Is having a baby after 35 really something to worry about, or could it actually be a sign of living longer?

This week, Steph and Holly are talking biological clocks, geriatric pregnancies and why turning 35 might not be as scary as we've been led to believe.

Then, the Neighbours have some serious dilemmas. A mum admits she doesn't enjoy motherhood, a $4 apple pie destroys a six-year friendship, and a toxic ex threatens to undo months of healing.

Plus, one Neighbour is questioning her sexuality after developing feelings for another woman, another is terrified her new boyfriend will discover her webbed toes, and a pregnant woman may be in danger because of her partner's behaviour.

And just when you think things can't get any more unhinged, a terrifying story about a broken-down lift takes a seriously dark turn.

From motherhood and messy friendships to sexuality, insecurities and a few very questionable confessions, it's another week in the neighbourhood!
