'Neighbours' star Valentina Novakovic wants Natasha romance plot

Neighbours star Valentina Novakovic has revealed that she would like to see a new romance storyline unfold for her character Natasha Williams next year.

Tash's love life has always been rocky during her time on Ramsay Street as Andrew Robinson (Jordan Smith) cheated on her with Summer Hoyland (Jordy Lucas), while older guy Ivan DeMarco embroiled her in a raunchy photograph scandal.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Novakovic confessed that she would now like Tash to have an easier time with men.

Asked what she hopes 2012 will bring for Tash, the actress replied: "It would be nice for Tash to meet a boy, she hasn't had a lot of luck in that department so far - and definitely more outrageous behaviour, it's great fun to play."

Tash's current storyline explores the mystery surrounding her late mother, and next week's episodes on Channel 5 see the student discover exactly how Helena died.

However, Novakovic has now confirmed that the plot will continue into 2012 with more surprises in store.

She said: "There is a lot more to come and you will have to wait until next year, but it's worth the wait. Just when one piece of the puzzle is revealed, there is another piece and then another."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 6.30pm on Eleven in Australia.
