1. Nicolette’s baby offer shocks Leo
Neighbours fans can expect trouble in paradise for happy couple Krista and Leo Tanaka next week, when the hotel manager explains that she doesn’t want to give birth again. After months of keeping this painful secret to herself, Krista finally reveals the truth to her stunned hubby, who’s longing for a bigger family.
But will a shocking offer from Nicolette Stone save their marriage – or end it?
What to Read Next
“Nicolette thinks she has the perfect solution – she’ll have Leo’s baby,” our Neighbours source explains. “She’s desperate for another kid, and she trusts Leo just like she did David. If Krista can’t physically go through a pregnancy, she’ll do it.”
Nicolette’s monumental offer comes after Krista is finally honest with Leo about how she feels. After seeking counsel again from Terese, Krista explains that she doesn’t ever want to go through what she suffered losing baby Hope, even if that means breaking Leo’s heart. Terese advises her that the longer she leaves it, the more painful it will be.

When they have some time alone, Krista finally confides in her husband, being firm but gentle about her reasoning. Devastated, the news hits Leo hard, but Krista remains optimistic about expanding their family in different ways. However, she has no idea what offer is soon on the table…
“Leo and Nicolette discover they’re on the same page,” our insider continues. “Leo is emotional, thinking about everything he missed in the early days with Abby. And Nicolette wishes she could have another child. But where does this plan leave Krista?”
Hearing from Nicolette just how devastated Leo is about not being able to have another child naturally, Krista starts to wonder if she could put her fears aside for him. But with Leo feeling down, he’s thrown when Nicolette arrives with her offer – she can carry his baby.
Will Leo and Krista accept Nicolette’s generous offer to expand their family? Or will this opportunity be too unorthodox for Krista to handle – and tear the couple apart?
