Filming tonight’s gripping Home and Away storyline development, in which an extremely anxious Tori returns to the hospital with Robbo by her side for a repeat 20-week ultrasound, wasn’t taken lightly by the characters’ portrayers Penny McNamee and Jake Ryan.

Watch a sneak peek of tonight's episode here...

“Scenes like this you have to treat with a lot of respect and take them seriously,” says Jake, adding, “and not just because Penny was pregnant [in real life] at the time.

“It’s such a precious thing – life – and there are so many people who have miscarriages or problems [with pregnancy]. I think everyone is just subconsciously aware when we’re doing stuff like that on set.

“It can be a pretty touching storyline for people, and we knew we had a responsibility to tell something with a lot of heart.”
