Neighbours spoilers: Watch out Toadie...con woman Andrea is back!
Toadie is in for a SHOCK when he comes face-to-face with Andrea at The Waterhole, unaware his brother Shane has brought her to Erinsborough...
Toadie Rebecchi thinks the whole chapter with conwoman Andrea Somers is finally closed.
But little does Toadie know, but shortly before his wife Sonya's death earlier this year, she discovered there's a possibility that Toadie's first wife Dee might STILL BE ALIVE... and that Andrea has further information that could help find her!
While Toadie comes to terms with Sonya's death, his brother Shane and his wife Dipi have secrely been working with policeman Mark Brennan to track down Andrea and convince her to talk.
After Mark's surprise news that she has been found, Shane secretly meets with her and is intrigued when Andrea tells him about the mysterious man she met at the Salamanca Markets, who claimed he recognised her as 'Karen'.
Could lookalike 'Karen' really be Dee, still alive after all these years, despite her apparent drowning on the day of Toadie and Dee's doomed wedding back in 2003?
Crafty Andrea makes a deal with Shane that she'll provide him with further information. But only if he helps her get access to baby son Hugo. So Shane brings her back to Erinsborough, planning to tell Toadie what's going on.
But unfortunately, in a case of terrible timing, the secret's out when a SHOCKED Toadie comes face-to-face with awful Andrea in The Waterhole...
Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
