Home and Away is set to air some devastating Justin Morgan scenes in this week's Australian episodes.

As detailed in TV Week, this week's scenes will see him fighting for his life in hospital, but Dr Bree tells Leah that his heart isn't strong enough and it's unlikely that he will pull through.

Justin's family are contacted and asked to come and say their final goodbyes, with Theo trying to cheer Leah up by talking about her plans for the wedding, after she proposed to Justin during the kidnapping.

The police get in contact to try and discuss with Leah what happened, and she at first refuses. But with the kidnappers still at large, she eventually agrees.

When she returns from the police station, she is distraught when she finds Justin isn't where she left him. She is soon told that he was just taken for some scans, but her extreme reaction has proven just how badly this ordeal has shaken her to the core. She breaks down in Alf's arms, crying at the thought of losing Justin forever.

"[The trauma] hits her really hard; she's devastated," Leah actress Ada Nicodemou said. "She can't live without him… she's a complete mess."
