Neighbours, Mark Brennan, Elly Conway

Elly confides in friend Leo about the shock discovery she is pregnant by her one-night stand. But will Leo betray her trust and spill the beans to Mark?

Elly Conway is reeling from the discovery she is pregnant for real. The trouble is, there's no way her husband Mark Brennan can be the baby's father as the couple haven't been physical since he discovered Elly cheated on him.

Which means Elly must be pregnant by the stranger she recently spent a drunken night with...

Elly shares her woes with friend Leo Tanaka. Afraid Mark will reject both her and the baby if the truth comes out, Elly decides to keep her secret.

However, that doesn't sit well with Leo, whose own mum Kim hid the truth that Leo and his twin brother David were the sons of Paul Robinson for over 30 years! With this in mind, will Leo betray Elly's confidence and reveal to Mark the truth about Elly's baby bombshell?
