Home and Away's Leah Patterson-Baker will end her relationship with Zac MacGuire after she makes a shocking discovery upon her return from hospital.

Viewers know that Leah (Ada Nicodemou) was left in a coma after she was seriously injured in a bus crash earlier in the year.

During that time, Zac (Charlie Clausen) struggled to look after her teenage son VJ and was about to let him move away when Leah woke from her coma.

After Zac decides to be honest with her, Leah is furious that he nearly gave up on her son and tells him to leave.

The dramatic scenes come as part of a big week for Leah, who also has to intervene when Matt Page's drinking gets out of hand.

After Leah finds Matt at the beach, she tells him she is increasingly concerned about his drinking habits as he has been drunk every day since his break-up with Sasha.

As Leah struggles to re-establish herself within her responsibilities, she starts to blame herself for not being on top of things before the bus accident.

Later, having given Zac his marching orders, Leah gets into a huge fight with VJ, which results in her slapping him around the face as she vents her anger.

Clausen told TV Week: "When Leah woke from her coma, Zac was guilt-ridden about what he was about to do. For better or worse, he decides to come clean to Leah and she is understandably upset.

"She thought that he would stick it out. If not for her, then for her son. As for Zac, he can't argue with the fact he was willing to move on and start anew.

"Leah is trying to re-establish what the family unit is and there is still a lot of stuff she needs to work out."

Home and Away's Leah Patterson will be left devastated when she receives a life-changing diagnosis that explains her recent behaviour.

Leah (Ada Nicodemou) has been concerned about her headaches, blurred vision and angry mood swings since returning from hospital, but the true cause of them will leave her feeling more scared than ever.

Leah is told that she has an aneurysm and will need to have surgery straight away - but she leaves her loved ones stunned when she refuses to listen to medical advice.

Zac is particularly shocked by Leah's refusal to have the operation, but the true reason comes to light when she finally opens up to Nate.

Leah tells Nate that she isn't going back to hospital and just wants to be left alone. Will anyone be able to change her mind before it's too late?

Charlie Clausen, who plays Zac, told TV Week: "It's a slap in the face for Zac. He can't understand it. This thing will kill, yet Leah doesn't want surgery."

Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou has promised fans that her character Leah Patterson-Baker will get a happy ending in the long run.

Leah has faced a tough time on screen recently after being left in a coma following the bus accident, and Australian viewers have recently seen her problems continue upon being released from hospital.

However, Nicodemou has hinted that there are happier times ahead for Leah once she gets over the upcoming hurdles.

Speaking to Yahoo TV, she said: "I think for the next month or so, you are going to see Leah struggle a lot. Leah is usually so together and positive and that is what the audience love about her, but this is a very raw side to her.

"But after all this stuff, there is a lot of happiness that comes. I think that fans really want Leah to be happy and find love - the happy ever after story - and they are going to get that."

In scenes yet to be aired in the UK, Leah will wake up from her coma to discover that her boyfriend Zac was planning to give up hope on her and her teenage son VJ.

Nicodemou said: "Zac finally decided that he needed to move on with his life and then she woke up. That was really hard for Leah to deal with.

"It's understandable what he was going through but that is a hard week for her."

Home and Away's Leah Patterson-Baker will go missing in an upcoming storyline, as her health issues reach crisis point.

Leah (Ada Nicodemou) is suffering from an aneurysm but her refusal to have treatment is having a devastating effect on her loved ones, as well as her own life.

The final straw comes for Leah when Zac tells her she needs to take a step back from work to focus on her health, TV Week reports.

Leah's condition has had a considerable effect on her behaviour, as she has started snapping at the students and has been unable to control her emotions.

Devastated by the most recent turn of events, Leah storms out of the school and when she doesn't return home later that day, a concerned VJ and Matt raise the alarm.

As the community rallies round to try to find a vulnerable Leah, the search takes a turn for the worst when Alf discovers her abandoned car by the side of the road.

Fears increase as Leah's phone is inside the car but she is nowhere to be found. Will Leah be found safe?

Also ahead on Summer Bay, Leah Patterson-Baker's strange behaviour will become a serious cause of concern to those closest to her.

Leah (Ada Nicodemou) has been acting unusually since returning from hospital, but her problems will escalate in upcoming scenes as she lashes out at both her son VJ and her friend Irene Roberts.

After hitting VJ, a distressed Leah breaks down on the beach, but it becomes apparent that something is very wrong with her as she has a terrible headache and is seeing double.

Later, Irene (Lynne McGranger) finds a dazed Leah frantically cleaning at The Diner, but when a worried Irene attempts to talk to her friend about her concerns, Leah gets defensive and lashes out once again.

When Irene brings her home, Zac takes the opportunity to confide in Irene that Leah hit VJ and they are all very worried about her.

Leah subsequently tries to make amends for her actions by apologising to everyone she has lashed out at, but will she accept that she needs help?

Home and Away favourite Leah Patterson-Baker will face new turmoil when a shock fire rages through her home.

The Summer Bay residence goes up in flames in mysterious circumstances, leaving lives hanging in the balance.

Leah and her family are lucky enough to be outside of the house when the fire starts. However, a terrifying situation unfolds once she learns that Matt Page and Oscar MacGuire might be trapped inside as they were due to have a study session when the blaze took hold.

Leah's partner Zac immediately springs into action when it becomes clear that the teens could be in danger, rushing into the burning building to rescue them.

Charlie Clausen, who plays Zac, told TV Week: "It's a complete shock to see their house on fire. But the real concern is when they realise Matt and Oscar might be inside."

He added: "There is no time to wait. If the guys are in there, then every second counts. I don't think he could live with himself if he just stood there and the boys were inside."

Zac soon realises that Matt and Oscar are indeed trapped in the house, but the situation looks bleak as he loses consciousness himself when the blaze leads to a big explosion.

Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Seven in Australia and in September on Channel 5 in the UK.

Also ahead in the Bay, Leah Patterson-Baker does a disappearing act after her family and friends start to put pressure on her to get medical help.

Leah (Ada Nicodemou) has refused to go for surgery after being diagnosed with an aneurysm, but Zac and VJ's attempts to respect her wishes are severely tested when she continues to behave in a worrying manner.

The issues faced by Leah come to a head when she is asked to give a careers talk at the school and loses control by snapping at Maddy Osborne in response to an innocent question.

Zac responds to the situation by telling Leah that she will have to take a step back from work unless she seeks help, but she reacts badly to this and storms off.

Later, when Leah doesn't return home, Zac and Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) decide to form a search party to look for her. Alf is concerned to discover Leah's car abandoned on the side of the road, especially when he sees that her phone has also been left in the car...
