Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has teased an ‘unbelievable’ storyline for Paul Robinson when the show makes its highly-anticipated return next year – and consider us very intrigued.

The Aussie soap was rescued by Amazon Freevee last month, after previously being axed by Channel 5, who cited their desire to invest in ‘original UK drama’ as the reason for their controversial decision.

An hour-long final episode, which featured a host of former stars including Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Margot Robbie, aired in July, ending the serial drama on a huge high, with over 4 million viewers tuning in.

But despite it’s near-perfect ending, Neighbours was revived by Amazon Freevee and will return to screens in the second half of next year, with Jackie Woodburne, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney and Stefan Dennis, who play Susan Kennedy, Karl Kennedy, Toadie Rebecchi and Paul Robinson respectively, having all signed on to take part in the sequel series.

Little is known about what storylines the beloved soap will tackle upon its return, but Stefan, 64, has teased the possibility of an ‘unbelievable’ storyline for his iconic character Paul.

‘You’re kidding?’, he said in a humorous clip, shared on Neighbours’ socials. ‘They want Paul to do THAT?

‘I know I’ve done some strange things in the past but THAT is unbelievable! Think you’d better stay tuned!’

Consider us excited.

Paul was last seen in the show’s final Channel 5 episode, after he reunited with longtime love Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), before joining a host of familiar faces on the balcony of No.24 to celebrate Toadie’s wedding to Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden).

Iconic soap power couple Scott and Charlene (Jason Donovan and Kylie) were among those old friends, as were Jane ‘Plain Jane Superbrain’ Harris (Annie Jones) and former flame Mike Young (Guy Pearce).

Amazon Freevee, meanwhile, decided to bring Neighbours back following the fanfare and uproar of the show’s initial cancellation.

Not all heroes wear capes.
