Can Terese convince him to lift the ban and let Nell see JJ?
FOR WEEK COMMENCING 3RD JUNE
Toadie’s ban of Nell and JJ remains, will Nell thinking it’s unfair and claims Toadie has it all wrong and JJ isn’t a bad influence, just a friend going through a hard time. But Toadie is unwavering.
As JJ and Haz share a conversation about moving on from past mistakes and building trust with others again, it inspires JJ to go help at the community centre, which delights Nell. But when they're caught mucking around by Toadie, JJ makes an impassioned plea that he is here to volunteer and wants to prove he’s trustworthy. However, it falls on deaf ears as Toadie reiterates that JJ needs to stay away, leaving Nell humilated.
When Terese questions Toadie about his harsh stance, he admits Nell is nearly the same age Sonya was when she first started having issues and fell pregnant with Callum, and doesn’t want Nell making the same mistakes. Appreciating the concern, Terese points out that Sonya and Nell are two different people and the more uncompromising he is, the more it’ll make Nell rebel.
Meanwhile over the phone, Nell and JJ vent, with Nell ignoring the ban and inviting him over while her family is out and they share a moment of intimacy, before being caught by Toadie.
Shocked to find JJ in Nell’s room, Toadie doubles down on his ban, despite Nell’s protests that JJ is just a friend and Terese is forced to play middleman and encourages Toadie to understand where his daughter is coming from.
Absorbing Nell’s continued upset, Toadie extends an olive branch to the Varga-Murphys. When Cara and Remi point out that JJ was just trying to cheer Nell up, Toadie concedes he’s been a bit overprotecrive and lifts the ban, on the proviso that Nell and JJ only hang out when others are around.
Nell and JJ are pleased with their small victory and Dex is happy to be their chaperone if it means Nell will visit him in hospital more.
Later, Terese encourages Nell to open up to her and shares that Toadie is convinced JJ and her are more than friends. When Nell reveals she may have a tiny one-sided crush, Terese assures Nell that it’s just between them, but she’s torn about keeping this information from Toadie.
