Neighbours airs one of its biggest episodes of the year on UK screens later this month as the teens are at the centre of a terrifying car crash. The drama plays out on Andrew Robinson's (Jordan Smith) birthday, when he is on the way to a concert with Chris Pappas, Tash Williams, Summer Hoyland and Ed Lee.
