I can understand Andrea being her twin but Heather? A psycho who made Sonya's life hell in her final months and tried to kill her? If I'm Toad no way I'm okay with that.

I am glad Kerry didnt tone things down. Great acting.
But yeah this explains why Dee is back short term. Toadie and her realise their relationship wont work whilst she talks to her mum and for good reason.

Neighbours airs new Dee Bliss twist after surprise return
Toadie won't be happy.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...illing-latest/
Neighbours spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Neighbours' Dee Bliss could be about to risk her happiness with Toadie Rebecchi following the return of Heather Schilling.
Dee (Madeleine West) and Toadie (Ryan Moloney) have finally reunited after years apart, but the reappearance of Heather now threatens to throw a spanner in the works.
Earlier this week, the show's Australian-pace episodes revealed that Heather is now locked away in the same prison wing as her daughter Andrea Somers.
Dee caught a glimpse of Heather while visiting Andrea, which gave her food for thought over her mum.
In Thursday's episode on 10 Peach in Australia (May 21), Dee broke the news to Toadie that Heather is back on the scene.
It turned out that Heather had been released from the psychiatric ward, having successfully completed her treatment.
Karl Kennedy ended up visiting Heather to see how she was doing and report back to Toadie and Dee.
With Heather on her best behaviour, Karl later informed the couple that everything seemed to be fine.
Toadie optimistically hoped that this would be the end of the matter, but Dee later secretly made a phone call to the prison, wanting to set up her own visit to Heather.
It's no secret that Toadie wants nothing to do with Andrea or Heather after how much trouble they've caused in the past, so could this lead to new tensions with Dee as she delves back into her family history?
Neighbours fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in June.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
So psychotic Heather puts on a acting performance and Karl thinks all is A okay? How gullible are these people :rolleyes:
nearly as guilible as us. :)
and after finn so soon another taken in so quickQuote:

Neighbours lines up a huge new twist for Dee Bliss and Andrea Somers
Andrea's scheming will step up a gear.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-prison-twist/
Neighbours is planning another big twist for twins Dee Bliss and Andrea Somers (both played by Madeleine West), as a prison visit between the sisters leads to a shocking attack.
Andrea has recently been trying to appeal to kind-hearted Dee to convince Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), who Dee recently rekindled a romantic relationship with, to grant her some access to Andrea and Toadie's young son Hugo, who Toadie has full custody of.
Australia's TV Soap magazine has now revealed that Andrea is set to try a shocking new tactic in her plan to be reunited with Hugo as she seduces new prison guard Owen (Johnny Ruffo) and convinces him to agree to stake out Dee's movements on Ramsay Street.
Owen soon 'bumps into' Dee in Harold's Cafe and tells her all about Andrea's struggles in prison, which prompts Dee to visit her scheming sister once again.
But what poor Dee doesn't know is that she's about to walk into a trap, as Andrea uses Dee's interest in gardening to persuade her to tend some plants with her in the prison garden, before attacking Dee and knocking her out.
Andrea then swaps clothes with an unconscious Dee and, with Owen's help, escapes from jail while posing as her sister.
After Dee wakes up, she's horrified to find herself dressed in Andrea's prison uniform and her pleas to the guards are ignored as they believe Andrea is up to her usual manipulative tricks.
Thankfully the twins' mother Heather Schilling (Kerry Armstrong), who is also in jail, does believe Dee and she vows to convince the authorities that Andrea really has escaped.
Meanwhile, back on Ramsay Street, Andrea seizes her opportunity and snatches Hugo from the Rebecchi house.
After escaping to an abandoned house with Hugo and her new lover Owen, Andrea realises that she doesn't have a next move planned and calls Heather to ask her for help in forming an escape plan.
Heather plays along but in reality she and Dee are plotting a trap to expose Andrea and put her back in prison. But as the sting gets underway, a desperate Toadie interrupts and inadvertently makes things worse – much to Dee and Heather's horror.
Has Toadie unwittingly ruined the plan to put Andrea back behind bars?
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Are visitors actually allowed to enter the prison (garden) ?
I very much doubt it, but this is soapland, where normal rules fly out the window!Quote:

Dee gets so quick easy visits to see Andrea and her hair is it real, the length and roots etc.,
The actress’ hair is actually brown. The blonde is a wig and it’s not a very good one.Quote:

Nope
It's kind of distracting knowing it's a wig. Why not either have Dee/Andrea with brown hair or have Madeleine bleach her hair?Quote:

It also didn’t make sense for them or Andrea to have the same regrowth. Don’t think they’re allowed bleach in prison so her blonde would have faded a lot in that amount of time. And if they were natural blondes then there wouldn’t be brown regrowth.
I also love Heather as a character. I’m warming up to her. She seems to really want to turn her life around and cares deeply for her daughters.
The reason why they didn’t bleach Madeleines hair, I’d because she has her natural hair, in Playing for keeps.
Not a spoiler, but an interesting crossover for Neighbours and H&A fans...

Home and Away star's surprising connection to rival show
Jessica Redmayne, who plays Harper on Home and Away, has shared a surprising throwback photo from an iconic Neighbours storyline.
https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/home-...030059364.html
A current Home and Away star has shared a surprising connection to a very popular and very chaotic Neighbours storyline, revealing she once starred in the competing soap, but in a very subtle way.
Jessica Redmayne, who plays Harper Matheson on Home and Away, shared on her Instagram Stories that she played the body double for character Andrea Somers on Neighbours. If that name doesn't quite ring a bell, then surely the name Dee Bliss (played by Madeleine West) does ? Dee was an iconic '00s character on Neighbours before she appeared to meet her tragic, untimely end on the day of her wedding to Toadie when he drove their car off a cliff and into the sea. Idiot.
Home and Away star's surprising connection to Neighbours
Anyway, what does that have to do with Neighbours character Andrea? Well, Madeleine West returned to Neighbours in 2016, introduced as Dee back from the dead, but it turned out to be Andrea Somers, a woman impersonating Dee in an attempt to swindle some money.
Now, in this already convoluted storyline, enter Jessica Redmayne, who played Madeleine West's body double when Madeleine was playing Andrea, not Dee, and you have the full picture!
Jessica recently shared a snap on her Instagram story revealing the body double gig in a throwback photo from five years ago.
Jessica's stroll down memory lane was to commemorate that she's now playing a lead character on a show and now needs her own body double, due to Harper's pregnancy storyline, which she posted in her next snap.
Home and Away fans loved the little throwback and fun fact
"Wow, I watched Neighbours back then (along with Home and Away of course, and of course I watch both shows now) and didn't know this until now," one person commented.
"Wow, I really thought it was Dee playing both parts!" another said, while someone else chimed in, "Oooh, that?s a great interesting fact."
Meanwhile, another fan had other things on her mind. "I'm telling you, Jessica looks like, Marcia, Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch. Can anyone else see this?"
Tbh, I do.
