Neighbours spoilers: WHAT is Karl Kennedy's mystery gift?
Karl's eccentric sister Jemima sends him the most unusual present he has ever received. But what on earth is it?
Do you remember Karl Kennedy's eccentric sister Jemima Davies-Smythe (played by Kath & Kim star Magda Szubanski)?
In today's episode of Neighbours, multi-millionaire Jemima, who now lives in Boston, sends Karl the biggest, most unusual present he has ever received. But what is it?
Karl's wife Susan makes it clear there's no way the mystery item is going in the backyard at the Kennedy house. So kind-hearted Karl decides to donate his present to the wider community of Erinsborough, in the hope it might help with plans to revitalize business down on Power Road.
An excited Karl takes Susan down to watch, as a crane delivers the landmark attraction to its new home!
Elsewhere in Erinsborough, school teacher Elly Conway is still reeling from her classroom confrontation with troublesome student Dean Mahoney, who claims he knows all about Elly's baby lies and will tell her husband Mark Brennan unless Elly gives in to his blackmail demands!
So when under-age Dean orders Elly to buy him a bottle of booze and leave it in his school locker, will Elly risk her job and carry out his demands?
Neighbours continues weekdays at 1:45pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5
