Neighbours hunk Aaron Brennan arrives at his wedding in a wheelchair next week – much to the shock of his husband-to-be David Tanaka.
Aaron (Matt Wilson) is already in agony after suffering a back injury earlier this month, but disaster strikes when he hurts himself even further on the day of the ceremony.
The gym boss is unable to walk as a result of his latest mishap, but he’s still determined to get down the aisle and ends up being supported by his siblings Mark and Chloe.
In another last-minute hitch, an eccentric new celebrant called Jemima Davies-Smythe oversees the proceedings as a replacement for Susan Kennedy.
Jemima’s unique style means that the day isn’t quite what Aaron and David (Takaya Honda) had been expecting, but she certainly gets everyone laughing as the wedding goes ahead in romantic scenes.
Show bosses previously announced the casting of Australian actress and LGBTQ+ rights activist Magda Szubanski in the role of Jemima, who’s also the long-lost half-sister of Karl Kennedy.
Neighbours‘ executive producer Jason Herbison recently told Digital Spy: “It’s a fantastic episode and the first same-sex wedding on Australian TV since marriage equality was legalised, so it was very meaningful to all of us on the production.
“We love ‘Daaron’ and it was an extra special treat to cast Magda Szubanski as the celebrant, as she was a big campaigner for marriage equality over here.
“It was filmed on a pretty cold and miserable Melbourne day, but everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces. Our art department created a fantastic setting, Chris Adshead did a wonderful job of directing and Paul Gartside wrote a terrific script.”
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, September 3 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
