Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours is set to line up a romance setback for Aaron Brennan and Rhett Norman.
Estate agent Rhett was introduced as a love interest for Aaron earlier this year, following the tragic death of Aaron's husband David Tanaka in February.
After making a play for Aaron, Rhett was disappointed when he was left hanging, as Aaron wasn't ready for a new relationship.
It seems a romance between the pair could now be on the cards, with Rhett's return being revealed in the show's recent 2025 trailer.
In scenes set to air on Monday, January 6 and Tuesday, January 7, Aaron bumps into Rhett at The Waterhole. After Rhett asks Aaron to join him for a movie, Aaron clams up and rushes back to work.
Jane later shares heartfelt advice with Aaron, pushing him to reconsider the positives of having some company after losing David.
Encouraged by Jane's words, Aaron asks Rhett out, and Rhett accepts.
The next day, Aaron's date plans are derailed when Yaz asks him to urgently collect some lights for her Lights Up event.
With Jane's support, Aaron convinces Rhett to join him in the city as he runs errands, instead of going to the cinema like they planned.
Sadly, things don't go quite to plan. Unable to navigate the city and constantly mentioning David, a panicked Aaron thinks he's ruining the date.
Luckily, Rhett realises what's happening and manages to calm Aaron's nerves, but have Aaron's actions made him take stock?
Speaking to Hospital Radio Reading, Rhett actor Liam Maguire recently opened up about his character's relationship with Aaron, sharing what the pair need to do to make things work.
"I think there is probably more that they need to know about each other, to figure out if that stuff is going to work," he said.
"I think they do have chemistry. There's more facets to Rhett and I think he probably hasn't experienced very much of Aaron either. There's other facets to Aaron that Rhett hasn't necessarily seen."
"When Rhett meets Aaron, he's in a different kind of space," Maguire continued. "He's still grieving and there's quite a lot going on for him.
"So, I think if they could figure it out, that would be great. It's whether or not they'd be able to get there, or if they just end up being great friends. I guess we'll see."
