Neighbours spoilers: Will Chloe Brennan end things with Pierce Greyson?
Chloe's multi-millionaire lover Pierce is getting far too serious for her liking. But if she dumps him, will she jeopardise the Lassiters business deal?
Chloe Brennan only started her paid escort business for a bit of fun and to make some extra money to clear her debts. But now it seems her latest client, multi-millionaire hotel guest Pierce Greyson may actually be falling in love with her!
After already giving her several lavish gifts including an expensive ring, Chloe senses Pierce wants to start making plans for the future. Well, she certainly didn't sign-up for that!
However, Chloe's secret arrangement with Pierce is in danger of being exposed when Chloe's teenage neighbour Yashvi Rebecchi discovers what's really going on between the pair.
Can Chloe buy Yashvi's silence and bribe her with the expensive ring Pierce gave to her, before the secret gets out and Chloe gets the boot from her job as Executive Assistant at Lassiter's?
Elsewhere, Leo Tanaka feels caught in the middle as his new lover Terese Willis continues with her plans to force Leo's dad Paul Robinson out as boss-man of Lassiter's. Although Leo and Paul had an almighty bust-up after Paul exposed his secret affair with Terese, is Leo still feeling guilty at the thought of Paul losing the hotel business he helped build up?
Meanwhile in Ramsay Street, scheming nanny Alice Wells hasn't finished trying to sabotage Toadie and Sonya Rebecchi's marriage.
Alice decides to up the dosage of painkillers she has secretly been spiking former addict Sonya with, secretly adding crushed-up painkillers to some shortbread she has baked.
Will anyone realise what's going on and the truth about Alice's cunning vendetta before it's too late?
Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
