NEIGHBOURS WEEKNIGHTS AT 6.30PM ON ELEVEN After their undeniable chemistry resulted in a shock kiss earlier this year, Piper and Tyler have tried to put their feelings to one side. It’s not just Brad and Terese’s ban on the pair being together keeping them apart but the star-crossed lovers themselves. They know there is a big age gap of about eight years that might not otherwise be a problem if Piper wasn’t a 16-year-old high school student. Since they locked lips, the two have been just friends, with Tyler (Travis Burns) supporting Piper (Mavournee Hazel) through her relationship with dodgy ex-boyfriend Brodie (Matt Testro) as well as Josh’s (Harley Bonner) death.

Deaf to Ridge’s blatant threats to stay silent about a newborn Douglas’s true paternity or risk the consequences of his indiscretion, Dr Wolin wastes little time antagonising his former patient. Lurking at an outdoor restaurant, Wolin introduces himself to an oblivious Caroline as her husband’s urologist, much to an observant Ridge’s consternation. The encounter enrages Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), motivating him to privately warn Dr Wolin (Mark Damon Espinoza) to keep away from Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) but the doctor tauntingly insists that his interaction with Mrs Forrester was innocent and if Ridge really is the baby’s father then he has nothing to hide. Incensed, Ridge looms threateningly over Wolin with a subtle death threat. Unknown to Ridge, nearby diner Katie (Heather Tom) is watching the scenario, intrigued by Ridge’s frightening behaviour.…

Unaware that they are living with a false sense of security, Bill and Brooke have dared to believe in Katie’s recent declaration that she’s given up drinking.

* Based on the novels The Marmalade Files and The Mandarin Code by journalists Chris Uhlmann and Steve Lewis, six-part mini-series Secret City lured back two of Australia’s most intriguing exports to play top politicians. Two-time Academy Award nominee Jacki Weaver stars as Labor powerbroker Catriona Bailey, a single mother from the Sutherland Shire in Sydney’s south who worked hard to rise to the Senate. “Catriona is a very powerful woman, and a very ambitious woman,” says Weaver. “She’s a great character because she’s full of contradictions, and she’s very complex. I’ve drawn inspiration, not from any one female politician in particular, but I think it’s fair to say that a part of my character is based on an amalgam of female politicians I’ve seen, not just in Australia, but…
