Neighbours will air Elly Conway's temporary exit scenes today (September 4), as she announces that she's taking time out from Erinsborough.
Show bosses wrote in an unplanned departure storyline for Elly earlier this year, as Jodi Anasta took a three-week break from the role to recover from exhaustion.
Today's episode sees Elly at the centre of tension on Ramsay Street, as she refuses to let Finn Kelly (Rob Mills) play any role in her pregnancy.
Finn offers to attend Elly's birthing class with her so that she doesn't have to go alone, wanting to support her since the baby's father is his brother Shaun.
Elly insists that she'd rather be independent and do it by herself, but Finn is hurt when she later invites along David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan instead.
Elly's sister Bea Nilsson angrily accuses her of being insensitive towards Finn's feelings, sparking a row between the siblings.
Afterwards, Elly makes an abrupt departure, heading off to spend some time with her mum to escape the Finn drama for a while.
Neighbours producers were forced to rewrite some key storylines at the last minute to facilitate Jodi's short departure.
odi has since returned to filming and recently explained how she got back on track, telling 9Honey: "I think it's that thing of self-love. We all overlook it so often, but just resting and having a balanced diet, exercise and water, and spending time with loved ones.
"Talking about your problems and connecting with people, I think that's all part of self-love.
"And even I forget to do it sometimes, and that's when I need to take a minute and get myself back on track."
Neighbours airs today at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
