Neighbours‘ Nicolette Stone seeks reassurance from Aaron Brennan next week as the Varga-Murphys’ baby storyline continues.
Nicolette is left feeling insecure when she realises that Remi and Cara Varga-Murphy have approached Aaron to ask for his help with expanding their family.
Remi and Cara are in the early stages of planning to have another baby together. Cara is interested in using a known donor this time, in contrast to the process they previously went through to welcome their sons JJ and Dex.
This week’s episodes see Remi and Cara ask Aaron if he’d be interested. Aaron confirms that he’s flattered to be considered, but won’t get involved as he’s a carrier for the Huntington’s gene.

Next week, Nicolette is surprised to find a card that Remi and Cara have written for Aaron.
The touching message thanks Aaron after he confirmed that he would have said yes to being their donor if the circumstances with the gene were different.
Overreacting to her discovery, Nicolette prepares for a row with Aaron but thinks better of it when she learns that Cara has been admitted to hospital following an accident at Lassiters.
When Nicolette does catch up with Aaron, she admits that she’s insecure because it seems like he would prefer to have another baby with a “rock solid” couple like Remi and Cara rather than her.

Nicolette and Aaron are already parents to their daughter Isla. Before Aaron’s husband David died, there had been talks about potentially expanding their family further.
Nicolette adds that in an ideal world, she would have another baby with Aaron.
Aaron is touched by Nicolette’s vulnerability and quickly confirms that, if it weren’t for the Huntington’s gene, he would hypothetically have another baby with her too – even now that David isn’t in the picture.
After their recent rows over Isla, have Nicolette and Aaron finally turned a corner?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, November 18.
