Zack is left reeling from the news, but with the secret threatening to upend Barney’s world, will Nicola take action to protect Barney and Teddy from the truth?.
When Zack goes on a mission to try and stop Barney from revealing the truth, their conversation takes a turn when the teenager starts bleeding from the wound caused by flying shrapnel when the blast tore through the Vic last week.
But spoilers have revealed how the hospital dash leads to a huge unravelling that will have major consequences for his dad Teddy (Roland Manookian), mum Nicola (Laura Doddington) and her former lover Zack Hudson (James Farrar).
As he later demands answers from Nicola about Barney’s real paternity, she drops the bombshell to Zack that Barney is his biological son.
Zack joins Nicola and Teddy at the hospital, where the medics are looking at Barney, but a conversation about blood groups sparks his suspicions.
