Home and Away's Leah to face a furious backlash as her betrayal is exposed

 Theo learns the truth.

Home and Away's Leah Patterson is set to face a furious backlash in upcoming scenes, as her betrayal is exposed.

After River Boys gang leader Gage Reynolds put Theo Poulos in hospital for sleeping with his girlfriend Lacey Miller, Leah coldly ordered Lacey to stay away from her nephew.

Her reasoning was that she just wanted to keep Theo safe, but he won't see it that way.

In scenes airing next week, Remi Carter and Levi Fowler are worried that Theo isn't focusing on his recovery because he's too busy worrying about Lacey.

Levi tells him that his condition is severe and he must do his rehabilitation exercises, but he's refusing. Since Lacey hasn't been in touch, she must be in danger, Theo concludes.

Leah feels guilty, so she goes to the hospital and tells Theo that there's nothing suspicious about Lacey not visiting him, and admits the truth.

Theo is furious, and even when Lacey eventually speaks to him and insists that they need to be apart (as she is being moved to a new safe house), he still blames Leah.

After Leah and Justin Morgan are ordered to leave the hospital by Theo, the duo fall out over how they've each handled the situation.

Leah accuses Justin of being too soft on Theo, and for helping him build the car that crushed him, while Justin accuses her of not treating Theo like a grown-up. They end up both storming out of the Diner.

"Theo refuses to have anything more to do with Leah after her interference in his love life," our Home and Away source shares. "He's sick of Leah treating him like a child when he's a grown adult.

"It's clear that everyone involved will need some time to cool off if Leah's family life will ever be the same..."
