Yahoo News Neighbours' Ned Willis is threatened by show newcomer Zenin
Neighbours fans will see Ned Willis face sinister threats next week, as his time in the fight club unexpectedly comes back to haunt him.
Show bosses have cast former Home and Away star Axle Whitehead in the role of dangerous newcomer Zenin, who issues a frightening warning to Ned (Ben Hall) in a sinister new storyline.
Zenin wants Ned to keep quiet about something that happened during his short-lived involvement in the club. Ned is baffled by this, not understanding what he's supposed to be staying silent about.
Recognising the seriousness of Zenin's threats against him and his girlfriend Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer), Ned turns to Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) for some advice.

Paul suggests that Ned should make a power move against Zenin and his associates, as they're clearly not the kind of people to scare easily and calling the police won't work.
Ned complains that he doesn't have any power in this situation, so Paul advises him to bluff and hope for the best.
Later in the week, Ned secretly heads to the prison to visit Kane Jones (Barry Conrad), one of his acquaintances from the fight club.
Ned wants to know what the incriminating thing is that Zenin thinks he saw – hoping that Kane will be able to shine some light on the situation. But will he agree to do so?

The following day, Ned reaches breaking point when he sees Zenin lurking around the complex.
Fearing that Zenin has plans to hurt Yashvi, Ned decides to take Paul's advice and try to bluff his way out of the situation.
Confronting Zenin, Ned claims that he remembers the illicit activity at the fight ring and has given a statement to his lawyer. If anything happens to Yashvi, this statement will go straight to the police.
Ned is clearly playing with fire, but will it be enough to convince Zenin to back down?
