Neighbours spoilers: Whack! Alice Wells attacks Piper Willis...
Desperate to get her hands on some incriminating evidence from Toadie's office, scheming nanny Alice attacks Toadie's legal assistant Piper...
As Toadie and Sonya's Rebecchi's wicked nanny Alice Wells continues with her plan to get former addict Sonya hooked on pain medication, she's alarmed to discover legal eagle Toadie is looking into the relationship between Andrea Somers and her estranged mum...
Alice panics and realises it is only a matter of time before Toadie and Sonya make the connection between Alice and her conwoman daughter Andrea, who caused misery when she pretended to be Toadie's late wife Dee Bliss.
Determined to get her hands on some incriminating evidence being sent to Toadie from a private eye, Alice sneaks into Toadie's law office to steal the documents. But when she is almost caught-in-the-act by Toadie's legal assistant Piper Willis, Alice attacks, leaving Piper lying motionless on the floor...

After weeks of suffering in silence, Chloe drops the shock bombshell she has the incurable brain disease Huntington's and urges her brothers to both get tested for the gene too...
And after making a terrible first impression on Jane Harris, the new acting principal of Erinsborough High School, teacher Elly Conway finds herself in Jane's bad books again. What has Elly done this time?

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!
Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)
And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
