Article from 'Soap World' magazine re the upcoming siege storyline:
SPOILER ALERT!
Shots at the bar!
The evil Renshaws lash out at Paul and Leo, leading to gunfire at the pub and a hostage siege at the cafe!
Cruelly reminded of his sinister past life in Sydney, Leo's now scrambling to deal with the consequences as he commits to breaking up with Terese to romance the diabolical Delaney Renshaw, the love-starved daughter of the underworld kingpin he helped send to prison years ago. However, Terese isn't about to accept her lover's desertion lying down - unaware her actions will unleash a nightmare...
Speculating that Delaney must be the keeper of dangerous secrets, and carefully quizzing her, Terese decides to surreptitiously dig through her personal belongings. Caught in the act by the outraged victim, Terese is temporarily thwarted - until Paul's reactions triggers new fears. Unaware that Delaney's blackmailing Paul over murdering the Renshaws' operative Mannix last year, Terese steps up to prove her latest theory. Confronted with the "fact" that Leo loves and has chosen Delaney over her, Terese backs off... until an act of extreme violence erupts in The Waterhole!
Just free from prison, Delaney's father Raymond (Frank Magree) and Uncle Ivan (Michael Shanahan) are now on the warpath in Melbourne - wanting payback on Leo for his betrayal in Sydney. Incurring the men's wrath for falling in love with Leo, Delaney is helpless to stop Raymond from sending Ivan to the pub, brandishing a gun. Once in The Waterhole, Ivan works the crowded bar, finally targeting Leo - who rushes him! Spying the weapon, Terese instinctively tackles the gunman to protect the man she loves! Gunshots ring out and Terese takes one for the team! Pandemonium breaks out and while Terese fights for her life, Ivan vanishes into the night - with Mark in hot pursuit.
Left to cower in terror, the pub patrons follow Elly and Yashvi's instructions to seek refuge at Harold's Cafe until the gunman can be nabbed. Unfortunately, she unwittingly invites Raymond, who's trying to flee the complex, to join them. Barricaded inside, everyone's distraught when Yashvi recognises Raymond from a social media alert, prompting the renegade to pull a gun and hold everyone - including Chloe and Kirsha - hostage. In the ensuing melee, more gunshots ring out from inside the eatery, leaving the terrified onlookers to wonder if Terese will live or die and if anyone else has been shot by the bandits!
