough.
As Paul shows off the Robinson Pines development to Jane (Julia Davis), she playfully flirts with him in front of Leo and Terese.
Paul happily flirts back, but even though Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) has reunited with Leo, she can't help feeling jealous over what she sees.
Later on, Terese accuses Paul of behaving inappropriately towards a client, but he seizes on her strange attitude and asks why it bothers her so much.
As the argument leads to some flirty banter of their own, Terese and Paul come extremely close to kissing before pulling away.
The next day sees Terese seek out Paul again to make it clear that she's committed to Leo and refuses to hurt him.
Paul doesn't want Leo to suffer either, so they make a pact to let go of each other for his sake. But will this be easier said than done?

I totally agree. The writers have literally thrown Terese under the bus. I use to love her, but now have no time for her. I hope both Leo and Paul dump her once and for all. Paul can do so much better. I’m now hoping for a Piper and Leo get together. TEAM LEPER ��

Neighbours schemer Paul Robinson tries to bribe Chloe Brennan next week after watching her get close to Kyle Canning.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) recently lured Kyle back to Erinsborough in the hope that he'd cause trouble for Amy's relationship, but the masterplan has yet to pay off.
Viewers know that Paul is determined to sabotage his daughter's engagement to Kyle's dad Gary and will seemingly stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
Next week, Paul's partner Terese Willis urges him to be on his best behaviour at Amy and Gary's upcoming engagement party. She also encourages him to make a speech on the day to show that he's now supporting them.
Paul agrees to play nice, but Terese is oblivious to the fact that he still secretly wants to break up Gary and Amy before they make it down the aisle.
A troubled Paul soon starts to fear that his plan is doomed, as Amy and Kyle (Christopher Milligan) finally finish work on their Robinson Pines handover and won't need to interact as much anymore.
Paul is also aware that Kyle is now hooking up with Chloe (April Rose Pengilly), which could distract him from any unresolved feelings he has for Amy.
Just as Terese confides in Ned about how Paul finally seems to have turned a corner, the Ramsay Street rogue returns to his villainous ways by approaching Chloe with an offer.

Paul has no time or patience for Roxy's wild behaviour and warns Terese that it's time to send her troublesome niece packing. Unfortunately for Paul, Roxy stays one step ahead when she spots him secretly handing over money to Chloe (April Rose Pengilly).
Well aware that she has caught Paul up to no good, Roxy warns that she'll tip off Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) unless he changes his mind and lets her stay.
Paul knows that he has been backed into a corner, so reluctantly complies with Roxy's demands and agrees that she can stick around after all.
Just when Paul is breathing a sigh of relief over securing Roxy's silence, a guilty Chloe exposes the secret herself. She tells everyone that Paul bribed her to stay away from Kyle (Chris Milligan), in the hope that Kyle would then break up Amy and Gary.
Terese is livid when she realises that Paul is still trying to control his loved ones, leaving their relationship in trouble.

Not a spoiler, but Stefan Dennis talking to Radiotimes.com about 'Sonya' being killed off:
Neighbours bosses “regret killing off Sonya Rebecchi” claims co-star
Cast address controversial decision to axe Eve Morey
https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-06-20/neighbours-bosses-regret-killing-off-sonya-rebecchi-claims-co-star/
The decision to kill off Sonya Rebecchi in Neighbours after actress Eve Morey was axed for financial reasons caused an outcry among soap fans earlier this year.
Morey’s performance as her alter ego succumbed to cancer earned widespread praised as one of the most heartbreaking storylines in the show’s history, but the revelation the popular star had been written out to save money in the production budget raised questions among the audience about whether it was the right decision.
Now co-star Stefan Dennis, aka Paul Robinson, has spoken of the fallout around Morey’s departure and believes there could well be an air of regret…
“Actors have to realise we are working in a business,” he said, speaking to RadioTimes.com while Neighbours was filming on location in London recently for a future storyline involving guest star Denise Van Outen. “At the end of the day a very big company has to see the bottom line and if it’s not adding up they work out how to do it. Eve was a casualty of that.
“I think in hindsight they’re now going, ‘Oops’! There is possibly some regret among the powers that be with regard to the decision, especially as Eve is shortlisted for the Gold Logie (Australian TV’s most prestigious award, announced on Sunday 30th June) which is a public vote.
“It was a big shock to the cast and took us a long time to get over – myself, Ryan Moloney (Toadie Rebecchi), Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy) and Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy) marched to the office and said ‘You can’t do this,’ they explained it was out of their hands.
“But then Neighbours is an evolving show and it will move on. Eve will not be forgotten, and the lovely thing is she’s an acting coach on the show now so we still get to see her and she’s doing what she’s very good at which is mentoring people. Over the years she’s been one of my most favourite actors on the show,” he continues. “I have been in awe of her work.”
How did Eve Morey feel about being axed?
Morey explained the reasons behind her exit in more detail to RadioTimes.com at the time:
“In 2017 Neighbours was at a point where it was negotiating its future (following Australian broadcaster Network Ten going into administration), and there had to be changes budget-wise for it to move forward in every department, and I was part of that. It’s what happens in the industry, it made sense, it’s a business, and it’s all good.
“It made complete sense to me and once I knew Sonya was going I agreed she had to die. She would never have left Toadie so her death preserved the integrity of these characters. In a weird way way there was a moment of exhilaration having been there for so long. And these last few years I’ve felt like I wanted to be home with my kids more. The universe was listening!”

Neighbours lines up whodunit mystery as Paul Robinson is brutally attacked
Has Gary taken revenge?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a28385477/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-attacked/
Neighbours rogue Paul Robinson is viciously attacked next week – with Gary Canning quickly becoming the prime suspect.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) is targeted by a mystery assailant after being caught out for meddling in his daughter Amy's relationship.
Viewers know that Paul and Sheila Canning have teamed up to sabotage Amy's future with Gary (Damien Richardson).
Next week, the story gathers pace as Amy realises that she still has feelings for Gary's son Kyle and needs to end her current relationship.
Just when it seems like Amy is about to switch back from father to son, Kyle is shocked to discover that Sheila and Paul have been stirring things. Despite knowing this could change everything, Kyle reluctantly reports back to Amy over what's been going on.
As Kyle had feared, Amy decides to delay breaking up with Gary – fearing that he'd blame it all on Sheila and Paul, rather than respecting it as her own decision.
Unaware of how close he came to losing Amy, livid Gary reacts badly to news of Sheila and Paul's meddling.
Paul retaliates with a brutally honest assessment of why he believes Kyle is better for Amy than Gary, which could be enough to push his enemy over the edge.
Later that night, Paul is brutally attacked and rushed to hospital, where he requires surgery to fix some internal bleeding.
Roxy Willis is strangely subdued over the incident, but later points the finger at Gary by claiming that she saw him at the scene of the crime. Is this true, or could she have lashed out after Paul rejected her romantic advances?

Neighbours reveals who attacked Paul Robinson as whodunit mystery is resolved
The truth comes out.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a28530564/neighbours-spoilers-who-attacked-paul-robinson/
Note: This article reveals the outcome of Paul's attack mystery, which some readers may prefer to avoid.
Neighbours has revealed the identity of Paul Robinson's attacker.
The legendary character was brutally assaulted last week and Gary Canning (Damien Richardson) is currently the prime suspect in the case.
However, next week's episodes see the investigation take a major twist as Roxy Willis's ex-lover Vance Abernethy (Conrad Coleby) is confirmed as the true culprit.
Upcoming episodes see Gary's future look bleak after Roxy (Zima Anderson) wrongly pointed the finger at him in her eyewitness account.
Evidence also continues to stack up against Gary when Harlow Robinson discovers that Sheila has found the crowbar used to attack Paul, hidden away behind the tram.
Sheila has kept the crucial piece of evidence to herself, not wanting it to be used against Gary, but Harlow does the right thing by sharing what she knows with the police.
Roxy feels terrible when it looks like Gary will be sent back to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Despite this, she also doesn't want to betray Vance, who went on the attack to protect her.
On the day of the incident, Vance misinterpreted Roxy's attempt to kiss Paul, wrongly thinking that Paul was being lecherous. He then reacted violently, wanting to teach Paul a lesson that he'd never forget.
When Vance senses that Roxy may want to retract her statement against Gary, he suggests that they should leave town together immediately.
Roxy isn't so convinced this is her best move and ends up calling the police on Vance, doing the right thing by putting the Cannings' feelings before her own. How will Roxy's family react to her recent behaviour?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, August 5 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours hints at evil cult storyline as Paul and Terese arrive in London
Harlow's mum Prue may be in over her head.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a28953037/neighbours-spoilers-paul-terese-london-cult-storyline/
Neighbours returns to London next week and hints at trouble to come in a sinister cult storyline.
The long-running soap has filmed some special scenes in the UK, featuring Paul Robinson and Terese Willis on their honeymoon.
While on their trip, Paul and Terese decide that they should meet up with Harlow's mother Prudence, since they're all in London together.
The newlyweds send Harlow (Jemma Donovan) a message to let her know about their plans, but are confused when she freaks out at the prospect and tries to stop the meeting from going ahead.
Harlow confides in Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) about the situation, explaining that Prue is part of a group called the Restoration Order, which has sparked some strange behaviour from her in recent months.
With this in mind, Harlow fears that Prue will only embarrass herself when she meets Paul and Terese.
Despite Harlow's concerns, the introduction goes ahead as planned, but Paul and Terese are confused when Prue clearly isn't in any rush to have her daughter back in her life again.
Things get even weirder when free-spirited Prue abruptly ends her catch-up with Paul and Terese, leaving them both baffled.
Unbeknown to them, Prue flees to meet a mysterious man from the Order, who instructs her to completely cut contact with Harlow.
Although secretly devastated by this, Prue goes ahead and texts Harlow, informing her that their relationship is over.
Stefan Dennis and Rebekah Elmaloglou, who play Paul and Terese, filmed the London scenes in June while over in the UK for publicity commitments with Channel 5.
Denise Van Outen has been cast in the role of Prue and has since been filming over in Australia to continue the storyline.
Good Morning Britain's showbiz presenter Richard Arnold is also making a cameo as Graham, the man who exerts an unhealthy influence over Prue.
Speaking in June, Denise explained: "I am thrilled to be joining the cast of one the world's most iconic shows, Neighbours. To be asked is a privilege and I am very excited to get to work on a really fun storyline first in London and then heading over to Melbourne.
"I can't say too much just yet but my character Prue is heading to Ramsay Street to stir things up and I can't wait!"
Richard added: "I always knew my career would hit a 'dead end' eventually but I never dreamed it would do so in such spectacular fashion joining the cast of Neighbours, home to the most famous cul-de-sac in television. G'Day Britain!"

Neighbours is planning a big bust-up between Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Maloney) and Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan), as the pair's lawsuit is revealed.
As has recently come to light, lawyer Toadie will agree to help Kyle launch a class action lawsuit against Paul and Terese.
A sex tape of Kyle and Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) at Lassiters was leaked without their knowledge last month, and Kyle wants revenge. Meanwhile, Toadie intends to use any money from the case to prop up his late wife Sonya's foundation, which only has funds to last a few more months.
In scenes which will air on Tuesday, November 19 and Wednesday, November 20 in the UK, Paul and Terese learn of the planned legal action. So, how will they respond?
Well, Terese takes the news terribly and is overcome with guilt, pushing her sobriety to the edge.
Meanwhile, a horrified Amy tries to tell Paul about the planned lawsuit before he finds out elsewhere, but she's too late.
As news of the scandal breaks through Erinsborough, tensions come to a head on Ramsay Street as alliances are tested.
And, as Paul confronts Toadie and Kyle, how far will he go in retaliation?

Neighbours' Paul Robinson in bribe scandal after lawsuit shock
He resorts to sneaky tactics to deal with Toadie Rebecchi.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a29824128/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-bribe-scandal/
Neighbours schemer Paul Robinson sparks fresh outrage next week by trying to bribe his way out of the Lassiters scandal.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) is about to find himself in hot water when he discovers that Kyle Canning has recruited Toadie Rebecchi to launch a class action lawsuit against the hotel.
Kyle's decision came after secretly-planted cameras recorded him having sex with Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) in one of the hotel rooms. The footage was later released online, in breach of the couple's privacy.
Meanwhile, Toadie (Ryan Moloney) has taken on the case because the fees involved would help him to save The Sonya Rebecchi Foundation, which is in financial difficulty.
Next week, Kyle (Chris Milligan) becomes further obsessed with the case. This drives a wedge between him and Amy, who still feels a loyalty towards her dad Paul in spite of what happened.
Things get even more complicated when Kyle learns that Paul has attempted to bribe Toadie into dropping the case.
Paul has sneakily offered Toadie a large donation to the Foundation, if he agrees to back off.
Kyle is outraged by Paul's dirty tactics and goes on the attack in the middle of Ramsay Street. Once again, Amy feels stuck in a war between her father and boyfriend.
Later in the week, Amy lays down the law with Kyle by complaining that his devotion to the lawsuit means they're spending hardly any time together.
She also points out that Gary was constantly at loggerheads with Paul too and she doesn't want this experience with another boyfriend.
Kyle ends up stepping down from the class action to support Amy, but Toadie remains determined to go full steam ahead and takes on Shane's help to manage the workload. Is Paul still in big trouble?

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis responds to whether the show could do a live episode
"It'd probably scare a lot of people off!"
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a30088985/neighbours-stefan-dennis-live-episode/
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has discussed the possibility of the show doing a live episode.
The Australian soap is celebrating its 35th anniversary in early 2020, with plans to bring back several major characters.
Some English soaps have marked big milestones in the past by shooting episodes live, and when asked by Digital Spy whether or not it's possible Neighbours could follow suit in the future, Stefan admitted that the idea has been joked about on set before.
Never say never," he said.
"We were all joking about having to do a live episode a few years ago because we were so under the pump, because of various things happening. We got very behind, and we were all making jokes about, 'Oh, it looks like we're going to be doing next week's episodes live!'
"I know the English ones have done it."
Stefan added that a live episode isn't on the agenda right now, but he thinks some stars would be into the idea.
"I don't know if the idea has been toyed with by the production company or not, but it's certainly not something we're thinking about at the moment," he said.
"I think it'd probably scare a lot of people off! Those who haven't done theatre will probably go, 'Oh my god', because everyone's so used to doing it again until you get it right. People trip up.
"But I think the old theatre pros will go, 'Oh, bring it on!'"
Stefan also offered a small tease on what fans can expect from the 35th anniversary storyline, calling it "one of the most dramatic, suspenseful, twisty, and explosive storylines that there has been on Neighbours".
"I know that we always say that when a big storyline is coming up – but hang on to your hats and your seats for this one," he added.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 12.50pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Paul Robinson to face new ultimatum over Robert
Harlow and Terese both think he should visit his son.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a30337567/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-robert-new-ultimatum/
Neighbours killer Robert Robinson will spark more tension between his family in the New Year.
Robert (Adam Hunter) has just saved David Tanaka's life by donating a kidney to him, but Paul won't be happy when some of his loved ones start to see him as a hero.
Scenes airing in early January see David (Takaya Honda) make plans to visit Robert in prison after making good progress with his recovery.
Harlow (Jemma Donovan) plans to go along too, fully intending to keep her promise to visit Robert weekly from now on.
Things turn heated when Harlow wants Paul (Stefan Dennis) to come and he stubbornly refuses.
Harlow reckons that Paul should thank Robert for helping David, but Paul insists that his one good deed doesn't make up for the evil crimes he committed in 2006 and 2007.
There's one more surprise for Paul when Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) appears to take Harlow's side, encouraging him to see things from the teen's point of view.
Terese says that Paul will never find peace for himself if he can't accept Harlow's view of her father. Will Paul buckle under the pressure and face his son?
Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: "We've been wanting to revisit Robert for some time and finally had an opportunity this year, via Harlow.
"Having a daughter gives Robert an extra dimension, he's not a full-blown villain. He's actually very similar to Paul in that his children are his Achilles heel.
"Robert wants to have a relationship with Harlow, however his past is very much in the way. He's a damaged person, but not without redeeming features."
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, January 6 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Yeah not sure about this. It may be cathartic for Paul,to forgive is divine. But his family holding it against him for not visiting Robert is unfair. He did try to kill Paul and ended up killing an entire family. Somehow I think Harold would be on Paul's side

Neighbours' Paul Robinson uncovers the whole truth about Jane Harris's con
It was all a plan to get back at him.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a31064789/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-jane-harris-con/
Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson is forced to deal with a face from his past next week, as the truth about Jane Harris's scam is revealed.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) is about to recruit his private investigator to find out the truth about who conned Jane under the guise of "Richard", her online love interest.
Next week, Paul is given food for thought when Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) mentions that she might have seen somebody connected to the Renshaw siege in the Lassiters complex recently.
Yashvi isn't sure whether it was her mind playing tricks on her, especially after reading a number of police case files recently, but Paul still thinks the information is worth passing onto his PI.
Although Jane is still holding out hope that Paul will be able to unmask "Richard" and recover the money she sent to him, Paul opts not to get her hopes up by mentioning the new lead at this early stage.
As Paul's detective work continues, it's not long before he realises that troublesome Mannix Foster was responsible for Jane's ordeal.
Fans will remember that Mannix was first introduced in 2017, as an old associate of Paul's son Leo Tanaka.
A more recent storyline at Christmas 2018 saw Paul duped into thinking that he'd killed Mannix, but the truth was ultimately revealed when Mannix reappeared in January 2019 and tried to extort money from Paul and Leo.
When pushed for an explanation over his latest antics, malicious Mannix admits that he targeted Jane in order to get back at Paul.
Mannix immediately takes steps to regain the upper hand, warning that he has private and personal correspondences from Jane, and will expose them to the world if Paul chooses to hand him in to the police. What will Paul decide to do?

Neighbours casts Stefan Dennis's son Declan in new guest role
Declan will be playing Louis Curtain.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a32387546/neighbours-stefan-dennis-son-declan-guest-role/
Neighbours has announced that Stefan Dennis's son Declan will be joining the show in a guest role.
Declan will be playing a character named Louis Curtain, who has been described as a "bit of a bad guy".
"I'm obviously very proud that Declan has chosen to, not so much follow in my footsteps but to make his mark in the world of showbiz," Stefan said.
"Contrary to what people may think, he did this on his own – apart from the dad taxi bit! So yes, [I'm] very proud and happy to pass on some wisdom from my years in the biz."
Declan shared that he got some advice from his father – who plays Paul Robinson – ahead of filming.
"Dad didn't so much help me just play 'the bad guy'," he explained. "It was more about helping me develop the character as a whole. But it is fun being a bit of a chip off the old block.
"I do like the idea of following [acting] as a career, but I also understand the pitfalls of the unsureness of this industry. Therefore, I understand why my parents have suggested I have a second string to my bow!"
Stefan also confirmed that they won't be sharing any scenes together, as Louis and Paul don't cross paths.
"Our characters' storylines actually don't cross over, so we don't even see each other whilst at the studios because of the new system in place there to make it safe for everyone," Stefan said, mentioning the new social distancing rules being enforced on set.
No actors are allowed to be in the same studio unless they are there to film, and everybody must maintain a distance of 1.5 metres from each other.
Elsewhere, Jemma Donovan has addressed fans' hopes of seeing her father Jason Donovan return to Ramsay Street, explaining that she has mixed feelings about the idea.
"It would be fun being on the same set with him, but also quite scary... It would be weird working with my dad!" she said.

However, he will be gone as quickly as he came, as the young actor said on today's (May 15) This Morning that he has already finished filming. At least for now...
Asked how long he would be on Ramsay Street, Declan responded: "Not long. He's not a very big character at the moment, but he could be. I've done all my scenes, I'm done filming."
During the chat with dad Stefan, the youngster also explained how he got the role in the soap, and admitted hopes to pursue an acting career.
"This is something that just came up," Declan said. "I didn't really have a profile or any online things – I didn't even have an agent, but this is probably something I will pursue."

Neighbours' Paul Robinson drops a big new bombshell on Chloe
Is there trouble ahead?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a32609942/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-chloe-pierce-naomi/
Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson has tried to stir up some big trouble in Pierce Greyson and Chloe Brennan's marriage.
Paul couldn't resist meddling in today's Australian episode (May 20) after uncovering the secret past between Pierce and Naomi Canning.
Viewers in Australia have already seen Naomi make her return to Erinsborough in order to help her mum Sheila through her grief for Gary.
Following her comeback, it was revealed that Naomi shared a surprising romantic past with Pierce. She rejected him when Pierce fell in love with her, but now sees him as the one that got away.
Wednesday's episode on 10 Peach in Australia saw Naomi in a sheepish mood after blurting out to Pierce that she is still attracted to him.
Despite this moment of honesty, Naomi promised that Pierce has nothing to worry about and that she has no intention of messing things up for him and Chloe.
Paul's plans weren't so honourable, as he sneakily consulted with a mutual contact about Pierce's past.
The schemer was delighted to discover how Pierce once had deep feelings for Naomi and quickly reported back to Chloe.
Paul pointed out to Chloe that Pierce and Naomi seemed to be getting along very well.
An unconcerned Chloe pointed out they were old friends, but Paul replied: "Except it was a bit more than that, wasn't it? Word has it that Pierce chased her pretty hard – bordering on infatuation.
"It's odd, isn't it, though? Why would they keep it a secret?"
Will Paul's latest scheming drive a wedge between Pierce and Chloe, or will Chloe question why Pierce has been so secretive?
Neighbours fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in June.

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis reveals storm aftermath for Paul and Terese
Will they reunite?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a38799773/neighbours-spoilers-stefan-dennis-paul-terese-storm/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has spoken to Digital Spy about Paul Robinson and Terese Willis growing closer again after this week's storm disaster.
A huge new storyline on the show sees terrible weather hit Erinsborough on the day of Kyle Canning and Roxy Willis's wedding.
When the guests take shelter at the Flamingo Bar, it proves to be an awful decision as they're not safe inside.
The fallout sees Paul rushed to hospital in a critical condition, while Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is forced to consider whether she still has feelings for her estranged husband.
Teasing the aftermath, Stefan told Digital Spy: "Terese does rush to be with Paul. Even though she split up with him, Terese still loves Paul and that's the problem. Paul is head over heels in love with Terese. Terese is angry over Paul's antics, but she does deeply, deeply love him.
"As with anyone when you love them and they're in critical danger, you rush to their side."
He continued: "Terese comes to terms with her dalliance with Glen and says: 'Look, my husband's ill, I've got to be with him'. She stays by Paul's side. Then when Paul is released from hospital, he's still very ill and needs nursing. So Terese decides to move into the penthouse with Paul, much to his amazement and joy.
"As actors, both Bek and I really love filming the break-up stuff. It's good fun to play the drama. But as characters, I think the world wants Terese and Paul to get back together.
"I would like to see that as well, because they're so suited to each other but also so different. That's why they're always so feisty. They're just two very, very strong characters who clash."
The storm plays out in Tuesday's episode on Channel 5, while Wednesday's edition features a rare Neighbours time jump as the action moves seven days into the future.
Stefan explained: "You have the night of the storm and the catastrophe that is caused by that. Then in the next episode, it cuts to seven days later and everyone is picking up the pieces. That's where the twists and turns start.
"The building fell on Paul and he ends up having a ruptured liver. He undergoes major surgery and he's not a well boy at all.
"I got the script and thought I was going to have a week of lying in bed asleep! I thought I'd be able to take it easy with no lines ? that's an actor's dream, your character being in hospital for a week. Then they did a time jump!"

Neighbours' Paul Robinson predicts reunion with Terese Willis after storm disaster
It could be just a matter of time.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a38826282/neighbours-spoilers-paul-terese-reunion-prediction/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson thinks it's only a matter of time before he and Terese Willis are back together, in episodes airing next week.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) was recently seriously injured during the storm disaster. Terese's (Rebekah Elmaloglou) guilt over what happened at the Flamingo Bar that night led her to make the decision to move into the penthouse to help care for her estranged husband.
In upcoming scenes on Channel 5 and 10 Peach, Terese finds herself enjoying looking after Paul but is unsure over the idea of romantically reuniting with him.
The pair's chemistry is evident and they're getting along really well ? which leads Paul to confidently believe they're on the right track and he has every chance of winning Terese back.
Later, Paul persuades Terese to give marriage counselling another go. The last time they tried, it went horribly wrong with the session turning into a huge fight.
But this second session ends up going much better, with both Paul and Terese remaining calm. Paul even has a surprising breakthrough that gives him a better understanding of why he is the way that he is.
Things continue to look positive for Terese and Paul, but there are still concerns that Paul may fall back to his old habits.
Soon, Paul learns that Terese moved into the penthouse out of guilt, and is further shocked that she had feelings for Glen Donnelly (Richard Huggett).
To Terese's surprise, Paul takes the revelations well and comes across as understanding and supportive.
Paul may be right, and it might just be a matter of time before he and Terese fully reconcile and reunite.

High drama ahead in Erinsborough.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a38839718/neighbours-spoilers-stefan-dennis-massive-storyline/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has revealed plans for another high-stakes storyline in the coming months.
The Aussie soap has kicked off 2022 in dramatic style, as a shock storm disaster rocked Erinsborough on the day of Kyle Canning and Roxy Willis's wedding.
Stefan, who plays original character Paul Robinson, has now promised another big event which will hit screens within the next few months.
The actor compared the plot to Neighbours: Endgame in 2020, which saw Finn Kelly wreak havoc during a holiday on Pierce Greyson's island.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Stefan explained: "I'm very excited because we've been filming some big stuff recently. Do you remember the Fire Island story? We're doing another big storyline like that.
"I can't tell you anything about it, because it's very hush-hush. But it's going to be as big as that.
"It's massive, but I can't give anything away. And when I said Fire Island, it's got nothing to do with that so don't think that it's that!
"In the meantime, Paul is involved in something very big away from that, back on Ramsay Street. So there's a lot of excitement coming up.
"We've just been on a production break but I'm going straight back into a big storyline, which is good."
Stefan also told fans to keep an eye out for on-screen changes to Neighbours, with more on-location filming and improvements to sets.
He said: "We've had a bit of an injection with all sorts of things recently. Our storylines are upping and we've been going out on location a lot more.
"We're stepping it up a bit. So hopefully the 2022 Neighbours is going to have a good impact on the audience."

Paul is up to his old tricks again.

Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) returns to bad habits in order to win back Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) in next week's episodes.
Following the accident at Roxy's wedding, Paul has been left seriously injured and in need of long-term recovery. So, Terese decides to move back into the penthouse with Paul to nurse him back to health.
Paul was thrilled by Terese's return and was hoping to take advantage of their time together to win her back, but Terese soon reminds Paul that her stay in the penthouse is only temporary. As his condition begins to improve, a shaken Paul resorts to dubious methods to keep Terese around.
After Glen (Richard Huggett) admitted to Terese that he had found (and hidden) her missing wedding ring, she cast him away, leaving the door wide open for Paul to win her heart again.
In upcoming scenes, Paul's pretence that he is still ill pays off when Terese not only sticks around but soon becomes even more loving than before too.
However, while Paul is thrilled his plan is working, Karl (Alan Fletcher) begins to grow suspicious. Realising that Karl is onto him, Paul decides to take action.
As Karl goes to look into Paul's mystery illess, he discovers Paul has replaced him with a new specialist. Though he's no longer Paul's doctor, Karl later enlists David's help to figure out what's going on.
Meanwhile, Paul is overjoyed later in the week when Terese agrees to get back together, as taking care of Paul has reignited their old bond.
Paul is thrilled and insists he wants to change for her, while Terese believes that he can do so. But will their blissful romance last or is it only a matter of time before Paul's manipulation of Terese tears their rekindled romance apart?

Paul faces consequences for his lies to Terese.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a39075058/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-hospital/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson is rushed back to hospital in next week's episodes, as his life is at risk once more.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) was recently seriously injured during the storm disaster that claimed the life of Britney Barnes. While he was on the mend, he faked complications with his recovery, hiring a doctor to make up a diagnosis so he could manipulate Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) into staying with him.
This blew up in his face, as his lies were exposed. But when Paul genuinely does have a health issue, he finds nobody is around to help him.
In upcoming scenes, Paul's health is declining but his family put it down to his anxiety and his obsession with Terese, as they know he would do anything to win her back.
When he begins to feel seriously unwell, he tries to call several family members but most of them brush him off.
Paul falls to the floor unconscious, and it takes a while before somebody finds him.
Glen Donnelly (Richard Huggett) eventually decides to check on Paul following their phone call, and is shocked to see him motionless. He calls for an ambulance.
At the hospital, Paul's family react to what has happened as he is treated urgently by the doctors.
Terese is similarly horrified to hear the news, but while she initially gets ready to head to the hospital and see him, she stops and changes her mind as she realises she's not Paul's wife anymore.
Terese can begin to move on from their split.

Neighbours reveals Paul Robinson's return storyline after trip away
The businessman has returned with a possible agenda.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a39530636/neighbours-paul-robinson-return-storyline/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has unveiled the storyline behind Paul Robinson's return, following his trip away.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) had recently gone away to stay with Scott and Charlene after his brief stay in hospital. This had been on his son Leo's insistence that he had been in need of a break from work.
Leo's meeting with fashion mogul Montana Marcel to help Terese and Chloe with their Fashion Week tender will end in a shocking indecent proposal from Marcel.
She will let Lassiters host her Fashion Week, provided he agrees to spend the night with her. Torn, Leo asks for time to think and turns to Glen for advice.
However, when Leo later returns to Montana with his answer, Glen comes clean to Terese and Chloe on his behalf. Terese, appalled by the sudden turn of events, refuses to let Leo go through with it ? just in time for her to find out they won the tender.
And yet, when Chloe and Terese find themselves struggling to get their ideas for Fashion Week over the line with Montana later on, Chloe once again suggests they turn to Leo.
Terese reluctantly makes the request, aware of Montana's 'indecent proposal' last week, but unaware that Leo has been enjoying a secret tryst with the designer.
It is then that Paul makes his return. He arrives home surprising both Terese and Leo with his newly-acquired relaxed attitude. He claims he wants to be hands-off with Fashion Week, but Terese is skeptical, worried he's up to something.
When Paul later wines and dines Montana, Leo and Terese find themselves worrying about his motives. While Terese suspects he's out to undermine her, Leo fears Paul's interest in Montana might be romantic ? which could lead to a very awkward conversation between the father and son duo.
Fortunately, they're both pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong ? Paul's all business. Little does Terese now that Paul is cooking up a plan for her too, lulling her into a false sense of security.
At the same time, Leo is starting to sense Montana is the one in control of their sultry side hustle, and he's not feeling great about it.
His fears are confirmed later on, when he attempts to cancel a rendezvous, only to find she won't let him. He starts to worry he might be in over his head as David advises him to shut it down.
But, once again, Montana refuses, leaving Leo with no clue as to how to deal with his predicament without upsetting a major Lassiters partner.

Neighbours' Paul Robinson to blackmail Montana Marcel in new scenes
Paul uncovers newcomer Montana's big secret.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a39625798/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-blackmail-montana-marcel/
Neighbours spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson will put the next phase of his devious plan into action next week, as he starts to blackmail newcomer Montana Marcel in order to get one up on his estranged wife, Terese Willis.
Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) was recently delighted to win the contract to host Montana's Fashion Week at Lassiters ? although she still has no idea that Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) went ahead and slept with Montana (Tammin Sursok) in return for her giving Lassiters the contract.
In scenes airing next week in the UK, and in May in Australia, Paul (Stefan Dennis) continues to be wary of Montana and her relationship with Leo, which appears to be growing stronger, and so he is reluctant to invest in her cosmetics line.
Paul secretly asks private investigator John Wong (Harry Tseng) to look into Montana's affairs, curious as to what secrets he might discover about her and her business.
Later on, he is triumphant to find out a shocking fact about Montana ? she has been cooking the books for years, and the tax office is onto her.
Desperate Montana fears that Paul will cancel Fashion Week, but instead he forces her to get involved in his sneaky plan. He orders Montana to rack up sky-high expenses in her Fashion Week planning, so that Terese will get the blame when everything falls apart.
Plus, he has one more big condition for Montana...
As the week continues, Paul's masterplan is well underway. As per his instructions, Montana has broken up with Leo and is ramping up the expenses for Fashion Week, while surprised Terese struggles to cope with the costs.
Paul feels that he is back in control of everything ? but how long will it last, and will his underhand actions be exposed before things get even worse for his family?
Tim Kano has said that Paul's "main motivation" is getting even with Terese, and that Leo and Montana's connection could be a victim of his plan.
Revealing that Leo has developed "quite strong" feelings for Montana, he said: "It's intimate for Leo, and he's keen to shield Montana from Paul's devious nature".
Unfortunately, it looks like that ship might have sailed...
Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, April 13, Thursday, April 14 and Friday, April 15 at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Monday, May 9, Tuesday, May 10 and Wednesday, May 11 at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Away from Neighbours..
I am watching a British series called Dream Team right now on YouTube. Originally from Sky One. It was big from about 1997-2002, then drifted until 2007 before finally ending. The show follows a fictional football team called Harchester United. Often they use real footage from Sky Sports for Everton, Chelsea, Leicester, Glasgow Rangers and recolour the blue to purple for their games.
In the 5th season, Stefan Dennis becomes chairman of the club. This would be 2001-2002.
He plays someone called Samuel Irving: http://dtdiehard.net/character%20tenures_files/character%20profiles_files/samuel%20irving.htm
Seems like he lasts a season before (yet another) disaster strikes and many (more) players and staff are killed in an accident.

Neighbours reveals surprising new love interest for Paul Robinson
Terese is in for a shock.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a40066970/neighbours-spoilers-paul-robinson-estelle-petrides/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours schemer Paul Robinson will strike up a surprising romantic connection with Terese Willis's mother.
As we've recently revealed, Terese's estranged mum Estelle Petrides is heading to Erinsborough and will be causing plenty of drama for her daughter in the coming weeks.
In next week's episodes on Channel 5, Terese is stunned when she finds Estelle and Paul having drinks together.
The timing couldn't be any worse, as Terese is currently locked in a bitter divorce dispute with Paul and can't bear to be around him.
Terese angrily confronts her mum for the perceived betrayal. With tensions running so high, it looks like Estelle's visit to Erinsborough could be short-lived.
Estelle, who's currently homeless, begs Terese to let her stay. Terese agrees, but she makes it clear that it's on the strict condition that Estelle stays away from Paul.
Although Estelle promises to comply with this, it appears that she and Paul are both determined to use Terese for their schemes.
Later in the week, Terese is furious again when she finds Estelle on a date with Paul.
Estelle urges Terese to calm down, insisting that she's only spending time with Paul to spy on him.
Terese isn't sure whether she can trust her erratic mother, but wanting to form a genuine bond, she takes Estelle along to the plaque which was created in memory of her late son Josh.
Terese and Estelle finally share a moment of warmth together, providing some hope that they could start to see eye-to-eye.
Paul later becomes irritated when Estelle decides to respect Terese's wishes by staying away from him.
Not backing down easily, Paul tries to tempt Estelle with an expensive bracelet.
Although Estelle attempts to refuse, greed soon gets the better of her.
After another argument with Terese, Estelle returns to the dark side and visits Paul. Where will this lead?
Neighbours bosses have cast Maria Mercedes in the role of Estelle.
The actress already has a history with the show, as she played Carmella Cammeniti's mother Lucia for guest appearances between 2004 and 2007.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 and streams on My5. In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach and streams on 10 Play.

Neighbours confirms cameo for Stefan Dennis's real-life daughter Darcy
She's the second of Stefan's children to appear.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a40203906/neighbours-cameo-stefan-dennis-daughter-darcy/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours is about to welcome a new face in a guest role, but it is someone that one current star of the soap knows very well.
Terese Willis is currently dealing with the arrival of her mother, Estelle, and it is clear that the pair have a long way to go before they can have a healthy mother and daughter relationship.
Scenes to air next week will see Estelle sink to new depths after she loses the support of Paul Robinson. She turns her attention to Glen and persuades him to let her stay at the vineyard ? and she has some blackmail up her sleeve to make sure he agrees.
This leads to more heartache for Terese who grows more tired of her mother and her selfish ways. And, to rub salt into the wound, she soon catches another mother and daughter having a chat who have a far healthier relationship.
The daughter in question here is Daisy McCartin, and she is to be played by none other than Darcy Dennis, the real-life daughter of Paul Robinson star Stefan Dennis.
This is Darcy's first TV role and Daisy's chat with her mum will leave Terese feeling down that she is not able to have that sort of rapport with her own mother.
Darcy is not the first of the Dennis children to have a guest role on Neighbours. Stefan's son Declan Dennis appeared on the show too, first back in 2020.
He played school bully Louis Curtain, who shared a lot of scenes with Emmett Donaldson when he was staying with Aaron and David at number 30.
While Stefan has had the pleasure of another family member on set, Paul Robinson is about to have a lot of reunions of his own.
His brother Scott, is set to return for the Neighbours finale, alongside Charlene, while many of his children, namely Amy, Andrew, and Elle are also set to reappear.

Neighbours spoilers: Shane Ramsay?s return storyline revealed as he stages comeback after 35 years
https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/03/neighbours-spoilers-shane-ramsays-return-storyline-revealed-after-35-years-16933728/?ito=newsnow-feed
It?s been over three decades since Shane Ramsay (Peter O?Brien) last set foot in Ramsay Street, but the Neighbours original makes a historic return next week, much to the delight of an old friend.
Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), as viewers know, is worried sick about son David Tanaka?s (Takaya Honda) well-being, given that he?s currently languishing behind bars in a maximum security prison.
Matters are complicated further in upcoming scenes, as David?s life is yet again put in danger ? and there?s little that Paul can do about it.
The businessman?s attention is soon elsewhere, however, as he crosses paths with old pal Shane!
And it?s not just a trip down memory lane that leaves Paul grinning like the cat that got the cream, as Shane?s comeback could prove to benefit him financially as well.
Shane, you see, has something of an interesting proposition for Paul, as he wants to go into business with him.
Paul is keen, that?s for sure, but Shane may soon come to reconsider, as he fishes Ramsay Street?s locals for information.
Will he find out anything that will make him decide against going into business with ruthless Paul?
Time will tell!
Shane, son of Max and Maria Ramsay, was one of Neighbours? original characters, and he made his debut in the Aussie soap?s very first episode back in 1985.
The character featured in numerous storylines across a two year period, with his first seeing him training to become an Olympic swimmer. His dad Max was his coach, and went out of his way to ensure Shane fulfilled his potential.
Other storylines he featured in include a relationship with Daphne Lawrence (Elaine Smith), and being involved in a number of car crashes, one of which left him facing a life in prison after Jean Richards died.
Shane left Erinsborough in 1987, and hasn?t been seen again since, but it was revealed several months ago that the character would stage a comeback ahead of Neighbours? final episodes.
Neighbours, as viewers know, is set to conclude later later this month, after Channel 5 controversially decided to drop it from their schedules in favour of ?original UK drama?, which the broadcaster claims has a ?strong appeal? for audiences.
The final month of episodes have been described as an on-air celebration of the show?s legacy and are thought to be must-see TV.
Actor Peter O?Brien is one of several stars set to reprise his role in the coming weeks, with others including Kyle Minogue (Charlene Robinson), Jason Donovan (Scott Robinson), Ian Smith (Harold Bishop), Paul Keane (Des Clarke) and Natalie Bassingthwaighte (Izzy Hoyland).

Paul has some serious thinking to do...
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a40572907/neighbours-paul-big-decision-shane-ramsay-return/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
A classic Robinson-Ramsay blackjack game takes place in Neighbours next week, but Paul is left with a huge decision to make by the time it finishes.
But when Paul suggests to Shane that they have a game for old times' sake while discussing Shane's plans to buy into the hotel, he has no idea that things are about to go in a very unexpected direction for him.
Shane has been learning how much Paul has changed over the years and the idea of going into business with him has been appealing less and less.
When Shane speaks to Tim Collins, he learns a lot more about Paul's shady history and decides that investing as a partner would be an unwise move.
As a counteroffer, Shane, who knows that Paul is in dire need of a cash injection after agreeing to the settlement with Terese, changes the deal and says that rather than becoming partners, he now wants to buy out Paul completely.
As Paul takes in the shocking news, he soon works out that he may not have a leg to stand on. Seeing how down his dad is about the notion of losing Lassiters, Leo decides to try and cheer him up.
Getting Paul on a video call with some old faces, the chat ends with Paul thinking that his future may not lie in Erinsborough after all ? and he soon announces his new plan which shocks those close to him.
What has Paul decided to do, and will Shane be the new sole owner of Lassiters?

Neighbours announces Paul and Terese storyline for final ever episode
Is there still a future for them?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a40633438/neighbours-spoilers-paul-terese-final-episode/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has hinted at a possible reunion for Paul Robinson and Terese Willis.
Terese asked Paul for a divorce in February after discovering that he'd manipulated her emotions by lying about his health.
Paul later took revenge against Terese by sabotaging the Fashion Week event that she'd organised at Lassiters. At the time, Terese was devastated that Paul would risk the reputation of his own business just to make her look bad.
More recently, Terese has warmed to Paul again after seeing how much he struggled during David Tanaka's prison ordeal.
In next week's episodes, Terese reaches a crossroads as she prepares to wave goodbye to Ramsay Street.
By this point, Terese has decided to buy River Bend following a suggestion from her new partner Glen Donnelly, Paul's half-brother.
Paul is also planning to move to New York alongside David, Aaron and Nicolette.
As both start packing up for their separate moves, Terese and Paul are thrown into each other's orbits again.
When Terese makes a surprising discovery, she becomes emotionally overwhelmed ? and Glen seems likely to bear the brunt of how she's feeling.
As Glen notices Terese's strange moods and her obvious allegiance to Paul, he struggles with feeling like second-best.
Despite Terese's attempts to reassure him, Glen comes to a painful realisation.
This ultimately paves the way for Terese and Paul's relationship to take centre stage again in Neighbours' hour-long series finale, which airs in a prime-time 9pm slot on Channel 5.
The official synopsis for the episode reads: "As Toadie and Melanie's wedding gets under way, Terese and Paul confront their unresolved feelings."
Could the former couple be about to reunite?
Neighbours: The Finale airs on Friday, July 29 at 9pm on Channel 5.

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis triumphs in Inside Soap Awards 2022
"What an incredible way to end the 37-year life of Paul Robinson."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a41633534/neighbours-stefan-dennis-inside-soap-awards/
Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has won a prize at the Inside Soap Awards 2022, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.
The actor, who played original character Paul Robinson from 1985, has topped the vote for the Best Daytime Star prize.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Stefan had made it to the top four in the category alongside his Neighbours co-star Ben Turland (Hendrix Greyson), Home and Away actress Emily Symons (Marilyn Chambers) and Doctors actress Sarah Moyle (Valerie Pitman).
Accepting the award, Stefan commented: "What an incredible way to end the 37-year life of Paul Robinson. Thank you very, very much everybody who voted for me for this.
"I'd also like to thank [Neighbours' production company] Fremantle obviously, and Channel 5 who did fight desperately to keep this show alive.
"Thank you to all the producers and the wonderful cast and crew that I managed to work intimately with over the last 37-odd years. Without you, Neighbours just would not be, so thank you guys."
Stefan went on to acknowledge the passionate fan campaign to save Neighbours, which began when Channel 5 announced its decision to pull funding for the show in February.
Although the petition didn't lead to a rethink, cast and crew were touched to see how much the show meant to fans.
Stefan continued: "Most particularly, I want to thank all the very loyal fans out there. Not just the ones who voted for me for this, but all of those who have stuck by the show for the entire life of Neighbours ? and particularly in the last days when we did hear you very loud and clear on the other side of the world when you tried so desperately to keep the show alive. Thank you so much for that.
"And Jan Russ ? without you, I wouldn't be standing here getting this award today. Thank you for casting me in the show."
Neighbours aired its historic final episode at the end of July, featuring the much-hyped returns of Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue as iconic supercouple Scott and Charlene Robinson.
The finale topped 4 million viewers in consolidated ratings for Channel 5, while 1.38 million fans saw the Australian airing on Channel 10.
The Inside Soap Awards will take place in London on Monday (October 17), when the rest of the winners will be announced at a star-studded ceremony.

Former Neighbours star has undergone a major transformation since their 2022 finale
He looks amazing!
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/neighbours/neighbours-stefan-dennis-transformation-76029
In the short amount of time since Neighbours departed our screens in 2022, one iconic character has undergone a complete transformation and fans are loving it.
Stefan Dennis, who played Paul Robinson in the Australia soap from 1985 to 1993 and returned to his role in 2004, was the pinnacle of cleanly shaved face and well-maintained hair. But he has swapped it for shaggy hair and stubble!
Stefan posed alongside his former co-star Alan Fletcher, who played Karl Kennedy, as they drove from Sydney to Melbourne.
"Had a wonderful few days in Sydney playing music with @lachlanbryan and @jenahansen," Alan wrote.
"Big kudos to @stefandennis7 for driving back to #melbourne with me. #longdrive #bestcompany #gundagai #dogonthetuckerbox #roadtrip."
Former co-star Ryan Thomas commented: "That's some hairdo."
Meanwhile, numerous fans flooded to the comments with praise for Stefan's new look. Even writing it should be Paul's new look when he returns in the Neighbours reboot.
"Loving Stefan's new look," one wrote.
"I'd proper love it if Paul came back to Neighbours all chilled out with floppy hair and a beard," another fan commented.
"Stefan's got to keep the new look for his Neighbours return."
"Paul are you in there."
"That definitely does not look like Paul Robinson!!!"
In November, Network 10 announced the drama series return in early 2023. Stefan will be joined by some original cast members including Alan Fletcher, Ryan Molony and Jackie Woodburne.
However, it is yet to be confirmed as to which other characters will be returning to our screen as many of the former actors revealed they were unaware the show was being revived.
Once the news spread, April Rose Pengilly who played Chloe Brennan posted that most of the cast members were "finding out at the same time" as fans.
"Neighbours has captivated its audience for nearly 40 years, building a dedicated and loyal following for the lives and stories of the characters on Ramsay Street," Amazon's Lauren Anderson said.
"We look forward to immersing the audience in new Ramsay Street experiences when we relaunch the show next year for Amazon Freevee and Prime Video customers."

Neighbours' Paul Robinson will be facing an emotional Christmas in upcoming scenes, as his estrangement from his recently returned son David Tanaka continues to weigh on him.
In scenes airing on Monday, December 11, Paul will be determined to make the Lassiters Christmas Fair a success.
However, his evening is marred by the tension between himself and David, who has only moved back to Erinsborough on the condition that Paul keeps his distance from him.
With David desperate to stay away from Paul after the drama with Krista Sinclair, he is avoiding him like the plague, leaving Paul upset by the huge chasm between them.
Meanwhile, Chloe Brennan also has unwelcome news ? Santa has cancelled on them. The family soon come up with a Plan B as they dress Paul up in the Santa suit instead.
While Paul enjoys sharing a lovely moment with his granddaughters, the distance between himself and David still smarts.
With the festive season fully underway, does Paul have any chance of making amends with David, or will their relationship remain frosty?
Actors Takaya Honda and Matt Wilson, who play David and his husband Aaron Brennan, spoke to Digital Spy earlier this year about their return to Neighbours, revealing that it was all about the storylines for them.
"Ultimately, I think for both of us the story that Jason Herbison, our executive producer, pitched to us was something that was really intriguing to get us back onto the show and kick it off and the larger story that was happening on the show itself," Takaya said.
"We could tell that there was something different happening on the show, so we wanted to be a part of that really."

Terese has been busy planning the launch of a retirement experience, which was originally earmarked to take the place of Erinsborough High.
More recently, Terese has teamed up with Jane Harris with an alternative plan for the retirement experience and school to co-exist at the same location.
Scenes airing this week see Terese and Jane give their pitch to the local council, who need to approve the idea before it can go ahead.

In Neighbours' Christmas Day episode, all of the show's families enjoy their respective celebrations, but the festivities don't put the Street's drama on hold.
Terese and Jane are still unsettled from the revelation that Paul was involved in them winning council approval and they wonder what to do. They face a dilemma over whether to come clean or keep their discovery a secret.

Paul decides to make life difficult for Krista following her appointment as the Sinclair family's official representative at the hotel.
The Sinclairs are key investors in the business and they previously sent Krista's sister Reece, played by The OC star Mischa Barton, to keep an eye on things.
Reece has taken charge of the Sinclair family's business interests since the death of her father Conrad and has now appointed Krista to oversee things at Lassiters.
Tuesday's episode (December 19) saw Krista decide to take the title of Executive Consultant and she vowed to start work once Chloe Brennan leaves Erinsborough.
Next week, Paul gets up to no good by setting Krista a seemingly-impossible task.
Paul demands that Krista presents a party proposal to Belinda ? one of the hotel's most picky clients ? by the end of the day.
Krista feels out of her depth, but she decides to embrace the challenge and sets up a meeting with Belinda.
Quickly realising that she can use her family's status to her advantage, Krista charms Belinda with tales of the Sinclairs' experiences with the rich and powerful.
Krista is delighted when she manages to complete Paul's challenge ahead of schedule, well aware that this isn't what he'd hoped for.
It's round one to Krista in the latest hotel rivalry, but will Paul step up his plans to bring her down?

Paul Robinson's past is revisited next week.

Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has confirmed the full details of Paul Robinson taking centre stage in the show's 9,000th episode.
The long-running soap reaches this impressive milestone next Monday (March 4) ? and fans can expect some nods to the past as Paul's colourful history is revisited.
The episode sees Aaron Brennan set out to give Paul's new girlfriend Chelsea Murphy some home truths about what he's capable of.
Aaron is irritated when Chelsea asks if Paul can spend some time with his young granddaughter Isla.
The barman is grieving the loss of his husband David Tanaka and is struggling to forgive Paul for his inadvertent role in causing the tragedy.
After refusing Chelsea's request, Aaron becomes concerned over how quickly she has immersed herself into Paul's world.
Fearful that it won't end well for Chelsea, Aaron steps in and tries to warn her about what she's taking on.
Aaron takes Chelsea on a 'Paul Robinson Greatest Hits' tour, sharing all the shocking details of his dastardly past.
With Chelsea focused on her own secret agenda, will she really be put off from Paul so easily?
Viva Bianca, who plays Chelsea, recently teased her character's future by saying: "The thing about Chelsea is she's always got something else kind of ticking. And in this instance, it turns out things aren?t quite as they seem. Let's just say she's a really effective manipulator, and she does somewhat work her way into Paul Robinson's good books."
She added: "Chelsea sticks around for a while and has quite a bit of business to tend to, and is determined to do so. So you'll be seeing a fair bit of me over the next few months."
Recent episodes have seen Chelsea scheme her way to securing a managerial position at Lassiters, stepping in to oversee the running of the hotel while Paul is distracted by his grief for David.
Neighbours airs its 9,000th episode on Monday, March 4.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
CHELSEA has been a great addition to the cast. Like what her & PAUL have got going. Both seem to be using the other with no strings attached.

Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson will be left upset next week after his ex-wife Terese Willis rejects him once again.
In scenes that will air on Monday, April 22, Paul is busy continuing to help Terese work through her recruitment issues with her new business ? retirement experience Eirini Rising.
With Terese growing increasingly stressed in the lead-up to the building's big opening, Paul's desire to help his former partner also grows, leaving Jane Harris suspicious of his motives.
But unknown to Paul, an exhausted Terese experiences a very unsettling dream which reminds her just why she and Paul split up.
Her mind takes her back to Paul's recent crime of trying to cover up Krista Sinclair's 'murder' (before he found out that she was still alive), as well as Paul's subsequent dumping of Terese at the altar in an attempt to protect her from the fallout.
Meanwhile, Paul's new girlfriend Chelsea Murphy is growing increasingly jealous of how much attention he is giving Terese.
An upset Chelsea tells Paul that he's kidding himself if he thinks he'll ever get what he wants from Terese again, and she's later proved right when Terese's upsetting dream causes her to pull away from Paul.
Paul is left deeply disappointed ? is this the end of the pair's rekindled friendship?
Actor Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul, recently told Digital Spy that he thinks his character will soon reach a point where he is forced to "realise that Terese is not interested".
"But that doesn't mean that he is ever going to stop," he teased.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

Neighbours' Paul Robinson to finally confess his love for Terese Willis
Things are set to get even more complicated between the former couple.

Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson is set to confess his love for his ex-fianc?e Terese Willis.
Terese has been through it in recent weeks, with her marriage to Jarrod "Toadie" Rebecchi falling apart after he slept with his ex-wife Melanie Pearson.
It came as he felt Terese snubbed him to spend more time with Paul as they worked together to set up her retirement experience, which saw her relive painful memories of him leaving her at the altar.
As she begins therapy sessions for her upsetting dreams about Paul, Terese is given a wake-up call by scheming Chelsea Murphy.
Scared by someone uncovering her lies about Krista Sinclair's hotel sauna trauma, she is brutally honest with Terese and tells her that no woman will ever stand a chance with Paul while Terese is around.
When Terese points out to Chelsea that she is the one who is in a relationship with Paul, Chelsea shockingly reveals that Paul is only using her as a way to make Terese jealous.
Angered by the revelation, Terese confronts Paul who emotionally confirms that what Chelsea said is true. He declares his love for Terese, but all doesn't quite go as planned as Terese angrily tells him she'll never allow herself to be fooled by him again.
Paul actor Stefan Dennis recently revealed his feelings over Terese's return to the Australian soap and what might be in store.
"I would love to say yes to that and I hope that's going to be the case! I absolutely adore working with Bek," he told Digital Spy when asked if he is looking forward to more drama between the former couple.
"I've been fortunate ? all of Paul's ex-wives have been great to work with and they're all gorgeous women. But Bek is the pinnacle. Bek is very professional, and in my opinion an extremely good actress. She gives so much. If we're doing a two-hander scene together, she just gives me so much in her eyes and I like to hope I give the same to her. At the same time, she's so damn naughty! That makes her so fun to work with as well."

DS article - off-camera death of Rosemary Daniels (Joy Chambers):
Neighbours lines up off-camera death for classic character
Rosemary last appeared on screen in 2010.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a60747491/neighbours-rosemary-daniels-death/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has lined up an off-camera death for classic character Rosemary Daniels.
The character, who was played by Joy Chambers, first appeared on screen in 1986, making several appearances before her main stint came to an end in 1998.
Chambers last appeared as Rosemary in 2010, with the actor passing away in September at the age of 76, with a statement noting that she had ?passed away in her sleep early this morning surrounded by loved ones.?
?Joy will be remembered as a Logie award-winning actress, a best-selling author, a poet, a philanthropist and an exceptional businesswoman who worked alongside her husband to build one of the largest independent production companies in the world,? continued the statement.
Rosemary?s off-screen death will be referenced in next week?s scenes after her nephew Paul learns of her passing, with the character making a plan to see family in New York City following the news,
The developments come amidst a dramatic storyline involving Chelsea Murphy after the schemer made a swift departure after Krista exposed her awful actions.
Krista has her own issues with ex-boyfriend Leo, but he shows he still cares for her as he scares drug dealer Shannon away.
Krista, however, lashes out and explains that she doesn?t need him to protect her given how their relationship ended.
Leo responds by saying that Krista broke up with him, with the pair left at a stalemate as they go their separate ways.
Shannon approaches Krista again but is soon put in her place, though she inadvertently causes a disastrous chain of events as she accidentally drops a bag of pills.
Things get worse when the pills are later found by Leo?s daughter Abigail.

Neighbours' Paul and Krista to catch out Tess in death week
Damning evidence comes to light.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a61847446/neighbours-spoilers-paul-krista-catch-out-tess/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours' Paul Robinson and Krista Sinclair gather some incriminating evidence against Tess Carmichael next week.
The pair celebrate an early victory as they finally secure cast-iron proof that Tess is plotting against them.
Last week, Tess offered Paul the opportunity to buy the Sincast Corporation's share of Lassiters ? which would give him full control of the business again.
Paul played along with Tess's offer, but confided in Krista and his son Leo Tanaka about how it all seemed too good to be true.
In follow-on scenes next week, Paul continues to string Tess along as she hands over the contract of sale for the Corporation's share of Lassiters.
Krista then talks to Paul in private, explaining that the report commissioned from the expensive mystery shopping firm Tess recommended was bogus.
This proves that Tess and her accomplice Heath Royce have been looking for ways to sneakily embezzle money out of the Lassiters accounts.
Paul suggests that it's time for a deeper dive into Tess and Heath's accounts to find out exactly what they've been up to.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie Hargreaves is surprised as she discovers the details of Heath and Holly Hoyland's relationship.
Sadie Rodwell lets slip to Mackenzie that Holly has been seeing Heath while he's also sleeping with Tess.
Mackenzie tries to convince Holly that her fling isn't a good idea, but Holly feels judged by her comments and refuses to listen.
Tess orders Heath out to Warrawee Station to confirm that the business has been completely wound up. Still annoyed by Mackenzie's meddling, Holly agrees to join Heath on his trip to Mt Harper in the Outback.
Holly lies to her father Karl and stepmum Susan by claiming that she's going away with a friend from the housekeeping department at Lassiters.
Before the lovers head off, Mackenzie confronts Heath again after discovering that he underplayed the extent of his involvement in an insurance fraud scandal.
Mackenzie also gets confirmation that Heath is merely toying with Holly. Heath responds by threatening Mackenzie again.
Unaware of Heath's sinister behaviour, Holly heads off to the Outback with him. The pair agree to switch off their phones, enjoying the escape from the stresses of life in Erinsborough ? but the relaxing atmosphere won't last for long.
This episode marks the beginning of Neighbours' 'Death in the Outback' week, which will culminate in the demise of one character.
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, August 19.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.

Neighbours' Paul to spark suspicion after Terese and Toadie split
Does he still want Terese back?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a61976475/neighbours-spoilers-paul-terese-toadie-suspicion/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson sparks concern about his motives next week as he surprises his ex-wife Terese Willis with an unexpected gift.
Paul can't resist showing his support for Terese as she struggles following her sudden split from Toadie Rebecchi.
Earlier this week, there was relief all round on Ramsay Street as Toadie was confirmed to have survived his near-death experience in the Outback.
While Terese looked forward to a fresh start with Toadie, he clearly had other ideas as he dropped the bombshell that they couldn't be together anymore.
Next week, Terese throws herself into work at Eirini Rising following the heartbreaking split.
Terese's friends Harold Bishop, Susan Kennedy and Karl Kennedy all encourage her to take some time to herself, but she ends up taking on their workload to distract herself.
Susan and Karl decide that it's best to keep quiet rather than antagonising Terese by questioning her approach.
They maintain their stance even when Terese thoughtlessly throws out their work on Eirini Rising's intergenerational fitness programme, wanting to start from scratch with her own ideas.
Later, Paul is offered the chance to purchase a large stock of floral arrangements at a cheap price. He immediately decides to gift them to Terese.
Although Paul's motives are sincere, Susan is suspicious that he could be trying to reunite with Terese.
Seemingly unconcerned, Terese seeks out Paul to express her thanks for his ongoing friendship. Is there a chance this could turn into more again?
Neighbours bosses have previously announced that Toadie will be leaving the show in the coming weeks.
Confirming the decision back in June, Ryan Moloney ? who plays Toadie ? commented: "After 30 years of playing Toadie, I will be leaving Ramsay Street. I can't tell you what is happening to the character ? maybe I could be the next Jim Robinson. Or maybe I'll be the next Harold Bishop and keep popping back over the years.
"And although I won't be bringing you our fantastic storylines from in front of the camera, I will be bringing them to you from the other side, behind the camera. I've just started director training and have just finished filming my first episode as director ? so I really hope that you enjoy that."
Neighbours airs the Terese and Paul scenes on Tuesday, September 3.
The next Neighbours storyline spoiler will appear here on Digital Spy on Wednesday (August 28) from 7.30am.
