Stronger than ever, Justin and Leah may have finally put their trauma behind them in Home And Away. But are they quite ready to walk down the aisle?
Justin (James Stewart) is ecstatic when Leah (Ada Nicodemou) – who has been living with Alf (Ray Meagher) and Marilyn (Emily Symons) – returns home and into his loving arms.

With life seemingly back to normal, he blurts out the question he’s wanted to ask for months: is Leah ready to marry him?
“Leah is still cautious – everything has to move slowly,” Ada, 46, tells TV WEEK. “What’s to say she won’t snap again?”
Leah asks for time to consider – and consults Valerie (Courtney Clarke), who was her roommate at the mental health clinic and has recently started dating her nephew Theo (Matt Evans). She urges her friend to take the chance at love.

“Val has lived with her own trauma for some time, but found a sense of purpose in wanting to help Leah renavigate life in Summer Bay,” Courtney explains.
Finding Justin on the beach, Leah boldly declares, “I can’t wait to be your wife!” The wedding is back on! The happy couple kiss and share the news with friends at the Diner.
But, over coffee, as Justin dives into wedding plans, Leah sits quietly. Could she be regretting her words?
