Neighbours star Takaya Honda has spoken to Digital Spy about David Tanaka's shocking discovery over newcomer Dean Covey next week.
Viewers have recently seen David and his husband Aaron (Matt Wilson) bickering over Dean, who works as a cleaner at the Erinsborough Hospital.
David has been confiding in Dean (Travis Cotton) about the recent troubles in his marriage. When Aaron discovered this, he suspected that Dean has feelings for David.
Although David has dismissed this theory, he's in for a shock next week when Dean tries to kiss him at work.

Speaking to Digital Spy about David's response, Takaya explained: "It's such a mix of emotions for David. He obviously feels guilty and sorrowful that Aaron was right all along about Dean wanting more.
"He also feels completely betrayed by Dean as well, because Dean had allowed David to feel like he was in a safe space to say whatever he wanted.
"David thought this person was just offering a friendship, when really there was an ulterior motive for Dean getting close to him.
"Ultimately there's a huge betrayal that David has to deal with, along with the guilt that he's feeling for Aaron as well."

Asked whether he prefers playing David and Aaron when they're arguing or loved-up, Takaya replied: "Whether they're loved-up or whether there's tension, I love filming it because at the core of it, is a really strong love.
"It's always a story of 'how will they get through this?' rather than 'will they survive it?'
"I think that's a stronger story to tell and a good story to tell, showing how long-term relationships can persevere, especially on Ramsay Street, where some of the most insane and intense situations can happen!

"I love getting to explore that with Matt and figure out ways to tell these stories. We try to maintain that whether they're mad at each other or not, the love still exists there.
"We still see the love, because when you're mad at someone you don't like, there's not as much pain as when you're mad at someone you love. Getting that pain to translate is what sells those moments."
