The much-anticipated September reboot of the Australian soap Neighbours hints at troubled waters for Guy Pearce's character, Mike Young, after he reconciles with Jane Harris, played by Annie Jones.
Pearce reprised his role for the show's "final" episodes on RTÉ and Channel 5 in 2022 as fans saw him reunite with his former on-screen flame.
Now, he has returned to Ramsay Street for the revival of Neighbours, which debuts on 18 September on Prime Video in Ireland.
A new official trailer released on Tuesday suggests an unfavourable storyline for Pearce's character, a fan favourite.
Jane is seen telling Mike in the woods: "I have been keeping something from you."
The soap, which has followed the lives of those living and working in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough since 1985, was dropped by Channel 5 after failing to secure new funding, but its return was revealed late last year with a social media clip featuring some of the show's most recognisable characters being told the news.
The new trailer also teases a wedding, with church bells ringing out and a wedding car seen approaching as the residents gather for the big day.
Wedding guest Lucy Robinson (Melissa Bell) asks her brother Paul (Stefan Dennis): "Not having second thoughts about today, are you?"
It comes after Paul is seen asking staff about newcomer Reece Sinclair, played by The OC's Mischa Barton, who is getting together with Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux), saying: "I want you to find out exactly what she's been doing since she's been here."
Later, Lucy asks: "Why would she not make her presence known?" to which Paul responds: "Because she is a spy."
Alan Fletcher, who plays Karl Kennedy, and his on-screen wife Susan, portrayed by Jackie Woodburne, also appear in the teaser for the new chapter of the long-running soap.
"A lot has happened in the last two years," Susan says.
She later adds: "I'm worried about what I'll say, I'm worried that there'll be no coming back from it."
Other series stars include Ryan Moloney (Toadie Rebecchi), April Rose Pengilly (Chloe Brennan) and Georgie Stone (Mackenzie Hargreaves).
Australia's Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new chapter of the series, and the show will also air on Amazon's free ad-supported streaming service Amazon Freevee in the UK and US.
