All Neighbours spoilers for next week as legend resigns
Neighbours is lining up a huge week for Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), as he makes a momentous decision regarding his future.
He's had a tough time of late, spending much of last week in a coma with stroke-like symptoms after being poisoned by his dastardly nephew Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety).
Now, confronted with returning to normality, he surprises wife Susan (Jackie Woodburne) with a revelation.
Ramsay Street lives up to its name next week when two new members of the clan arrive. Max's (Ben Jackson) mum Yvette (Libby Tanner) and youngster Saskia (Mia Foran) jet in to visit him, but it's not long before the latter decides to make it her permanent home.
She immediately makes quite the impact on Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux), who is surprised to see her innocent façade drop when she tries to kiss him!
Elsewhere, Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) grows closer to his daughter's bestie Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) when she accompanies him on a trip to meet his biological family in Sandy Point.
It all goes swimmingly, but why are they so keen to conceal their late-night drinks from his wife Wendy (Candice Leask)?
Plus, Cara Varga-Murphy's (Sara West) in hot water at work when brother-in-law Taye Obasi's (Lakota Johnson) escorting is exposed, and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) suffers another setback in his love triangle.
For all the hottest goss from Down Under, I'm your man! Here's Metro's guide to next week's Neighbours action.
Holly accompanies Andrew on his trip to Sandy Point, in search of answers regarding his biological family.
Upon arriving at the marina, they encounter his dad Steven and sister Gretchen on his boat. Steven's moved to finally meet his long-lost son, with Gretchen explaining that she lied about his nature to Wendy because she was worried about her dad's health.
He's battling lung cancer – but luckily is responding well to treatment.
After a lovely day, Holly notices that Andrew's on a huge high and suggests that they stop off in the city for a celebratory drink, and they enjoy one another's company.
The next morning, Wendy is thrilled to be offered a job interview at Erinsborough High, but is brought back down to reality after learning about Holly accompanying him to meet his family.
She accuses him of being a hypocrite, and when Holly arrives, she's shocked by Andrew's decision not to tell his wife about their late-night drink.
Elsewhere, Karl's nearest and dearest gather around his hospital bed and he seems subdued.
Jane secures a meeting with Darcy in prison, and Susan thinks her husband should do the same. Karl insists that he never wants to see his nephew ever again.
In the prison, Darcy apologises to a livid Jane, and offers her some comfort by recalling an anecdote that proved Amanda never stopped caring for her.
The next day, Karl is discharged from hospital and decides to pluck up the courage to face his attempted killer. All he wants to know is why he was targeted.
Being honest, Darcy tells him that Karl is too old to be practising medicine.
He's left furious, and it really knocks his confidence. He heads home and tells Susan that he has no intentions of rushing back to Eirini Rising.
Two new Ramsays arrive on the street – Max's mum Yvette, and his younger sister Saskia.
He's shocked when Yvette suggests that Saskia move to Erinsborough long term, due to a bullying situation back home in Brisbane. Max wants to help his little sister, but isn't sure that his flatmates will be on board.
He can see how desperate they both are for it to happen, with Taye and Byron soon talked round. Jane even manages to secure a place at E High for her.
Taye has much bigger issues, though. Lydia wants to meet up and he has to bail on a poker game with Remi.
She and Cara soon confront him, and as he tries to rush away, drops a large wad of cash on the floor that he's just received in payment for his escorting services.

Cara is instantly suspicious, and even more so when she finds Lydia's police ID badge on the floor of is car. After demanding answers, she's shocked by what she hears!
Elsewhere, tensions are running high between Andrew and Wendy ahead of her interview at the school.
She vents to Jane, who suggests that she might want to look at the bigger picture. Andrew could've handled things better, but ultimately, he's found his father and things have worked out for the best – which is exactly what she wanted.
After taking in the advice, Wendy takes in her husband's apology and makes amends for her behaviour too.
But as they repair their relationship, the secret of Andrew's drinks with Holly looms large…
The Varga-Murphys can't believe that Taye has been operating as an escort, and especially that Lydia was his star client.
They're both supportive of him, and Cara decides to confront Lydia about the situation. She denies everything and threatens retaliatory action.
Undeterred, Cara tells the police academy, who arrange for her to be re-assigned a new mentor. Unfortunately, the person is an old friend of Lydia's and there could be a possible blowback.
Taye approaches Byron for help, but there may still be some trouble ahead…
Elsewhere, Saskia is nervous ahead of her first day at her new school, but her spirits are lifted by support from her new neighbours – including the suggestion of a barbecue be hosted to welcome her to the community.
Her new life gets off to a good start, she meets neighbours Dex – who instantly develops a crush – JJ, and Wendy, who is also a newbie to the corridors, and she thanks Max for all of his support.
He's hopeful that his shy, studious sister will come out of her shell.
What he doesn't realise is that she's not as naïve as she makes out, and she takes no time to ask Byron for help adjusting her bikini strap. She then propositions him and tries to plant a kiss!
Across the road, Andrew receives a box of photographs and mementoes from his biological family, and Holly helps him go through them.
She's moved seeing him so emotional, and soon loses track of the time – arriving late to Saskia's party.
Byron is stunned by Saskia's advances and assures her that it won't be going any further.
Everyone gathers for her bash, and she charms them with her sweet, innocent persona, which makes Byron feel deeply uncomfortable. He doesn't know how to read her, or whether to tell Max about what she did.
Dex asks her out on a date, but she fobs him off with an excuse about how she's too committed to her studios to be distracted by a boy. Byron overhears, and sees it as another inconsistency in her behaviour.
Ultimately, he decides to keep the attempted kiss a secret, knowing that the truth would hurt Max. Saskia is glad that he's saved her the embarrassment, and as they seem to reach a reset, she flirtatiously shows off her body and suggests that he's missing out.
Rhett comes along to the barbecue as Aaron's plus one, and there's clear chemistry between them both.
Just as things are starting to look up, Colton arrives and clears up Aaron's misconception about him not being interested. Cara isn't impressed to see him there and works double time to prove that Rhett is the right man for her mate.
The competition for Aaron's affections begin to mess with his head, as Rhett and Colton come to loggerheads during a game of volleyball.
He comes to the conclusion that he's going to have to make a choice, and decides to head home to think it over. Nicolette tracks him down and urges him to go back, as in his absence, the two men seem to be taking a liking to each other.

They even snuck off to the bathroom together for an unusually long amount of time.
She's convinced they've moved on, and breaks the bad news to Aaron.
Elsewhere, Karl feels demoralised by the physical therapy sessions he's having to go through so soon after his leg injury. More Trending
Susan is struggling to stay strong for him, and confides in Colton, who suggests that getting her husband back into his old habits might help.
She runs with the advice and takes Karl for a trip to Eirini, and although his mood improves, it seems that the visit has given him fresh inspiration for his future.
He's decided to resign.

Emmerdale's Joe Tate strikes again as much-loved character is in serious danger
Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) finds himself in an usual predicament in Emmerdale – he can't seem to get his own way. Joe is a man used to commanding respect and having those around him kowtowing to his demands, but Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) is infuriatingly refusing to do so.

Before he can, it seems that his adversary one-ups him again. Joe discovers someone has rifled through his things and has stolen his autoimmune suppressant medication. Again, Billy is prime suspect, and Joe relays his concerns and plans to Sam (James Hooton). More Trending Sam suggests he just confront his lover's ex, and Joe takes the groundkeeper's advice, but it badly backfires. Joe instead finds himself humiliated when he confronts him at the depot.

I'm desperate to lose my virginity but have a panic attack whenever I come close
Virginity may be a social construct, but having sex for the first time can still feel like a huge deal. Often, people are nervous the reality of 'losing it' will be disappointing after building it up in their minds as a life-affirming moment. But for this week's reader, it's far more than a case of the butterflies. Despite the fact she wants to sleep with her boyfriend, her anxiety levels spike whenever they're physically intimate — and she's starting to worry it'll never happen. Read the advice below, but don't forget to check out last week's Sex Column too, from a man who dumped his girlfriend for being too 'vanilla' but is now struggling to perform with his adventurous new lover. I've been seeing the same guy for nearly six months, so you'd assume that we'd have had sex by now. Unfortunately, that's not the case, as I am still a virgin and a bit freaked out about the idea of intercourse. I'm a first-year student and met my boyfriend in the university bar. He's in the year above me and also took a gap year, so he's a little older and more experienced than me. From listening to him talk, he's had a few girlfriends and is sexually quite experienced, whereas I went to an all-girls school and have never had a boyfriend before. I was also brought up in a religious household where sex before marriage is frowned upon, so he knows I'm still a virgin and says he's relaxed about it. My boyfriend has admitted that some girls go for it on the first night, so he thinks it's quite amusing that I'm still holding out. He says he's happy to wait until I'm ready, but I wonder whether he'll give in to temptation if it comes along via another girl. Love reading juicy stories like this? Need some tips for how to spice things up in the bedroom? Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! I would like to have sex with him at some point, but every time things get a bit passionate between us, I have an attack of nerves and refuse to go any further. I'm really starting to think there's something wrong with me. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with you. Being a virgin isn't something to be ashamed of, especially if it's just because you've made the decision that you want to lose your virginity to someone special. I'm sure there are lots of other people at your university who are virgins too, and never having had sex doesn't make you a freak. However, if you're feeling conflicted because the decision is based on what you've been taught growing up, you would probably benefit from talking it through with a therapist. Time spent on a one-to-one basis with an expert can unravel all the complex emotions you feel about sex. In particular, counselling can help you resolve the separation between what feels good physically, yet feels bad emotionally. There is clearly more to your relationship than just how you interact in a physical sense, so don't worry about your boyfriend being tempted elsewhere. It's very evident that he wants to be with you for many more reasons than sex. More Trending You've said you would like to have sex with your boyfriend, so just remember that the act of making love is nothing to be afraid of and there's a first time for everyone. Meanwhile, there are many kinds of sexual activity to explore, and you don't have to go the whole way until you're ready for it. Sex can be an expression of love, and if your partner is genuinely understanding and kind, he will take pride in making your first time as special as possible. Waiting a while won't harm your relationship, and a great love life will just add to what you already have together. Laura is a counsellor and columnist. View More » Got a sex and dating dilemma?

90s pop icon admits they lost out on Glastonbury performance for sad reason
Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins has revealed that the group was asked to perform with the Bee Gees at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage but was unable to arrange the logistics in time Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins is one of the most memorable stars of the legendary 90's pop group who took the world by storm with a plethora of hits across the world. But now, it has come to light that there was one part of his pop career that he still holds a level of regret over - and that was missing out on performing at Glastonbury Festival. The group's song Tragedy attracted the attention of the organisers of Glastonbury which led to an invitation to perform at the sought after Pyramid stage. At the time, the hit song sold more than 1.2million copies in the UK. Speaking to Metro, the pop star explained: "The Bee Gees asked us to join them on stage. But it was a really late request, and we literally couldn't get it all together in time." He added: "Of course, some of them have passed away now, so that will never happen again. But that's another little jewel in the Steps crown." But with the group's musical Here and Now, which is set to tour around the UK ending up at London's West End, it seems the prospect of appearing on the bill of the iconic festival is clearly still on the group's mind. Ian continued: "We're the only ones, really, from that era that have all the original members and are still going, so it feels like we've earned our stripes by now." At the time of the height of his career, Ian explained that his sex life was the subject of interest among the media and felt unable to come out as gay. Recalling the moment he followed in the media footsteps of Stephen Gately and Will Young, who were revealed as gay, Ian said he received a phone call he had been desperate to avoid while on holiday. He told the publication: "They knew where I was, who I was with, and why I was there – I had a boyfriend." He added: "Immediately, I flew back from holiday, told my loved ones, told my family, told my parents, and then the next day, they didn't run the story, because I didn't give them quotes. But they threatened me for many years, and I felt like my coming out story was taken from me; my power was taken away, so it was a really emotional, dark time for me." But Ian was not alone. Boyzone star Stephen Gately and N'SYNC's Lance Bass was also struggling with press attention over their sexuality. Ian added: "If the press knew you were gay, it was a really tricky thing to be seen together or to even admit that you were friends with another closeted gay person." He then decided to forge firm friendships with his bandmates and other stars including Britany Spears. Ian continued: "All of her dancers were gay anyway. People thought I was dating Brittany a long time ago, but that obviously wasn't the case – that was strange."
