Home and Away, Leah Patterson-Baker will have a tough time as she tries to persuade troubled Matt Page to face up to his problems.

Matt has been on a downward spiral ever since his girlfriend Sasha Bezmel left town, but his destructive behaviour will intensify in upcoming scenes, prompting Leah to take action.

Worried about Matt who has disappeared, Evie and Josh attempt to locate him but are shocked by the state he is in when they finally do.

A drunken Matt is less than pleased to see his friends and he attempts to push Josh as the situation escalates, prompting Evie to realise that they need to leave him to his own devices.

Later, Matt decides to return home but struggles in his drunken state and ends up falling through the door and collapsing on the floor.

Leah finds Matt passed out on the floor

Leah worries about Matt

Leah is horrified to find Matt passed out the next day but as she quizzes him on his actions the night before, Matt refuses to comply with her and later carries on drinking.

As Leah explains to Matt that she was scared to discover him in such a state earlier on, he brushes off her concerns when she wonders if he has an alcohol problem like his father did.

Although Matt rejects Leah's offer of help and denies being an alcoholic, he later feels guilty when he overhears Leah blaming herself for his problems.

Deciding it is time to change, Matt tells Leah that she is not to blame for the bad state he is in and asks her if the offer of help still stands.

Leah demands that Matt starts as he means to go on by handing the alcohol over, before comforting the distraught teen. Has Matt turned a corner?
