Neighbours spoilers: Andrea Somers's WICKED mum Heather is back!
Andrea is in for a surprise when her fugitive mum Heather turns up at her apartment on the run from the police. Everyone had better watch out!
Heather Schilling (aka Alice Wells) has been on the run from the police since her failed attempt to bump off Toadie Rebecchi's wife Sonya with poisonous pesticide last year!
However, Heather's daughter Andrea has secretly been in touch with her this whole time, keeping her updated about her plan to con her way back into Toadie's life since Sonya passed away from cancer a few months ago.
And, so far, Andrea's plan to play happy families with Toadie and their baby son, Hugo, seems to be working and she's hopeful he will eventually give up his search for his first wife, Dee Bliss, who may still be alive after all these years.
But Andrea's plans are thrown into a spin when Heather is spotted nearby checking into a hostel in the city. Then she vanishes again... only to reappear in Andrea's apartment!
Will Heather get a warm welcome from her daughter? Or will Andrea be keen to send her mum packing, considering the havoc she caused previously?
Elsewhere in Erinsborough, it looks like the battle-lines are drawn between Chloe Brennan and Ebony Buttrose, after their showdown over Pierce Greyson.
Chloe's suspicions that Ebony is just a gold-digger and after businessman Pierce's money have been proved right... and now she's out to expose awful Ebony!
But will Chloe's feud with Ebony cause problems between her and ex-lover Pierce, who must now work together at Lassiters?
Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
