Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours is set to confirm a new love interest for Aaron Brennan.
Fans will remember Aaron tragically lost husband David Tanaka earlier this year, and his grief was later compounded after being cruelly pranked with a deep-fake call appearing to be from David.
In new scenes airing on the soap next week, however, it appears new love may be on the way for Aaron after meeting real estate agent Rhett Norman – who appeared earlier this year as part of the Sonya’s Nursery storyline.

The new scenes begin as Aaron and Byron plan the male revue at Lassiters, and Aaron tries to pin Byron’s act down as he pushes him to show off his skills.
Byron struggles to come up with anything, though does remember a high-flying act he performed for a client while as a male escort.
However, later in the week disaster strikes as Aaron takes a fall while practising some moves. He desperately tries to hide the injury as he knows the boylesque show will fall apart without him, and claims to everyone that he has stubbed his toe.

Yet Byron sees through Aaron’s lies, as Aaron admits that the injury will likely take a while to recover from. As a solution, Byron suggests that they turn his solo routine into a double act and he will do the difficult moves himself.
The preparations continue further on in the week, as Leo desperately tries to find a final performer so that he doesn’t have to take to the stage.
Leo and Aaron then turn to Rhett, who agrees to do it as Aaron will be teaching him the choreography.

Leo suggests that Rhett’s interest around Aaron could be evidence of romantic attraction, though Aaron dismisses it.
Yet while rehearsing later on, it appears that Leo’s hunch was right.
Could something deeper be on the horizon for Aaron and Rhett?
