Lachlan White claims another victim next week and it looks like his aunt Rebecca, who narrowly escaped with her life after the fatal car crash earlier this year, could be next.
The psycho killer is convinced that Liv Flaherty is behind the menacing text messages he’s been receiving after catching her on her phone.
Determined to make her pay, he heads over to Mill Cottage and fiddles with the carbon monoxide detector there while an oblivious Liv settles down with her laptop, unaware of the life-threatening leak.

The next day Lachlan wonders if his plan to kill off Liv – and by happy coincidence Robert too – has worked but he realises with horror that baby Seb is at the cottage too.
He rushes over, hoping it’s not too late to save his baby cousin from carbon monoxide poisoning.
A woozy Liv answers the door and Lachlan pushes her over causing her to bang her head and knock herself out cold.
Twisted Lachlan is pleased to see that Robert is also lying on the floor unconscious and he heads out of the house leaving them both for dead.
But his pleasure soon turns to panic as Rebecca arrives and Lachlan realises he has a new problem to deal with.
Later Lachlan is standing by his car with a bloodied spanner and his latest victim in the boot. Elsewhere, Rebecca has gone awol. Has Lachlan killed her?
Fans have been worried about Liv’s safety since she was released from prison and worked out that all was not as it seemed with Lachlan.
In recent scenes, Liv has decided that Belle’s boyfriend Lachlan is hiding something…
And she won’t stop until she finds out what.
Last month schoolgirl Liv confronted Lachlan after becoming suspicious about his behaviour towards Doug Potts and Diane Sugden.
After confronting him about the burglary, she inadvertently got Lachlan to confess about the money Doug happened upon.
Calling his bluff, she realised he was “dodgy” and confided her fears in Aaron.
Wondering aloud why no one else “is interested” in finding out the truth about Lachlan, Liv took it upon herself to expose him.
But we can all guess how that will end up!

In fact, actor Thomas Atkinson has teased that Liv could be in serious danger as she begins playing a ‘cat and mouse’ game with his murdering character…
In quotes printed in The Mirror, Thomas was asked whether Liv’s in danger and he replied: “Oh yeah, no doubt.”
