Neighbours [News, Spoilers and Discussion]

JP Liz V1

Sonya Rebecchi is diagnosed with cancer as she receives the news after heading to hospital following days of worrying symptoms, which come to a head when she collapses in pain.

When Sonya is checked out by the doctors, she learns that she has a cyst on her ovary which should be removed immediately.

The surgery goes ahead and is successful, but once Sonya has woken up, she's visited by a medical oncologist who has more worrying news to share.

Sonya is told that the cyst was cancerous and the illness, which is at stage four, has already spread to her entire body.

Determined to fight, Sonya immediately goes into battle mode and begins preparing for treatment.

Toadie is also inspired by Sonya's optimism and vows to fight by her side every step of the way, promising that they'll defeat this challenge together.

Sonya is also keen for her illness to be a secret for now, asking Toadie not to share the news among their friends and neighbours.

Tragically, Sonya's new storyline is expected to lead to her exit from the show

That's what I thought! We recorded loads of episodes over Christmas and I fast forwarded them and i thought I missed something.

Just when she was getting a bit easier to listen to. That’ll be sad.

The Sonya story line is so sad.

Neighbours star Eve Morey has set the record straight over her departure from the show, confirming that it wasn't her choice to leave.

Ever since word leaked out that Sonya Rebecchi would be bowing out from the Aussie soap, fans have assumed that Eve quit after nine years.

However, in a new chat with Digital Spy, Eve revealed that she was told early last year that her contract wouldn't be renewed beyond 2018.

The surprise decision came as part of big changes behind the scenes when Neighbours was renewed on its new multi-year deal. Eve went on to film her final scenes in December.

When we asked the all-important question of why she left Neighbours, Eve replied: "It was a decision made by the production. From what I understand, at the end of 2017, the show was at a point of: 'Is it going to go ahead, or is it not?'

"In the end it did, but there were going to have to be big changes and every department suffered that. When it comes to the cast, I was one of them.

"I'd come back from maternity leave and I wasn't doing as many episodes. I don't know if anyone even noticed, but I was doing two episodes per week rather than three, and taking more time out with the kids.

"I was thinking: 'This is great. It'd be good to do this, to do less'. But the producers had decided that they'd be finishing Sonya at the end of the year."

Eve was quick to insist that there were no hard feelings whatsoever between her and the show's team.

Great acting by Eve Morey, a very emotional performance.

I'm not able! All the characters affected, it's so sad :-(

I’m not the better after that

Yeah she was a very annoying character, it was only when she came back after last maternity leave that I thought that she’s getting more bearable, then they do this!! Was very quick death in the end.

Shybride2016

Haven't watched today's episode yet but watching yesterday's on the sidelines of a football pitch wasn't my brightest idea. OMG the whole episode was so well done and I don't know how they did those emotional scenes. Toadie and Sonya were both fantastic, I was in bits.

freshpopcorn

Could you imagine what it would be like waking up and thinking it was 2007?(If Fin is telling the truth)

JP Liz V1

I will be mad if Toadie is put with Andrea (fake Dee) or real Dee if she is alive

Imogen is returning to help Toadie's law firm and I think for Piper's exit, she discovers Piper and Leo's fling

JP Liz V1

I wouldn't be surprised if Chloe tried to kill her brother Mark so she could have Elly, she does not care he is missing

Ghekko

She deserved that slap from her mother. What a selfish wagon. Elly is a royal pain in the backside. It was all Marks fault that she slept with Chloe :rolleyes:

Both Elly and her sister Bea are annoying and so is Chloe, if only Finn could kill them all

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Just been catching up on a shedload of Neighbours there over the weekend.

The Sonya and Toadie two-hander and her death scene and the aftermath back on the street was really really well done.

I think Finn got kidnapped at some stage but I'm not sure!

Lackey

Finn and Sean were kidnapped, their parents blamed Finn for the abduction ( I have no idea why) so they only paid Sean’s ransom and Finn was held captive for another 6 months until he was freed by military (I think)

Elly sleeps with Shaun (Finn's brother) and ends up preggers by him not Mark

Oh for the love of Jesus really? God she’s an incredibly annoying character

She's a painful dose.

Do Finn and Shaun have different fathers?

I'd prefer Shaun and Finn stay and get rid of Imogen, Chloe, Elly and Bea

I like Chloe and Elly most of the time, Imogen is ok in small doses but really can’t stand Bea.

JP Liz V1

I see Chloe is over Elly and her lady phase back to lads with Kyle

JP Liz V1

Shaun blackmails Elly to be on Finn's side in court so he gets off and lives with Karl and Susan as Bea, Susan and Elly give good references for him

Bee really needs to stop with the singing

I'm going to sing a song to stop Bee singing!

Elly resorts to passing off baby Caitlyn's old scan photo as her own, needing Mark to stay in the dark about how many weeks pregnant she is

I think Finn is now good, telling the truth about his memory loss as the actor is a regular full time on the show
