Ramsay Street is thrown into chaos in Neighbours this week, as Melanie is taken hostage by unhinged prison escapee Eden.
Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) is alone at the Kennedy house when Eden (Costa D'Angelo) bursts in.
"Eden was the last person Melanie expected to walk through her door," Lucinda, 58, tells TV WEEK. "She's angry for all the harm he's causing, but can't help but be scared for her life."
After he was involved in a violent scuffle that put one of Erinsborough's own in hospital, Eden is on the run.
"Eden is behaving erratically and is unpredictable," she says. "Although he's not in a good physical condition, who knows what he is capable of?"
Melanie's scream alerts Holly (Lucinda Armstrong Hall), who was about to drop by, to instead retreat and get help.
Eden becomes enraged and, armed with a scalpel, he ties her to a chair and holds Melanie hostage.
Thanks to Holly's alert, the police spill out onto Ramsay Street to handle the situation as anxious residents look on.
Toadie (Ryan Moloney), however, isn't willing to take any chances and wait for police to execute a plan, impatiently taking matters into his own hands to save his ex-wife.
"I think Melanie knows Toadie would always be there for her deep down if she needed help," Lucinda says.
Will Toadie be able to overpower Eden, or has he not only put Melanie in more danger, but himself too?
And why is he willing to risk his life for his ex? Could he still have feelings for her?
