Neighbours kicks off feud for two Ramsay Street families

 Tensions run high.

Neighbours has launched a new feud for the Varga-Murphy and Rodwell families.

The clans went head-to-head in the closing moments of Wednesday's episode as JJ's secretive behaviour began to cause fireworks.

Viewers know that JJ suspects Andrew Rodwell is his biological father, although he has only shared this theory with his younger brother Dex so far.

In the latest Neighbours, JJ continued to sneak around the Rodwell family home after swiping a spare key.

JJ's hope of establishing a connection between himself and Andrew was seemingly achieved when he managed to find an interesting photograph in a Rodwell family album.

Unfortunately, JJ's detective work didn't go entirely unnoticed as Sadie returned home and caught him snooping.

JJ made the excuse that he'd come over to borrow some milk. While this seemed unusual, JJ cleverly pointed out that Sadie's mum Wendy had a similar relaxed attitude to trespassing, having paid an uninvited visit to Number 24 earlier while everyone was out.

Sadie thought nothing more of JJ's visit, but feared the worst when Wendy's watch mysteriously went missing from the Rodwell house.

With the Rodwells mistakenly assuming that JJ was responsible, a dramatic showdown followed on Ramsay Street as they bitterly clashed with the Varga-Murphys.

Wendy, Andrew and Sadie all pointed the finger, but Cara and Remi defended JJ after he protested his innocence.

As things got out of hand, it was left to Remi to drop the bombshell that they'd all be seeing much more of each other, announcing: "We're not going anywhere. We're your new neighbours."

Can the two families find a way to make peace, or are worse tensions still to come when JJ's true agenda is inevitably revealed?
