Levi Canning of Neighbours will be put in a tough situation next week when his mother Evelyn Farlow turns up suddenly on Ramsay Street.
Last week, Digital Spy discovered that actress and singer Paula Arundell has been cast in the part of Evelyn, with her first scenes set to broadcast in Australia next week as she visits her son for a two-week visit.
Levi (Richie Morris) and Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton) have lately been having a lot of fun in their open relationship, with he and Amy enjoying a polyamorous affair with Ned Willis (Ben Hall) after strong feelings emerged between her and both men after a time of casual dating.
When Evelyn arrives in Erinsborough, however, Levi feels compelled to put his love situation on hold, according to TV Week.
Because Levi and Ned have previously been competitive when it comes to impressing Amy, Levi is concerned that if he takes a step back, Ned will use the chance to swoop in and oust him from the three-way arrangement.
Will Levi tell his mother about his love relationship to keep things on track, and how will she react if he does?
Could Levi have a similar problem with his mother now that Levi’s grandma Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) has expressed her displeasure of Levi’s dating situation?
Amy’s actress Jacinta has already expressed her pride in being a part of the polyamory narrative, stating that it’s vital to “always strive to portray actual close relationships in our culture.”
“Polyamory is definitely a component of it,” she explained. “The more we portray humanity’s amazing diversity and uniqueness, the more individuals will feel welcomed and seen.”
