Neighbours spoilers: Baby bombshell! Is Elly Conway pregnant?
With her short-lived marriage to Mark already doomed, there's a shock in store for Elly when she takes a pregnancy test...
Elly Conway's world has fallen apart since her wedding confession that she cheated on new hubby Mark Brennan with his sister Chloe.
After a heart-to-heart with Mark's mum Fay, Elly convinces the heartbroken policeman to give her a moment. She pleads her case and tells him she still wants to build a future with him. Unfortunately, it looks like Mark and Elly's marriage may be one of Ramsay Street's most short-lived when Mark drops the shocker that he wants an annulment!
However, being rid of his wife may not be that easy after Elly takes a pregnancy test and is shocked to discover it's positive...
Meanwhile, things are rather awkward between Piper Willis and Leo Tanaka the morning after the night before.
Neither is quite sure what their hook-up means and Piper tries to avoid any discussion by escaping to work. But Leo wants Piper to know their night together wasn't fuelled by him wanting to get revenge on his dad Paul Robinson who started dating Terese Willis soon after Leo and Terese had broken-up.
With both agreeing it was a fun time, does this mean official romance could be in store for Leo and Piper? Watch this space!
Elsewhere, Mark is still pushing everyone away after his wedding day meltdown.
Feeling to blame for her family being at war, can Chloe play peacekeeper and convince Mark to make amends with his brother Aaron, who he blames for allowing him to go through with the wedding?
Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
