Neighbours Spoilers – Roxy proposes to Kyle
Coming up on Neighbours in the UK and Australia, Roxy and Kyle take the next big step in their relationship. Meanwhile, Melanie’s attempt to keep Nell happy could backfire spectacularly.
These episodes air from Monday 22nd November.
There’s nothing like the sweet feeling of love to perk you up when you’re down. At least, that’s Roxy Willis’s (Zima Anderson) philosophy when it comes to her boyfriend.
Poor Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) has been through the wringer this year. He fed his cousin’s girlfriend a poisoned kangaroo pie, suffered burns on his face following a chemical mishap, and now is reeling from some horrifying news.
After watching his friend Hendrix (Benny Turland) go through a cancer scare, Kyle decided to go and get his own check up. It was there that he learnt he could possibly have testicular cancer.
Under the guise of a fishing trip, the loveable larrikin headed to ‘Franga’, the colloquial pseudonym of his hometown of Frankston, in order to mull things over with his childhood GP. It was there he was delivered the devastating confirmation.
However, things were set to get even worse. Kyle underwent further testing which revealed that the cancer had spread into his lymph nodes. Chemotherapy would be required as a result.
Playing his cards to his chest as always, Kyle didn’t want anyone, especially his nosey grandmother Sheila (Colette Mann) to find out. Unfortunately, in episodes which aired last week in Australia, a tired and distraught Roxy revealed all to Sheila.
The biggest clanger of all? The fact that the doctors had to take both of Kyle’s testicles in order to save it from spreading.
Initially furious, Kyle can’t quite figure out how to handle his emotions. But as the anger he is feeling begins to subside, he begins to see the true pressure that his girlfriend was under and the enormity of what he was asking her to do.
As the pair finally accept the future that they are faced with, one that they can’t choose, they realise that there is only one thing they need to do to be happy – always be truthful with the other.
It’s easy for Roxy, but poor Kyle is going through an inner turmoil.
Without the ‘boys’, Kyle feels like a changed man. Although it’s easy to say that his orchiectomy hasn’t changed him, it is quite obvious that it has changed the way he perceives himself. As a result, he’s worried about his future with Roxy.
She’s open and honest about loving him regardless, but all Kyle seems to be doing is mulling over how he’s going to keep his girlfriend happy – and no less, satisfy her – now that he is two stones lighter.
As it becomes apparent what is going on, Roxy realises that there is something she can do to prove her love. She’s going to propose to Kyle!
It does come across as convenient timing for some, but in the former party girl’s mind, there is absolutely nothing else that she wants. In fact, the timing would be perfect, testicular cancer or not. After all, they’ve been through a lot in their short time together.
When the opportunity presents itself, Roxy takes it, and pops the question to her beloved. Over the moon by her show of love, Kyle says yes. The pair kiss and it’s official – they’re engaged!
Of course, there’s happiness, but Sheila has her reservations.
Fortunately, Roxy is able to convince ‘Mama Jugs’ that she and Kyle couldn’t be in a better place. With her assurance, Sheila celebrates with her grandson and new granddaughter-in-law-to-be!
And if there’s one thing Roxy and Sheila have in common, it’s shopping.
Together, they head off to find the perfect wedding dress!
Meanwhile, as the Flamingo Bar Christmas event hots up, Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) decides to embrace her inner Madame Zolga.
With the Christmas party the event to be at this year in Erinsborough, the zany PA decides to flex her psychic abilities and give readings for all her neighbours.
As the readings go on, it seems not everyone is happy with what they hear.
However, when young Nell (Scarlett Anderson) approaches her dad’s girlfriend, asking her to speak to her late mother Sonya (Eve Morey), it pulls at Melanie’s heartstrings. Not wanting to let Nell down, Melanie is forced to fake a conversation to appease her.
Will her attempts to keep Nell happy backfire spectacularly?
