Beachside Labor: Mother Gives Birth with Husband’s Support

It’s up to Heath to save the day when pregnant ex-lover Jess goes into labour on the beach!

Neighbours‘ Doug Willis pays a visit to Ramsay Street later this month, but it soon becomes apparent that not everyone is pleased to see him.

It was previously announced that actor Terence Donovan would reprise his role as Doug for a guest stint that will see him come and stay with son Brad (Kip Gamblin).

As Doug is greeted by Brad, Imogen and Josh, who are all thrilled to see him, it is clear that Terese is feeling awkward about his arrival.

 

It soon becomes evident that there is tension between the two based on Terese’s belief that Brad’s parents always preferred his ex-wife Beth.

Terese tries to put her unhappiness to one side and is pleased when Doug offers to teach Josh some of his skills as a builder.

Viewers will know that Josh has been struggling to cope since an abseiling accident ended his swimming career ambitions.

Doug is determined to help Josh with a different career direction now that his swimming dreams are over. Will his visit leave Josh with new hope?

 

Jess’s arrival has caused numerous problems with Heath’s wife Bianca (Lisa Gormley), who has struggled to come to terms with the revelation that he is having a baby with another woman.

After Jess goes into labour on the beach, Heath calls Nate Cooper for help and the pair of them deliver the baby, who is named Harley.

As he holds his baby for the first time, Heath is clearly overwhelmed with emotion as he and Jess bond over their son.

Meanwhile, Bianca is unaware of the events taking place and is stewing over the ultimatum that she gave Heath – it is her or the baby.

Having not heard from Heath, she assumes he has made his decision and tries to call him, but he is distracted helping Jess.

As Jess and Harley prepare to head off to the hospital, Heath realises he should contact Bianca to let her know what is going on.

However, he is unaware that Bianca has seen him happily holding the baby with Jess and is devastated…
