A number of Erinsborough favourites are packing up their things to leave in the lead up to the soap's final curtain. Estranged spouses Terese and Paul are each planning separate moves; while Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) is inspired by the family reunion to join brother David and their dad in relocating to the US. Nicolette Stone (Charlotte Chimes) also has plans to head to New York, while Chloe's own decision to exit Ramsay Street is well under way - but there's unfinished business for her.

Susan is left saddened at the prospect at so many friends leaving at once, and struggles with so much change. And with talk of Ramsay Street houses being knocked down, what has brought on this sudden situation? Meanwhile, beloved friend Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) asks Susan and Karl (Alan Fletcher) to take charge of the history book. Will Neighbours' conclusion see the Kennedys left behind? This isn't the only problem Susan must contend with...

2. Susan plots against Izzy

Susan remains determined to get rid of Izzy - who fans will recall once had an affair with Karl, but is now dating the couple's son Mal (Benjamin McNair). Susan won't allow Izzy to dictate everything and puts her own plan in motion; but as Izzy has a run-in with another former resident, she learns of Susan's scheme and refuses to let it go.

Susan later makes Mal choose between his parents and his new love. To her dismay, her son chooses Izzy and Susan is left wondering if she's made a big mistake. Soon, though, Izzy is sharing a chance encounter with Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien), and his wealthy status causes her to cross the line. Karl and Susan get wind of her behaviour and prepare for a confrontation - but Izzy's next move surprises everyone. What is she up to?

3. Happily ever after for Chloe?

But just who is this mystery character who has given Chloe so much to think about? Given that Neighbours has been welcoming back so many familiar faces, it may be worth investigating with our extensive guide of returnees - but you'll have to keep watching to find out more. The big question is, what is Chloe debating, and what will she do next?

4. Will Paul and Terese reunite?

Although this pair are throwing themselves into fresh starts, it's clear there is still something between them. Terese ended her marriage to Paul after yet more of his lies, but is she regretting walking away? Next week, they end up back in each other's orbits, and Terese makes a discovery that leaves her emotional and overwhelmed. As a result, the stage is set for drama with current partner - and Paul's brother - Glen Donnelly (Richard Huggett).

Meanwhile, Glen is struggling with Terese's continued loyalty to Paul, and although she tries to reassure him, Glen comes to a sad and painful realisation. Is it the end of the road for the couple? Well, we'll be seeing Paul and Terese confronting their feelings -will this pave the way for a reunion?

5. Jane welcomes a familiar face amid personal drama

Still smarting from her breakup with Clive Gibbons (Geoff Paine), Jane isn't happy to see son Byron (Joe Klocek) handing Clive the watch he left at Danielle's house. Byron sets her straight on the matter and encourages his mum to fix things with Clive - but Byron has another bombshell for Jane. What is it? Well, it leaves her more disapproving than ever of Byron, which in turn stirs up old resentments in daughter Nicolette.

With Nic and Jane at odds again, Nicolette wonders where her future really lies and is soon making plans to move to America. Jane worries that she has driven Nic away by behaving like her nan, Mrs Mangel (Vivean Gray). Later, Clive makes a grand gesture in the hopes of winning Jane back - but his plan is ruined by the unexpected return of Jane's ex, Mike Young (Guy Pearce).

Jane shows Mike around Ramsay Street ahead of the neighbourhood going under the hammer; but old feelings resurface and Clive's jealousy leads to a showdown. Will Jane reconcile with her children, and where does her romantic future lie?
