Cancer secret revealed
Angus is devastated to learn the truth about his mum’s health crisis.
Erinsborough teen Angus is left reeling this week in Neighbours when he finds out why his mother really left town.
Sarah (Nicola Charles) asked the Kennedy family to look after Angus (Jai Waetford) while she travelled to Germany for cancer treatment.
Keen to spare her young son any worry, Sarah decided not to tell him about her diagnosis.
The truth slips out when fellow teen Xanthe (Lilly Van der Meer) blurts out the real reason she and Ben (Felix Mallard) are always so nice to Angus.
It’s because they both know his mother is ill. Angus is devastated that no-one had told him the truth.
“He’s angry and upset,” Jai, 17, tells TV Week. “He had no idea of the reason she’d left to go to Germany - he’s been unaware of everything.”
Feeling let down by those around him, Angus seeks out Susan (Jackie Woodburne) to confirm whether what he’s heard is true.
Susan does her best to explain Sarah’s reasoning for not telling him. Her soothing words do little to help the distressed youngester.
Angus is also mad that the Kennedys weren’t honest with him either.
Susan has been the one Angus gets along with the most,” Jai explains. “He’s confided in her.”
“She’s always had a soft spot for him and he didn’t know why until now.”
Feeling betrayed by the adults in his life, Angus makes a rash decision - he’s going to leave town.
Will the runaway manage to flee Erinsborough before anyone finds him?
