Neighbours spoilers: Sonya Rebecchi confronts Andrea Somers!
With hubby Toadie stressed out over a possible custody battle for baby Hugo, Sonya decides to take matters into her own hands...
After all the trouble conwoman Andrea Somers and her wicked mother Alice Wells have caused for the Rebecchi family, you'd think Sonya Rebecchi would want to steer well clear of any further contact with the women.
However, when Sonya sees how her hubby Toadie is struggling with the stress of a possible custody fight over his and Andrea's baby, Hugo, she decides it's time to resort to desperate measures to be rid of awful Andrea once and for all!
Needing a distraction from her recent cancer diagnosis, Sonya sneaks off to the airport and heads to Tasmania to confront Andrea at the psychiatric hospital where she has been a patient since last year...
Meanwhile, Chloe Brennan has been getting hot and heavy again with her ex-girlfriend Mel Lohan. However, when the ladies meet for drinks, Chloe's in for a surprise when Mel bails on her after just one drink, insisting she won't settle for drunken hook-ups. This time around she wants their relationship to really mean something. Will Chloe agree to Mel's terms and conditions?
Elsewhere in Erinsborough, guilty Amy Williams is still doing her best to try and help ex-boyfriend Gary Canning get back on his feet and find a new job. But matters aren't helped by the interference of Gary's bossy boots mum, Sheila, who has an axe to grind with Amy for breaking up with Gary.
