Neighbours Weekly Recap: Karl’s dirty secret EXPOSED and shock new romance for Toadie?
Battle lines were drawn when a seething Paul Robinson (played by Stefan Dennis) confronted his archenemy Nick Petrides (Damien Fotiou) in prison and vowed to stop him from being released, despite the possibility that Nick could be the one to cure Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) of cancer. However, before Paul could put his plan into action, Nick was free and back on the streets of Erinsborough causing a furious Paul to lash out and sending shockwaves around Erinsborough. When Terese dramatically collapsed, Nick advised that she stop chemotherapy and begin an experimental course of treatment, sparking concern that the disgraced doctor may not be the saviour that Terese’s fiancé, Gary Canning (Damien Richardson) thinks he is. As Paul continued in his efforts to stop Nick from treating Terese, Gary confronted his love-rival and demanded that he back off, but was taken aback when Terese broke up the fight revealing that Paul was the only person who knew she had cancer in the weeks she had kept it secret from him.

It looked like it was all over for the odd couple, as Gary retreated to lick his wounds, but after a pep talk from his daughter Xanthe (Lily Van der Meer), Gary came back fighting and made up with Terese.

War also broke out on Ramsay Street between Neighbours stalwarts Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodbourne) when they returned to after an extended stay in Thailand.
