What’s in store in Neighbours’ huge 40th Anniversary week?

Neighbours is about to kick off a huge 40th Anniversary week of episodes, starting Monday 17th March. Here’s all we know about what’s in store…
The dramatic week will see Krista (Majella Davis) and Leo’s (Tim Kano) wedding day arrive, but when Krista sleeps with Sebastian (Rarmian Newton) on the night before the wedding, the day could end in disaster.
Jane Zhang / Prime
Krista’s monumental mistake comes after her half-sister Fallon (Kate Connick) – who also happens to be Seb’s ex – tricks Krista into believing that she’s slept with Leo.
Jackson Finter / Prime
Fallon, who has always been jealous of Krista’s riches, which come from Fallon’s father’s side, has spent weeks trying to break up Krista and Leo.
Now, it seems she might just get her wish…
Ray Messner / Prime
On the morning of the wedding, after a conversation with Taye (Lakota Johnson), Fallon realises that she’s the one in the wrong.
She reveals to Krista that it was a lie – she and Leo didn’t sleep together, and that Leo is devoted to her.
Ray Messner / Prime
Will Krista confess to Leo, or keep her night with Seb a secret and go through with her big day?
Leo stands at the altar, nervously awaiting Krista’s arrival. But will she make it?

Or will Seb be the one to reveal all? As the wedding day gets underway, Seb will be snaking around the venue, waiting for an opportunity to ruin everything.

Elsewhere, Chelsea (Viva Bianca) is back in Erinsborough, after Remi (Naomi Rukavina) manages to track her down.
Ray Messner / Prime
In her brief months living in Erinsborough, Chelsea made it her mission to get pregnant with Paul’s (Stefan Dennis) baby – but as she embarked on a relationship with Paul, she also had a one-night stand with IT investigator Jeffrey (Tim Potter).

Paul and Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) arrive back on Ramsay Street just as Chelsea is stepping out of the car, and Paul immediately realises that he might have become a father for the eighth time.

But with Paul already enamoured by baby Thomas before he’s even learnt whether or not he’s the dad, how will Terese cope with the latest bombshell in their nearly 10-year on-again, off-again relationship?

Meanwhile, Max (Ben Jackson) has spent the past few months in Erinsborough, on the run from the dangerous men he angered back in Brisbane.
A few weeks ago, the men arrived in Erinsborough, and as Lachie (Jack Hayes) took Sadie (Emerald Chan) from the Back Lane Bar as she enjoyed a night out with Holly (Lucinda Armstrong Hall), the gang’s head honcho Carter (Linc Hassler) tracked down Max and forced him into his car, telling him that it was the only way that Sadie would be safe.

This week, Max returns to Erinsborough after escaping Carter’s clutches, but in the huge anniversary week, the men from the Brisbane underworld track him down again – and this time they’re looking to finish the job.
Jackson Finter / Prime
As Max, Nicolette (Hannah Monson), Sadie, Byron (Xavier Molyneux) and Roxy (Zima Anderson) head to the garage after hours, Lachie throws a Molotov cocktail into the building, engulfing it in flames.

This time it’s on Nell (Ayisha Salem-Towner) to tell the story, and as her “The Story of Erinsborough” exhibition gets underway, we celebrate some of the biggest storylines from the past four decades.
As the locals explore Nell’s impressive art, one mysterious figure has come from further afield, and she soon catches JJ’s (Riley Bryant) eye.
Who is Agnes (Anne Charleston), the woman with more than a passing resemblance to Harold’s (Ian Smith) beloved late wife Madge?

As JJ and Nell show Agnes around Eirene Rising and introduce her to Harold and Hilary (Anne Scott-Pendlebury), how will they react to coming face to face with a ghost from their past?
