Home and Away favourite Leah Patterson-Baker finds herself caught up in a terrifying hostage situation next month.
Leah (Ada Nicodemou) gets dragged into her new friend Jasmine Delaney's dramas when her stalker David strikes in Summer Bay.
Upcoming episodes see unstable David confront Jasmine (Sam Frost) in her caravan, desperate for her to give their relationship another chance.
When David turns threatening as Jasmine isn't responsive to his peace-making efforts, she puts a new plan into action by pretending to go along with his delusions while she figures out what to do.

Jasmine tells David that she'll need to drop off her caravan keys before they leave together, so he accompanies her as she pretends to tie up some loose ends in the Bay.
When a nervous Jasmine hands over the keys to her, Leah realises that she's trapped with her stalker and tries to play for time by inviting them to stay for lunch with her.
Leah seems to have David fooled, but when Alf Stewart's grandson Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) suddenly arrives home, she ushers the schoolboy upstairs to keep him out of harm's way.
As David realises that Leah is onto him, he turns nastier by forcing everyone onto the couch and warning that they're not going anywhere. How will Leah, Ryder and Jasmine get out of this one?

AUST PACE!
Could Leah and Justin be Home and Away’s hottest new couple?
A summer fling takes over Summer Bay!
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...n-couple-54942
As the shock news of Brody and Simone's affair spreads through Summer Bay in Home And Away this week, Justin is caught in the crossfire.
Having kept Brody's secret, Justin is facing a backlash from friends and family, except for one person: Leah.
The gorgeous brunette lends more than a friendly ear to Justin (James Stewart), resulting in an unexpected, steamy kiss!
The drama begins when Justin (James Stewart) and Mason (Orpheus Pledger) spot Brody (Jackson Heywood) and Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) in a tense argument.
Confronting their brother over the situation, they learn the secret of his affair is out. While a shocked Mason tears strips off Brody, Justin lacks any sympathy.
With his family in disarray, Justin takes comfort in the company of Leah (Ada Nicodemou). The friends meet for drinks at Salt and Justin vents his frustration, though he's careful not to reveal too much.
Leah points out that Brody and Mason are adults and that Justin shouldn't feel responsible for fixing their problems.
It proves perfect advice, as Justin realises how hard he's tried to fill his parents' shoes since their tragic deaths.
"We both go out to Salt to help Justin de-stress," Ada, 41, tells TV WEEK, adding with a laugh, "I guess Leah takes her 'de-stressing role' to the next level!"
Soon after, Leah turns up at Justin's door with a surprise day at the beach planned. It proves the perfect pick-me-up for a man weighed down by events.
"She's having a lot of fun and loves the fact that this is so easy," Ada says of Leah.
That is, until, Justin crosses paths with Ziggy's angry father, Ben (Rohan Nichol).
When he refuses to talk to Justin and stalks off, Leah questions the odd exchange.
Downhearted by the run-in, Justin reveals to Leah the true details of Brody's affair. While Leah is shocked, she tries her best to comfort her friend.
Before long, Justin realises the only thing getting him through the day has been Leah. Gripped by a sudden rush of emotion, Justin kisses her!
It seems an unlikely pairing, but when we look back at what Leah and Justin have been through recently, we shouldn't be surprised. Justin has played mediator for sister Tori amid her baby drama and has always been a father figure to his younger siblings.
The endless drama has taken a toll on Justin, but through it all, Leah has been pillar of support. Surely that would stir anyone's emotions.
Home and Away airs Monday to Thursday, 7pm, Channel Seven

Home and Away's Leah Patterson-Baker in new mystery storyline
Worrying scenes have aired in Australia this week.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...tterson-baker/
Note: This article contains Home and Away spoilers from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has kicked off a new mystery storyline, leaving viewers to speculate over the fate of fan favourite Leah Patterson-Baker.
A new plot on air in Australia has seen Leah (Ada Nicodemou) disappear without explanation, arousing concerns for her wellbeing.
Leah was last seen on screen in Australia last Thursday (November 14), when she took a mysterious phone call on her mobile.
The phone rang with no caller ID and fans saw a concerned Leah tell the person on the other end: "Yeah, speaking. Who is this?"
Leah was then absent throughout Monday and Tuesday's episodes (November 18 and 19), but it took her loved ones a while to realise that anything was wrong.
Leah's partner Justin Morgan (James Stewart) was preoccupied with his sister Tori waking from her coma after six weeks. When Leah failed to turn up for work and wasn't seen in any of her usual haunts, many people assumed she was at the hospital with Justin.
Today's closing scenes saw Justin finally alerted to the situation when he took time out from the hospital and headed to the Diner, satisfied that Tori was doing better after finally starting to bond with her baby daughter Grace.
Leah's friend Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) told Justin that she hadn't been seen for 24 hours and wasn't answering any calls.
Wednesday's episode in Australia will see the police alerted to the situation and 'missing' posters begin to be distributed around Summer Bay.
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in February.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's Leah Patterson-Baker mystery leads to sinister online discovery
Is Justin closer to the truth?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ine-discovery/
Note: This article contains spoilers from Australian-pace Home and Away episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has hinted that the truth about Leah Patterson-Baker's disappearance may be found online.
The show has promised to revisit the ongoing Leah mystery in next week's Australian episodes, as a new lead gives her loved ones fresh hope of tracking her down again.
Last year, Leah received a strange phone call from an unknown number and then disappeared without a trace. The scenes, which will air in the UK soon, were broadcast in the build-up to the 2019 Australian season finale.
A new trailer airing on Channel 7 in Australia now shows Leah's loved ones find her picture and name attached to a strange website.
As Leah's worried partner Justin Morgan (James Stewart) searches through the content, he notes that it seems "seriously deranged".
Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) also points out that Leah had previously shut down her online blog, but now appears to be posting again. But is everything as it seems?
In another scene, Justin appears to have uncovered even more information and tells local policeman Colby Thorne: "There's a comments section at the end of the posts. I can reach out, try and interact with the guy."
Does this mean Justin has finally uncovered who's behind Leah's disappearance?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see the Leah mystery begin on Channel 5 later this month.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's biggest mystery: Who's taken Leah?
Justin's search for answers leads to a disturbing discovery.
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...res-leah-62484
While grief has gripped the Morgan family in the wake of Mason and Robbo's untimely deaths, the trauma isn't over for Justin, who continues to search for his missing girlfriend, Leah.
While the Summer Bay locals were occupied with the hostage crisis, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) disappeared without a trace. In three weeks, she's made no phone calls to Justin (James Stewart), no visits… nothing to indicate she's safe.
This week, Maggie (Kestie Morassi) and Roo (Georgie Parker) approach Colby (Tim Franklin) for help. The policeman tries to retrace Leah's steps, starting with her blog. Roo dismisses the idea, claiming Leah shut it down because she found the internet so toxic. However, the trio are taken aback to find the site is still active – and a post has been uploaded that day.
Is it Leah who's posting the comments or is someone else doing it?
The next day, Justin crosses paths with Colby, who tells him about Leah's blog. The comments on it are misogynistic and cruel towards women. Justin knows this isn't coming from Leah, but whoever is writing them must know where she is.
Desperate to find her, Justin begins to write a reply online, but Colby and Tori (Penny McNamee) urge him to stop. They don't want anything to ruin their chances of getting her home safely.
"Tori has to stop Justin from doing anything rash," Penny, 36, tells TV WEEK. "She's worried for him and for her friend, but she has to stop her brother from taking the law into his own hands."
Fed up, Justin heads to the garage to blow off some steam. Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) walks in later to find him struggling to remove a spark plug from a car. In her effort to help, however, the tools slip from Justin's grasp and slices his hand open. The mechanic cries out in pain, before slumping to the floor in tears.
As Ziggy bandages his hand, a downcast Justin consders all he has lost in the past 12 months... and Leah could be next.
Home and Away airs Monday to Thursday, 7pm on Channel Seven.
