Neighbours is lining up a shock hit and run storyline in its unmissable late-night special next month.

The Aussie soap is treating fans to another 10pm screening on Monday, February 12 – but this time we can expect double the drama as it will be on for a full 60 minutes.

The hour-long episode will see the debut of Ryan Thomas's character Rafael and the return of homewrecker Izzy Hoyland, along with an array of other familiar faces.

However, one of the biggest talking points of the episode will involve a dramatic hit and run incident, which could leave one character's life hanging in the balance.

The special – which was directed by former Neighbours star Scott Major – has been titled 'Hit and Run' to coincide with the explosive plot, and will pave the way for a huge week of twists and surprises.

Channel 5's Commissioning Editor of Factual Entertainment Greg Barnett added: "If you're a fan of Neighbours then you cannot afford to miss this special 10pm episode as, for the first time ever, it will be a brand new hour of spectacular drama.

"Who gets run over, who runs for their life and whose life ends up hanging by a thread…? All will be revealed in this nail-biting episode."

Neighbours' Executive Producer Jason Herbison added: "As well as Izzy Hoyland's explosive return, the special launches a gamut of exciting new stories involving all our current cast, some looking very different.

"Plus, a number of past characters will be dropping in and, of course, we're delighted to have Ryan Thomas as part of the drama.

"'Hit and Run' kicks off a week of surprises, intrigue, desperation and of course romance, and there is more to come in the coming months."

Neighbours airs weeknights at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
