Neighbours newcomer Logan will have a mysterious storyline.

Through an announcement on social media, the soap teased that Logan, played by Matthew Backer, will arrive in Erinsborough with a "mysterious connection" to another Ramsay Street resident.

"We're very excited to welcome Matthew Backer to the cast," Neighbours wrote on Instagram.

"His character, Logan, will arrive in Erinsborough in the coming weeks, but what's his reason for showing up in town? And who does Logan have a mysterious connection to on Ramsay Street?"

Meanwhile, a show trailer released earlier this month suggested that Logan will form a romantic connection with Aaron Brennan following the death of Aaron's husband David Tanaka.

In the clip, Aaron is introduced to the newcomer, with Logan later telling him: "I can't even imagine what you?ve been through after you lost your partner."

Matthew teased to a fan on Instagram that while Ramsay Street "did welcome me with open arms", there was "a fair bit of suspicion" towards his character.

David actor Takaya Honda previously expressed a desire to see Aaron find love again.

"David loves Aaron too much to want Aaron to live the rest of his life lonely and sad because David's died [?] He absolutely wants Aaron to move on," he told Digital Spy.

"I don't know how quickly Aaron should move on, but it is Neighbours so it could be a week or two ? I don't know!"

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

Neighbours confirms newcomer Logan's mystery connection
What is he hiding?

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours newcomer Logan hides a secret connection to David Tanaka as he heads to Erinsborough next week.

Show bosses have cast Matthew Backer in the role of Logan, who'll be taking centre stage in a big new storyline with Aaron Brennan over the coming weeks.

Next week's episodes see Logan cross paths with Melanie Pearson, who is currently on the road with her Drinks Divas van.

Melanie feels upbeat and rejuvenated following her time away, but when things get busy at the van, she spontaneously asks Logan to assist her.

Once the morning rush is over, Melanie and Logan share stories from their travels around Australia.

Before long, Melanie starts to see Logan as a kindred spirit. When Logan mentions that he now wants to find somewhere to settle, Melanie quickly recommends Erinsborough as the perfect location.

Logan agrees to join Melanie when she heads back home following her trip, but there's a suspicious moment when he stares intensely at the image of David on the side of the van.

There's clearly more to Logan than he's letting on, but why is he so interested in the picture of David?

Aaron has been trying to rebuild his life following the tragic death of his husband David in February. He'll befriend Logan in the new storyline, unaware of his potential ulterior motive.

Logan's casting was announced in May, when Neighbours posted on social media: "We're very excited to welcome Matthew Backer to the cast.

"His character, Logan, will arrive in Erinsborough in the coming weeks, but what's his reason for showing up in town? And who does Logan have a mysterious connection to on Ramsay Street?"

Meanwhile, Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: "Melanie has a chance meeting with Logan during her travels and this becomes the catalyst for him to travel to Erinsborough.

"There's more to him than meets the eye and he hones in on Aaron, but it's not a conventional romantic storyline.

"Aaron certainly isn't in the market to meet anyone. The story takes some very unexpected turns, which I don't think the audience will see coming."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, June 24.
