Neighbours' Morgana O'Reilly explains why 'the slap' really stung (VIDEO)

Neighbours' 'Naughty Naomi' Canning got the slap she so richly deserved from Sonya this week, but actress Morgana O'Reilly is not so sure she deserved it.

Morgana said: "I'm quite protective of Naomi, so I want to be like 'No!' So I just think she got it a little bit wrong."

After a disastrous relationship with a married man, Charles, she immediately put the wrestling moves on her married boss, Toadie. But Toadie's wife Sonya was less than impressed when she discovered how Naomi kissed her hubby. And in a dramatic showdown on Neighbours this week, Sonya gave Naomi a piece of her mind. Ouch!

Watch Neighbours star Morgana talk about Toadie, that slap and which Ramsay Street resident Naomi has set her sights on next:

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.

Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave?

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy.

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.
