Neighbours newlyweds David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan face a new crisis next week following Chloe’s bombshell news over her health.
Chloe is about to reveal the truth over her Huntington’s diagnosis after she learns that David (Takaya Honda) and Aaron (Matt Wilson) are making plans to start a family together.
Earlier this year, Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) was told that she’d tested positive for Huntington’s, a genetic disorder for which there is no cure.
When Chloe discovers that her brother and David are considering surrogacy and plan to use Aaron’s sperm, she finally bites the bullet and tells her family everything.
Although Mark agrees to get himself tested, Aaron buries his head in the sand and decides that he’s happier not knowing the truth either way.
Next week’s episodes see Aaron’s attitude start to cause trouble for his marriage, as David is concerned over the way he’s handling the situation.
David spots that Aaron seems to be using intense exercise as a way to distract himself from what’s really going on. He urges Aaron to open up and reconsider having the test, but Aaron refuses to listen.
When David’s brother Leo (Tim Kano) finds out what’s going on, he can’t resist getting involved by speaking to Aaron himself. Leo warns Aaron to stop thinking only of himself, since this issue closely impacts David too.
Realising there’s some truth to Leo’s words, Aaron finally lets his guard down and opens up to David. Although he’s still not changing his mind, Aaron is more open about his reasoning – explaining that he doesn’t want to add further grief to the Brennan family when they’re already dealing with so much.
Later in the week, Mark gets his own test results back and is relieved to discover that he doesn’t have the Huntington’s gene.
Mark’s obvious relief gives Aaron the courage to change his mind, so he tells David that he’ll now have the test after all. Will there be a happy outcome after the couple head to the hospital together?
