“Neighbours” recap

On Monday, Amy returned to Erinsborough, showing Kyle that she’s moved on from him. Once at Cannings, Kyle checked in on her mum and Jimmy. Things were quite civil – albeit awkward – but she completely lost her cool when he suggested being friends. In a tearful rant, she lashed at him for the things he did in the past, especially for making her believe they’d start a family together then running off with Georgia. Kyle apologised, but she walked out.

Once alone, Amy flashed back at the good times she had with Kyle, then remembered the moment when she found out about his betrayal. Meanwhile, Kyle opened up to Sonya, Steph and Mark about the Amy situation. Sonya tried to comfort him, but Steph couldn’t contain herself and minced no words when she told Kyle about what he did to Amy. Later, Amy went over to Paul to pour her heart out. He told Amy to move out of the Cannings’ house – staying with them won’t help her move on. Amy heeded his advice and Paul accompanied her to get her things. She couldn’t help but become emotional and Paul reassured her that she’s making the right decision.

At The Waterhole, Ned and Elly were all being touchy-feely when she noticed Regan staring at them. When Elly asked Ned if he knows her, he denied it and said he’s never seen the woman before. Shortly after, however, he grabbed Regan and told her she shouldn’t be there. Regan said she believes her husband knows about their relationship. Ned got worried about this, but was relieved to hear that there seems to be no evidence about their affair. Regan professed her love for Ned, but he told her to forget about them. He then told her to stay away, but Regan hugged him. At that point, Elly walked in, shocked at what she saw.

Elly immediately confronted Ned about the incident, and he was forced to admit that Regan’s his ex-girlfriend. Elly was still riled up by the fact that Ned hid the truth from her, and an argument ensued between them. Later, during trivia night at The Waterhole, Regan marched straight to Ned and told him they need to talk. Elly, who was hosting the event, could not contain herself anymore and ordered – for everyone to hear – Regan to stay away from her boyfriend. Regan walked out and Ned lashed at Elly, who was frustrated that he seemed to be defending his ex. Ned told her to back off, leaving Elly utterly devastated.

Meanwhile, Mark and Steph excitedly made plans to visit Charlie in Fiji. However, their trip was stunted when Steph learned that Max is taking Charlie to New Zealand for the holidays. Worse, Max refused to let Charlie return to Erinsborough in light of the Ari incident.
