Neighbours spoilers: Mark Brennan has a SHOCK for Elly Conway

Neighbours, Mark Brennan, Elly Conway

Just when it looked like there was a chance they might get back together again, Elly is crushed when Mark springs a SURPRISE on her...

For a moment there, Elly Conway got her hopes up that there might be a chance of her and estranged hubby Mark Brennan getting back together again. But it seems the unexpected kiss between Mark and Elly in yesterday's episode wasn't "hello, again"... more "goodbye!".

Although Mark has been in a right muddle since he found out wife Elly cheated on him with Shaun Watkins, and he is NOT the father of her baby, the policeman confides in mate Toadie Rebecchi that he doesn't know if there is a future for him and Elly.

Unfortunately, Elly gets the wrong idea after the kiss and tells her family she thinks there's a chance she and Mark may reconcile. But her hopes come crashing down when Mark reveals he has filed the annulment papers and their marriage is officially over...

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.

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.
