There are a few certainties in Home and Away: the beach, Alf stomping around looking annoyed, Leah going through far too many traumas for one person to face, and good-looking people popping up from all over the place, probably with some deep, dark secret.
And on that note, there’s a new face looking to be creating some waves (pun intended) in Summer Bay, with hot new cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr Levi, who will be rushing in to save the life of a Summer Bay favourite as of next week.
The announcement from the official Home and Away page was met with great enthusiasm from fans.
He is rather lovely looking I must say,” one happy fan commented.
“Wow. This is so good. I’ve wanted a new doc, looking forward to this,” another said.
Will the new Doc catch Mac’s eye?
In the comments of the announcement, many fans started speculating that maybe the new doc would be a love interest for Mackenzie.
The teasers for the episodes airing next week portray Mac as having a heart attack of some kind. Back To The Bay, a fan blog for Home and Away, revealed in August that a video clip meant to be an audition for a new physician had been leaked online. In it, the doctor consults with Mac following a cardiac attack.
A optimistic fan commented, “Welcome Dr Levi, enjoy your stay and please fall in love with Mac.”
Something like, “Oh hope he’s a new love interest for Mac,” someone commented. “She deserves a good relationship.”
I bet he’s there the save Mac and they fall in love,” another speculated.
Whether Dr Levi is long-term or not, hopefully he can save Mac’s damaged heart — both literally and figuratively.
