Neighbours airs shocking cliffhanger ahead of tragic death twist

 The horror holiday begins.

Neighbours has aired a huge cliffhanger for David Tanaka and Eden Shaw.

The pair's lives could be hanging in the balance after a dramatic cliff fall in the closing moments of Wednesday's episode.

Neighbours' latest edition focused on David, Leo Tanaka, Aaron Brennan, Nicolette Stone and Krista Sinclair as they headed off for a relaxing holiday in a remote location.

With two villains lurking, the trip soon took a disastrous turn. Alone in the holiday residence, Nicolette was horrified as vengeful Veronica McLain confronted her, still holding a grudge after her split from her husband, Sasha.

Nicolette desperately tried to dismiss Veronica's wild theories that she'd started a secret relationship with Sasha and invited him on the holiday, but she struggled to get through to her.

Meanwhile, Krista and Leo were interrupted by dangerous criminal Eden while on a romantic walk together.

Now out on bail, Eden warned Krista that he knew about her being pregnant with his child. He ominously threatened that he wouldn't let Leo become the baby's father figure.

When Leo stepped in to defend Krista, Eden lashed out, and a massive brawl followed.
