Neighbours Spoilers – Susan’s discovery threatens Chloe and Elly’s honeymoon

Next week on Neighbours, a shocking discovery by Susan puts Chloe and Elly’s honeymoon plans in jeopardy.

Three months after Neighbours returned with the wedding of Toadie (Ryan Moloney) and Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou), next week sees the second wedding of the 2023 revival, as Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly) marries Elly Conway (Jodi Gordon).

  

The whirlwind wedding came about after Chloe began to experience symptoms of Huntington’s Disease, which she was diagnosed with back in 2018. While she always knew she would eventually develop symptoms, she was expecting them to start in her 50s – not now!

Chloe offered Elly an ‘out’, not wanting to be a burden on her or her daughter Aster (Amelia Gavin), but Elly responded by not only telling Chloe that she would stick by her no matter what, but by proposing!

Next week, everything is prepared – the couple are marrying at Lassiter’s Pavilion, Susan (Jackie Woodburne) is all set to be their celebrant, and an uncharacteristically generous Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) has even offered to pay for their European honeymoon.

However, as the wedding day draws near, Susan discovers a shocking secret when she takes Elly’s daughter Aster for a pamper afternoon at the Lassiters day spa.

Aster is out of sorts during the day, and when she presents Susan a drawing of her looking sad in a house, Susan presses her on what’s wrong. While Aster initially refuses to say anything – telling Susan that her grandma Liz (Susan’s sister and Elly’s mum) asked her to keep it a secret – Susan tells Aster that as she’s family, she can tell her.

Susan eventually learns that Liz has been leaving 6-year-old Aster home alone for hours on end as she galivants about with her new boyfriend.

Susan is furious as she later tells Elly what’s been going on. Elly too is distraught, unable to believe that her own mother has been leaving her daughter on her own at such a young age. She has a blowout to Liz on the phone and uninvites her from the wedding.

However, it leaves another big problem – with Aster’s dad Shaun (Brad Moller) also out of town and no other babysitters in Sydney, Elly can’t go on her honeymoon.

Unwilling to watch the couple lose out, Susan steps up and offers to head to Sydney to look after Aster while they’re away. While it’ll mean she’s away from Erinsborough for a while, Karl (Alan Fletcher) gives his blessing, and it’s decided; the honeymoon is back on!

Now the only thing left to do is get married. What else could go wrong?

When Neighbours returned earlier this year, Alan Fletcher explained that the producers had accommodated breaks for a number of the cast members, and with Susan heading to Sydney for the duration of the “Chelly” honeymoon, it sounds like Susan may be off-screen for some time.

“People have moved on, people have made plans, their agents have organised things,” explained Alan, who already had multiple tours already organised – both the ‘The Doctor Will See You Now’ tour and the tour for his new album ‘The Point’ – when Neighbours‘ revival was announced.

“Other people have planned holidays which can’t be moved, and all sorts of things. But Neighbours is incredibly accommodating, because we have a large cast and we don’t shoot all year, so there is a lot of flexibility, and they’ll work it out.”

New episodes of Neighbours air Monday–Thursday on Network 10 and 10 Peach in Australia, and on Amazon Freevee in the UK.
