Next week on Neighbours, Andrew and Wendy start getting ready for an unexpected houseguest, and Sadie makes a confession that might spark a new romance.
For a while now, the young people of Ramsay Street have been developing a romantic relationship.
Cupid’s arrow appears to have struck nearly everyone, as evidenced by Mackenzie (Georgie Stone) and Haz (Shiv Palekar) finally confessing their feelings for one another after Haz’s brief affair with Holly (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) and Byron’s (Xavier Molyneaux) brief encounter with billionaire heiress Reece (Mischa Barton).
Well, everyone but Sadie (Emerald Chan).
Since relocating to Ramsay Street, Sadie has experienced many highs and lows, most notably her part in starting the fire that contributed to the passing of Mackenzie’s late husband Hendrix (Benny Turland). However, one thing that she has never had to deal with is the possibility of falling in love—or even having sex.
The following week, Sadie surprises Mackenzie and Holly by admitting that she has never dated someone while out drinking with the girlfriends. that is, she has never engaged in sexual activity.
Sadie gives a reasonable response when asked why she hasn’t given up her V plates: she feels that her first experience should be with a special man whom she loves. However, despite her best efforts, she is finding it nearly impossible to find Mr. Right.
Holly suggests that perhaps it’s time to remove the band-aid when Sadie affirms that she’s more than ready for a roll in the hay: Even though Mr. Right may not be present, what about Mr. Right Now?
Over the past two weeks, Sadie and Byron’s bond has deepened. Sadie resorted to Byron for solace when she revealed, shockingly, at David’s (Takaya Honda) wake that she had seen Eden (Costa d’Angelo) and Paul (Stefan Dennis) together prior to the catastrophe.
Holly believes Byron is the ideal guy for Sadie to have a sexual relationship with because of their blossoming connection. He is kind, giving, a great friend, and has more experience than most—after all, he got paid for it! He is everything a woman could ask for in a man!
Will Sadie’s sexual life begin to take off thanks to Byron?
Sadie may be thinking about something else, but No. 26 is also home to a lot of drama.
Following a wave of illegal activity that shakes the Lassiters complex, Andrew (Lloyd Will) feels a touch out of balance. The local police serjeant jumps at the chance to defend his family members, pointing out that it’s not always the family’s fault when criminal relatives are apprehended.
This week, Wendy (Candice Leask) discovers Andrew flipping through an old photo album with images of an unidentified man, prompting her to wonder about Andrew’s intentions. Wendy is shocked as he takes out a letter from Warrinor Prison.

Andrew discloses that Felix, his younger brother (James Beaufort), is scheduled to be released from prison on parole next week. Felix wants to remain on Ramsay Street because he has nowhere else to go and they used to be fairly close.
Wendy feels no hesitation in assisting Felix in moving on with his life, but Andrew has a more serious issue: he thinks his brother may have further information regarding JJ’s (Riley Bryant) genuine parentage.
It had been a while since Andrew was confronted with the possibility that JJ was his son, but with the swift confirmation of the DNA test that the two were not father and son, Andrew was shocked to discover something in Philippa’s diary. It’s unclear what precisely he read.
Andrew goes to face his brother about his misgivings at Warrinor Prison. Felix quickly allays his brother’s worries by telling him that he has never given sperm to anyone and hence is not eligible to be JJ’s father.
Andrew offers to let his brother remain on Ramsay Street, feeling pleased with his brother’s candour. Before long, the brothers will be reunited. But what future turmoil will the Rodwells experience as a result of Felix’s presence on the Street?
