Neighbours spoilers: Paul is reunited with ex-wife Gail!

Neighbours, Paul Robinson, Gail Lewis

Paul is puzzled by the return of his ex-wife Gail on Neighbours. Soon there's trouble when Gail wants to take granddaughter Harlow to live with her...

The last time Gail Lewis (played by Fiona Corke) was back in Erinsborough, her ex-husband Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) asked her to give their marriage another go! But things are a bit different this time around on Neighbours since Paul is now engaged to Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou).

Gail reveals she's in town to get to know her long-lost granddaughter Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan).

However, Gail is not impressed to have walked in on Harlow and housemate Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson) having a catfight in the kitchen.

Finding out about the continuing tension between Harlow and Roxy, Gail is worried living with Paul and Terese at Number 22 is not a good environment for teenager Harlow... and alarm bells ring when Gail announces her plans to take Harlow away to live with her!

Meanwhile, Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) is still trying to make amends with her son Gary (Damien Richardson), who has made it clear he has no intention of forgiving her for teaming-up with arch-rival Paul and trying to sabotage his relationship with now ex-fiancee Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond).
