It may seem unthinkable to most Neighbours fans, but the show's upcoming hot air balloon stunt could mark the end of Karl Kennedy's medical career - forever!
When Lauren Turner's hen celebrations go disastrously wrong next week, good old reliable Doctor Karl (Alan Fletcher) is one of the first on the scene to treat the wounded. As usual.
But if he knew what was to come for him as a consequence, poor old Karl might have just stayed at home...
If you haven't heard yet, next week's Neighbours episodes see Jacka Hills make a terrifying move in his ongoing war with Ned Willis, sabotaging the hot air balloon which has been booked for Lauren's hen party.

Jacka's murderous act leaves lives hanging in the balance as Lauren, Paige, Piper and Elly all find themselves in an out-of-control balloon that's hurtling straight back to the ground.
These brand new spoiler pictures show Karl doing what he does best in the aftermath, as he helps his friends and neighbours in their time of need.
He also has a particularly tricky job on his hands when it comes to treating Jacka's own wife Regan (Sabeena Manalis), who gets caught up in the disaster too.
And Karl's grandson Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard) is there to witness it all, getting upset as the pressure mounts.

Karl also knows deep down that the situation is serious, having made a controversial decision at the crash site which could come back to haunt him.
Has Karl just destroyed his reputation as Erinsborough's most trusted medic?
