Home and Away has confirmed that VJ Patterson is heading back to Summer Bay, as his mum Leah prepares to marry Justin Morgan.
Actor Matt Little is reprising his role as VJ for Leah and Justin’s wedding scenes, having last been seen in the Bay in 2017 when he fled to Cyprus with baby Luc, the daughter of his late wife Billie.
A new promotional clip sharing a first-look at Leah and Justin’s romantic wedding, which has been aired in Australia, confirms his return as VJ is seen walking a smiling Leah down the aisle towards Justin.
Given that she is shown grinning during the ceremony, the video also verifies that Penny McNamee’s character, Justin’s sister Tori, will be present on the big day. In 2021, Tori left to start a new life with her daughter Grace and husband Christian Green.
Before flashbacks of Leah and Justin’s romance play, the romantic teaser shows a glimpse of Leah grinning as she is driven to the ceremony in her wedding car and escorted out by Alf Stewart.
Leah’s nephew Theo Poulos is seen riding with Justin, who is waiting for her to come. Justin is dressed in a white tux. Additionally, the couple is seen renewing vows in front of tearful family and friends.
Leah and Justin’s big day has been a long time coming, with the couple having recently survived a huge test of their relationship after their terrifying kidnapping ordeal by cult Vita Nova led to Leah experiencing a breakdown.
Following a stay at a clinic, Leah decided to continue keeping her distance from Justin as she recovered. Eventually, it was her new friend Valerie Beaumont who convinced Leah to give her relationship another chance, and Leah announced to Justin that she was ready to become his wife.
