Neighbours spoilers: Willow Somers exposes wicked Alice Wells?
There's a shock for Willow when she returns to Ramsay Street and comes face-to-face with her supposedly "dead" grandmother, Alice!
While Toadie Rebecchi is distracted worrying on the whereabouts of his missing wife Sonya, he forgets teenager Willow Somers is coming for a visit to see her half-brother, baby Hugo.
But Willow's impending arrival throws the Rebecchi family nanny Alice Wells into a panic as she realises Willow, who is actually her granddaughter, could rumble her revenge plan to wreck Toadie and Sonya's marriage...
However, Alice doesn't manage to avoid Willow for long and when the girl comes face-to-face with her supposedly dead grandmother, she demands to know why Alice is now living in Toadie and Sonya's house.
Alice tries to cover her tracks by lying that she is just there to keep an eye on her grandson Hugo, while Willow's mum Andrea Somers is still being treated at the psychiatric unit. But when Willow doesn't buy her lies, what will Alice do to stop her granddaughter telling Toadie the truth?
Elsewhere in Ramsay Street, an embarrassed Chloe Brennan tries to backtrack after drunkenly declaring her love for future sister-in-law Elly Conway at Elly and fiance Mark Brennan's engagement party. But Chloe's left feeling even more awkward when unsuspecting Elly asks Chloe to be one of her bridesmaids!
Meanwhile, Chloe's big brother Aaron has big dramas of his own as he and husband David await the results of hospital tests to see if Aaron is at risk of developing the incurable Huntington's disease. What will the test results reveal?
