Neighbours casts a new love interest for Aaron Brennan
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has cast a new love interest for Aaron Brennan, with a trailer teasing the arrival of new character Logan.
Viewers will know that Aaron tragically lost husband David Tanaka earlier this year after he died in a cliff fall, with Aaron struggling in the months since with substance abuse.
However, a new preview of upcoming episodes suggests things may be turning a corner for Aaron, as he's introduced to Logan (Matthew Backer).

"I can't even imagine what you’ve been through after you lost your partner," Logan tells Aaron as the pair go for a run together.
Backer confirmed his casting in the comments of Neighbours' Instagram post, one fan sharing their delight to see a love interest for Aaron.
"Thanks so much mate!!" he replied, before referencing his link to David actor Takaya Honda after both appearing in Play School: "Aaron clearly has a thing for Play School presenters."
He added in response to another fan: "Ramsey St did welcome me with open arms…followed by a fair bit of suspicion."

The trailer also teases other storylines, including a possible connection between Haz's sister Amira and Nicolette, as well as a first look at the arrival of Byron and Nicolette's father Victor, and a poisoning drama.
Honda previously told Digital Spy that he would love to see his on-screen husband find love again following David's death.
"David loves Aaron too much to want Aaron to live the rest of his life lonely and sad because David's died […] He absolutely wants Aaron to move on," he said.
"I don't know how quickly Aaron should move on, but it is Neighbours so it could be a week or two – I don't know!"
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
