Mackenzie sees how heartbroken Hendrix is, so she tracks down the donor's father and begs him to reconsider.

Will this be enough?

Ben Turland, who plays Hendrix, recently told Digital Spy: "I was honoured to take [this story] on, and it's been really good to explore it with everybody.

"Hendrix's health issues were triggered by the fire at Erinsborough High, when he saved Mackenzie. This brought on the pulmonary fibrosis.

"It's been a slow approach to the story since then, but now we really get into it. It's been a good challenge."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, May 30 and Tuesday, May 31 at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Wednesday, June 22 and Thursday, June 23 on 10 Peach (Australia).
