Neighbours star Benny Turland shows off his dance moves in new promo featuring the cast
That's when good neighbours become good dancers.

It might be (very) cold outside in the UK, but over in Australia, summer is on its way. So to celebrate, Neighbours has released a brand new promo video ahead of the soap's return for the new season.
Benny Turland, who plays Hendrix Greyson, takes centre stage in the clip, which can be viewed at the top of the page.
The show said: "As we approach the festive season here is a little gift from us to you. Whether you are able to dance around your neighbourhood, your garden or even just your living room, we hope this brings a smile to [your] face."
As well as Benny's killer dance moves, the clip hinted at a number of upcoming storylines between characters, including a mystery woman with Toadie Rebecchi ? and Paul Robinson's continued disapproval of Hendrix.
Unfortunately for Neighbours fans in the UK, there'll be a long wait until the new episodes are aired on Channel 5, thanks to a transmission gap between the UK and Australia.
As if that wasn't frustrating enough for some viewers, Channel 5 bosses recently announced that Neighbours' final episode of the year will air on Wednesday, December 23 and won't return until Monday, January 4.
Good things come to those who wait, we suppose.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Hendrix is the star there. Great performance, assuming he did all the moves himself.
Interesting they show couples together and have Jane with Clive, and also Shane and Amy sharing a look.
Good to see more close contact. Things are going back to normal hopefully?
What's with the face fungus on Karl?
It?s mo-vember. ?No shave November? which is used to raise awareness for testicular cancer.Quote:

Whilst fans of Neighbours in the UK are currently getting their heads around the Christmas break and the extended gap between us and Australia (even launching a petition), they have been kept busy with the latest promo for the show.
The video, that must have been tiring for Hendrix Greyson actor Benny Turland, depicts the character dancing his way across Erinsborough and crossing paths with the rest of the cast while he is at it.
While one returnee is clear as day there with Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton) giving Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan) a suggestive look, there is another person included that has fans guessing ? the mystery woman standing next to Toadie (Ryan Moloney) who we mostly only see from the back.
We know that it is a returning character and someone who was ?much loved?, so who could this returning favourite be? Here are our guesses.
And while you?re at it, check out the full promo for yourself here ? the woman in question appears around the 1 minute 35 second mark.

Maggie Hancock (Sally Cooper)
Now, this has been a popular guess from a lot of fans due to the character being placed next to Toadie in the promo. The two characters had feelings for each other back in 2002 despite her being married and living at number 32 with her family. However, the returnee is said to be ?much loved? and it would be fair to say that the Hancock family ended up being a bit of a misfire and they were written out almost as quickly as they arrived. So sure it is possible that Maggie is on her way back, but we doubt it and suspect the placement next to Mr Rebecchi may just be to throw us off the scent.
Ruth Wilkinson (Ailsa Piper)
Ruth Wilkinson left Ramsay Street alongside Philip and Hannah Martin (Ian Rawlings and Rebecca Ritters) back in 1999 and she has not been back to Erinsborough since. Many are suspecting that she is indeed the mystery lady and she did know Toadie quite well given that he was best friends with both of her children.
Bringing Ruth back now would be good timing with Amy Greenwood back in town and would likely get fans excited about the prospect of a reunion between Amy and Lance (Andrew Bibby). Only the person in question does have longer hair than the most recent pictures we have seen of Ailsa so again, a possibility, but we would not be confident enough to put money on it.
Sharon Davies (Jessica Muschamp)
Neighbours loves bringing back characters from the 80s? and some on social media are looking at Muschamp?s character as a possible match for who we have seen in the promo. Her talent management website does show that she has similar hair to what we have seen and she certainly does bare a likeness. But what business would Sharon, who was last seen in 1990, have on the show now? Toadie did once find some jewellery with SD engraved on it in the attic of number 30. Could that have been very early foreshadowing of Sharon?s comeback?
Bronwyn Davies (Rachel Friend)
Or could it even be Sharon?s sister, Bronwyn? Again, we have not had any suggestion as to why she would be back on Ramsay Street as she was last seen leaving to reunite with Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan) and there does not seem to be any cause for her to make a comeback.
She was a beloved character back in the day though, arguably more so than Sharon, so we wouldn?t be surprised if she did make a return, for whatever the reason may be.
Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden)
Now if we were to bet money, we?d put a little something on it being Melanie Pearson in that promo. Like the others, we can?t think of one good reason why she would be back, but based off how we last saw Lucinda in the 30th anniversary interviews, she certainly looks like the best match. She does have a slight link on the street with Jane Harris being the niece of her ex-husband Joe Mangel (Mark Little), so there?s that.
And you do not get quite as much of a beloved character as Melanie either. A fan favourite from the late 80s and early 90s, Melanie is the definition of a classic Neighbours character who has one of the best laughs in soap (it may be no coincidence that Toadie is laughing lots while talking to her). Maybe it is just wishful thinking on our part but as we say, it certainly looks a lot like her and the phrase ?much loved? does not just get banded about.

Neighbours reveals first look at January stories as the show takes a Christmas break
The soap returns to Channel 5 in January.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-january-2021/
Neighbours spoilers follow for UK viewers.
Neighbours has aired its final episode of the year on UK screens today (December 23) ? but Channel 5 bosses are softening the blow with a new trailer to promote the show's return.
Wednesday's visit to Ramsay Street is the last one for UK viewers until Monday, January 4 ? although fans can look forward to plenty of Ramsay Street drama when the show makes its comeback.
Returning character Amy Greenwood, played by Jacinta Stapleton, takes centre stage in the new promo as she heads back to Erinsborough for the first time in 20 years.
Amy develops a surprising romantic spark with Shane Rebecchi, but will this make his estranged wife Dipi jealous?
The Rebecchi family will also be welcoming back their youngest daughter Kirsha.
Kirsha is keen to reunite her parents, but may have a tough task on her hands to make this happen. Her presence on Ramsay Street also means viewers will see how the full trio of Rebecchi children ? Kirsha, Yashvi and Jay ? interact together for the first time.
Elsewhere on Ramsay Street, tensions rise over Nicolette Stone as Paul Robinson becomes determined to bring her down. David Tanaka also clashes with his husband Aaron Brennan, regretting their baby deal with Nicolette.
Sheila Canning is also in for a nasty shock as her ex-partner Clive Gibbons becomes romantically entangled with Jane Harris.
Things only get worse when Sheila's health takes a turn for the worse, leading to a shock collapse.
Neighbours airs returns on Monday, January 4 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5. The show remains on screen on 10 Peach in Australia throughout the festive season.
Lucinda Cowden is officially returning so it's likely her with Toad

Neighbours 2021 preview: 10 spoilers for the year ahead
What's in store for the residents of Ramsay Street in 2021?
https://www.radiotimes.com/news/soap...view-spoilers/
It was a milestone year for Neighbours in 2020 with the big 35th anniversary proving to be a hit with viewers and the soap overcoming any pandemic woes to bring viewers the soap they love.
Despite a short delay between UK and Australia?s outputs, it seems we?re in for a treat when the soap returns in 2021.
With big-name returnees, a possible death on the way and some surprises from fan-favourites, showrunner Jason Herbison and the Neighbours cast have teased what we can expect from the coming year ? and who could be rocking back up to Ramsay Street.
Karl and Susan
It has been a rough 2020 for Karl and Susan Kennedy (Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne) but just because it is a new year, don?t expect things to start running any smoother for them.
?Karl and Susan?s marriage will remain strong, but there will be fresh challenges as the year unfolds. Now that Hendrix is under their roof, it?s a safe bet that any trouble he gets into will have consequences for them. We?re also in the midst of filming a major storyline for them that will air in the early spring, involving the return of a character from the recent past.?
As for who that character from the recent past is, start speculating now!
The return of Amy Greenwood
Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton) is back on UK screens in the opening weeks of 2021 and she will instantly remind everyone why she was such a great character when she was first on the show.
?The late ?90s are back and her name is Amy Greenwood! She?s a force of nature and will be touching the lives of many residents, including her old mate Toadie. We are also revisiting a character from the late 80s ? someone who left a very distinctive mark on Ramsay Street back in the day. It really has felt like a time warp on set, particularly when this character reunites them with Jane, Clive and Paul.?
We assume that late 80s return is Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) who has been confirmed to be making a comeback, we?ll just have to wait and see whether she shares the screen with the characters mentioned. It is worth mentioning that Melanie did not share many scenes with Clive Gibbons (Geoff Paine) back in the day so this could be someone else?
More trouble from Nicolette?
Jane came back on the show full-time in 2020 and she was joined by her daughter, the troublesome Nicolette Stone (Charlotte Chimes). She has been making many waves across Ramsay Street since turning up and is about to enter a surrogacy storyline with Aaron Brennan and David Tanaka (Matt Wilson and Takaya Honda).
?Jane and Nicolette?s relationship is deliciously flawed so there will be ups and downs, however, they definitely want to be in each other?s lives. Jane isn?t always a fan of Nicolette?s decisions and therein lies the conflict. Annie and Charlotte have developed great chemistry and we love watching them together.
?Nicolette has more than a few shades of Izzy about her, though she is not without redeeming qualities. Like many people, she just wants love and acceptance but her life hasn?t been easy and some unhealthy behaviours have set in. There is always the potential for her worst instincts to be unleashed but at the heart, it?s all coming from insecurity.?
The Rebecchi family saga continues
Shane and Dipi Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan and Sharon Johal) have seen their marriage fall apart thanks to drug use and an affair this year and it seems that there will not be an easy fix and reuniting these two in the New Year.
?Shane and Dipi?s twenty-year marriage combusted in spectacular style in 2020 and the coming year will be about finding the way forward ? will that be as a couple or separate entities? They are both facing major life questions which are very identifiable. They also have the added complication of their son Jay?s arrival. It turns out he?s not exactly the model son they believe him to be.?
Kirsha will also be back too and actress Vani Dhir has been speaking to us about her return stint, and the shock of finding out how bad things have gotten with her parents. On her mum?s affair, she said: ?It definitely was a shock for Kirsha because she has been away for so long and wasn?t aware of how bad it got but I don?t think she blames or has anything against her mum because she knows that her mum knows that it was a mistake and she will never hold that against her.
?I don?t think Kirsha is on any sides, she blames both of them because she acknowledges that they both made mistakes, however, she has faith that both her mum and dad can see past each other?s mistakes and try to work it out.?
What?s next for Roxy?
Roxy has calmed somewhat since her introduction and has gone on to become a fan-favourite. Now in a relationship with Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan), Jason has teased a storyline on the way for her and whether we are likely to see more of her iconic family back on the street.
?Roxy has developed into a classic Neighbours character and we love her. Unfortunately, she will soon make a very fateful mistake which will have far-reaching implications for Kyle and several of her neighbours. It was great to see her mum Gemma return and we?d love to see Adam back one day too.
?Gaby is another family member who has long been on my radar. Roxy?s actually our only link to the iconic Ramsay family and that?s something we are keen to explore further. We are overdue the return of some Ramsay?s, don?t you think??
Paul v Nicolette?
Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) never has a quiet time and is always getting into feuds over his family ? normally with them. That will not change in 2021, but he may have met his match in Nicolette?
?Paul is always at the epicentre of stories and 2021 will be no different. His Achilles heel is his family and we?ve already seen him express doubts about David and Aaron having a baby with Nicolette. Unfortunately for Paul, Nicolette is not afraid to stand up to him and the battle lines will be drawn. He is also very protective of Harlow and isn?t shy about interfering in her life, whether she wants him to or not.?
One character that is mentioned a lot by fans is Glen Donnely (Richard Hugget), Paul?s half brother who has many reasons to hold a grudge. On the chances of him returning, Jason as not ruled it out and seems confident he will appear at some point.
?We actually speak about Glen Donnely every single year and I?m sure we will see him return at some point. I have to keep a few of these up my sleeve as I?m running out of people to bring back!?
Another death on the way?
Last year saw two big Neighbours deaths as Gary Canning (Damien Richardson) and Finn Kelly (Rob Mills) were both killed off and it looks like another resident will be meeting a sad end next year. Not only that, but some new location filming seems to be on the way too.
?We are always looking toward our next big thing. It?s no secret that COVID messed with a lot of our plans in 2020 and when it comes to massive stunts, we?ve learned to have a couple of options handy so we can pivot accordingly. That said, we are currently planning a big storyline that will take us to another Australian city we?ve never been to before, all going well. We try to keep the death rate down, we feel this is a point of difference to the other soaps, but there may be one demise on the horizon.
As for cast changes, don?t expect the current lot to all stay as there will be just as many changes as previous years with Jason saying: ?The cast is always in motion and there will be a few changes, no more or less than any other year.?
A return for Aaron and David?s buddy?
While they are in the midst of an awkward surrogacy situation at the moment, earlier in the year David and Aaron tried their hands at surrogacy with both Emmett Donaldson (Ezra Justin) and Brent Colefax (Texas Watterston) staying with them. It seems that their story may not be completely over?
?We feel there is a lot more mileage in the fostering angle and we hope to tell more stories with Emmett and Brent when the time is right. Their story isn?t over but any future twists will be complicated by the fact that David and Aaron are now starting a family with Nicolette.?
Trouble with Hendrix and Jay on the way
We all spent so long waiting to meet Jay Rebecchi (Dhruv Malge) and had no idea he would end up being the next teen troublemaker but it seems that his problematic ways are only se to get worse ? and Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland) will continue to get dragged into them.
?We have a major story arc unfolding between Hendrix and Jay, which will ultimately lead to trouble for several unsuspecting residents of the street. Amy Greenwood?s return also sets the cat amongst the pigeons, no disrespect to Gary intended! We are also mindful that in such challenging times our audience needs to have a laugh too, so we?ve put a special focus on finding the humour in situations. There is some old-school Neighbours in the pipeline.?
A new Ramsay Street love triangle
You never have to look far in Soap Land for the next big love triangle and this one involves some of the more mature members of the cast. Fireworks are on the way when a drunken night leads to something more between Clive Gibbons (Geoff Paine) and Jane Harris ? and Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) will not be pleased when she finds out?
We spoke to Geoff and Colette about what to expect when the story kicks off in the New Year
?She?s the hurricane of Ramsay Street and Clive and Jane are thinking how do we not set off this ticking time bomb,? Geoff said of the tricky situation his character finds himself in.
?Sheila is very proactive in reaching back into the past to see if she can manipulate the future. I won?t say too much, but she makes a phone call. Sheila would make the Godfather scared when she gets worked up about something. There is a lot of ducking and weaving, some bushes will be discovered that nobody knew were there. There is some great comedy in the story. It?s so much fun to play that stuff.?
