Give Freya a warm welcome.

Neighbours will introduce a brand-new character named Freya next year, portrayed by Phoebe Roberts.

An official announcement was posted on the Australian soap's Twitter yesterday (October 30), reading: "Here's something exciting for you [star emoji] The very talented Phoebe Roberts is joining our regular cast! Keep your eyes peeled for Freya early next year #Neighbours."

Nothing is known about this Ramsay Street newcomer, and the fact the character's surname is unspecified has inspired fans to come up with a number of theories.

One responder on social media suggested Freya could be Nicolette Stone's ex-partner, as "she loves a leather jacket too".

"I'm guessing relation to Sheila....... Or... Amy..." and "Ex of Nicolette's?" read two more tweets.

Some readers may recognise Roberts from her time on Channel 5's Lie With Me, where she played Becky Hart opposite EastEnders favourite Charlie Brooks' protagonist Anna Fallmont.

Neighbours reveals more details on new regular character Freya
The mystery newcomer now has a surname.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...zniak-details/

Neighbours has confirmed further details about new regular character Freya, who will make her debut on the soap early next year.

Freya, who will be the first new regular character to join the show since Nicolette Stone (Charlotte Chimes) arrived last year, was first revealed to be heading to Ramsay Street over the weekend.

While fans have been busy speculating over what Freya's surname could be and how this may relate to other characters, the mystery has now been solved as Neighbours has confirmed it is Wozniak

But whilst she doesn't share a surname with any current characters, that doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility that she may have a connection with an Erinsborough regular, so fans will have to wait to find out more about Freya.

The soap has, however, teased a couple of details, revealing that she is "the ultimate mystery girl", "keeps her cards close to her chest" and that she is "not afraid to bend the rules".

It sounds as if Freya could be causing some trouble...

The new face will be played by Melbourne-born star Phoebe Roberts, who appeared in Channel 5 thriller Lie With Me earlier this year alongside EastEnders' Charlie Brooks.

The actress has said that she is "so thrilled to be joining the Ramsay St family", adding: "Neighbours is such a huge part of the Australian film and TV industry, it's very exciting to be involved in something so iconic that is also so loved in the UK. As a kid, I tuned in to watch all the drama of Erinsborough unfold, it's surreal to now be a part of that drama!"

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison, who also produced Lie With Me, said: "We were all blown away by Phoebe's performance in Lie With Me and knew Ramsay Street had to be her next stop. We've created a fascinating character for her that is complex, mysterious and a risk taker, she's going to be a lot of fun and Phoebe has already nailed the role."

Phoebe began filming her first scenes last week and she will make her debut on our screens in early 2022.

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Roxy questions Freya's intentions.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...xy-suspicious/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Roxy Willis becomes suspicious of Freya Wozniak after catching the newcomer red-handed in next week's episodes.

Freya (Phoebe Roberts) is dating Levi Canning (Richie Morris), although she's also hiding a secret or two at the same time, appearing to be on the search for a mystery man.

In upcoming scenes on Channel 5 and 10 Peach, Levi, Freya, and several other Ramsay Street residents enjoy a friendly cricket match on the street.

It's during this match that Levi finds out Freya is looking for somebody she claims to be her cousin.

Freya's story is a little strange, but Levi is smitten by her and the chemistry that they share causes him to put aside his doubts.

But Roxy (Zima Anderson) isn't completely convinced...

The following day, Freya tries to persuade an initially reluctant Levi into letting her ride in a police car. Levi eventually gives in and agrees, and the pair have another great date.

However, Freya's true intentions over the joyride become clear to the viewer when Levi's back is turned.

Levi doesn't spot Freya's actions, but Roxy does ? and it results in her wondering just what Freya is doing with Levi.

When Roxy brings up the subject of his girlfriend to Levi, it's clear that Levi doesn't care and is falling for Freya. Will Roxy let this go?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, January 31, Tuesday, February 1 and Wednesday, February 2 at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK). The scenes air on Monday, February 7, Tuesday, February 8 and Wednesday, February 9 at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours newcomer Freya Wozniak to investigate Levi Canning's past
What is she up to?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-canning-past/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours newcomer Freya Wozniak looks set to continue her mysterious behaviour by secretly researching Levi Canning's past.

Freya, played by Phoebe Roberts, has arrived in Erinsborough on a mission to track down a mystery man, who she claims is her cousin.

Viewers recently saw Freya ask Ned Willis (Ben Hall) if he'd ever seen her "relative" before, making out that they'd lost touch. However, she hasn't spoken to Levi about her intentions so far, and it's unclear whether this man is really her cousin.

Neighbours' end-of-episode promo on Thursday's edition on Channel 5 (January 27) featured footage of Freya continuing to grow closer to Levi (Richie Morris).

When Freya sees Levi's medication in upcoming scenes, he opens up to her about his epilepsy.

Levi also explains how he was diagnosed with the condition after being attacked by thugs when he was younger.

Neighbours' trailer showed that Freya is clearly interested in this, later taking the opportunity to secretly put "Levi Canning assault" into Google.

Why is Freya so interested in Levi and how does this fit with her overall mission? All will be revealed.

Show bosses have previously tipped Freya as one to watch in the coming weeks, as her mysterious behaviour builds up to a big storyline.

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison said last year: "We've created a fascinating character for [Phoebe] that is complex, mysterious and a risk taker, she's going to be a lot of fun and Phoebe has already nailed the role."

Phoebe added: "Neighbours is such a huge part of the Australian film and TV industry, it's very exciting to be involved in something so iconic that is also so loved in the UK. As a kid, I tuned in to watch all the drama of Erinsborough unfold, it's surreal to now be a part of that drama!"

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

"Secret Motive

Newcomer Freya's true intentions are revealed.

Levi is determined to learn more about Freya. During a friendly cricket match in Ramsay Street, Freya comes clean, admitting the reason she came to town. She is looking for her missing cousin, whose scarf Ned was wearing in photos at Kyle and Roxy's wedding.

Levi isn't happy and is annoyed. He is tired of being played and lied to, by people he begins to like.

Acknowledging their undeniable chemistry, Levi decides to leave that behind them and takes Freya on a joyride in the police vehicle. But when he ducks out for some lunch, Freya uses the opportunity to go through the police database to look for information on her cousin's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Roxy spots her.

Freya is exposed and terrified. She feels her cover is blown and is desperate for Roxy to keep the information between them. Freya's selfish intentions aside, she's scared of jeopardising Levi's career. He doesn't deserve that.

Will Roxy dob in Freya and tell Levi what she is doing?"

Neighbours' Freya Wozniak to go on the attack after Roxy Willis breaks in
Roxy closes in on Freya's secret.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...a-roxy-attack/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Freya Wozniak attacks Roxy Willis after Roxy breaks into her house in next week's episodes.

Freya (Phoebe Roberts) has started dating Levi Canning (Richie Morris) but has a hidden agenda, appearing to be on the search for a mystery man. Roxy (Zima Anderson) becomes the only person suspicious over Freya, and this leads to a confrontation between the pair.

In upcoming scenes on Channel 5 and 10 Peach, Roxy is persuaded to get to know Freya better as she makes her suspicions heard, but the girl's day out only leaves Roxy with more questions than before.

Roxy asks Freya questions about her life but Freya continues to be vague, which only makes Roxy more determined to get to the bottom of what she's hiding.

Taking drastic measures, Roxy decides to break into Freya's home and climbs through a window.

Inside, Roxy is suddenly tackled to the floor by Freya, who grabs her large and rather threatening hunting knife (in a scene that was previously teased in the 2022 promo last month). Though the situation de-escalates, both are left shaken.

Freya doesn't respond well to the break-in and begins to push Levi away, while Roxy is more convinced than ever that Freya's keeping a big secret, although her concerns aren't taken seriously.

Levi is conflicted over whether he should give Freya space over what happened or to go and see her, and it looks like their romance begins to fizzle out.

Levi eventually arranges a romantic date and appears to win over Freya. But once again she remains mysterious and reluctant to discuss her life.

At the same time, Roxy persuades Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan) and Ned Willis (Ben Hall) to accompany her to the city of Benalla, where the Wozniaks are apparently from. The trio work on finding clues about Freya's life, but initially struggle to find any real leads.

Will Roxy find something in Benalla that will help to expose Freya's secret?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, February 7, Tuesday, February 8 and Friday, February 11 at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK). The scenes air on Tuesday, February 15, Wednesday, February 16 and Tuesday, February 22 at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Freya Wozniak to make shock confessions to Levi Canning
Levi is left heartbroken once again.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...vi-confession/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Freya Wozniak finally comes clean to Levi Canning in next week's episodes.

Since her arrival in Erinsborough last month, Freya (Phoebe Roberts) has been hiding her true intentions. She began dating Levi (Richie Morris) and used his position as a police constable to her advantage.

In upcoming scenes, after Levi offers support following the break-in by Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson), Freya decides to tell him everything.

Levi is stunned and hurt when he learns about the real reason Freya is in Erinsborough and the story behind her missing 'cousin' Gareth, who is actually her ex-boyfriend.

Freya admits to manipulating and stringing him along from the start, and Levi leaves heartbroken.

Levi is less than pleased later on, when Freya doesn't appear to be staying away from him.

Eventually, Roxy encourages Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) to take Levi out on a day trip to help him move on from Freya.

But Levi struggles to get over what happened, and with all of his recent failed relationships including with Bea Nilsson, Amy Greenwood, and Felicity Higgins, he begins to wonder if he'll ever be lucky in love.

Later on, Levi learns that Freya has no plans leaving Erinsborough as she continues her mission to find Gareth, which frustrates him.

He then does some digging of his own without Freya's knowledge, and finds a potential lead on Gareth's whereabouts.

Levi investigates the lead, and he ends up drawn further into the potentially dangerous situation...

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, February 14, Tuesday, February 15 and Friday, February 18 at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK). The scenes air on Wednesday, February 23, Thursday, February 24 and Wednesday, March 2 at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
