Terese (played by Rebekah Elmaloglou) has been trying to uncover the reason why her young lover Leo (Tim Kano) dumped her during the Neighbours Christmas episodes.
The heartbroken Ramsay Street resident has even tried her luck with Leo’s father Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) who is her former lover, to try and get to the reason she was rejected.
However, little does she know Leo has been blackmailed by Delaney Renshaw (Ella Newton) who will be reunited with her uncle and father on the Channel 5 soap as they seek revenge on Paul’s son.
When Delaney’s uncle Ivan Renshaw (Michael Shanahan) takes several Erinsbrough residents hostage during a siege at The Waterhole, Terese takes the bullet as he points the gun at Leo.
During his time in Sydney, Leo informed the police Ivan and his brother Raymond were laundering money, leading to their arrest.
Wanting to get their vengeance on Leo, Ivan goes on the run when he shoots the wrong person, leaving Terese fighting for her life.
Terese is rushed to hospital with daughter Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel) by her side while son Ned Willis (Ben Hall) apprehends Ivan.
However, danger is still lurking as Raymond is still on the run and armed, hoping to finish the job his brother started in getting revenge on Leo.
With the police investigating the shooting, Terese begins to come round in hospital. Instead of calling out for Leo however, it seems her mind is very much
