Neighbours star Madeleine West reprises her role for new Fake Dee twist
She'll be back on our screens very soon.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...-return-twist/
Neighbours star Madeleine West has filmed another stint with the show as the ongoing Fake Dee saga takes a new twist.
Madeleine will be reprising her role as conwoman Andrea Somers as part of a new plot for the Rebecchis, which will see them unwittingly employ her mum as their new nanny.
Show bosses recently announced the casting of SeaChange actress Kerry Armstrong in the role of Alice Wells, a devious new arrival who'll be worming her way into the Rebecchi family.
Although Alice claims that she's a retired nanny, she's actually the mother of Andrea – the schemer who posed as Dee last year.
Fans will have to wait and see how the drama unfolds, but it will pave the way for Andrea to reappear in scenes to be aired next month.
But what does Andrea have planned for Toadie and Sonia this time? And should they be fearful of Alice?
Show boss Jason Herbison recently teased that the Fake Dee drama was far from over, saying to Digital Spy: "I've always talked about it as a three-act story, but I'm now going to have to revise it to four acts as we're currently filming a new twist.
"This angle wasn't mapped at the start, but it's great territory to mine. I love watching Madeleine West on set, her performance is utterly riveting.
"The timeline for telling all the chapters has been very spread out and I appreciate that requires viewer patience, but there is an endgame and we're all excited to tell it."
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Neighbours reveals Fake Dee's return storyline as Madeleine West reprises the role again
Alice and Toadie both pay visits to Andrea.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...y-alice-wells/
Neighbours airs Fake Dee's return scenes next week as she appears in two more episodes of the show.
Madeleine West has reprised her role as scheming impostor Andrea Somers, who's spent the past few months receiving treatment at a psychiatric facility.
The Aussie soap has recently introduced Kerry Armstrong in the part of Andrea's mother Alice Wells, who's wormed her way in with the Rebecchi family by offering to become their new nanny.
Next week, Alice pays a visit to Andrea at the facility, pretending to be a kindly volunteer in front of the doctors.
Once alone with Andrea, Alice reveals that her evil plan to drive Sonya away from Toadie (Ryan Moloney) is progressing well, especially as she's been spiking her drinks with aspirin.
Later in the week, Toadie makes his own trip to Tasmania after a request from Andrea's doctor, who wants to discuss her treatment.
Toadie is surprised to find that Andrea is far more lucid compared to last time he saw her, and they even have a conversation about her estranged mother.
The Ramsay Street lawyer is still oblivious to Alice's connection to Andrea, and when he returns home to Erinsborough, Alice is pleased to discover that Toadie still hasn't figured it out.
Afterwards, Alice texts Andrea to tell her not to contact Toadie again, allowing her to continue her campaign to oust Sonya (Eve Morey). Will it pay off?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, November 13 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
So what is this trump card fake Dee has that Alice was talking about. A person she saw at the markets. Real Dee?
I think it’s the real Dee.
how can real dee have toadies child when he slept with fake dee and who is heather
Madeleine West interview with Radiotimes.com:
Madeleine West on HUGE new Andrea twist – and when she’s back in Neighbours
"There's more to come in 2019 - it's the best storyline the show has ever had!"
Neighbours has teased yet another twist in the Fake Dee storyline as evil Alice Wells (Kerry Armstrong) reminded disturbed daughter Andrea Somers (Madeleine West) they have one more secret that could change everything – cueing up the next chapter in the sensational saga for 2019.
Friday 14 December’s episode saw Alice flee Erinsborough after her true identity as the mother of deluded Dee lookalike Andrea was revealed, and her attempt to kill Sonya Rebecchi (Eve Morey) by poisoning her saw terrified Toadie (Ryan Moloney) keep a vigil at his wife’s bedside. Alice (or ‘Heather’ as she’s known) paid one last visit to Andrea in the psychiatric hospital and told her the plan to get rid of Sonya had been derailed, but reminded her offspring she still has a trump card…
“Remember the person you told me about at the Salamanca Markets? When the time is right, you tell Toadie. Because that could change everything…” Who did Andrea meet at the Tasmanian tourist attraction? How is this a game-changer? And when are we going to find out? RadioTimes.com put all these burning questions, and more, to Madeleine West herself…………………

Neighbours star Madeleine West hints at a return for REAL Dee after today's huge twist
What is Andrea's trump card?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...madeline-west/
I don't get how revealing Real Dee would help Andrea be with Toadie and Hugo?
But yeah looks like Real Dee is happening. Probably after Sonya dies. Although I am holding out hope Fake Dee and Alice are the cause of Sonya's death
I don’t think Sonya will die. It seems to predictable.
If the real Dee is such a psychopath ain't it a good job she nearly died 20 years ago rather than Toadie having to suffer this weirdo woman. new daughter and grandma. how would willow and Hugo fit in this stupid story if it turned out Alice/heather who Toadie had never heard of actually turns out to be his actual mother in law. I think Neighbours will turn into hollyoaks if they start reimaginging the past. might as well have Sheila canning wake up and realise she is actually Cheryl Stark or Doreen Burns recently released and woke up dreaming about a street she would want to live on after she left wentworth. there is no way unless they say its all been a dream that she can be Dee. I am sure jim robinson comes back to tell toadie he worked in the supermarket and this really is dee
she probably will. The will they divorce wont they divorce story thats been going on for 3 years is enough to get anyone to shoot themselves even the audience
It's all so very :confused: Would be wild if Sonya does die and Toadie and Dee get back together:eek: And you would think the police would be onto Alice attempting to contact Andrea:hmm:
I wonder if they kill off Kirsha? She barely been on screen for the past six or so months and we knows it's one of the Rebecchi's :hmm:
Yeah I was thinking the same thing for a minute but now not anymore. The writers have said that 5 storylines will come together. Kirsha’s character has nothing to do with Andrea. I’m back to thinking it’s Sonya. She’s involved in the Andrea, Alice and siege storyline. Also I think we will see the real Dee return. Sonya could die after side effects from Alice poisoning her. That’s 5 storylines entwined together. I’ll be sad to see her go. Disliked her character until the whole Andrea storyline. Eve’s acting has been really good. The only thing that will soften the blow, is having real Dee back.

Neighbours plans more Fake Dee drama after Sonya Rebecchi's cancer diagnosis
Andrea could get baby Hugo back.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...cer-diagnosis/
Neighbours unleashes a new Fake Dee drama next week, at the worst possible time for Toadie and Sonya Rebecchi.
The popular couple are about to take centre stage in emotional scenes as Sonya (Eve Morey) is diagnosed with cancer following her recent worrying symptoms.
As Toadie (Ryan Moloney) is struggling to come to terms with the news, he finds himself with even more to worry about when he receives an upsetting letter from Andrea's lawyers.
It turns out that Andrea (Madeleine West) is now trying to reclaim custody of her baby son Hugo, making some early preparations for when she's released from the psychiatric facility.
Although the Rebecchis try their best to ignore the impending threat of Andrea, the problem becomes very real when a social worker arrives on their doorstep.
The inspector has been sent by Andrea's lawyers, who are trying to find some way to prove that Sonya is an unfit mother to Hugo.
Toadie and Sonya manage to deal with the social worker without much difficulty, but Sonya can't help worrying about what the future could hold.
Sonya thinks that if Andrea's team find out she's battling cancer, they might also use her illness to argue that the Rebecchi house isn't a stable and happy place for Hugo full-time. Will Andrea stoop to new lows to get what she wants?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, February 8 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
Digital Spy article:
Neighbours hints the real Dee Bliss WILL return as Sonya Rebecchi drops a bombshell
But is Fake Dee telling the truth?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...s-real-return/
Neighbours has dropped the biggest hint yet that the real Dee Bliss could be returning to Erinsborough later this year.
The Aussie soap is revisiting the mystery of what really happened to Toadie's first wife, after more than two years of Fake Dee causing chaos for the Rebecchi family.
Next week's episodes see Sonya Rebecchi (Eve Morey) open up to her brother-in-law Shane over what really happened when she went to visit Fake Dee at the psychiatric facility earlier this month.
Sonya confronted Fake Dee and convinced her to sign over full custody of baby Hugo to Toadie, but an off-screen conversation between the two women left Sonya feeling secretly unsettled.
When Sonya opens up to Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) about the tense meeting, she explains that Fake Dee told her about an encounter she had with a strange man who thought she was someone else.
The guy confused Fake Dee with a woman who looks just like her, leaving her convinced that the real Dee could still be out there somewhere.
Sonya doesn't know what to believe after so many twisted games from Fake Dee. Could she have been telling the truth this time? And will Sonya and Shane decide to put Toadie in the picture?
Madeleine West, who plays Dee/Fake Dee, has confirmed that she's due back on set to film another stint on Neighbours later this year.
Speaking to Radio Times about whether she knows the eventual outcome of the storyline, Madeleine explained: "Of course I do! Our producer Jason Herbison had to tell me as I’m in another show on the same network in Australia called Playing for Keeps, which is very glossy and Footballers’ Wives-esque, so I have to know how the Andrea story plays out so I can plan my schedule on both shows.
"Jason has lured me back in with a fantastic storyline that I think is going to be the best in Neighbours’ history. I’m putting it out there, I really don’t think I’m pushing it saying that."
Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, March 1 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Bringing in the real Dee has potential. An Amnesia angle would be a bit too Harold and the Salvation Army, but something else (Witness Protection, long coma perhaps..) could work if she's doing something fun like confronting the fake Dee.
Wonder if Terese , Paul , Leo or Gary will sleep with Dee ? then swap around a few weeks later ?
Of course. It’s only natural on Ramsey street.Quote:

Will we finally be seeing Dee return after all these years?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...return-theory/
Neighbours star Madeleine West has fuelled fan speculation that she's returning to the soap as the real Dee Bliss, instead of imposter Andrea.
It had previously been revealed that Madeline was making a return to the Aussie soap for another stint, but it was not known whether she'd be portraying Andrea or Dee.
But a photo the actress shared on Instagram alongside actor Tim Robards, who plays Pierce Greyson, made many fans think Dee was coming back to Ramsay Street.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw3D3EqJ...ource=ig_embed
Madeline captioned the pic, "attempting to live my best #gameofthrones life," making reference to her Daenerys Targaryen-style hair, although many fans thought her hair was more Dee Bliss than Mother of Dragons.
Tim also shared the pic on his Instagram account and joked: "Such a privilege to mentor young up and coming actors like @madmadswest I see true potential in this one...
"Honestly though, on the flipside Mads has been such a great support and blast of positive and supportive energy, enthusiasm and fun! So lucky to work with a legend of Aussie drama and a genuine and lovely person!"
Earlier this month, actor Alan Fletcher (aka Karl Kennedy) revealed he is about to become embroiled in the ongoing Dee Bliss story.
"For Toadie, there’s this huge dilemma of Dipi and Shane having some sort of evidence that Dee might still be alive," Alan said.
"At this stage, we can't know for sure whether that's true. So Karl has this really interesting thing he does with Andrea to try and help her remember some details about a person – a man who might lead us to information about Dee."
He added: "Karl tries some processes to help her do that. But the big question in the audience's mind will be: how authentic is what Andrea is up to?
"So the level of authenticity in Andrea is what will affect whether or not Dee comes back. And to be honest with you, I haven’t seen any scripts past what we've done there."
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Find her on Instagram, follow her and there's a lot of Neighbours references in her posts... and she has dark hair...

Neighbours' Fake Dee makes a shock deal with Shane Rebecchi as she returns again
What does she want this time?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...rebecchi-deal/
Neighbours kicks off another return stint for Fake Dee next week, as Madeleine West reprises the role once again.
Fake Dee, aka scheming impostor Andrea Somers, reappears on our screens to make a surprising deal with Toadie Rebecchi's brother Shane (Nicholas Coghlan).
Upcoming episodes see Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) receive a tip-off from a contact, who lets him know about Andrea's location.
Mark lets Shane know that Andrea is in Geelong after leaving the psychiatric facility. Rather than pass this information onto Toadie, a hesitant Shane decides to visit her by himself first.
When Shane comes face-to-face with Andrea, she tells the mysterious story of the man she met at the Salamanca Markets, who wrongly identified her as a woman called Karen.
With Andrea now seemingly doing much better and getting her life back on track, her story seems believable – although she can only give limited information as her memory is cloudy.
Despite this, Andrea is adamant that the real Dee Bliss could still be alive – and even hopes that she can make amends with Toadie by reuniting him with his "dead" wife.
As Shane wants Andrea's help to investigate further, she agrees on the condition that he'll help her to see her son Hugo.
Shane agrees to the deal and reluctantly brings Andrea back to Erinsborough – a decision which is sure to spark mixed reactions.
Nervous Shane hopes to speak to Toadie about the situation before he inevitably sees Andrea, but the worst happens when Toadie catches them together first.
Toadie is furious to see Andrea back and can't believe that Shane has been sneaking around. Has Shane made a big mistake?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, May 30 and Friday, May 31 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours confirms a shock return for evil villain in its new Dee Bliss trailer
Watch out, Alice is back…
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...bliss-trailer/
Neighbours has released a tense new trailer which promises answers on Dee Bliss after 16 long years.
The show will be revisiting the Dee storyline in the coming weeks, but that's not the only surprise in store.
Neighbours' new promo, which can be viewed at the top of the page, combines old clips with some brand new unseen ones from upcoming episodes.
Keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of Kerry Armstrong reprising her role as Fake Dee's evil mother Heather Schilling, or "Alice Wells" as she was calling herself last year.
Heather will be back as part of the huge Dee dramas to come, which see Toadie forced to confront the possibility that his first wife is still alive.
The unknown guy who was seen sitting on a bench with a woman who looked like Dee in 2017 is also back as part of the upcoming storyline. Fans have often speculated that 'Bench Dee' is the real one – and it looks like we'll be getting our answers soon enough.
Next week's episodes see Madeleine West make another comeback as Fake Dee, who visits Erinsborough after making a deal with Shane Rebecchi.
Fake Dee is convinced that the real deal is still alive and out there somewhere after her strange meeting with a man at the Salamanca Markets, who thought she was somebody else.
Toadie will once again get his hopes up that Dee is alive – could it be another scam, or will there be a happy ending this time?

Digital Spy article:
Neighbours reveals Fake Dee's new plan as she teams up with an evil villain
Here we go again…
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-plan-heather/
Neighbours airs a worrying new twist in the Fake Dee saga next week, as she's revealed to still be in cahoots with her evil mum Heather.
Scheming Andrea Somers (Madeleine West) is about to return to Ramsay Street after Shane Rebecchi convinces her to help solve the mystery of what happened to the real Dee.
Andrea has revealed she once met a man at the Salamanca Markets who confused her with somebody else. She now believes this could be a telling clue that Dee is still alive and out there somewhere.
Although Toadie is highly sceptical over Andrea's latest antics, Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) can't resist getting involved in the intriguing case.
As Andrea's recollection of the Salamanca Markets incident is hazy, Karl agrees to put her under hypnosis to unlock some hidden memories.
Karl's methods seem to work when Andrea remembers that the name of the man she was talking to was Ian.
Andrea also comes close to remembering where Ian was staying, but she suddenly becomes distraught as she recalls neglectful treatment she received from her mother when she was a child.
Concerned by Andrea's distress, Karl quickly brings her back to the present and tries to soothe her – failing to realise that she may not be entirely genuine with this outburst.
Andrea is rewarded for her help with the Dee case when Toadie lets her have a supervised visit to their son Hugo.
Afterwards, Andrea is full of promises that she'll make things right with Toadie, including helping him to find her mother Heather so that she finally faces justice for trying to murder Sonya.
However, when Andrea returns home to Geelong, she immediately calls Heather and vows to string out the search for Dee for as long as possible.
Andrea hopes that Toadie will get used to having her around, allowing them to be a happy family again.
She also confesses to deliberately giving Toadie bogus information on Heather's possible whereabouts to throw him off the track. Could Toadie find himself fooled by Fake Dee all over again?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, June 4 and Wednesday, June 5 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Article in the latest edition of TV Week (I gather this is the reason that there haven't been any spoilers released as yet, for the following week 1-5 June)
"BACK from the DEAD
Dee is alive - and finally - face to face with her wicked double, Andrea.
It's the question that has plagued Neighbours fans for more than 15 years - is Dee Bliss actually alive? Now, years after she seemingly plunged to her death, the mystery will be finally solved.
The drama in Neighbours picks up as Andrea (Madeleine West) continues to worm her way into Toadie's (Ryan Moloney) life. Thrilled to be invited to a movie night with the family, the con woman seizes the opportunity. She pretends to fall asleep on the couch by the end of the evening, and Toadie lets her stay.
After everyone has gone to bed, Andrea phones Heather (Kerry Armstrong) who has snuck away to Byron Bay in search for "Karen" - the woman they believe to be Dee. Andrea is furious when she realises what her mother has done and jumps on the next flight to northern NSW.
On a tip from Ian (Nathan Carter), Heather has managed to find a man named Riley, who may have more information. But when she enquires after "Karen", he clams up.
Heather begs Riley to reconsider, leaving her details with him. Soon after, however, Andrea confronts her mother: how dare she interfere, just as she's starting to win over Toadie and rebuild her family.
Heather is browbeaten and apologetic, until she receives a text from Riley agreeing to meet; he has information on "Karen". But Andrea intervenes and goes to meet the mystery man herself - or so she thinks.
"Riley has told Dee to meet up with Heather because she seems to know a lot about Toadie," Madeleine, 38, tells TV Week. Instead, Dee is about to meet her doppelganger! "Andrea thinks she's meeting Riley, and Dee thinks she's meeting Heather, Madeleine says. "And then they come face to face..."
As the pair meet on a clifftop, Andrea is shocked to discover Dee (Madeleine West) alive and well, while a confused Dee tries to make sense of a stranger who's a mirror image of herself.
Where has Dee been all these years - and what will she do next? "

id prefer dee staying dead and toadie single
"As the pair meet on a clifftop...…". I would have thought that Dee would want to stay away from clifftops after what happened all those years ago! Haha!
Please don’t tell me that after all this time we find out Dee is really alive only to have Andrea push her off the cliff

Neighbours finally confirms Dee Bliss's fate next week after 16 years of mystery
It's the moment of truth.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ate-confirmed/
Note: This article contains spoilers about the Dee storyline which some readers may prefer to avoid.
Neighbours has confirmed that Dee Bliss will make a shocking return from the dead next week.
Dee will come face-to-face with her doppelganger Andrea Somers in a must-see episode, as the Aussie soap finally solves a 16-year mystery.
Recent episodes have dropped huge hints that Dee is still alive and out there somewhere, living under the new name of "Karen".
New promo pictures now tease the showdown ahead between Real Dee and Fake Dee, as Madeleine West takes on the challenge of playing two different characters at the same time.
Next week's episodes see Andrea's scheming mother Heather Schilling set the ball rolling when she flies to Byron Bay to hunt for Dee.
Heather's search for answers leads her to Park Bench Guy, who was seen with a woman who looked like Dee in 2017. More recently, he has also been seen on a photo that was in Andrea's possession.
Park Bench Guy – real name Riley – initially refuses to acknowledge that he knows "Karen" under questioning from Heather. Despite this, Heather remains pushy and won't let him get away that easily, handing over her details and urging him to help set up a meeting with "Karen".
When Andrea hears what her mum is up to, she flies out to Byron Bay too in the hope of putting a stop to Heather's meddling.
In the midst of a row between mother and daughter, Heather gets a message from Riley which confirms that "Karen" wants to meet.
Ordering Heather to stay put, Andrea heads to the meeting alone and is shocked to finally come face-to-face with Dee on a clifftop. We have a feeling this can't end well…
Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
And from radiotimes.com
Andrea and Real Dee FINALLY meet in Neighbours clifftop showdown!
It's the moment we've all been waiting for…
https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2019...ftop-showdown/
Neighbours finally resolves the mystery of whether the real Dee Bliss (Madeleine West) is still alive on Friday 5th July, when the character reappears 16 years after apparently plunging to her death in a dramatic showdown with doppelgänger Andrea Somers.
What happens when the two identical women meet on a clifftop in Byron Bay?
Dee supposedly died hours after her fairy tale wedding to Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) back in 2003 when the happy couple’s car plummeted off a cliff into the ocean en route to their honeymoon. Toadie was saved from drowning but Dee’s body was never found.
In 2017 ‘Dee’ made a shock return to Ramsay Street explaining she survived the crash but had suffered from amnesia for years and had only just started remembering her former life. However, Dee was actually imposter Andrea Somers posing as Toadie’s lost love as part of an elaborate fraud scam masterminded by another of Mr Rebecchi’s exes, Sindi Watts.
Andrea claimed her teenage daughter Willow was Toadie’s child as ‘Dee’ was pregnant when she disappeared, but the deceitful blonde’s true identity and secret agenda was eventually exposed.
While still under the impression Andrea was Dee, Toadie allowed himself to be seduced, almost destroying his marriage to Sonya Rebecchi, and Ms Somers fell pregnant for real.
Just over a year later, word reached the Rebecchis that troubled Andrea was in a psychiatric unit following a breakdown (she now thought she was actually Dee… keeping up?!) and Toadie was handed their baby son, Hugo.
How does Andrea track down the real Dee?
West has been back for another stint more recently as Andrea claims she has evidence the real Dee is still alive, with her and Toadie embarking on a wild goose chase around Australia following the trail, although deluded Andrea secretly wants the search shut down hoping she can settle down and play happy families with her little boy and baby daddy.
Andrea’s meddling mum Heather Schilling (Kerry Fox) is determined to find Dee, and on Thursday 4th July Ms Somers discovers she has gone to Byron Bay to investigate the latest lead – a woman called ‘Karen’ who may be the real Dee Bliss is living there. On Friday 5th July Andrea angrily confronts Heather for her interference, but is stunned to learn ‘Karen’ has agreed to meet.
Deciding to go to the rendezvous on a cliff top alone, curious Andrea comes face-to-face with the woman she impersonated – at last giving fans confirmation Dee did not die… But with so many twists and turns leading up to this moment, where on earth does the blockbuster plot go from here?!
I gather that those of you in the UK have already seen this (twitter) Ch5 promo...

Digital Spy article after the Ch5 promo:
Neighbours reveals shock death fears in Dee Bliss storyline.
A 16-year mystery isn't ending well for someone.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...iss-storyline/
Surely they don't kill off Dee after all this? Its possible they do and Andrea thinks she gets away with it but then is caught when this Riley dude goes to the police.
Have a feeling there's a tussle and Andrea topples over accidentally. To kill off Dee so soon would be anti-climactic and wouldn't make any sense.
Yeah, the viewers would not be impressed - and they would let their feelings known. I think Andrea going over the cliff would enable them to focus on Dee being back, rather than continuing the doppleganger story. I think that's been done and they just need to move onto the Dee being alive aspect.Quote:

In all seriousness
If the real Dee was to fall off the cliff then maybe Andrea will take that identity as Karen and make everyone believe Andrea was the one to die. Not far fetched and something they could do. I mean would they have access to real Dee's DNA from somewhere? I suppose they could DNA test her to Willow. So maybe that won't happen.
