Home and Away's Casey Braxton will be left battling a life-threatening infection in an upcoming storyline.
Casey will be left seriously ill after he contracts blood poisoning as a result of having his "All or Nothing" tattoo removed.
Viewers in Australia have recently seen Casey learn the shocking truth about his paternity, after Brax tells him that his real father is Johnny Barrett, making him a half-sibling of Barrett brothers Andy and Josh.
After initially fleeing the Bay following a fight with Andy, Casey returns to the Braxton house to pack his bags, feeling that he no longer belongs in the family.
Lincoln Younes, who plays Casey, told TV Week: "Having had a few days to reflect, he decides he doesn't belong at the house.
"It's too hard to move on from things and distance himself from his past when he's in the same environment."
What to Read Next
As Casey heads off to spend the night at the gym, Brax (Steve Peacocke) follows his brother to talk some sense into him, but finds Casey in a shocking state.
Younes explained: "He finds Casey convulsing and semi-concious."
It is later revealed that the illness has been caused by the poor removal of Casey's tattoo.
"Having his tattoo removed is Casey's way of distracting himself from his past," Younes said. "He only got the tattoo because he thought he was destined to follow in the footsteps of Danny [who he thought was his dad] and his way of life."
Brax calls Nate (Kyle Pryor), who insists that Casey goes to the hospital to get himself checked out. When Casey refuses, Brax is left to convince his brother to change his mind before it's too late.
Home and Away airs these scenes next week in Australia and in June in the UK.
