Neighbours star Viva Bianca has revealed details about the future of her character Chelsea Murphy.

The character, who is the sister of Cara Varga-Murphy, made her first appearance in Erinsborough this month, with intentions to make a permanent move to the area.

However, the newcomer has ulterior motives, with a mysterious interest in Paul Robinson – who she tries to pitch a business idea to.

In scenes that will air this week, Chelsea’s plans will become a bit clearer, and she tries to ask Paul on a date after purposely dressing like his ex-wife Terese.

In a video posted on the soap’s Instagram, actress Bianca spilled on what is to come with her character and what progress she is able to make with the businessman.

"The thing about Chelsea is she’s always got something else kind of ticking," she said. "And in this instance, it turns out things aren’t quite as they seem. Let’s just say she’s a really effective manipulator, and she does somewhat work her way into Paul Robinson’s good books."

Bianca also revealed that Chelsea will be in Ramsay Street for more than just a flying visit, with her scheming set to unfold over this year.

She said: "Chelsea sticks around for a while and has quite a bit of business to tend to, and is determined to do so. So you’ll be seeing a fair bit of me over the next few months."

The actress was also full of praise for her co-star and legendary actor Stefan Dennis, who has played Paul since the very first episode of Neighbours back in 1985.

She said: "I grew up obviously as an Australian kid, watching Neighbours, and knew Paul Robinson very well. And now I’m on set, going head to head with Paul Robinson and working with Stefan almost every day.

"And he’s honestly one of my favourite people now. Like not just on Ramsay Street, but like one of my favourite people in the world."
