Next week on Home and Away in the UK, it’s finally time for Levi to face the music, as he reveals to wife Imogen that he’s been having an affair.
Cardiothoracic surgeon Levi (Tristan Gorey) embarked on an illicit relationship with former patient Mackenzie (Emily Weir) after he’d saved her life following a heart attack, despite revealing to Mac that he was already married.
Their relationship wasn’t made easier by the fact that he discovered that estranged sister Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) lived nearby, and as the two have reconnected over the past few months, Levi has struggled to keep his secret romance under wraps on his regular visits from the city.
Eden’s presence in Summer Bay has had an upside for Levi though. After wife Imogen (Georgia Blizzard) became worried about Levi overworking himself, as he claimed to be constantly seeing patients in the Northern Districts during his absences, he has now been able to say that he’s reconnecting with his sister—a far more excusable reason.
What Levi hadn’t been banking on was Eden deciding to pay him a surprise visit at his city home, eager to meet her sister-in-law for the first time.
With both women being given different reasons for his extended visits to the bay, Levi had to think on his feet. He quickly warned Eden that Imogen hadn’t approved of his ‘working away’ so much, hence why she thinks they’ve been spending time together.
Eden went along with Levi’s little white lie, not realising that she had been dragged into his affair cover up. Mackenzie and Levi haven’t been exactly helping themselves however. A quick snog in public view outside the surf club was very nearly witnessed by Alf (Ray Meagher), and their uncontrollable lust saw the pair share another kiss in the parklands last week… just as Eden arrived on the scene.
Eden was devastated to learn the truth about what her brother had been up to. Not only has she become besties with Imogen in the past few weeks, but in her eyes it’s proven that Levi is no better than their father, whose affair during her teenage years had caused Eden and Levi’s estrangement in the first place.
Both Levi and Mackenzie subsequently faced anger from Eden, as well as Felicity (Jacqui Purvis), who found business partner Mac to be hypocritical following her lectures about the failure of her own marriage to Tane (Ethan Browne).
