Home and Away’s Xander Delaney will quit his job at Salt in scenes that will air

in Australia soon, as the backlash over Mackenzie Booth and Levi Fowler’s affair continues

to rock Summer Bay. With Mac and Levi’s secret passion having been exposed,

the couple are now facing the wrath of their friends and neighbours, who are upset that the pair have been getting passionate behind Levi’s wife, Imogen’s, back.

One of the people who has been most angry with Mac is her business partner, Felicity Newman, who told Mac “I don’t know how you can live with yourself” after she discovered the truth about her and Levi.

According to TV Week, the feud between the pair is set to reach boiling point in upcoming scenes, which will lead to their Salt colleague Xander walking away from his job.

Desperate Xander is struggling to be at Salt as his workplace becomes increasingly toxic. As a result, he calls a mediation meeting between Mac and Felicity in an attempt to help them sort out their problems once and for all.

Unfortunately for Xander, he’s soon accused of taking sides and he ends up being forced to take drastic action.

“It hurts Xander and makes him more frustrated because he’s not choosing sides – he’s trying to be a friend and support both of them,” actor Luke Van Os, who plays Xander, said.

“He’s constantly stuck between their fighting when all he wants to do is come to work and not have the drama. So when work becomes frustrating and not worth the drama, he quits.”

Will Xander’s shock exit be a wake-up call for Mac and Felicity, or will they let their animosity get the better of them?
