The following episode on Neighbours in the UK, newcomer Byron discovers a connection between Clive and one of his sassy clients and starts to worry that he might be cheating on Jane!
Beginning on July 4 in the UK and July 14 in Australia, these sequences will be broadcast.
Even though Clive Gibbons (Geoff Paine) didn’t appear on Neighbours very frequently in 2022, he left a lasting impression when he did.
Toadie (Ryan Moloney), Mel (Lucinda Cowden), and Jane (Annie Jones) went to supper at Clive’s opulent apartment earlier this year, and the experience led Karl (Alan Fletcher) to realize he wanted to give Susan (Jackie Woodburne) a comfortable existence comparable to what Clive could provide Jane.
This prompted him to spend $200,000 and nearly break his marriage by investing in Montana Marcel’s (Tammin Sursok) cosmetics brand.
When David (Takaya Honda) and Freya (Phoebe Roberts) admitted to their involvement in Gareth’s death, Clive also made an appearance, and that narrative is expected to have major repercussions in the weeks to come.
Now that Clive is returned, the attention is largely on him and his relationship with Jane.
Joe Klocek’s character, Byron, is about to learn something significant about the director of Erinsborough Hospital. Surely the doctor isn’t having an affair?
As we now know, Jane’s “golden child” Byron Stone is living a double life. He made an unexpected appearance in Erinsborough last week, and told Jane that he’s here to stay.
This coming week, he bags himself a job at Rebecchi Law, but is soon skipping meetings and handing confidential documents to a mystery figure, and it’s eventually revealed that he’s moonlighting as a gigolo.
Byron Stone, Jane’s “golden child,” is leading a parallel life, as we now know. Last week, he showed up unannounced in Erinsborough and informed Jane that he would be staying.
The following week, he secures a position at Rebecchi Law. However, he quickly begins skipping meetings and giving sensitive information to an unidentified person, and it is later discovered that he is a gigolo on the side.
He believes Clive is having an extramarital affair with his mother, and he is desperate to find out why.
Clive is no stranger to sneaking around, and after breaking up with Sheila Canning, he and Jane kept their relationship a secret for a period of months (Colette Mann).
While it didn’t take him long to move on from Sheila, at least he done so before, and Clive and Jane appear to be a good match; surely the doctor isn’t secretly flirting behind Jane’s back?
But Clive is obviously concealing something!
Nicolette too harbors certain unfounded fears, but these pertain to her brother. She has noticed Byron’s peculiar behavior, and it appears that she is about to learn about his sultry extracurricular activities.
She begins looking into Byron’s personal life without learning from the errors she made while looking into Glen, and she finally confronts him about it. He admits they have a far greater issue at hand when she challenges him, though.
As the week goes on, Byron hits a couple of dead ends in his investigation. Yet working with Nicolette to investigate Clive brings the estranged brother and sister closer, allowing them to see eye to eye in a way they never have before.
We know by now just how determined a Stone is to find out the truth, and it won’t be long until it comes out.
So, is Clive really cheating on Jane? Or is there another equally scandalous explanation for his connection to Byron’s client?
Also the following week, Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) is taken aback to find that Nicolette is accompanying Kiri (Gemma Bird Matheson) as she returns to church.
After Hendrix and Mackenzie’s wedding, Chloe and Kiri spent the night together and were shocked by how awkward it was. Although there had been sexual tension between them for weeks, when it came down to it, there was just not the right feeling.
Then, this week, Chloe turns to Kiri once more as she searches for a diversion from David’s issues in jail, but once more the atmosphere seems off.
So, when Chloe finds out that Kiri and Nicolette have been attending church together the next week, she forces herself to be sincere with Kiri, and the two of them finally have a sincere discussion about their future together.
