“Neighbours” Ends With A Gay Throuple Twist And A Sexed-Up Yoga Class!
A bold final storyline shakes up Ramsay Street before the curtain call…
Ramsay Street is no stranger to drama, but Neighbours is making sure its last lap doesn’t go quietly. In a move no one saw coming, the long-running soap opera has taken a final plot twist: a gay love triangle that skips the angst and leans into messy, joyful chaos.
At the centre is Aaron Brennan, played by Matt Wilson, who first appeared in Neighbours back in 2015 and fronted DNA’s cover in DNA #192. Still grieving the loss of his husband, David, Aaron finds himself caught between not one, but two former flames—Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire) and Colton Keys (Jakob Ambrose), both of whom are back and ready to reclaim his heart.
Love, loss and lycra
The reunion doesn’t start with a dinner or a quiet drink. It starts in a yoga class. Aaron, trying to keep the peace (and maybe test the waters), invites both men to a session that quickly turns competitive. Asana meets alpha energy, and things heat up without anyone even touching a candle. The mat becomes a stage for side-eyes, subtle flexes, and a tug-of-love too entertaining to ignore.
It’s ridiculous in the best way, and viewers loved it.
No rules, just real
Instead of choosing one, Aaron does what many wouldn’t dare: he dates both. With some encouragement from his close friend Nicolette Stone (played by Hannah Monson), Aaron embraces the mess and gives open-hearted dating a go. And for once, the show doesn’t treat queerness as a heavy-handed lesson. It feels lived-in, a little silly, and refreshingly confident.
“It’s so confidently queer while being funny and playful,” Liam Maguire told Yahoo Lifestyle, adding that it all works because the characters are fully comfortable in their skin. Jakob Ambrose echoed that joy, saying the writing allowed them to portray queer characters in a “fun, messy, playful, honest way.”
It’s not tidy, and that’s the point.
Let the gays be a little chaotic
What’s made this storyline hit harder than any final goodbye is its honesty. It doesn’t smooth over grief or jealousy, and it doesn’t serve romance as an after-school special. Instead, it gives us something better: gay men being vulnerable, flirtatious, and flawed, without apology.
Ambrose put it best: “It’s important that all our colours are seen on screen—the happy family, but also the messiness it sometimes takes to get there.”
And audiences are here for it. Social media lit up with fan wars, with hashtags like #TeamRhett, #TeamColton, and, naturally, #TeamThrouple.
The end is near, but not without a final gasp
Neighbours will wrap for good this December after a decades-long run. The announcement dropped back in February, and while the nostalgia is real, this storyline feels like a worthy send-off. It’s funny, warm, a little spicy, and proudly LGBTQIA+ without needing to make a statement about it.
Aaron’s final choice might still be up in the air, but one thing’s clear: the series is bowing out with heart, humour, and just the right amount of chaos.
