Neighbours' Victor to turn ruthless in Leo storyline

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours newcomer Victor Stone spies an opportunity as Leo Tanaka's financial misery continues next week.

Victor prepares for some tough negotiation tactics as the Stone family prepare to buy into Leo's vineyard business.

Following the revelation that Victor is terminally ill, he recently promised to buy a business to ensure that his son Byron and daughter Nicolette will be provided for in the future.

Next week, Nicolette shows Victor around the vineyard and he quickly realises that this could be the business opportunity he's been looking for.

Victor is aware that Leo has been struggling lately, so he believes that it could be the perfect time to go into partnership and give Yorokobi a much-needed fresh start.

Nicolette and Byron are both sceptical over whether Leo would be willing to accept outside investment, but they're surprised when Victor approaches Leo and he agrees to consider it.

After facing so many problems since the poisoning scandal at the vineyard, Leo is starting to consider whether it might be worth having a business partner to help shoulder the responsibility.

Feeling encouraged by how the conversation went, Victor instructs Nicolette and Byron not to talk to Leo while they begin negotiations.

Victor hopes to enter into the financial discussions in the best position possible, so he doesn't want Nicolette and Byron to say anything that could jeopardise things.

Nicolette, Byron and Jane all worry about Victor's hardline stance, but he points out that their future depends on this and he's not afraid to cause an upset in pursuit of the best deal.

Will Victor get exactly what he wants – and could this be at Leo's expense?
