Neighbours Halloween Special: Erinsborough Will Never Be The Same

First announced with a special trailer last week, fans of Neighbours are being treated to another Halloween webseries, Neighbours vs. Time Travel. Following the success of previous Halloween online special Neighbours vs. Zombies in 2014, this five part web series is being released daily from Monday 30^th October.

The web series sees Paul travelling back to 1985 when the show first aired. In doing so, he alters the course of Neighbours history and 2017 Erinsborough is no longer the suburb we know and love! In this parallel universe, everything is different.

Paul is the owner of Lassiters, which is much grander than the building fans know now, filming instead taking place in the Langham Hotel, Melbourne.

Paul is now married to Terese, who is a far cry from her regular character. Parallel universe Terese lives in velour tracksuits and Ugg boots; she’s no longer the independent, strong business woman.

This role is taken by Piper, who insists on calling Paul ‘Daddy’, since Drad (Brad) pays no interest in his children. Piper is now the strong business woman helping to run the hotel, but by doing so is paying little-to-no attention to her girlfriend. Which leaves the question, what happened to Tyler? He’s now an emo blogger.

Paul is shocked to see deranged son Rob in his hotel room, wielding a knife. Last seen on Ramsay Street in 2007 after trying to kill his father, parallel universe Rob in a free man, keen to persue a healthy relationship with Paul!

As he is leaving the hotel Paul is surprised in the elevator by Sonya (who now possesses a Russian accent), but much to his surprise she kisses him and reveals that he is the father of her baby! As Eve Morey who plays Sonya is pregnant in real life this was a clever storyline to include. In this parallel universe Sonya is a mobster alongside Jarod Rebecchi – the ToadFather.

Perhaps the biggest shock in the parallel universe has not been revealed in the Neighbours vs. Time Travel special just yet, but was given to us by Ben Nicholas in this week’s Neighbourshood online episode. Ben revealed that in the parallel universe Karl is a famous musician! This has left Susan on Ramsay street, resulting in her marriage to Phil Martin. Phil was last seen in the 20^th anniversary episode in 2005, but lived on the street in 1985 when Neighbours started, and returned as a regular character between 1992 and 1995.

With the Toadfather’s mod hot on his heels, can Paul set history straight? Will be safely return to a normal 2017 Ramsay Street? Tune in every day this week to find out, as well as to see which other Ramsay Street residents feature in the parallel universe!

Neighbours vs. Time Travel will be released every day on the official Neighbours YouTube channel and Facebook page from Monday 30^th October to Friday 3^rd November.
