Neighbours Spoilers – Lives destroyed as a storm hits Erinsborough!
Next week on Neighbours, a freak storm engulfs Erinsborough, leading to someone losing their life.
These episodes air in the UK from Monday 17th January, and in Australia from Wednesday 19th January.
Mick has excelled at planning the wedding, but his people skills need some work
It’s the week of Kyle and Roxy’s wedding, but the mood is far from joyful.
Things starts off badly, as Roxy (Zima Anderson) discovers that wedding planner Mick (Joel Creasey) has been rubbing everyone up the wrong way. He may be doing a good job of organising the wedding, but that means nothing if he’s making their guests miserable in the process.
When she learns that a storm is set to hit Erinsborough on her big day, she’s had enough and declares that the wedding is off!
It’s on a determined Kyle (Chris Milligan) to get their plan back together, and he calls on his Ramsay Street mates for help, with everyone pitching in to make the day happen.
Thankfully, it’s enough to convince the bride-to-be to go ahead with the wedding after all.
As they put the final preparations in place, the skies over Erinsborough begin to darken, and the clouds roll in. Forecasters are predicting 100km gusts, and a concerned Levi (Richie Morris) warns Roxy that she may be walking down the aisle in some pretty blustery conditions.
However, nothing will stop the wedding now.
Gemma gives Roxy away on her big day
Despite the overcast day, the wedding party is brimming with excitement. Finally, the moment arrives, and Roxy walks down the aisle accompanied by her mother Gemma (Beth Buchanan), who has finally decided to give Kyle and her daughter her blessing.
With the ceremony presided over by Susan (Jackie Woodburne), the loved up youngsters become Mr and Mrs Willis.

The guests enjoy the reception, oblivious to the disaster coming their way
After the glamorous ceremony, husband, wife, friends and family all head back to the Flamingo Bar to celebrate.
The party is in full swing inside the hut, but outside the weather is rapidly worsening.
The forecast 100km gusts arrive, bringing with them copious amounts of thunder and lightning.
The Flamingo Bar’s décor may be more to Kyle and Roxy’s tastes than the fancy reception rooms at Lassiters, but perhaps a wooden hut isn’t the best place to be in a storm?
A lightning strike brings down a telegraph pole…
Before they know it, the storm is directly overhead.
Suddenly, there’s a bolt of lightning. It strikes a telegraph poll, causing it to fall and smash through the corrugated roof of the bar!
…which crashes through the packed Flamingo Bar!
A bar destroyed. Lives about to be changed forever.
Which Neighbours favourite has lost their life?
In the episode following the storm, we fast-forward a week. Seven days after the wedding, an emotional memorial is taking place. But who is it for?
Could it be Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), who’s knocked unconscious by the falling debris?
Paul has spent the past couple of months trying to win back Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou). She ordered him out of her house after learning that he paid Nicolette $1 million to stay away from Erinsborough, and they’ve been separated ever since.
Since Glen arrived in town, Terese has been torn between her love for her estranged husband, and her growing feelings for his long-lost half brother. She isn’t ready to cut Paul out of her life for good, but will the storm take the decision away from her?
Is this the end for Neighbours’ one remaining original character?
Or will Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) meet his maker? He hasn’t been back in Erinsborough for long, returning from New York in the latter half of 2021 keen to make amends with his family.
He was in for the shock of his life just a few months later when he discovered that Britney – a woman with whom he had a brief relationship when he lived in the states – had given birth to his baby and had come to Australia in search of him. The two are slowly rediscovering their love for one another, but is Leo about to be tragically snatched away?
He’s conscious and able to stand, but, with a gash across his cheek and blood spattered down his shirt, will he really made it out unscathed?
Terese Willis, Lassiters’ co-owner, feels partially responsible for the terrible accident. The Flamingo Bar is Lassiters’ property after all, and it wouldn’t be the first time that someone has injured themselves at her hotel.
She seems to come away without a scratch, but, with her only concern being the condition of those around her, is she ignoring her own internal injuries?
Britney Barnes (Montana Cox) is also knocked to the ground, as she lies just inches away from the heavy telegraph poll which destroyed everything in its path.
She was delighted when Leo invited her to the wedding as her +1, but is probably regretting her decision.
Will Leo be forced to say goodbye to Britney just as he’s beginning to fall in love with her all over again?
Or will it be the newly married Kyle Willis who doesn’t survive?
His immune system is already weakened as a result of his chemotherapy. However, he’s determined to help clean up the mess, and rallies the troops to start the cleanup operation across town – is he about to push himself too far?
For the first time, Neighbours now airs in the UK before Australia, and the countries are growing apart by one extra episode every week.
Roxy and Kyle’s wedding and the storm take place on Tuesday 18th January in the UK, and two days later on Thursday 20th January in Australia.
Aussie viewers will have to wait until the following Monday 24th to see the fallout from the storm, while UK viewers will see the emotional scenes just one day later on Wednesday 19th January.
