News reaches Ramsay Street and it isn't good: Lucas has been in an accident. Libby, Steph, Karl and Toadie race to his bedside and are told that he has suffered spinal injuries. The atmosphere is very tense as they wait to find out how serious his injuries are. The police reveal that the crash was caused because Lucas was speeding as he tried to run from them. Libby and Toadie are shocked and upset by Lucas's recklessness but Steph feels responsible and leaves the hospital, unable to handle her guilt. When Lucas wakes up and asks for Steph, Libby tries to get her to go back to the hospital, but Steph refuses. It's only when Lyn takes Steph to church that she feels ready to face Lucas. Andrew makes himself at home in Erinsborough – much to Donna’s horror. She is terrified that he will reveal their guilty secret, but Andrew insists that he is only there to get to know Paul better and has no intention of staying long term. However, when Andrew makes a point of befriending Ringo, Donna’s fears resurface. Can Andrew be trusted? Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk's weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
