Home and Away spoilers: Raffy Morrison is bullied over her epilepsy
After Leah and Brody's latest website video, news of Raffy's epilepsy spreads causing the teenager to have another seizure...
Brody Morgan and Leah Patterson thought they were raising awareness with their website video revealing Brody's younger sister Raffy Morrison has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy.
But when Raffy ventures out in public for the first time since her accident, and realises everyone is talking about her both in person and online, she feels taken advantage of by her friends and family who have 'outed' her.
Shaken by some of the nasty online comments, an emotional Raffy runs off to be by herself. But the teenager is suddenly struck by another seizure. Will her worried friends and family find her in time?
Meanwhile, Chelsea Campbell clashes with her policeman dad Neil when he unexpectedly visits town to confront his daughter over her engagement to former River Boy turned policeman Colby Thorne. Chelsea really wants her dad's blessing. But it doesn't look like she's going to get it!
Wondering if he can work his charm, Colby meets Neil for a man-to-man talk. But how will Colby react when Neil turns nasty and threatens to ruin his police career unless he breaks-up with Chelsea?
Elsewhere, Maggie Astoni continues to push herself with a tough exercise regime in preparation for her mountain climbing challenge to raise money for cancer research.
But will she take kindly to her teenage daughter Coco's suggestion that she find a less demanding challenge to take on? Or is Maggie's mind set on conquering mountains?
