Neighbours spoilers: Chloe Brennan reveals truth about ex-girlfriend Mel
Following the unexpected arrival of her ex-girlfriend Mel, Chloe turns to support from best friend Elly and reveals the truth about her past with Mel
Chloe Brennan is not best pleased after her ex-girlfriend Mel unexpectedly turns up at the Brennan house. And even less happy when she discovers her big brother Aaron thought he was doing her a favour by inviting Mel to visit Erinsborough!
Aware of his sister's secret romantic feelings for future sister-in-law Elly Conway, Aaron thought Mel would be a much-needed distraction for Chloe. But instead he accidentally pushes Chloe and Elly closer together...
After demanding that Aaron sends Mel packing again, Chloe seeks emotional support from Elly and reveals the shock truth about why she wants nothing to do with her ex-girlfriend...
Meanwhile, following her collapse after planting the new community friendship tree, Sonya Rebecchi is taken to hospital for medical tests.
Sonya's husband Toadie thinks her pain and collapse could be linked to the poisoning she suffered at the hands of the family's wicked nanny Alice Wells last year.
However, when the test results come back, Sonya and Toadie are in for a shock when Dr Karl Kennedy reveals the cause of Sonya's condition. What's wrong with Sonya?
