A beach holiday in Neighbours turns catastrophic when an uninvited guest shows up to ambush Krista, resulting in a violent attack on David and Leo that leaves one of the brawlers with life-threatening injuries.
Krista (Majella Davis) and Eden (Costa D’Angelo) have a tumultuous past, after Eden faked Krista’s death, keeping her drugged up and locked away with him until recently when she was discovered by police after a dramatic search, and he was imprisoned for his crime.
With him locked up, Krista has been able to explore her romantic connection with charming businessman and neighbour Leo (Tim Kano) and was looking forward to that connection deepening on their first holiday away together with friends David (Takaya Honda), Aaron (Matt Wilson) and Nicolette (Hannah Monson).
That is, until Eden pops up unexpectedly.
“When Eden comes to the holiday house, it catches Krista completely off guard,” Majella tells TV WEEK. “She’s wrapped up in her love bubble with Leo, so seeing her abusive ex is the last thing on her mind.”
Krista is pregnant with Eden’s unborn child, which she has been keeping secret from him to protect the baby from his criminal antics. Has he found out?
“Krista had no idea Eden was out on bail,” Majella says. “Which is why seeing him is so surprising and terrifying. Who bailed him out and how does he know they’re out here?”
When Leo and Krista take a stroll on their holiday, Eden pounces, and when things get heated between the former couple, Leo steps in to defend her, causing a dramatic brawl.
“Although Krista isn’t a damsel, I think she’s grateful Leo, Aaron and David are there,” Majella says. “She also feels a sense of guilt that they’ve been dragged into her mess.”
Thankfully, Aaron and David are nearby – but when they try to intervene in the frenetic skirmish, Eden and Leo roll off a steep embankment. Who will survive the fall?
