Neighbours' JJ in terrible danger as gang storyline intensifies

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours teen JJ Varga-Murphy faces danger at Erinsborough High next week as the show's gang storyline continues.

JJ is targeted by Slade Westall following his recent brave attempts to stand up to the new villain in town.

Slade was introduced to the soap last month when he and a group of friends terrorised Melanie Pearson after using a dating app to lure her into a trap.

More recent episodes have revealed that Slade and his cronies are responsible for a spate of graffiti, vandalism and other anti-social behaviour around the Lassiters complex.

JJ stepped in to confront Slade when he spotted him up to no good in Monday's episode (February 19), but it appeared that he may have made a dangerous enemy.

Next week, JJ puts on a brave face as he doesn't want his younger brother Dex to know that he's afraid of Slade.

Slade soon shows up at Erinsborough High, forcing JJ to realise that the threats against him are very real.

Later, JJ and Dex walk to the complex and they're confronted by Slade and his gang yet again.

Show bosses have confirmed that JJ finds himself in "a whole world of trouble" – will this latest showdown have a violent end?

Earlier this week, Aaron Brennan had a separate showdown with Slade after discovering that he'd spitefully vandalised the Drinks Divas van on Ramsay Street.

Slade and his accomplices defaced the images of Melanie and David Tanaka on the vehicle, just days after David's tragic death.

Aaron went on the attack when he caught up with Slade, but police sergeant Andrew Rodwell was nearby and stepped in to pull him away.

Neighbours airs JJ's gang danger on Tuesday, February 27.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
