a large brain tumour. The Robinsons are worried but remain hopeful and the surgery is a success. During her stay in hospital, Lucy meets Rick Hansen (Dominic McDonald), a fellow patient around her age and they become friends after a difficult start. When Lucy finds the nurses stripping Rick's bed, she assumes he has died and is left devastated but Rick reappears and tells her he is being discharged and invites her to join him in the country over the holidays, which she accepts. On Valentine's Day 1988, Lucy attends Jim's wedding to Lucy's much loved doctor, Beverly Marshall (Lisa Armytage). On the same day, Paul and Gail Robinson renew their vows and Lucy meets her new step-cousins Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid) and Katie Landers (Sally Jensen).
