Drew gets some unwanted female attention while his wife Libby holidays in the UK

While the Wife's Away

When Drew Kirk tied the knot with Libby Kennedy in Neighbours, he became the happiest man in soap land. Not even Libby leaving Ramsay Street to attend her brother Mal's wedding in the UK could wipe the smile off Drew's face. Sine then, he has been happily going about his business, biding his time and waiting for his wife to return. But unbeknown to him, he's become the target of a man-stealer!

According to Dan Paris, who plays Drew, the good-natured mechanic has no idea that newcomer Veronica Anderson has romantic designs on him. "Veronica brings her car into Drew's garage and takes an instant shine to him," Dan says. "Being very much in love with Libby, Drew thinks she's just being friendly. He doesn't read any of the signs that she's actually falling in love with him."

The emotionally unstable Veronica has her own take on Drew's situation. As actress Monika-Isabella Karwan explains, her character decides Drew is the man for her. The fact he's newly married is no obstacle! "Veronica thinks it's terrible that his wife has gone overseas and left him behind," Monika reveals. "She's convinced that Libby doesn't love him- and even if Drew doesn't realize it yet, he son will!"

Crafty Veronica is not above resorting to sabotage to get what she wants. "She decides that the best way to keep in contact with Drew is through the garage, and she deliberately destroys her car radiator to give her a reason to go in," Monika says. "She even discovers that Drew is a Clint Eastwood fan, so she hires all these videos and pretends she's a fan, too!" "Drew likes to see the best in people and can't believe that Veronica would be in love with him," Dan adds. "He's not the brightest bloke, is he!"

However, not even Drew can deny the truth when Veronica comes out and boldly makes a move on him. "They're sitting in the front seat of her car and Veronica puts her hand on his lap," Dan reveals. "She says, 'It's good that we've found each other and we're in love'. She's totally delusional and has misread the whole situation. It's a real wake up call for Drew. He tries to set her straight, but she just doesn't get it."
