After just over a year off the air, 2023 saw Neighbours make a triumphant return much to the delight of fans around the world.<\/p>\n

A two-year time jump, jaw-dropping twists and shedloads of drama made it feel like the much-loved soap had never gone away.<\/p>\n

Now, executive producer Jason Herbison and his team give RadioTimes.com<\/a> a sneaky glimpse of what to expect in 2024 in our amazing storyline preview.<\/p>\n

Toadie\u2019s heartbreaking choice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cToadie and Terese bonded at a time of mutual heartbreak. However, everything they thought to be true was turned upside down during the revelations of flashback week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are now in a period where they are forced to re-evaluate their feelings for their respective partners, Melanie and Paul. Toadie remembers that Melanie is a good person and old feelings are resurfacing, yet he\u2019s also in love with Terese. What does he do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul plays dirty for Terese<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) in Neighbours.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

\u201cPaul has never stopped loving Terese. In his mind, he made the ultimate sacrifice by setting her free on the day of their recommitment ceremony after Krista\u2019s supposed death.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow the truth has been exposed, all bets are off in his mind. He firmly believes Toadie is all wrong for Terese and he wants her back!\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicolette\u2019s past catches up with her<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nicolette (Hannah Monson) in Neighbours.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

\u201cNicolette has never reconciled her complicated history with a face from her past called Sasha. Early in the new year, his wife Veronica shows up in Erinsborough with some worrying news and forces her to confront that.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicolette likes to walk a moral tightrope, and gets herself in situations that nobody else ever would. We love it when we have a chance to explore that!\u201d<\/p>\n

Haz has a dark secret<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThere is more to Haz than meets the eye. One of the most exciting storylines for 2024 involves him, it\u2019s a window into his backstory that explains how he became the person he is today, and is something we haven\u2019t done before.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaz is attracted to Mackenzie but we will discover there are reasons preventing him from getting too involved with her \u2013 or any woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo and Krista\u2019s dangerous romance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Krista (Majella Davis) in Neighbours.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

\u201cReece\u2019s troubled sister Krista is fundamentally a good person, but her addictions are never far from the surface. Leo deserves to find love and happiness, but whether Krista is the right girl for him or not, that remains to be seen. Leo\u2019s family are definitely worried about them getting closer\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

New beginnings for Jane<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jane (Annie Jones) in Neighbours.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

\u201cThe road to Eirini Rising, Jane and Terese\u2019s joint venture combining the revamped school and a new retirement community, has been challenging. However, there is good news ahead for the venture in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has the potential to be an exciting new location for us, bringing together several characters in a work and living setting. It also brings possibilities for some favourite characters from yesteryear to return\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike returns \u2013 and so do other old faces<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen the last of Mike! Guy Pearce continues to be the best Hollywood star on the block and we love he\u2019s committed to making more appearances and keeping Mike and Jane\u2019s love story alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will definitely see more returnees in the new year and not always from the distant past, there are many characters from recent years that might have cause to pay a visit!\u201d<\/p>\n

JJ\u2019s daddy twist<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe chapter of JJ\u2019s search for his biological father is certainly not closed. While JJ believes he is the US donor Cara lined up, there is a further twist in store.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has everything to do with the mysterious passage Andrew read in Phillipa\u2019s diary and the infamous missing pages. We planned this to be a long story arc and there are many more developments to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scandal for Karl<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThere is a very funny storyline coming up with Karl that has become something of a gift that keeps on giving. We know the humour in Neighbours is very important to our viewers and Alan Fletcher has certainly leaned into this particular one. He may never live it down!\u201d<\/p>\n

Wedding mystery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cWithout saying who, or when, or even whether there\u2019s a happy ending, we can confirm that at least one couple will be walking down the aisle in 2024. Anything can happen at an Erinsborough wedding \u2013 some characters will be happy and harmonious, some always find themselves in the midst of a crisis, and some just keep attracting trouble\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
