Neighbours teases surprise wedding in new season

 Who's the mystery bride?

Neighbours is returning to our screens, teasing a big wedding twist ahead for the residents of Ramsay Street.

The Aussie soap has been saved by Amazon Freevee following its shock Channel 5 cancellation last year and is set to air a new batch of episodes starting from this September.

As we're only a few months away, Channel 10 (the network airing the soap in Australia) has appropriately given fans a taste of what they should expect in a new clip promoting their upcoming slate of programmes (jump to the 23-second mark to take a look).

It seems wedding bells will be heard soon in Erinsborough, the fictional Melbourne suburb where the show has been set since its 1985 inception.

Of course, it wouldn't be a soap teaser if we were given any more than a fleeting glance at a woman clad in a wedding dress. The camera only captured the detail of her hand playing with her rose bouquet, but didn't disclose the identity of the mystery bride.

Whether it will be a veteran character or a newcomer to walk down the aisle, it's too soon to say. Though, it would be interesting to see whether Mischa Barton's character Reece could be the one saying "I do."

The clip also included a scene with Jane Harris and Mike Young from last July's finale. While the moment isn't new, fans of the show are guaranteed to get more scenes with the couple as Guy Pearce has been confirmed to return opposite Jane actress Annie Jones.

It isn't clear how long Pearce will be back for. His agreement with Neighbours could obviously impact the storylines and if he is only back for a short time, it could soon be the end of the line for Mike and Jane after their finale reunion.

Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.
