Young love can be exhilarating, terrifying… and intrusive, as Justin and Leah have discovered this week when their home is swamped by amorous youngsters.
However, in their battle to reclaim their space, Leah and Justin turn on one another!
Theo (Matt Evans) and Chloe (Sam Barrett) decided to give their romance a go in recent episodes of Home And Away. It’s a victory for Theo, who had his life flipped upside down when his controlling father returned to Summer Bay.
He’s finally content.
Matt, 25, tells TV WEEK, “In his eyes, Chloe is the most gorgeous, smartest girl, and he’s had his eye on her from the beginning.”
But, much to the dismay of his aunt, Leah (Ada Nicodemou), and partner Justin, the young lovebirds never seem to leave the house (James Stewart).
Feeling like intruders in their own home, Justin and Leah use lunch to establish boundaries, blaming it all on Leah and insinuating that she doesn’t want Chloe to come over anymore.
When Leah banishes Justin to the sofa that night for throwing her under the bus at lunch, Justin is given his own set of rules. Justin scoffs at her “overreaction” and decides to spend the night at John’s (Shane Withington’s) house.
Leah tries to mend fences the next morning, but Justin digs in his heels. He now expects her to apologise!
Meanwhile, Theo is attempting to impress Chloe’s relatives at the Parata residence.
But his nervous energy takes control, and he falls into the water headfirst! His tumble, on the other hand, acts as the ultimate ice-breaker, and he quickly settles in. Chloe flashes a big smile, indicating her affection.
“Chloe and Theo have built a really wonderful connection since they reconnected,” Sam, 21, says.
Now they simply need to figure out how to assist Justin and Leah…
The next day, Chloe and Theo devise a plan to mend Leah and Justin’s relationship, but neither of them is willing to go through with it – in fact, neither of them wants to be in the same room!
Will another Summer Bay couple fall apart as one finds their footing?
