Ramsay Street fans are in for a treat this week with DOUBLE episodes of Neighbours to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Aussie soap!

Neighbours is celebrating its 35th anniversary with DOUBLE episodes all this week! (5:30pm and 10:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings)

Love is in the air as the Wedding Expo kicks off at Lassiters.

Since she's in charge of running the show, it only makes sense that Lassiters bosslady Lucy Robinson (played by Melissa Bell) takes part. And it looks like Lucy and Mark Gottlieb (Bruce Samazan) are finally going to make things official.

Or are they? Could it be that Mark is starting to get cold feet...

Neighbours, Lucy Robinson, Mark Gottlieb, Susan Kennedy — Lucy and Mark are the first to get hitched at the Wedding Expo on Neighbours. Or are they?

Meanwhile, inspired by all the romantic goings-on, Paige Smith (Olympia Valance) decides to take a bold leap and ask Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) to marry her!

But don't forget, the last time the pair attempted to get married, policeman Mark had Paige arrested on their wedding day, on suspicion of robbery and the bride was led away in handcuffs!

Will it be second time lucky for these Ramsay Street favourites?

But little do they know, that Finn's mental state continues to spiral out-of-control and he already has sinister plans in store for unsuspecting girlfriend, Bea...

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters.

Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave?

Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy.

He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
