Neighbours to be hit by poison gas attack in terrifying new storyline

NEIGHBOURS is lining up a shock poison gassing storyline for Erinsborough.

Newcomer Harry is going to attack Toadie Rebecchi’s launch of his late wife’s charity The Sonya Rebecchi Foundation.

As the locals and Toadie’s nearest and dearest come together in the community centre for the launch event, Harry plants canisters of poison gas in the air vents and leaves evidence trying to frame his old friend Finn Kelly.

But when maintenance work forces everyone to head over early, their lives are put in danger when the canisters go off.

Seemingly reformed villain Finn gets the blame with the community turning on him, but when it later transpires that Ned was ultimately behind the scheme with Harry, his girlfriend Bea dumps him realising he’s just as dangerous as Finn was.

It remains to be seen who survives the gas attack.

Actor Alan Fletcher, who plays Dr Karl Kennedy in the CHannel 5 soap, recently revealed to The Sun Online how he won’t be a victim of the evil plot – because he’s busy planning to celebrate his 25th year on the soap.

He told The Sun Online’s Soap Bubble: “I just love my time there so much and it’s been such a wonderful job because I have had the opportunity to do other things and to be honest with you, working with Jackie Woodburn is a dream.

“Why would you think to go off and do something else that’s uncertain anyway?”

He will celebrate his 25th anniversary of starring in the show this year, to coincide with the show’s 35th anniversary.

“Jackie and I will have a big celebration,” he revealed of his on-screen wife Susan.

“We haven’t discussed yet with the bosses what they might do. They were fantastic at celebrating Karl and Susan’s 20th anniversary but Neighbours is turning 35 soon and we’ve already started the planning for what that will look like.”
