Neighbours Spoilers – Byron heartbroken as Reece breaks up with him

Next week on Neighbours, Byron is left devastated when Reece ends their relationship, leading to a heated moment between him and Mackenzie.

Less than two weeks ago, Reece Sinclair (Mischa Barton) returned to the US to be with her father Conrad Sinclair, after he suffered a stroke.

Reece – whose family recently bought a stake in the Lassiters hotel – had been in Erinsborough searching for her sista Krista (Majella Davis), who reappeared during the show’s Flashback Week.

While in Erinsborough, Reece fell for the hotel’s then-bellboy, Byron (Xavier Molyneux), and the pair began a whirlwind romance.

While they both confessed their love for one another, Reece admitted to Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) that she wasn’t sure when she’d be returning to Erinsborough, setting alarm bells ringing that perhaps she wasn’t as invested in the new relationship as Byron was.

Byron has been struggling to get hold of Reece since she returned to the US, but next week he’s thrilled when he finally prepares to book a trip overseas to visit her.

Mackenzie (Georgie Stone), however, is doubtful of the pair’s relationship, worried that Byron’s feelings may not be reciprocated.

She’s not sure whether to voice her fears, but decides to do just that when Byron suggests that he’s planning a long-term stay in the States.

Byron is annoyed when Mackenzie suggests that he and Reece may not be on the same page, and dismisses her concerns.

Yet very shortly after, Mac is proved correct. Byron receives a star chain necklace from Reece – a breakup present, confirming that they’re over.

Later that day, at the Lassiters Christmas Fair, Byron and Mackenzie lean on each other for support, leading to a charged moment between them.

Mackenzie struggles at the festive event when she sees Haz (Shiv Palekar) and Holly (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) loved up in matching Christmas jumpers, and her jealousy grows.

Mac had a crush on Haz ever since he moved to Erinsborough, but hasn’t been able to tell him how she feels.

After believing that she was finally ready to begin dating again, Mackenzie was crushed when her first potential suitor turned out to be Holly’s ex-boyfriend Eden Shaw (Costa D’Angelo), who was trying to get close to anyone he believed had money.

Swearing off dating once again, Mackenzie decided to give Haz and Holly her blessing, but seeing them together is proving more painful than she anticipated.
