Neighbours' Paul Robinson faces a big decision in Shane Ramsay return plot

 Paul has some serious thinking to do...

A classic Robinson-Ramsay blackjack game takes place in Neighbours next week, but Paul is left with a huge decision to make by the time it finishes.

But when Paul suggests to Shane that they have a game for old times' sake while discussing Shane's plans to buy into the hotel, he has no idea that things are about to go in a very unexpected direction for him.

Shane has been learning how much Paul has changed over the years and the idea of going into business with him has been appealing less and less.

When Shane speaks to Tim Collins, he learns a lot more about Paul's shady history and decides that investing as a partner would be an unwise move.

As a counteroffer, Shane, who knows that Paul is in dire need of a cash injection after agreeing to the settlement with Terese, changes the deal and says that rather than becoming partners, he now wants to buy out Paul completely.

As Paul takes in the shocking news, he soon works out that he may not have a leg to stand on. Seeing how down his dad is about the notion of losing Lassiters, Leo decides to try and cheer him up.
