New Neighbours spoilers and photos for mid to late May
Neighbours has released new photos and spoilers teasing what’s in store in mid-to-late May, with two big new arrivals as Jane’s ex-husband Victor and Haz’s sister Amira arrive.
Plus, we get the return of Felix (James Beaufort), a few weeks after he was arrested following his failed heist at Eirene Rising.
We also get our first look at the Eirene Rising office, as Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and Susan (Jackie Woodburne) hold a meeting where they pour over a “Weekly Workflow” document.
Recent teaser spoilers told us that Susan “is made a tempting offer” at the end of April, before struggling with a secret. Next week’s episodes see that secret revealed, as Terese offers her the role of Operations Manager at the new retirement village.
Susan is flattered by the offer, but isn’t sure that her and Karl’s (Alan Fletcher) marriage would fare well with her as Karl’s boss.
Karl, who is set to be Eirene Rising’s ‘Resident doctor and wellness expert’, encourages her to go for it, assuring her that they’re strong enough to cope.
The new photos reveal that Susan eventually accepts the job, but it seems that things get off to a bad start, with Susan looking exasperated as she and Terese discuss plans.
Are the two clashing over Eirene Rising already?
Eirene Rising isn’t the only new job for Susan in May, as photos show her working in the kitchen at Harold’s.
With Haz out of action after his accident (more on that below), it looks like the residents of Erinsborough will do what they do best as they club together to keep the café open.
The new spoilers for mid-May also tell us that JJ (Riley Bryant) “makes a last-ditch bid to see Felix.”
As viewers have recently seen, JJ’s mothers Cara (Sara West) and Remi (Naomi Rukavina) made the decision to keep their son from seeing Felix (James Beaufort), who was revealed to be his biological father.
Remi visited Felix (James Beaufort) in custody, where she pleaded with him to deny JJ any access to him, even if JJ got in touch.
JJ has been hit hard by the revelation that Felix doesn’t want to see him, with no idea that it was his mums who orchestrated it.
In mid-May, JJ finally gets his wish to see Felix again, with photos showing him, Andrew (Lloyd Will) and Felix sitting down together in Waratah Prison.
Yet JJ clearly doesn’t get the result he was hoping for, as he “faces a hard truth,” and photos show him looking devastated as he sits on the curb with Cara and Remi attempting to comfort him.
Has Felix rejected him again, or is there another twist to this tale?
A “surprise guest” is about to “upset the status quo” on Ramsay Street, as Jane’s ex-husband Victor Stone (Craig Hall), the father of Byron (Xavier Molyneux) and Nicolette (Hannah Monson) makes an unexpected appearance.
Many fans have wondered whether the oft-mentioned Victor would eventually show up, especially with no end in sight to Jane’s (Annie Jones) long-distance relationship with Mike Young (Guy Pearce).
Mike is played by Hollywood actor Guy Pearce, and he returned for Neighbours’ then-final episodes in June 2022, where he reunited with ’80s sweetheart Jane.
When Neighbours‘ return was announced in 2023, it left producers with the tricky task of how to continue the pair’s relationship, with a full-time return for Guy Pearce seeming nigh on impossible.
Guy made a brief return early on, where we saw Mike and Jane on holiday in England, but since then he has only returned via infrequent video calls to Jane.
Mike was offered a job with a motorbike tour company, and has extended his UK trip on a number of occasions, leaving Jane feeling increasingly down about the never-ending nature of their long-distance relationship.
As “Jane finds life becoming increasingly complicated,” will Victor’s arrival be the final nail in the coffin for Jane and Mike’s relationship?
But is there more to Victor than meets the eye? The episode after his arrival, “Sadie is challenged when she discovers a big secret,” and this secret is soon revealed to be related to the new arrival.
On Wednesday 22nd May, “Sadie struggles under the burden of Vic’s secret,” and in the following day’s episode, “Nicolette and Byron digest some shocking news.”
What is Victor hiding, and why has he returned now?
Another surprise visitor arrives in the form of Haz’s sister Amira (Maria-Thattil), who makes her first appearance on Tuesday 21st May.
The coming weeks see Haz (Shiv Palekar) involved in a tragic accident as Mackenzie knocks him down with her car. He’s hospitalised and things aren’t looking good.
Haz’s hospitalisation causes his estranged sister Amira to head to Erinsborough.
As Haz recently revealed, his parents and siblings cut him out of their life when his shady past in IT was revealed, but it seems that Amira is finally ready to make amends with her brother – if he ever wakes up.
Amira is set to challenge Mackenzie, and with the announcement of her character back in December teasing that “not everyone on Ramsay Street will be thrilled with Amira’s arrival,” it seems the two are set for a clash.
Will Amira blame Mackenzie for Haz’s hospitalisation?
After the last set of teaser spoilers were revealed, we noted that the doctors and nurses of Erinsborough were being kept busy, with multiple trips to the hospital in late April and early May.
That looks set to continue into mid-May, as Remi tends to Leo’s (Tim Kano) daughter Abigail. On Thursday 16th May, “Abigail finds something she shouldn’t,” while on Monday 20th May, “a mistake puts Abigail’s life at risk.”
With Krista (Majella Davis) having recently fallen off the wagon and turned back to her old habits, has Abigail accidentally taken some of her pills?
