1. Paul faces a backlash at Lassiters
Neighbours legend Paul Robinson is banned from his own hotel next week as his sister Lucy lays down the law.
Paul is ordered to stay away from Lassiters for good after he’s caught out for embezzling money from the business.
Next week’s episodes see Paul confide in his partner Terese Willis about how he “borrowed” thousands to bail her out of her recent financial problems.
This saved Terese from having to sell Power Road, but there’s huge trouble ahead when Paul’s son Leo Tanaka overhears his incriminating conversation…
“Paul promises Leo that he always planned to pay the money back when the time was right,” our Neighbours insider explains.
“Leo is far from convinced by this and pulls out his phone to tell his wife Krista what’s been going on under her nose at the hotel.
“When Paul begs Leo not to drop him in it, he agrees – but only if his dad comes clean himself!”
Paul reluctantly ‘fesses up to Krista about his ill-fated decision to steal $300,000 from the company accounts.

He spins a sob story about how desperate he was, but Krista finds it very difficult to sympathise over his terrible decision-making.
Later, Krista agrees to respect Paul’s decision to hire Annalise Hartman as a new manager for the hotel, which will free him up to spend more time in New York.
Krista has one condition – Paul must step back entirely from Lassiters because he can no longer be trusted.
The pressure grows on Paul when his sister Lucy returns to Erinsborough and figures out that her nervous-looking family are all hiding something from her.
“Lucy forces Paul and Terese to tell her what’s really going on,” our source confirms.
“She can’t believe that Paul would be so foolish and she immediately pulls rank, announcing that he’s banned from the upcoming jewellery exhibition and the hotel itself – indefinitely!”
Will Paul respect his sister’s wishes?
2. Wendy makes life awkward for Andrew and Holly
Wendy Rodwell searches for someone to model her jewellery, as she continues to prepare her entries for the upcoming exhibition. When her cheating husband Andrew feels self-conscious under the glare of the camera, Wendy invites Holly Hoyland over to offer him some modelling advice.
Love cheats Holly and Andrew are reluctantly forced to pose in front of Wendy, who’s oblivious to the fact that they’ve recently slept together. When the awkward atmosphere all becomes too much, Andrew pulls out of the shoot earlier than planned.
3. Andrew and Holly talk in private
When they next get a moment alone, Andrew reminds Holly that their night together was a one-off. Holly admits that, despite what they’d agreed, she can’t stop thinking about Andrew.
