Neighbours Spoilers – Melanie in danger as date goes wrong
Next week on Neighbours, Melanie finds herself in danger as she tries to get back on the dating scene.
It’s been some time since Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) has wanted to dip her toe back into the dating game.
After the demise of her marriage with Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), Melanie kept a low profile, not wanting the truth about what happened two years ago to emerge.
However, some months ago the truth was revealed and Melanie was forced to accept her new life, with her loved ones knowing the trouble she’d found herself entangled in.

Since then, she’s found herself back on the Street and living with the Kennedys, thanks to an injury during the protest to save Erinsborough High from closure.
It’s been some time since she’s felt herself, but as always, time heals all wounds.
The only downside of having moved into No. 28 to aid in her recovery from a shoulder reconstruction is her constant having to see Toadie all loved up with his new wife Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou).
Next week, Melanie decides that enough is enough – she’s going to get back out in the dating game. After all, if Toadie can find love again, what is stopping her?
Following in the footsteps of the youngsters on the street, Melanie finds herself downloading a dating app. Naturally, she’s doubtful about what the future will hold, but when she is quickly contacted by a match, she decides to go for it.
Deciding to treat herself, Melanie goes out and buys a new dress after organising to meet at the Tram for the first date.
With the time fast approaching, Melanie finds herself a nervous wreck, not knowing what to expect, but she’s in for a nice surprise when former stepdaughter Nell (Ayisha Salem-Towner) arrives, wanting to help her get ready to dip her toe back in the bond.

As she heads to the Tram, she anxiously waits for her suitor to arrive. Time slowly ticks away and it soon becomes clear that Melanie’s date is a no show. Deflated, Mel reaches out to him.
When he responds letting her know that he’s got a flat tyre and is still on his way, Melanie decides to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Unfortunately, her trustful nature proves wrong: after waiting around until it’s very clear he’s not going to turn up, Melanie faces facts – she’s been stood up.
Bailing on the Tram, a lacklustre Mel finds herself walking home in the dark by herself. She’s in her own head, wondering why he never arrived. She’s confused, and of course, upset.
However it seems danger might be imminent. As she continues on through Lassiters, she’s approached by a souped-up car that pulls up near her, with its headlights blaring.
The calls from the car leave Melanie vulnerable, and as she rushes to get away, it seems she might be in more trouble than she realises…
