Neighbours, Paul Robinson, Leo Tanaka

You're fired! Paul's had enough after last week's brawl at the Backpackers and suddenly his son Leo finds himself out of a job...

Things are still rocky between Paul Robinson and his son, Leo Tanaka after THAT brawl at the Backpackers in which Leo's brother David was caught in the crossfire.

So when Paul discovers Leo has skipped his responsibilities managing the hostel to spend the afternoon skinny dipping with new-girl-in-town Roxy Willis, he is not impressed.

Paul is alarmed by the state the business is in, and when it becomes clear Leo hasn't been looking after the Backpackers for some time, he flips and sacks Leo on the spot!

It looks like there's no end in sight to this feud between father and son...

Elsewhere in Ramsay Street, Roxy is making herself at home at Number 22 and quickly getting on the nerves of Terese Willis and her fella, Paul Robinson.

But when Ned starts asking his cousin Roxy why she really wanted to move to Erinsborough, he senses he's caught her in a lie.

And when Roxy sends off a mysterious text message to her secret fella, Vance Abernathy (who also once dated Terese back in the day), it's clear she's up to something. But what is her agenda and how is Vance involved?

Meanwhile, pregnant Elly Conway is thrown when her husband Mark Brennan reveals he's booked her in for an ultrasound at the hospital... which means he could be close to discovering she's only six weeks pregnant and he is NOT the father of her unborn baby!

Determined to keep the truth about her one-night stand with Shaun Watkins under wraps for as long as she can, what can Elly do to throw Mark off the scent?

Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
