Irene Roberts (played by Lynne McGranger) is becoming increasingly worried about her unexplained memory lapses on Home and Away (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings)

And this hasn't gone unnoticed by Irene's nurse lodger, Dana Matheson (Ally Harris).

Dana questions friend John Palmer (Shane Withington) about whether there's something going on with Irene.

But John plays down Dana's concerns, not wanting to betray Irene's confidence.

On today's episode of the Aussie soap, John accompanies Irene to Northern Districts Hospital for a private chat with doctor Bree Cameron (Juliet Godwin).

Bree offers to do some medical tests to find out more.

But when the results of a spinal tap procedure come back, Irene is left reeling from the news that this could indicate a potential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease...
