He might have had his heart broken by Ricky Sharpe, but Home and Away's Nate Cooper could be about to find love again as he grows close to newcomer Tori Morgan.
Australian viewers have already been introduced to Tori - who has joined Summer Bay hospital as a new doctor - and she'll set tongues wagging by striking up a very close bond with Nate.
Upcoming scenes will see Nate left crestfallen when his marriage to Ricky falls apart and he will struggle to move forward in the wake of her and baby Casey's departure.
To make matters worse, the rumour mill at the hospital has gone into overdrive - with his colleagues speculating that Tori was the reason for his marriage breakdown.

Although Nate bravely puts them straight - insisting that Ricky left him because of issues in their relationship - it puts a strain on his developing friendship with Tori, who is equally mortified by the suggestions.
However, Tori will later risk her reputation when she turns up at Nate's with a bottle of wine, determined to offer him a shoulder to cry on. Could there be a spark here after all? And if so, is Nate really ready to move on so soon?
Kyle Pryor, who plays Nate, told TV Week: "Tori is someone he can really talk to. It's a nice escape for him. He values that, considering what he's gone through."
