00:02Someone has used my images to catfish Sandra.
00:04Your biological family?
00:06Guess this just made me curious.
00:10Well, we haven't finished.
00:11The only thing that we're going to achieve is making each other feel even worse than before.
00:17Keep your enemies close.
00:19It's going to be a lot easier to catch him out that way.
00:21So I was wondering if you could give me some more of those natural supplements.
00:24She died because of me.
00:26The trust will be administered by...
00:28I'm Miss Sadie Rodwell.
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59You can find the perfect plan
01:02You can find the perfect plan
01:06Sadie gets control of Nana's will.
01:08No, they met a month ago.
01:09She really didn't leave anything for her family?
01:12Nothing for her grandchildren?
01:14Um, she left just one thing.
01:17To my darling family I leave my love.
01:23Which is more than they gave me while I was alive.
01:25Are you serious?
01:27That's hard.
01:29Hey, maybe we should leave anything for this.
01:31Did you know about this?
01:32No, no, no, I promise.
01:34I mean, I'm just as shocked as you guys are.
01:36It's alright Sadie.
01:38We're not blaming you.
01:39Well, we all suspected she had dementia.
01:40Now we know.
01:41When was the will made?
01:42About two years ago.
01:44Well, hang on.
01:45How can Sadie even be included?
01:47The appointment of Sadie as trustee is a recent amendment.
01:50Other than that, nothing's been changed.
01:55Thanks for lunch.
01:57It's a pleasure.
01:58I missed this.
01:59The three of us.
02:00I'll just take this out the back.
02:03I get the feeling there's something you want to say.
02:14Try and see this from my point of view.
02:16Carl has accused you of some very serious things.
02:19And like I told you, that's his addiction talkie.
02:22Even so, it's very difficult to just sweep it under a rug.
02:25Well Carl and I have put it behind us.
02:27Hopefully you can too.
02:31Hey Holly.
02:33Thanks for lunch.
02:43It is so weird him just dropping by as if nothing happened.
02:46What did your dad say to you about this?
02:48Just that he still doesn't trust Darcy but he's moving past it.
02:54Do you think there's more going on?
02:56As long as your dad is on top of his health, that's all that matters.
03:05I promised Wendy I'd take over the condolence book.
03:09I won't be long.
03:10I don't get it.
03:11If Sadie has control of all of Nana's money, why can't she just give it to us?
03:18It's not that simple.
03:19There's instructions about where the money is meant to go.
03:21Fine.
03:22We give a small amount to the scholarship and then the rest of it goes to our family.
03:26Is that allowed?
03:27There might be some wriggle room, legally speaking.
03:30But Sadie would need to be on board.
03:32Why wouldn't she be?
03:33Look, I can go through it all tonight.
03:34Okay, good idea.
03:35We should also do a full audit of Nana's finances.
03:37Make sure there's nothing else we don't know about.
03:40Yeah, absolutely.
03:41Don't worry, Mum.
03:42We've got this.
03:43You're dealing with enough.
03:45Wow.
03:46Thank you for everything, Russell.
03:48I'll see you out.
03:50Again, my condolences to your family.
03:56Look, hopefully you just need to sign a few documents and then you'll never have to think about this again.
04:00Right.
04:04It was such a lovely service.
04:07Everyone loved your portrait.
04:08I think Amanda would have loved it too.
04:17Oh, I'm sorry.
04:18I was listening.
04:20It's okay.
04:21I know you and Andrew have got a bit going on at the moment.
04:27I thought he was having an affair when he wasn't.
04:31Trust in a marriage doesn't always come easily.
04:33Sometimes you have to work at it.
04:34Yeah, but he did nothing wrong.
04:38He was just being friendly to Sandra, yet I jumped to the worst possible conclusion.
04:43Why do you think you did that?
04:46Andrew's a handsome man in a uniform.
04:52Double trouble, right?
04:54And I know women respond to him, but this time it just got under my skin.
05:02Just not as secure as I used to be.
05:04Oh, Susan, I'm so sorry. I haven't even asked about you and Carl. I heard some talk about Darcy.
05:13Uh, yeah, um, things have settled down a bit.
05:18Well, that's, that's good, isn't it?
05:20Should be.
05:22I don't know, it all just feels...
05:25unresolved.
05:26You must have that memorised by now.
05:44Mm-hmm.
05:47Thinking about your biological family again?
05:53Can't get it out of my mind.
05:57Just using this as a distraction.
06:00Understandable.
06:03Understandable.
06:12What can I do to make things right?
06:17I don't know.
06:19I've already said I'm sorry.
06:22I just need some time.
06:25Wait, you really didn't know Amanda was gonna do that?
06:27She already said she didn't.
06:29I'm just as shocked as everyone else.
06:30Wait, what did Amanda do?
06:44Hey, hi.
06:46Oh, hey.
07:00Alright, I'm just gonna say it.
07:02It is so weird that you're giving Darcy the time of day.
07:06I'm just trying to keep things professional.
07:08Susan still works with him.
07:10You said he planted drugs on you.
07:12Dad, he's been shafting you all along.
07:14None of which I can prove.
07:16Just trying to make things as easy as possible.
07:19I might just freshen up before we head over to Jane's.
07:21I'll meet you there.
07:22I want to finish these veggies.
07:23Okay.
07:31Alright, what's really going on?
07:33I just told you.
07:35There is no way that you're buddy-buddy with Darcy again.
07:38Alright.
07:40I'm resisting saying any more until I've got proof of my suspicions.
07:42Good.
07:44So you haven't given up.
07:47What's your next move?
07:49I'm keeping an eye on Darcy.
07:51I find all this business with Amanda very disconcerting.
07:54What do you mean?
07:55Well, he spent a lot of time with her before she passed.
07:58At one stage I suspected he was after her money.
08:01Well, he's missed out on that jackpot.
08:04She left Sadie in charge of everything.
08:07Darcy isn't benefitting at all.
08:11There you go.
08:15Thanks for inviting me over.
08:17It's been a tough day.
08:20I'm just checking in.
08:23Yeah.
08:25I had no idea that you had been named in Amanda's will.
08:29Yeah, me neither.
08:31Byron's trying to find a legal way around.
08:34He's talking about an audit of her finances.
08:38It's a lot.
08:40Huh.
08:43You know, maybe I should just step aside.
08:48I think Amanda's final wishes should be respected.
08:50She gave you this responsibility for a reason.
08:55Do you really want to let it down?
09:01Knock-knock!
09:02Come in.
09:03Hey, just me.
09:04Oh, sorry.
09:05Didn't mean to interrupt.
09:07Hi, no.
09:08Fine.
09:09I was about to head off anyway.
09:10I just thought you might like some of these.
09:11We can't pass to eat them all.
09:14Oh, cool.
09:15I'll just put them in the kitchen then and let you finish up.
09:18Hey.
09:19Um, just remember that you're protecting Amanda's legacy.
09:24You can't let other people's agendas get in the way of that.
09:28Even if they're her family.
09:30You know?
09:32I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
09:33Yeah.
09:35Thanks for listening.
09:36Yeah.
09:38So, I hear Amanda has left Sadie to manage her finances.
09:42Yeah, yeah.
09:43Poor thing.
09:44She's caught in a fallout.
09:45Oh.
09:46Mm-hmm.
09:47So, is that why you're really here, Carl?
09:49No.
09:50No.
09:52Sadie has been through so much already and now she's stuck in the middle of a family dispute.
10:08Yeah, I'm sure she'll be able to handle it.
10:10So, do you think that you are a long lost Ramsay Robinson?
10:27Well, strange things have happened on this street.
10:31Thanks.
10:35What do you think is really driving this interest behind your biological family?
10:38Mmm.
10:39Um.
10:41I think it's been building up without me realising it.
10:45I mean, JJ reconnecting with Felix, that was the start.
10:49Chelsea with Thomas and recently, um, Jane with Amanda.
10:54Made me realise how precious time is.
10:57I mean, are my birth parents even still alive?
11:02But you know some things about them, don't you?
11:04Well, Gran said they're from Sandy Point.
11:07Mm-hmm.
11:08And my biological dad was in the Navy.
11:13Well, that's enough information if you want to pursue it.
11:18Maybe.
11:19Who knows?
11:21Are they even still together?
11:22So, what is holding you back?
11:26What?
11:27Your family?
11:29I think Mum and Dad would be really supportive.
11:32But they're away.
11:33I don't really want to bother them with all this stuff.
11:36That sounds like a convenient excuse to avoid a difficult conversation.
11:41Yeah.
11:43So, what is the real reason?
11:47Honestly?
11:50It's all a bit scary.
11:52What if they don't like me?
11:57What if I don't like them?
12:00What if they aren't good people?
12:03Yeah, but you're not going to know that unless you find them.
12:06If they aren't, I think I'd rather have been under the wiser.
12:15Does that make sense?
12:18Yeah.
12:19You're protecting your heart.
12:21That makes complete sense.
12:28A beauty scholarship?
12:30Yeah.
12:32Yeah.
12:33All very bizarre.
12:36And just one final slap in the face from Mum.
12:40I had no idea that Amanda and Sadie were so close.
12:43Well, we're all still trying to get our heads around it.
12:46There's a lot of unanswered questions, aren't there?
12:50I mean, Amanda accused you of trying to put her in a home.
12:54And then she backed out of the Dandenong's excursion,
12:57yet on the same afternoon she went on her own.
12:59I guess she was feeling sentimental after all.
13:02Well, was she when she was so angry with you?
13:05And why did she turn on you?
13:07I thought you were on much better terms.
13:09Well, I'm just saying, there's a lot about Amanda's death
13:11that doesn't make sense.
13:13Okay.
13:18Yeah, sorry, Jane.
13:21What were you trying to achieve?
13:24I was just commenting on the logic of it all.
13:27Amanda was not of sound mind.
13:30We may never know why she went to the Dandenongs that day.
13:33Okay.
13:35Okay?
13:37I am finding you very hard to read at the moment.
13:40I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be enigmatic.
13:42What exactly is going through your head?
13:47Does it have anything to do with Darcy?
13:50He did spend a lot of time with Amanda.
13:52He was desperate for investors.
13:54Yes, but Sadie is Amanda's trustee, not Darcy.
13:57I know.
13:58Look, I am sorry if I have Sid, Jane.
14:03Hey, Sades.
14:05Hey, uh, can we talk?
14:06Yeah, sure.
14:07I think it's time we talk anyway.
14:08So we've gone through the will.
14:09Okay.
14:10And, uh, all the money needs to go to the trust, and the trust can allocate the funds into the scholarship.
14:13Yeah, but it just has to be a token amount, and then the rest can go to Mon.
14:14Exactly.
14:18That scholarship was important to Amanda.
14:31Oh, come on.
14:32Well, all of that money going towards TAFE fees for random fashion and beauty students, Nana clearly wasn't thinking straight.
14:38I take it they're filling you in?
14:40They're filling you in.
14:41Yeah.
14:42I just don't understand how you can get around what Amanda wanted.
14:45It's complicated legal stuff.
14:47Super worrying.
14:48Well Sadie might want to hear it.
14:50I'm sure she doesn't.
14:51Anyway, all you have to do is allocate either me or Nick as a joint trustee and then we
14:55can take it from there.
14:56Yeah.
14:57Let us deal with this scholarship situation.
14:58Yeah.
14:59Look, I can bring some paperwork by you later on if that works for you.
15:01I know.
15:02It doesn't.
15:03Still need time to think about it.
15:10So, what do you mean you need more time?
15:20I mean time to think about Amanda's wishes.
15:23And we will honour them.
15:25You said something about a token amount?
15:27Yep, that'll be enough.
15:29I mean, how many makeup artists does the world need?
15:32Amanda hurt Mum so much over the years, the least she could do is look after her now.
15:35And she was trying to make it right with us before she died, so I think she would be
15:38okay with this.
15:39Amanda is trying to give people the chance to live out the dream that she never could.
15:43Don't you think that's important?
15:45Dream?
15:46Come on.
15:47She never got to go to beauty school.
15:51Okay?
15:52Her mother dismissed her.
15:54Kind of like how you're dismissing me now.
15:56Okay, I think we're getting off track here.
15:58It's simple.
15:59Okay, Nana was mad at us so she made you trustee but it wasn't fair.
16:03Have you ever thought maybe she knew what she was doing with her money?
16:06It's that simple.
16:07Okay.
16:08Sadie, why don't you just meet us halfway?
16:11This is actually getting ridiculous.
16:13Mum, can you please chime in?
16:15No, I'm not getting involved.
16:17What?
16:18Why not?
16:19Because Sadie is right.
16:22Maybe Mum knew exactly what she was doing.
16:25But it's possible.
16:26So what have you two got planned for the day?
16:36Ah, we might hang out by the pool.
16:38Ah.
16:39Yeah, sounds good.
16:40Great.
16:41Hello.
16:42Hello.
16:43Hey.
16:44Hey.
16:45We left this last night.
16:47Ah, yes.
16:48Thank you, Darcy.
16:49Were you at Darcy's last night?
16:51Yes, I took him some veggies.
16:53Just before I went to James.
16:55Ah.
16:56Shall we head to work together?
16:58Yeah.
16:59Yeah, sure.
17:00Sure.
17:01Oh.
17:02Bye, love.
17:03Bye.
17:10Hey, why don't I meet you at yours?
17:12Uh, yeah.
17:13Don't get your cousin.
17:14Great.
17:16See you, Carl.
17:17Yeah, yeah.
17:18See you.
17:26What are you up to?
17:27I know you weren't just on a veggie run last night.
17:29I told you I'm keeping a close eye on Darcy.
17:37Why are you searching Dr Anthony Hallsworth?
17:40Well, Tess Bell told me that Dr Hallsworth and Darcy were in business together, so I thought
17:45it might be time to give the good doctor a call.
17:48Hmm.
17:59Oh, Jane.
18:00Jane.
18:01I'm so sorry.
18:02I couldn't make the memorial yesterday.
18:04Oh, no, Wendy, don't be.
18:05I knew that you had to work.
18:06And anyway, that beautiful portrait more than made up for it.
18:11As for all this business with the well.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Well, please know that I do not blame Sadie for any of it.
18:19Although Byron and Nicolette don't feel the same way, so it could get messy.
18:25Well, messy fits for the theme of our house lately.
18:29Andrew still hasn't forgiven you?
18:31No, he's trying.
18:33Which gives me hope.
18:36Amanda's passing really had an impact on him, interestingly.
18:40Oh?
18:41In what way?
18:42He's just started to get curious about his biological parents.
18:45Oh.
18:46Well, that's a positive thing.
18:50Isn't it?
18:52Well, he says he only wants to find them if they're good people,
18:55and if not, then he would rather not know.
18:58Right.
18:59But I can see he doesn't want to get hurt, too.
19:01Especially, you know, after recent events.
19:05It could end up being a wonderful thing,
19:08depending on who these people are.
19:10Hmm.
19:13Hey, maybe there's a way to get answers without him, you know,
19:16getting his hopes up.
19:26Busy day at the office?
19:27Oh.
19:28I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
19:29No, no.
19:30Um, do you want a coffee?
19:31Yeah, thanks.
19:35Oh, look.
19:36All's well that ends well with the catfisher, eh?
19:40Too soon, Nick.
19:42Anywho.
19:43Uh, Sadie, she's not budging on Nana's will.
19:46Can one of you talk to her?
19:48Well, she'll come to us if she needs help.
19:50No, she needs to see sense.
19:52This whole scholarship thing is ridiculous.
19:54Well, I've spoken to Jane and she's happy to live with Sadie,
19:57so, you know, we're not going to intervene.
19:59Seriously?
20:01Sorry, Nicolette, but we're going to back our daughter 100%.
20:04Well, good for you for sticking to your guts.
20:10Thanks, I'm just trying to honour Amanda's wishes.
20:13Yeah, but I do kind of get where Nick and Byron are coming from.
20:16Like, they're just looking out for their mum.
20:18Hey, guys.
20:19Hey.
20:20Hey, um.
20:21Hey, Saints, can we talk?
20:25Right.
20:26Um, look, I spoke to Russell and he told me that before Nana amended the will,
20:35she actually named me as a trustee.
20:37So?
20:38So she trusts you to do the right thing?
20:41Exactly.
20:42I think it's got to count for something, right?
20:44Well, she still changed her will and named me trustee.
20:47Sadie, I can't keep arguing the same point here.
20:49I just think that I'm a better fit to take care of this.
20:52Why?
20:53I don't know.
20:54Maybe the fact that I'm family, I understand the law
20:56and I'm better qualified.
20:58So that's how it is.
21:00What, you just think I'm some bimbo who does make-up and works at a spa?
21:03No, not.
21:04Sadie, this is about denying my mother her inheritance.
21:06I don't think it is.
21:07Okay, guys, why don't we just take a breath?
21:09Why don't you just make me co-trustee?
21:10No!
21:11Because I'm not going to be bullied by you and treated like I'm beneath you.
21:14Okay?
21:15I'm going to honour Amanda's wishes.
21:16End of story.
21:23Coming up on Neighbours.
21:24We've decided to look for Andrew's biological parents.
21:27People know he's in two minds.
21:29Anthony, what the hell are you doing here?
21:31There's a name Carl Kennedy ring a bell.
21:33We're going to have to formally contest the world.
21:35Damn straight.
21:36He's still so fixated.
21:38Chelsea, you abandoned him.
21:40Sorry.
21:41Go.
21:42гражд hands.
21:43The Mamrie has dated him.
