Home and Away - John Palmer will be forced to face up to the reality that life with his wife Marilyn may never be the same again.

After suffering an electric shock that left her in a coma, Marilyn's loved ones will be left relieved when her condition seems to be improving.

However, new doctor James attempts to make it clear to John that the after-effects of an electric shock are extremely unpredictable and there is a long road ahead yet.

As a desperate John pleads with Marilyn to pull through, he is delighted when she squeezes his hand. With Marilyn seemingly back to normal and ready for visitors, John later re-enters her room, but is left alarmed when she doesn't recognise him.

Marilyn's memory loss is allowing her to believe that she is still married to Don Fisher and she has no recollection of her relationship with John whatsoever. In getting Marilyn back, has John lost his wife forever?
