Neighbours to revisit tragic death storyline in new scenes

 Leo and Krista's connection comes under threat.

Neighbours will revisit the sad death of Britney Barnes in new scenes, as Leo Tanaka's connection with Krista Sinclair takes another turn.

In scenes that will air on Monday, January 15, pregnant Krista is left upset after she overhears Leo making some harsh comments about her parenting capabilities when he rebukes Sadie Rodwell for leaving his young daughter, Abigail, in Krista's care.

Leo is embarrassed when he realises that Krista has heard his remarks and he is soon attempting to mend his friendship with her.

Apologising to Krista, Leo explains his overreaction by telling her about how he tragically lost Abigail's mum, Britney, in the Erinsborough storm disaster in 2022, leaving him ultra-protective of Abigail as a result.

However, when Leo accidentally calls Krista 'Britney', his dad Paul Robinson realises the true nature of their relationship.

Paul suggests that Leo sees Krista as a way to make up for all his failings with Britney - an idea which Leo immediately denies.

Not accepting Leo's protests, Paul soon warns Krista about Leo's feelings, and Krista is left shaken by the idea that Leo may see her as a project, rather than wanting a genuine friendship with her.

Unnerved, Krista turns away from Leo and seeks support from Remi Varga-Murphy instead. Krista admits to Remi that she hasn't been able to eat or drink anything since her drink was spiked at the Lassiters Summer Nights Party, as she's paranoid that it's going to happen again.

Is Leo and Krista's friendship over?
