Neighbours confirms details of school siege plot

From Digital Spy

Neighbours spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

Neighbours has revealed the full details of its forthcoming and shocking school siege storyline.

TV Soap reports the Australian soap will feature a school siege in coming episodes as a dramatic conclusion to Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) and Levi's (Richie Morris) investigation into illicit drugs in the area.

The siege begins when Yashvi finally uncovers the secret school drug dealer after being suspended by corrupt superior Dax Braddock (Dean Kirkright) over the assault of River (Andrew Coshan), in which she actually played no part.

Instead, Dax himself was responsible for River's beating. He's also responsible for the siege which could put a lot of Ramsey Street residents in jeopardy.

After a suspended Yashvi successfully identifies the Erinsborough High dealer, Dax loses his temper and tasers Yashvi in a school corridor — ordering her to do what he says just as Susan descends the stairs from an upper floor, sparking a hostage situation.

Also present are Richie and Mackenzie who are soon drawn into the drama, with Dax threatening to shoot Susan if anyone tries to escape.

During the siege, Mackenzie collapses and falls gravely ill.

Still recovering from her gender confirmation surgery, the youngster goes into cardiac arrest, leaving Susan to perform CPR under Karl's instruction.

Seeing it as a chance to flee, the other hostages make a break for it.

However, as the siege spills out into the hallways, Paul and Harlow end up in the line of fire — and Dax chases them down with a baton.

Can Yashvi save the day yet again? Or will anyone else get hurt?

Neighbours airs weekdays on Channel 5 in the UK.
