Neighbours' Chelsea Murphy to suffer setback amid baby plan

 She's harshly dismissed by Paul next week.

Neighbours schemer Chelsea Murphy suffers another setback next week as Paul Robinson brutally dismisses the seriousness of their relationship.

Chelsea is aiming to cement a long-term future with Paul, but it seems that they're not on the same page.

A new storyline twist sees Chelsea make a secret plan to get pregnant with Paul's baby so that he'll be tied to her for life.

Chelsea comes up with this idea after scrutinising Paul's will and seeing the names of his children listed.

Aware of how much Paul values the importance of family, Chelsea ditches her contraceptive pills and goes into full-on seduction mode.

Next week, Chelsea takes every opportunity she can to sleep with Paul, desperate to increase her chances of getting pregnant.

Chelsea is frustrated when Paul's thoughts keep turning back to his ex-wife Terese Willis, wanting to support her following her split from Toadie Rebecchi.

Taking the honest approach for once, Chelsea admits that she's jealous of Paul and Terese's strong connection.

Paul harshly describes Chelsea as a "fun time" only, leaving her disappointed that he isn't taking her seriously. Will she continue with her plan regardless?

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul, recently dropped a hint that his character could grow more attached to Chelsea in the longer-term.

"It's lucky that he does have Chelsea because underneath the gold-digging and ambition, she is actually a good person and she's growing very, very fond of Paul – and I think vice versa with Paul's attitude towards Chelsea as well.

"Paul is openly resigning his attitude towards Terese. As I've said before, I think he's accepting it. Underneath that, I think Paul will always try – and if he sees an 'in' to get back with Terese, he probably will."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, March 19.
