Long-running soap Neighbours returns to ELEVEN tonight, to resolve its 2011 cliffhanger with Chris (James Mason) the victim of an assault.

If you’re a fan of the show, last week’s Age had an interesting article about how the newly appointed executive producer and producer tackle the show.

Spoiler:

Meanwhile, here’s the synopsis for tonight and tomorrow…

 

 

Episode 6311
Knowing Chris could be in danger, Rhys searches frantically for him. When he finally finds Chris at the garage, it could already be too late. Forced to perform emergency surgery, Rhys improvises to get Chris breathing again before the ambulance arrives.

But he’s not out of the woods yet, Karl warns Rhys he could end up being held accountable if Chris doesn’t pull through.

When confronted by a furious Lucas, Toadie struggles to believe Peter would be behind Chris’s attack.

However when the police ask Toadie to help with their enquiries, he’s shocked to realise the full extent of Peter’s scheme. Toadie’s interviewed but doesn’t have many answers for the strong case mounting against him. Unable to prove his innocence, could Toadie end up being charged with Chris’s assault?

Episode 6312
Determined to clear his name, Toadie discovers that one of the forged emails used by Peter to frame him was sent while he was in a meeting with Paul. Despite the potential alibi, Toadie fears that, if Paul learns about the corruption, he’ll blow it in the papers. Left with little choice, Toadie takes the risk and asks for Paul’s help and when Peter’s called in for questioning it appears to have been a wise move. However Toadie’s taken aback when he learns Peter’s now claiming he knew what Toadie was up to but didn’t stop him. Toadie vehemently denies any such thing but when Superintendent Hayes discovers evidence linking Toadie to Chris’s bashing in his car, Toadie realises he’s been well and truly set-up.

Resentful of Susan calling an end to their marriage, Karl fights for Summer to stay with him when Susan assumes she’ll move out with her. Karl insists he’s only thinking of Summer’s wellbeing but Susan can see through this, knowing it’s about them. Eventually they leave the choice up to Summer, who chooses to stay at the Kennedy House. Susan’s privately disappointed but, despite this win, Karl feels no better.

6.30pm weeknights on ELEVEN.

  1. Neighbours belongs in its ancestral home, on TEN @ 7:00pm; the sooner TEN realise that, the better it will be for Neighbours; it can only ever stagnate on Eleven and never achieve past ratings (hey, it was doing 900,000 to 1,100,000 only 3 years ago!) But then there were far too many cast turnovers and viewers turned off. Putting it on Eleven was a knee-jerk reaction by TEN and they should take a long, hard look at themselves for allowing such an iconic show (and one that got them on the international stage) to limp into oblivion without giving it another shot in its old stomping ground, where it was at its most successful.

  2. It won’t be moving back to TEN it’s the marque show for Eleven and pulls in it’s biggest viewership. As for the show in general i just don’t seem to care about it anymore i made it half way through 2011 before i just stopped watching. It’s gotten so boring now not like it was in the middle of the 2000s it just seems so plain now.

  3. 6pm at Ten belongs to the Simpsons.I bet you people with young children and the majority of the under 50 year old market were not consulted this time a year ago when they decided to replace Homer and Bart/Maggie with George Negus.These episodes most of which that were already paid for would have costed Ten a lot less to show than some boring Current Affairs show we didn’t need.I am not home when Neighbour’s screens these days due to work schedules but it sure would be nice on a day off have some form of escapism nightly from those ACA/Today Tonight garbage over at 7 and 9 when I am home or at the health club doing workouts.

  4. Thank god it is back … I was having withdrawls (never thought I would be saying that about Neighbours!).
    Yes, should definitely be back on TEN instead of that other rubbish they have at 6:30!
