Digital Spy spoilers also suggest that Ben and Madison receive a couple of surprise visitors, including Xanthe. The feisty schoolgirl reveals to Ben that she’s ready to take their relationship to a whole new level. Madison, on the other hand, gets rattled when she encounters someone from her past.

“Neighbours” recap

Last week, Karl told Jack that he’s worried about Angelina’s sister – she might do something bad to Paige as an act of retribution. At Harold’s, the young girl was taunting Paige to fight. Paige tried to talk some sense to Nikki. Fortunately, she was able to and the two hugged. Jack rushed to Blaze and was glad to see Paige’s okay.

Later, Nikki went to the hospital with Paige and Jack and Karl informed them that the procedure went well, and the doctors were able to remove the tumour. However, they wouldn’t be able to tell whether there has been a brain damage until Angelina wakes up. Paige was extremely grateful to David and gave him a big embrace while Jack was looking on. The priest was clearly upset seeing the two were getting along great. Shortly after, Paige and Jack shared a warm moment as she opened up to him about the guilt she’s been feeling the past couple of days.

Meanwhile, Madison urged Xanthe to ask permission from Gary to go to Gold Coast. Madison claimed that Gary’s way softer compared to Sheila or Susan. Xanthe heeded her advice and talked to her dad about the trip. However, Gary also didn’t approve of Xanthe tagging along Madison and Ben. Xanthe and Ben appealed to Karl to convince Susan to agree with their plan, and the doctor said he’ll try. However, Gary stood his ground, saying that he’s not going to allow Xanthe to go even if Susan gives her go signal. Xanthe blew her top, even saying that she wished Gary never got out of prison. That night, she sneaked out of their house – it seemed she’s heading to the Gold Coast in spite of everything.

The Xanthe situation brought Gary and Terese closer, and she invited him to grab coffee soon. Gary confided in on Terese about his daughter’s issues and things quickly progressed on the romantic front between the two.
