When David tried to intervene, Richie accidentally shot his boss in the stomach<\/a>, leaving his life hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

In this week’s episodes that air in Australia, David remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital, with his daughters Lacey and Jo remaining by his side.<\/p>\n

Richie is racked with guilt over the whole ordeal, as well as the prospect of his impending police hearing to learn what will happen to him next.<\/p>\n

After speaking to his girlfriend, Abigail Fowler, Richie decides to visit David in hospital, but the conversation brings up the immense trauma of the shooting for David, whose condition deteriorates.<\/p>\n

The following day, Richie has to face his hearing, having an emotional conversation with Abigail beforehand in which he tells her he needs some space and ends their relationship.<\/p>\n

Opening up about the storyline, David actor Jeremy Lindsay Taylor spoke about the importance of showing that shootings occur in Australia.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Who<\/a>, he said: “You have to look after yourself, you work with the stunt coordinator, you work with the director, and the cameras, and there are great stunt people on set.<\/p>\n

“You also have to be careful with bringing up trauma for viewers, as a scene like this can raise a lot of past trauma for them.”
