The fate of Neighbours favourite Jane Harris hangs in the balance when she accidentally hits a cable from the garden lights while digging in the backyard.
Knocked unconscious, Jane (Annie Jones) lies slumped on the lawn at the back of No. 32, her former Ramsay Street home. She needs urgent help – but will anyone find her before it’s too late?
The return of “Plain Jane Superbrain” to Erinsborough has been shrouded in mystery.
And soon on Neighbours, Jane’s on a quest to unearth information about No. 32. She’s also determined to keep the real reason she’s in town a secret.
“Jane feels bad about deceiving her old friends, but she knows she has to,” Annie, 51, tells TV WEEK. “If anyone were to know the real reason [she was there], they might sabotage her plans and ruin her agenda.”
Is this the last we’ll see of Jane?
Jane quizzes Sonya (Eve Morey) about past renovations made to No. 32. What exactly is she up to?
“Jane is trying to put together a puzzle, with snippets of recollections from Mrs Mangel [the late Vivean Gray], old photographs and distant memories,” Annie says.
“She’s searching for something that may have been left behind.”
Eventually, Jane discovers the remains of the house’s old fireplace are buried in the backyard. This is exactly what she’s been looking for and she promptly decides to dig up the fireplace.
“The rubble might contain what she’s searching for,” Annie teases.
Keen to start her search, Jane finally seizes her chance while the Rebecchis are away from home.
“She becomes quite manic – her desperation grows by the day,” Annie says. “She knows she has only a small window of opportunity to search.”
Jane’s rash actions have grave consequences.
Jane grabs a shovel and gets to work in the backyard, tossing up dirt like an amateur archaeologist.
However, she’s completely unaware of the danger she’s in – until she accidentally strikes the buried cable.
As a bolt of electricity surges through her, Jane is knocked cold.
The trouble is, she’s alone in the yard and no-one knows she’s there.
Is this the last we’ll see of Jane?
