Yahoo News Neighbours characters in danger as Finn Kelly's memories return
Neighbours is about to air the must-see storyline that we've expected for months, as Finn Kelly's memories return.
This week's episodes see Finn get a brief flash of his past as he shares a kiss with his old flame Elly Conway, setting the stage for a big new storyline. Next week, more memories come flooding back, including his past crimes.
Show bosses have confirmed that Finn turning bad again will be one of the key storylines airing in the show's 35th anniversary week next month, so the stakes are going to be higher than ever. Here's a quick guide to 8 characters who should probably be pretty worried right now...
1. Elly Conway
Before his convenient amnesia hit, one of Finn's favourite hobbies was to torment Elly. The pair have a long and turbulent history, so Elly is sure to be heavily involved as her ex-lover turns evil once more and (presumably) remembers that he hates her guts.
It's a forbidden kiss with Elly that starts the ball rolling when it comes to Finn's memories returning this week. Show bosses have also confirmed that Finn will exact his revenge when Elly heads off to celebrate her 35th birthday on Pierce's remote island next month.
With Jodi Anasta confirmed to be leaving the show, and teasing a "brutal" exit storyline, could the fateful trip cost Elly her life after she inadvertently awakens the monster within Finn?
2. Bea Nilsson
Finn is currently in a relationship with Bea, but their history is just as dark. If we cast our minds back to 2018, a showdown between the pair in the woods sparked a chain of events that led to Finn's cliff fall and coma. Prior to this, he had controlled and manipulated Bea while using a false identity.
Bea kindly forgave and forgot Finn's crimes once he lost his memories last year, but we have a feeling this will be a decision she ultimately lives to regret. Maybe it'll inspire the sequel to her often-heard 'Sorry' song?
3. Susan Kennedy
Showing how events in Neighbours can spiral out of control just a tad, Finn initially targeted Susan because he wanted her job at Erinsborough High. After many twists and turns, their feud ended with Susan pushing Finn off a cliff. These things happen in Erinsborough.
Staying true to her Saint Susan nickname, the kind-hearted Kennedy ultimately forgave Finn for all of his pre-amnesia antics and even invited him to live under her roof. But if Finn remembers how much that cliff fall hurt (ouch), we wouldn't want to be in Susan's shoes as he cruelly contemplates his revenge.
4. Gary Canning
Neighbours helpfully reminds us of Gary's animosity towards Finn next week, which may not be a coincidence. Gary is alarmed when he finds out that Finn has started tutoring Harlow, recognising the similarities to the time that his daughter Xanthe was groomed by Finn.
Gary refuses to sit back and say nothing while history is in danger of repeating itself, but upsetting Finn just when his memories are returning probably isn't the smartest move for anyone on Ramsay Street right now.
5. Toadie Rebecchi
Although we don't yet have an exact list of characters who'll be on Pierce's island once Finn goes on the rampage, we do know that Toadie will be among those in the danger zone.
A recent press release from Neighbours teased: "The ensuing drama centres around Elly being spirited off to Pierce's remote island glamping resort to celebrate her 35th birthday with a key group of her Ramsay Street friends. Erinsborough favourite Toadie is among the doomed passenger list."
It did seem strange at the time to just single out Toadie – could it be an early clue over who'll be in dire straits thanks to Finn? If so, we demand an Eve Morey cameo appearance with Sonya as Toadie's guardian angel.
6. Lucy Robinson
PR-savvy Lucy makes a bold decision next week by announcing that Finn won't be welcome at her wedding expo event, fearing that he'd create bad press. (Although that would probably apply to most of the Street, in real life.) Lucy doesn't have a history with Finn, but her no-nonsense choice could be enough to put her top of his enemies list.
Lucy enforces her "Finn ban" just as his memories are continuing to return and he's wrestling with old feelings of anger. As Finn starts to wonder whether he's becoming a monster again (spoiler alert – yes), could Lucy find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time?
7. Chloe Brennan
Finn doesn't have too much of a history with Chloe, although that certainly didn't stop him nearly running her over when she was caught in the crossfire of his tensions with Xanthe in July 2018.
Chloe's friendship with Elly, and the fact that Elly's birthday celebrations are taking place on Pierce's island, are sure to mean that she bags herself a place on the fateful trip next month. It wouldn't be a big Neighbours week without a Brennan family member in peril, right?
8. Trent Kelly
Neighbours provided us with more details from Finn's backstory last week, with the revelation that a big mistake from his father Trent meant that he wasn't rescued when he was kidnapped in Colombia all those years ago.
With his memories coming back, it won't be long before Finn remembers just how difficult his ordeal was. Neighbours fans haven't seen the last of Trent, so could this mean that Finn will go out for revenge against his feckless father?
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
