Libby and Drew receive some devastating news...

Future Shock

When Ramsay Street's Libby Kennedy was involved in a horrific motorcycle accident a couple of weeks ago, her main concern was fighting to survive. This week, as Libby appears to be on the road to recovery, doctors deliver another devastating blow. According to Kym Valentine, who plays Libby, the news comes out of the blue.

"It looks as though Libby is on the mend but then she suddenly develops peritonitis," Kym reveals. "She has a raging fever, and starts going in and out of consciousness. "Eventually her fever drops and she starts to get better. But because of the infection, it turns out that she might not be able to have children."

The implications for Libby and Drew- who are in the process of planning their wedding- are immense. "Libby is very very upset but she tries to be brace and not overreact," Kym says. "Drew is very supportive, but Libby knows that deep down he's very upset. She worries that she's going to deny him something he has always wanted and that in a few years time, he'll start to resent her."

With storm clouds gathering over the future of their relationship, Kym hopes that viewers will be immersed in the storyline. "I'm not sure of where it all ends up, but I think the journey is quite interesting," she says. "There are a lot of emotional scenes, and I had to put a lot of effort into mapping it out. I'm keen to see how they deal with it, and I hope viewers are, too."
