Neighbours has lined up a sinister twist for Taye Obasi in his ongoing escorting storyline.

Taye turned to the line of work earlier this year as he needed more income, with the figure combining his new role with his existing job of running The Piano Bar after overhearing details from Byron Stone.

After Byron left the industry, Taye stepped into his place and became acquainted with one of his former clients, Lydia Hardy. Despite being out of his comfort zone, Taye reasoned that he was left with little choice but to take the money.

What to Read Next

In scenes set to air on Monday and Tuesday (16 and 17 June), Taye decides to retire from his escorting role as he prioritises the management of The Piano Bar, with the figure promptly informing Lydia of his decision.

Despite being offered more money by Lydia to continue his work, Taye isn't swayed and remains committed to leaving for good. Attempting to move on with his life, he heads for lunch with Cara and Remi.

He gets a shock, however, when the pair invite their boss to the catch-up, with the figure turning out to be Lydia. She uses the situation to her advantage, threatening to impact Cara's life if Taye didn't continue his escorting work.

Intimidated by her demands, Taye seeks advice from Byron regarding his experience with Lydia. Things become more ominous as Byron recalls their partnership, with the figure sharing that he had to cut ties with the client due to her intense and manipulative ways.

The walls begin to close in for Taye as Cara reveals that her law exam has been brought forward by Lydia, with the character realising that his client will stop at nothing to get exactly what she wants.

Feeling as if he has no other option, Taye reluctantly makes a deal with Lydia to keep Cara out of harm's way. Now a victim of coercion and blackmail, how will Taye deal with the sinister Lydia?
