Leah has always been a loyal friend, willing to go to any length to protect those she cares about. But this week in Home And Away, her well-meant intervention puts her in a dangerous line of fire.
When Marilyn’s (Emily Symons) secret daughter Heather (Sofia Nolan) is accused of slashing the tyres on John’s (Shane Withington) car, Marilyn decides to take the blame in the hopes it will bring them closer.
When Leah gets home after a busy day to find her home broken into and trashed, she knows it’s Heather’s doing.

“There have been a few instances where something just feels off about her,” Ada, 45, tells TV WEEK.
“But Leah feels bad for Marilyn. She knows she’s carrying a lot of guilt and feels she needs to cover for Heather, but Leah doesn’t like how Heather has let Marilyn take the blame for everything.”
If this is what Heather is willing to do after one conversation, Leah starts to wonder: is Marilyn in danger?
(Image: Seven)While at first Heather is thankful for Marilyn’s “confession”, she’s furious when she notices how forgiving Marilyn’s friends are of her.
Heather’s anger is only made worse when Leah decides to have a stern word with her.
“Leah wants Heather to know she’s on to her, that she knows she’s manipulating her mother and that it’s time to stop,” Ada explains.
As we’ve seen with poor John’s tyres, Heather is capable of making her point. So when Leah gets home after a busy day to find her home broken into and trashed, she knows it’s Heather’s doing.
“It really scares her,” Ada explains. “She realises Heather is unhinged.”
