Yahoo News Neighbours reveals new clues on Fake Dee's backstory
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Wednesday's Neighbours episode, which has now aired in Australia but doesn't air on Channel 5 in the UK until 1.45pm and 5.30pm.
Neighbours has delved deeper into Fake Dee Bliss's backstory, with hints that she's damaged after a traumatic childhood with her mother.
Fake Dee – aka impostor Andrea Somers – has been in the show for over a month now, but there's still plenty we don't know about the woman who's been cruelly conning Toadie Rebecchi.
Fortunately, Fake Dee's daughter Willow has now let some intriguing clues slip in Wednesday's episode, which just aired on Channel 11 in Australia.
Well aware that her mum's behaviour isn't really normal, Willow confided in her Erinsborough High schoolmate Ben Kirk as they caught up at the café.
Careful not to give too much away, Willow asked: "Can I tell you something? You can't tell anyone. I think mum had a pretty rough time of it when she was a kid.
"Her mum messed her up. That's why she's sort of... unpredictable. Her mum put her down all the time, criticised her. I know it sounds small, but it can add up, you know?"
Of course, Ben was quick to point out that he'd never heard any of that before, given that it doesn't actually fit with the real Dee's past.
Covering her tracks, a nervous Willow told him: "She doesn't like anyone to know, that's why you can't tell anyone."
Up until now, we've thought that Andrea is purely motivated by money – having first heard about Dee when she was working with Sindi Watts in a catering kitchen.
But could Willow's revelation about Fake Dee being "messed up" hint at a possible mental health storyline? Is this the reason that she's seemingly starting to believe her own lies, rather than the much-longed-for fan theory that she really is Dee?
As ever with this storyline, there's lots to think about...
Neighbours airs these scenes today at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
