Neighbours' Mackenzie Hargreaves to hide her grief for Hendrix Greyson

 Friends and family fail to notice how much she's struggling.

Neighbours' Mackenzie Hargreaves misses out on the support she needs next week as she hides how much she's struggling following Hendrix Greyson's death.

Mackenzie was recently left devastated as her husband Hendrix tragically passed away just a few days after their fairytale wedding ceremony.

In next week's episodes on Channel 5, everyone is surprised by how well Mackenzie appears to be handling her grief.

Mackenzie graciously accepts a letter from her neighbour Sadie Rodwell, who blames herself for Hendrix's death.

Sadie and her friend Aubrey Laing were responsible for starting the Erinsborough High fire that triggered Hendrix's pre-existing health issues.

Mackenzie also concentrates her own efforts on supporting those around her, who are also struggling with the loss of Hendrix.

Once alone, however, Mackenzie secretly destroys the letter from Sadie and lets her pain out. It's clear that she's not coping as well as everyone thinks.

Later in the week, Mackenzie attends a grief group and gets a glimpse into the hurt that other Erinsborough residents are still feeling after Hendrix's death.

This weighs heavily on Mackenzie, but when she speaks about how she's coping, her father Grant is impressed that she seems strong.

However, with Mackenzie continuing to bury her own pain, can this fragile situation really last for much longer?

Georgie Stone, who plays Mackenzie, recently spoke to  about how her character's grief storyline will play out in the final weeks of Neighbours.

She told us: "I'm very protective of Mackenzie. I love her and I want her to be okay.

"I think in telling stories about grief, we need to acknowledge and show people that there is hope afterwards and your life doesn't end with this loss.

"I think it would be a disservice to this wonderful trans character, who has meant so much to so many people, to have her end in this really dark, devastating place."

Georgie continued: "We have to service the story and we can't sweep her grief under the carpet. I didn't want that and I made sure that wasn't the case.

"But we also have a responsibility not to depress our audience too much. Also, I didn't know how long I could take it – I was so exhausted from all the emotional storylines and I didn't know if I could take it for much longer! There needs to be some hope."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 and streams on My5. In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach and streams on 10 Play.
