When no-one can understand what you’re going through, who do you turn too? For Leah, it’s a new friend from the mental health clinic, who arrives in town this week with needed advice – and a secret.
Who do you turn to when no one else can relate to what you’re going through? This week, a new acquaintance from the mental health clinic comes to town with counsel that Leah needs and a secret that she is keeping hidden.
Since coming home from her rehabilitation stay, Ada Nicodemou’s character Leah in the movie Home and Away has had difficulty getting her life back on track.
A struggling Leah is taking a walk to keep her mind clear when Valerie (Courtney Clarke), a new acquaintance she made while they were both working at the clinic, shows up in the Bay.
Having learned of Leah’s struggles and seeing that she needs support from someone who can relate to her delicate mental state, Valerie has set out to assist.
“She was Leah’s roommate and best friend in the clinic, so she really relies on her for support in a way others can’t,” Ada says.
Valerie persuades Leah to ask Justin to supper on the off chance. Justin is filled with anticipation after receiving the invitation, and he excitedly awaits the evening at the Diner. But will Leah be present?
Courtney, who recently appeared in Paper Dolls and Last King of The Cross, says newcomer Valerie will bring a new energy to the Bay.
“Valerie dresses in a very strong way and certainly isn’t of the Summer Bay mentality,” she hints. “I was quite intrigued by her and thought she would be a great challenge to play.”
