Given Alexandra was rocking a middle parting just a week ago, it's possible that her new haircut may hint at a time jump towards the end of the season. However, this is purely speculation and it could just be that Mel decides to change up her look at some point during the series.

Filming for season five began in July and is scheduled to wrap on 10 November, according to Devdiscourse

Fans can look forward to drama-filled episodes, which should land on Netflix sometime next year. Teasing a major plotline in an exclusive interview with HELLO! in September, Annette O'Toole said: "There is a big thing that happens right in the middle of the season that brings the community together in a very big way. 

"It's a kind of timely topic that's happening in our country and I'm really glad that they're going there. I don't think we've ever done anything like this. It's an important issue and I'm glad that we're getting into things like that on the show.
