Neighbours bullying ordeal revealed as two new characters arrive

Max's family descend on the Street.

Neighbours' Max Ramsay is left stunned by his family's desperation next week as they beg for his help.

Show bosses are bringing in Max's mother Yvette and sister Saskia in next week's episodes – and it looks like one of them will be sticking around for the long-term.

When Yvette and Saskia first turn up at the share house, they claim to be there for a brief visit.

Yvette isn't able to keep her true agenda hidden for long, though. She eventually lets slip that she wants Saskia to stay on Ramsay Street permanently.

Yvette is frantic as Saskia has been bullied at her school in Brisbane," our Neighbours source explains.

"Max has every sympathy for his little sister, but he's also unsure whether his housemates at Number 32 are going to tolerate having a school-age teenager living with them."

Max's tough stance crumbles when he sees first-hand evidence of just how unhappy Saskia is with her life in Brisbane, while it's clear that Yvette is desperate to sort the situation out.

Much to his surprise, Max manages to convince Taye Obasi and Byron Stone that it won't be too bad having Saskia around.
