Neighbours' Leo Tanaka suffers another setback next week, as he gets fired by his own father Paul Robinson.

Leo (Tim Kano) faces Paul's wrath for losing interest in the Backpackers following the recent dramas in his personal life.

Today's episode (April 22) sees Paul give Leo a stern warning after finding out about David taking a punch during a recent brawl at the Backpackers.

Paul knows that Leo (Tim Kano) should have been the one to address the violent situation, rather than let his brother get caught in the crossfire instead.

Next week, Paul's anger grows when he finds out Leo has spent an afternoon skinny dipping with fun-loving newcomer Roxy Willis when he should have been managing the hostel.

Things only get worse when Paul heads over to the Backpackers and finds it in a complete state, as Leo has clearly been neglecting it for some time.

No-nonsense as ever, Paul decides he has no choice but to fire Leo on the spot. Although Leo is stung by his father's rejection, he puts on a brave face and claims that he's more than happy to walk away.

As Leo suddenly has a lot more time on his hands, he starts spending more time with Roxy, admiring her negotiation skills as she wraps her aunt Terese Willis around her little finger.

Roxy knows that Leo needs a new business venture and suggests that they should join forces. When Leo learns that Roxy has a lot of money behind her, will he agree to strike up a partnership?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
