Crocodile Alert! And no, we're not talking about the trendy shoes. The popular soap opera, Neighbours, known for its outlandish storylines, has just aired a shocking episode where a character meets their end in the jaws of a crocodile. This is a first for the show, which has been running for over 40 years.
The recent episodes have been anything but cozy, taking a dramatic turn from the show's beloved 80s era. The characters find themselves in precarious situations in the Australian outback. Holly Hoyland, a long-standing character, takes a break with her conman lover, Heath Royce, unaware of his plot to embezzle millions from Lassiters hotel and their business partners with his girlfriend, Tess Carmichael.
Mackenzie Hargreaves, a junior lawyer, becomes suspicious of Heath's behavior and expresses her concerns to her boss, Toadie Rebecchi. Toadie has been going through a tough time himself, with a breakdown and flashbacks of his past marriages. This has put a strain on his marriage to Terese Willis, and things are not looking good for their upcoming first anniversary.
In the next episode, Holly and Heath go on a trip to Mount Harper. After confiding in his ex-wife, Melanie Pearson, about his personal issues, she realizes his emotional instability and follows him to Heath's house. There, she discovers his plan to confront Heath over his treatment of Mackenzie. But things take a dangerous turn when they uncover Heath and Tess' plot to bring down Lassiters and their partners, as well as their fake passports. Before they can alert the authorities, they are held hostage and taken to the outback.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie becomes suspicious of Heath's reluctancy to let Holly reach out to her family and friends back in Erinsborough. Worried for their friend's safety, she and her boyfriend, Haz Devkar, fly to Mount Harper to find them. But upon their arrival, they realize that Holly has already been taken away, and they start to panic.
Unbeknownst to them, Holly has been kidnapped and taken to a cattle station where Toadie and Melanie are also held captive. In a vulnerable moment, Toadie admits that he still loves his ex-wife, raising questions about a possible reunion. But Lucinda Cowden, the show's writer, reveals that it's too soon to tell.
As the episode concludes, Toadie is left alone on a railway track, and a freight train approaches, putting his life in danger. Meanwhile, Holly is chased by Heath, who discovers that she has escaped from his car. She is pushed into a silo container filled with corn, and Melanie comes to her rescue.
As Heath desperately searches for Mackenzie and Haz in the bush, shots are fired, and Mackenzie is hit, just like Toadie. The episode ends with their lives hanging in the balance.
