Fans will know that VJ struggled to come to terms with losing custody of Luc, and went off the rails a few weeks ago.
However, scenes airing on Friday July 14 show he’s moving on with his life, as he wakes up in bed with a one night stand from Salt.
When they get talking, VJ tries to let her down easy – but she assures him there’s no need, it was fun.
The girl, known as Rebecca, runs into a bemused Alf on the balcony, calmly introducing herself before setting off.
An embarrassed VJ follows her out – and Alf drops by the diner to tell Leah about what VJ’s been up to.
VJ assures Leah it wasn’t anything serious, and then delivers her a shock – he’s decided to give up on custody of Luc.
Leah is worried – won’t VJ regret turning his back on Luc? What if it hurts her when she’s older, and realises VJ didn’t fight for her?
However, VJ says that Billie just wanted Luc to have a better life than she ever did – and she will get that with Ash and Kat.
Leah thinks Ash has manipulated VJ, and storms to the diner to have it out with Ash.
But Ash argues that VJ just wants to be a teenager again, and Alf has to break up the argument.
Marilyn and Alf listen to Leah vent, and suggest that VJ has been through a lot – he has his whole life ahead of him, so maybe she should listen to what he wants.
Leah finds VJ at Billie’s post and lets him know that she will stand by his decision.
Then she goes to visit Ash at the apartment, and says she’ll never forgive him for manipulating a teenage boy into giving up his child…
