Neighbours Spoilers – Paul and Leo unite to break up Chloe and Nicolette?

On Neighbours in Australia over the next two weeks, will Leo’s return put a spanner in the works for Chloe and Nicolette? Plus there’s an unexpected twist when the unborn baby is put in danger once again.

This week’s Neighbours in Australia (from Monday 14th June, and from 12th July in the uK) sees Leo Tanaka’s hotly anticipated return to Ramsay Street.

For anyone who needs a refresher, Leo (Tim Kano) is David’s (Takaya Honda) twin brother, and the pair are Paul Robinson’s (Stefan Dennis) children from a one night stand he shared with Kim Taylor back in 1985.

Leo left Australia for New York back in 2019, returning briefly at the end of the year to see if he was a match to be a kidney donor to David. After that brief return, he hopped back on a plane to the states, and we can only presume has been growing his business empire over there ever since.

This week, he returns to Erinsborough, much to Paul’s excitement. The pair only discovered that they were father and son in 2017, but their relationship ended on a sour note after Leo’s jealousy got the better of him. Leo and Terese had a short-lived relationship, and he was livid when his father ended up reuniting with Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) shortly after their breakup.

Paul is keen to rebuild the relationship with his son, and there’s one thing that they both have in common – business!

With both Pierce Greyson (Don Hany) and Leo back in town at the same time, there’s a deal to be done. Paul spots a business opportunity that has some added personal benefits, and sets about putting a plan together.

A new promo for the show, currently airing in Australia, suggest that Paul teams up with Pierce to break up Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) and Nicolette (Charlotte Chimes). “Why are these arch enemies teaming up to break up this lovely couple?” questions the promo. 

“I’m betting Nicolette won’t like it at all,” says a cunning Pierce as he chats with Paul about their idea. It seems the plan is for Pierce to sell his beloved vineyard to Leo, and they know the perfect person who could run it. Chloe!

Chloe and Leo had a brief relationship early into Leo’s time on Ramsay Street, and she’s always held a special place in his heart. Paul and Pierce hope that by reuniting Chloe with her old flame, she’ll begin to see that there’s a life beyond Nicolette, and realise that business-savvy Leo is actually much more suited to her.

When Leo proposes to Chloe that she helps him work on the vineyard reopening and takes charge of the refurbishment, she’s delighted. It’s a great step in her career and she jumps right on board!

Next week (commencing Monday 21st June, and from 19th July in the UK), the plan seems to be working perfectly. The refurbishment works bring them closer together, and it’s clear that their old bond is reforming.

Meanwhile, an oblivious Nicolette is actually excited to meet Leo, having heard plenty of good things about him from both David and Chloe. He’ll be the uncle of her newborn baby, after all, and she’s keen to develop a good relationship with him. She knows that Chloe and Leo have a history together, but she’s determined to look past that, and doesn’t want to come across as a jealous girlfriend.

Leo, however, feels differently. Thanks to Pierce, he knows all about Nicolette’s spell of bad behaviour and her flakiness over the baby arrangement, and wants to make sure she’s not going to jeopardise David and Aaron’s (Matt Wilson) happiness.

As his feelings for Chloe begin to re-ignite, he starts to develop his own plan to drive the two women apart. He tries to get Chloe to open up about her relationship problems, hoping to find a chink in the armour that he can use against them.

Hendrix (Benny Turland) soon takes note that something is off, and he starts to suspect that Leo is looking for more than just a business partner.

Being on team Nicolette and Chloe, he warns Nic to keep a close eye on Leo, and encourages her to accompany her girlfriend to the vineyard. He even prepares the pair a picnic lunch to give them a chance to spend some alone time together.

At the vineyard, Chloe and Leo go off to work on the refurbishment, while Nicolette heads off alone in search of the perfect picnic spot. Unfortunately, she gets lost while looking around the sprawling complex, with her baby brain disorientating her. As she looks round for a familiar waypoint, she trips and falls.

Just a couple of months after her injury at the hands of Holden left her baby in danger, history is repeating herself. She falls hard and writhes in pain, once more all alone and terrified she’s about to lose the baby.

Will someone find her and get her to the hospital in time?
