Theo tragically died after being hit with a car while saving his girlfriend Lacey from being deliberately run over by Councillor Craig Wendell.

In scenes set to air on Monday, 1 December, Tuesday, 2 December and Wednesday, 3 December on Channel 5, Leah struggles with the fact that Cassandra is blaming her for Theo’s death and won’t allow her to attend the funeral.
Leah’s husband Justin supports Leah, telling her if she can’t go to the funeral, he won’t go either. When Justin suggests grief counseling as an alternative, Leah is quick to shut him down.
Justin supports Leah, who convinces herself that Cassandra is right and she should have done more to stop Theo getting involved with Lacey. Making matters worse, Leah’s memories of her last exchange with Theo only add to her self-blame.
Justin reassures Leah that she did all she could and convinces her to get some rest. While Leah rests, Justin finally breaks and his emotions bubble over as he is hit with his own wave of grief.
