Neighbours reveals newcomer Bea's first scenes as her arrival shocks Elly Conway.
Elly's sister is here to stay!
Neighbours has revealed a first look at Elly Conway's sister Beatrix making her arrival in Erinsborough.
Show bosses have just announced the casting of Aussie singer Bonnie Anderson in the role of Beatrix, who's a new regular for the show.
Beatrix – or Bea for short – makes her first appearance on Friday, May 18, when Elly is shocked to realise that she's in the area.
Elly (Jodi Anasta) is thrown when she spots a familiar-looking girl across the Lassiter's complex and decides to follow her.
In the end, Elly loses sight of the new arrival – but it's not long until she'll be reunited with Bea properly.
At the weekend, it was revealed that Bea's arrival will spark some big new storylines as she has a tempestuous history with Elly, which could turn the Ramsay Street schoolteacher's life upside down.
With Bea's dark past and a very familiar looking boyfriend, viewers can be assured that Bea's arrival will be anything but quiet.
Bonnie said recently: "I do pinch myself, this is an amazing job to have. Even though I started filming in February, it still feels surreal being on set, seeing how it all happens and being a part of it. To be able to show a different side of me and work on characters is really fun and I am really lucky to be here."
Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison added: "We were so impressed with Bonnie when we first met her that we created the character of 'Bea' especially for her. She is a true talent and a perfect fit for Neighbours – I can't wait to see what the future holds."
Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, May 18 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
