An emotional Walter explains that Zoe has leukaemia and needs a bone marrow transplant, which is the real reason that he came to Erinsborough
Walter wants Sonya to get herself tested with a
view to possibly donating her bone marrow to Zoe.
Despite much concern
from her husband Toadie, Sonya immediately agrees to help.
Sonya's
determination to be a donor is cemented when Zoe arrives in
Erinsborough and they're introduced for the first time, striking up an immediate bond.
Although Sonya is delighted to have connected
with her sister, there's a devastating setback when Karl Kennedy is
later forced to explain that she's not a match with Zoe.
As
everyone reels from the news that Sonya won't be able to help, Walter
reluctantly points out that her young daughter Nell could also be
tested. But will the Rebechis really allow that to happen?
