In the aftermath of their shock clifftop showdown with nasty Finn, it seems Bea, Elly, Susan and Xanthe are struggling with the guilt of their secret

Susan Kennedy, her nieces Elly Conway and Bea Nilsson and their friend Xanthe Canning are all safely back home in Ramsay Street after their scary clifftop showdown with Bea's twisted former fiance Finn Kelly.

But the women are still haunted by what really happened when Finn got shoved off the cliff and they all fled the scene of the crime...

Bea thought her nightmare would be over once she confronted Finn over all the terrible things he'd done. Still feeling guilt over the terrible turn of events, Bea considers turning to a therapist to talk through her troubles. But will protective older sister Elly, who has sworn the group to secrecy, shut down her plans?

Meanwhile, down at Lassiter's, hotel manager Terese Willis and multi-millionaire guest Pierce Greyson put their plan into action to force bossman Paul Robinson out of the business.

But when Terese and Pierce approach Paul with an offer to buy him out of Lassiter's and suggest they will take measures to ruin his new property development Robinson Pines if he doesn't co-operate, Paul stands his ground. It looks like it will take more than a few threats to scare him off!

And Gary Canning is feeling down in the dumps after losing his job at the Retreat because of Paul's meddling. And his mood doesn't improve when Gary discovers his new girlfriend Amy Williams has decided to accept a job working on her dad Paul's new property development.

Has cunning Paul finally found a way to cause trouble in paradise between Gary and Amy?

Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
