This is the call Justin (James Stewart) has been waiting for – his beloved sister Tori (Penny McNamee), who is still in a coma after suffering a major stroke several weeks back, will be transferred from the city to Summer Bay’s Northern Districts hospital.
Watch: Tori's baby is on the way.
“This suddenly puts Justin in a world of hope,” says James. “It’s really quite heightened, as he will do absolutely anything he can
for his sister.
“He was starting to feel that everyone was almost giving up on her – that they were walking away and doing everything for themselves. He really has been fighting a lot of odds.”
At the same time, Justin can’t help being extremely anxious. What if the journey back to the Bay proves too much for critically ill Tori?
“The thought of moving Tori home is a really happy one for Justin, but the actual transfer itself in an ambulance is terribly high-stakes,” confirms James.
Indeed, when Jasmine (Sam Frost) finds out about Tori’s impending transfer, the young nurse tells Robbo (Jake Ryan) that if Tori were a member of her family, she would never give her consent to the move, as it comes with a huge risk, Jasmine reveals to a now deeply concerned Robbo.
Does Jasmine have good reason to fear the worst?
