Neighbours, Andrea Somers, Owen Campbell — Andrea is hiding out with prison guard Owen on Neighbours

Andrea is hiding out in an abandoned house with Hugo and dodgy prison guard, Owen Campbell (played by ex-Home and Away star Johnny Ruffo), who helped with Andrea's escape from prison.

But help could be at hand for Toadie from an unlikely person...

Andrea and Dee's criminal mum, Heather Schilling (Kerry Armstrong) makes a suprise discovery in the prison garden, which could help lead the police to Andrea and Hugo.

But now Heather faces a test of loyalties. Will she help Andrea or Toadie?

Neighbours, Toadie Rebecchi, Levi Canning — Levi has just arrived in Erinsborough. But he's thrown straight into helping Toadie find his kidnapped son Hugo on Neighbours!

Meanwhile, Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) hasn't exactly welcomed her other grandson, Levi Canning (Richie Morris) to Erinsborough.

While Kyle (Chris Milligan) is happy to see his cousin, Levi, who is Erinsborough's newest police constable, Sheila still seems a bit off.

Could it be that Sheila harbours a grudge because Levi is the product of her son, Frank's affair years earlier?
