Neighbours - Romance is budding for Sheila Canning and Russell Brennan as they declare their feelings for each other.

The pair's new relationship will step up a gear in upcoming episodes, but they are met with some reservations from Sheila's grandson Kyle.

While Sheila is full of optimism about her new romance, Kyle is concerned that she is simply setting herself up for a fall and asks a reluctant Mark to find out the truth about his father's intentions.

Russ opens up to Sheila

Although Mark sticks to his word, the conversation is confronting to Russ and he subsequently goes cold on Sheila, leaving her feeling hurt and rejected.

After having some time to reflect, Russ returns to Sheila and decides to be honest about his earlier behaviour. While Russ declares that he can't make promises for the future, he admits that he would like to see where their romance leads.

Sheila is delighted by Russ's honesty and is only too happy to agree, but is she setting herself up for heartbreak?
