Neighbours's Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) will admit to friend Sonya Mitchell that he is in love with the mother of his unborn child, Vanessa Villante, it has been revealed.
Sonya then pushes Lucas to tell Vanessa how he feels, but Lucas is reluctant to make a move due to Vanessa's developing relationship with headstrong doctor Rhys Lawson.
Lucas instead decides to prove his love by taking the drastic step of buying a house for the two of them to share.
"Lucas thinks if he can provide a home for their baby, Vanessa will have to move in with him," a show insider told the Daily Star.
"He's totally in love and wants them to be a family once the baby is born."
"However, Rhys is also going to show his commitment to Vanessa in the coming weeks, so Lucas will feel even more isolated," they added.
"He turns to Sonya, who tries to get him to confess all - but he doesn't have the courage."
