When Chelsea feels her romantic connection with Paul under threat, she makes a radical move to tie him down. But will it work or push him further away?
This week in Neighbours, Chelsea (Viva Bianca) is anxious after her jealous actions saw her rival Krista (Majella Davis), who’s pregnant, rushed to hospital after becoming trapped in the stifling Lassiters sauna.

Luckily, Paul (Stefan Dennis) found Krista and was able to get her out alive. Now, he’s determined to get to the bottom of how she got there.
“Chelsea is terrified Paul might find her out,” Viva tells TV WEEK. “And she fears that if he does, it will be the end of their relationship. She never intended Krista to suffer as she did, so she feels sick with guilt.”
Paul presses Chelsea to investigate how Krista became trapped, and while she stalls, Paul’s considerate behaviour towards Krista makes his son, Leo (Tim Kano), soften towards his father, who’s often so harsh. And when Paul asks Leo to consider moving back to his penthouse, Chelsea panics.

“Chelsea has shown her support for Paul’s good relations with his family,” she says. “But Leo moving back in would radically alter the nest in which Chelsea is currently centrally perched. Would there even be room left in it for her?”
In a desperate last-ditch attempt to mark her territory, she offers Paul something that would radically alter their relationship.
Will she propose? Claim she’s pregnant? Who and what will she destroy to tighten her grip on Paul and ensure she’s his number-one priority?
“Chelsea is a master manipulator and a survivor,” Viva says. “If she can’t distract Paul, she’ll have to come up with a way to scare off the others.”
