== Storylines ==
In Episode 0001 Lisa gets injured in a car crash while in labour. Stuart Neilson was speeding to get her to the hospital in time. She is then taken to Shortland Street hospital by ambulance, driven by paramedics Sam Aleni and Tom Neilson (Stuart's father). The hospital is not equipped to deliver babies, but Lisa has a head injury which convinces them to take her their anyway as it's the closest hospital. When they arrive at Shortland Street, charge nurse Carrie Burton tries to prevent Stuart from entering the exam room, but he announces that he is the father and is let in. The baby, which Lisa later names Rebecca, ends up being a breech birth. Hone Ropata delivers the baby anyway, ignoring the protests of Carrie. The delivery goes well, and Lisa and her baby are transferred to a maternity ward.
In Episode 0007 Stuart argues with the father of Lisa's baby, asking him to take responsibility and look after them both. Lisa also argues with Stuart, as she doesn't want anything to do with the father. It's revealed at the end of the episode the father of Lisa's baby is Stuart's brother, Darryl Neilson, when he walks into the Neilson residence for dinner and finds Lisa in the living room.
In Episode 0008 the Neilson's have an awkward dinner with Lisa, Stuart, Darryl, and Darryl's wife, Dianne Neilson, all at the table together. Things get hostile between Darryl and Stuart, causing Lisa to get upset and leave. Lisa tells Stuart to keep his mouth shut, she doesn't want to break up a family. Later, off screen, Lisa writes Stuart a letter explaining she's going to go stay with family. She leaves the letter with Marj, and leaves town without saying goodbye to Stuart in person.
