Neighbours' Toadie to make a big decision over Melanie

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours lawyer Toadie Rebecchi reaches out to support his ex-wife Melanie Pearson next week.

The Ramsay Street favourite has taken on a harsh attitude towards Melanie since her return to Erinsborough, but he's about to change his stance for the sake of his daughter Nell.

Last week, Melanie confessed that she was responsible for the 'death' of Krista Sinclair by pushing her into the rooftop pool at Lassiters.

Melanie was held on remand after speaking to the police about the incident, but she has since found out that Krista survived. This has opened up the possibility of Melanie escaping serious charges.

Next week, Melanie goes in for another police interview but doesn't bring her lawyer with her.

Nell is visibly concerned about this, worried that her stepmum doesn't have all the support she needs.

When the schoolgirl raises the issue with Toadie, he initially shows little sympathy for Melanie's predicament.

Later though, Toadie crosses paths with Melanie by chance and is pleased when she respectfully offers to attend one of Nell's upcoming therapy sessions.

Toadie can't help softening towards Melanie, seeing how much she still genuinely cares about Nell's welfare.

Before long, Toadie calls in a favour and arranges for Melanie's case to be reassigned to one of the best legal aid lawyers in Melbourne.

Toadie's friend Andrew Rodwell quizzes him over this, wondering whether it means he still has unresolved feelings for Melanie.

Although Toadie denies this and insists that he's only acting in Nell's best interests, is there more to it?
