Neighbours' Andrew Rodwell to face questions over flirty encounter

 Max and Holly step in.

Neighbours cop Andrew Rodwell is mortified next week as he realises that a glamorous Erinsborough newcomer is trying to tempt him.

Andrew receives a gentle warning from his neighbours when he seems oblivious to new character Sandra flirting up a storm.

The awkward situation unfolds at Andrew's self-defence class, which has become popular among the local community in recent weeks.

Sandra is one of the most dedicated members of the group – but it's not just Andrew's expertise that she's interested in…

"Andrew is flattered when Sandra lavishes praise on him for the work he's been doing to boost everyone's confidence," our Neighbours source explains.

"In Andrew's eyes, Sandra's kind words seem innocent enough – but Max and Holly are cringing over her attempts to create a romantic vibe between them."

After Max and Holly alert a clueless Andrew to what's really going on, he realises that he needs to take action before this situation gets out of hand.

Andrew awkwardly informs Sandra that he's a happily married man, so nothing could ever happen between them. Sandra is mortified to have misread the signals.

The mix-up unfolds as Andrew's wife Wendy reaches a crossroads in her career.

When Wendy carries out some casual teaching work at Erinsborough High, filling in for a regular member of staff, she holds out hope that it could lead to a permanent position.

Although Wendy's guest visit is a success, Jane Harris breaks the bad news to her that there isn't a permanent job on the table at the moment.

Wendy tries to stay positive and rightly so, as another opportunity soon comes her way. The only problem is that it's a permanent teaching post back in Murrayville.

"Wendy has only just come back from an extended stay in Murrayville and it's taken time to get her marriage back on track since then," our insider reminds us.

"Wendy heading back would raise the possibility of more long-distance challenges for her and Andrew – or him having to sacrifice his job and move with her.

"Although Andrew tells Sandra that his relationship with Wendy is a happy one, this could be the exact opposite of the vibe that's about to develop between them…"
