“Leah is really excited about meeting Ava,” says Ada of Summer Bay’s next big plotline.
“Leah’s a mum and has always got on well with kids, so she thinks it will go really well. She also knows how much Justin adores Ava, so it’s very important to her that she meets her. Leah loves Justin, so why wouldn’t she love his child?”
While Leah is hopeful that she and Ava will get along like a house on fire, will Ava be so keen to welcome her dad’s new flame into the family?
“Leah does become a little bit nervous behind the scenes as they’re preparing for Justin to collect Ava,” says Ada.
“She knows that this meeting is a big deal and wants it to go very well.”
Throughout the meeting Ava makes her feelings for her father’s new love interest abundantly clear – but will the youngster welcome Leah with open arms, or will the day end in tears?
“Ava is just worried that Leah is going to be another one of the many girlfriends that her father has introduced to her,” says Ada.
“Most of all, Ava wants attention and stability from her dad.”
What will Leah do if the meeting doesn’t go well?
