"This is what Robbo's been so scared about all along," says Jake.
"Tragedy just seems to follow him wherever he goes."
Indeed, both Tori and Robbo are shell-shocked by this latest development, with Robbo taking off from the hospital leaving his fianceé Jasmine (Sam Frost) fearing that he's once again done a runner from the Bay.
"When you run away and leave the girls high and dry like Robbo’s done in the past, you can’t blame Jas for thinking this,” says Jake.
