Home and Away spoilers for next week 28 September to 2 October 2026

 What's next in Summer Bay?

Coming up on Home and Away, Marilyn places Zane in danger after inviting Heidi's brother Austin to Summer Bay.

Elsewhere, the locals come together for a blood donation drive to find a stem cell match for Eden, and life deals Levi and Mac another cruel blow.

Here's a full collection of 12 big moments coming up.

 Amelia opens up to David

Amelia wants her and David to go public with their romance, but he's keen to keep it behind closed doors through fear of hurting Lacey.

The couple head back to Amelia's motel room, where she opens up about her upbringing in the foster care system.

But their time together is soon cut short when Amelia receives a call to say Eden's health has taken a turn for the worse.

Jimmy learns a devastating truth

Eden's afternoon with her family ends in an emergency dash to hospital after she collapses, while struggling to breathe.

Levi explains the treatment that's meant to be making Eden stronger is no longer working.

And when Eden's father Jimmy questions what this means, Levi is forced to be honest – Eden may only have a matter of months left.

Eden's health is in decline

As Cash and Jimmy hold vigil by Eden's hospital bed, Amelia reveals that the doctors have decided to bring forward her next transfusion.

The next morning, Eden's obs are looking better, so Amelia gives her permission to return home but insists on complete rest.

But Amelia remains concerned about Eden's liver and kidney functions and knows the need to find a donor is more urgent than ever.

The locals rally round to support Eden

Remi receives a call to say a blood donation van is coming to Summer Bay and is quick to spread the word.

The locals work together to promote the blood drive, hoping it could lead to finding a suitable stem cell match for Eden.

Later, Cash drives Eden home past the Surf Club to see everyone who's turned out to help her. Eden is desperate to thank them all in person, but has to keep her distance and wave from the vehicle.

 Mali helps John face his fears

Mali calls John out for avoiding the blood drive, but Marilyn points out that he faints at the mere sight of a needle.

After tricking John into coming to the event, Mali finds his friend hiding in the office. Embarrassed, John opens up about his phobia and explains how he once fainted in front of his navy mates.

Mali is understanding, and with his support, John finally finds the courage to take part in the blood donation.

Marilyn makes a risky move

Guilt-ridden Zane finally opens up to Marilyn as he admits that he will never be able to move on from what he did to Heidi.

Seeing his distress, Marilyn feels compelled to help as she looks at the number for Heidi's next of kin Austin.

Will she go behind Zane's back and reach out to his victim's family again?

Lacey gives Amelia a chance

David confronts Lacey after finding out that she warned Amelia to stay away from him yet again.

Lacey realises she's overstepped the mark and approaches Amelia to say sorry. Amelia accepts Lacey's apology and for the first time they manage to have a civil chat.

Afterwards Amelia and David head back to her motel and agree to forget about Lacey and just focus on themselves for a bit.

 Zane feels betrayed by Mali

Remi is puzzled by Zane's refusal to sign up for the blood drive and asks Mali what's going on.

Mali explains that Zane is on parole and won't be allowed to donate blood until he's been out of prison for 12 months.

Concerned for Zane, Mali goes to see him. But this only makes things worse when Zane discovers that Mali has been telling people about his shameful past.

Heidi's brother arrives in the Bay

Inspired by the acts of kindness towards Eden, Marilyn calls Heidi's brother Austin and asks him to get in touch.

It's not long before Austin turns up at the Diner, but he shows Zane zero sympathy for what he did to Heidi.

Marilyn returns home, but is closely followed by Austin, who demands to see Zane for himself.

There's bad news for Mac and Levi

Mackenzie receives an email from the IVF clinic to say all her embryos have now been destroyed.

More bad news follows when Levi reveals that his operation has been cancelled because he's got too much scar tissue on his hand.

Mac feels torn about whether to tell Levi about the embryos given what's going on with Eden, but Mali urges her to be honest. How will Levi take this latest trauma?

Austin attacks Zane

Despite Marilyn's best attempts to calm the situation, Austin is baying for Zane's blood.

Moments later Zane arrives home with Alf, who's just returned from Merimbula, and is confronted by Austin who pins him up against the wall.

Zane holds his temper while Alf rings the police, who arrive and haul Austin down the station.

Zane makes a decision

Austin is questioned by David, but is released with a warning after Zane agrees not to press charges for assault.

As Austin departs, he apologises to Marilyn for what happened but insists Zane never contacts him or his family again.

Zane is grateful for Marilyn's unwavering support but Alf wants to know what on earth she was thinking by reaching out to Austin in the first place.

Home and Away Spoilers – Jimmy Fowler returns as Eden’s survival hopes fade n

 

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, as Eden struggles with isolation, she’s buoyed by a family reunion – but the hopes of a stem cell match fade fast.

Eden’s (Stephanie Panozzo) fight for survival intensifies next week, as she leaves hospital and tries to adjust to a life of strict isolation while the search for a stem cell donor continues.

After weeks of unexplained symptoms, a biopsy recently confirmed that Eden has aplastic anaemia—a rare condition in which her bone marrow is no longer producing enough new blood cells.

With blood transfusions offering only a temporary solution, Amelia (Nicole da Silva) explained that a stem cell transplant was Eden’s best hope of putting the illness behind her. Siblings generally offer the strongest chance of a match, but Abigail (Hailey Pinto) was ruled out because her history of intravenous drug use means she can’t donate.

That left Eden pinning her hopes on brother Levi (Tristan Gorey), whilst Cash (Nicholas Cartwright), Mackenzie (Emily Weir), and Eden’s parents were also tested.

Next week, Eden becomes increasingly desperate to escape the confines of the hospital, where constant tests and the same four walls have left her feeling suffocated, and asks to return home.

Amelia warns that the risk of infection outside the hospital could be too great, but Cash is equally determined to get Eden home, particularly after learning that he isn’t a donor match. Desperate to give her some good news, he persuades Amelia to raise the possibility with the specialist.

Eden is eventually discharged on the condition that she isolates and follows the hospital’s instructions to the letter. Even a cold could develop into pneumonia and leave her fighting for her life, but she and Cash are determined to make it work.

Although Eden is relieved to be back in familiar surroundings, the reality of her decision soon sets in when she realises that Levi and Abby can no longer visit.

Later that night, Cash calls Levi to voice his concern about how isolated Eden is feeling, only to learn that neither of her parents are a donor match either. With the bad news continuing to mount, the pair begin planning a way for Eden to see her family safely.

They arrange a socially distanced breakfast outside the farmhouse the following day. Abby has to resist the urge to hug her sister, but the Fowlers soon fall back into their familiar teasing as they enjoy being together again.

Their happiness is cut short when Levi takes a call from the hospital and learns that he isn’t a match and can’t be Eden’s donor. Returning to the table, he breaks the news to his sister.

Eden insists that it isn’t his fault, but later admits to Cash that she’d been hoping her big brother would be able to save her.

Abby also struggles with the result, blaming her past drug use for denying them the chance to discover whether she could have been a match.

Mac later joins the gathering after learning that she’s also been ruled out as a match.

When Cash steps inside with her, he admits that Eden’s isolation has revived painful memories of his childhood.

Cash was once sent away to stay with Gary (Peter Phelps) when he had a cold, whilst his father cared for Cash’s seriously ill mother, Jennifer.

She died before Cash could return, and the memory leaves him determined that Eden should spend as much time with her family as possible.

Back outside, Eden privately asks Levi for an honest assessment of her chances, now that her hopes of finding donor within the family have been dashed.

He explains that immunosuppressant therapy could buy them time to find a donor, reminding her that new people join the registry every day.

Yet Levi’s attempts to keep his sister hopeful conceal his own growing fear that he won’t be able to save her.

As the gathering comes to an end, Cash helps Eden back to the car.

Eden tells Levi that she wishes she could hug him, thanks her family for making the day happen and shares an emotional goodbye with Abby, unsure of when they’ll be face-to-face again.

Once Eden and Cash have driven away, Mac confides in Levi that they both looked terrified.

That evening, Mac arrives home from Salt to find Levi sitting alone in the dark.

He admits that he’s struggling to support Abby, reassure his parents, and answer Eden’s questions when he has no idea how her illness will unfold.

Mac suggests asking his parents to come to Summer Bay, but Levi insists that there’s nothing they can do and he just needs a good night’s sleep.

The following day, Levi faces yet more questions when Remi (Adam Rowland), Mali (Kyle Shilling) and Sonny (Ryan Bown) approach him at Salt to ask about Eden and joining the donor registry.

Levi encourages them to be tested, explaining that even if they can’t help Eden, they could prove a match for somebody else. However, the questions he can’t answer only deepen his sense that he’s failing his sister.

Realising how much pressure Levi has placed on himself, Mac secretly calls his dad, Jimmy (Aaron Jeffery), and asks how quickly he can reach the Bay.

Levi is surprised when Jimmy arrives, but quickly admits that he’s glad to see him.

Abby is equally delighted by the reunion and immediately pushes for them to find a safe way for their dad to visit Eden, despite Levi’s concern that another gathering could exhaust her.

When Cash reveals that Jimmy is in town, Eden pleads for the chance to see him.

The following day, the family arranges an outdoor picnic on the grass near the surf club, where Eden can sit comfortably and see Jimmy while maintaining a safe distance.

Although she’s so weak that Cash considers cancelling, Eden insists on going and admits that she doesn’t know how many more opportunities she’ll have to spend time with her family.

When they arrive, Cash helps Eden out of the car as Jimmy is confronted by how ill his daughter has become.

Unable to give her the hug he desperately wants, Jimmy instead reminds Eden that she’s always been stubborn and strong, agreeing with Abby that she has the willpower to get through this.

Yet the reunion heightens Cash’s fears. Whilst helping Mac collect food from Salt, he begins to falter and questions whether allowing Eden to attend was too dangerous, admitting that he can’t bear the thought of losing her.

EastEnders' Denise Fox to face uncertainty over life-saving stem cell match

 Will Darnell agree to the transplant?

EastEnders’ Denise Fox pins all her hopes on her estranged brother Darnell Larson next week, when he reveals he might be a potential donor match!

But with Darnell’s fears preventing him from committing to the stem cell transplant, is Denise about to lose her last chance at life?

Denise’s good news might be short lived," says our EastEnders insider. "She’s exhausted her treatment options, and doctors are relying on a stem cell transplant. Darnell is the match she’s been searching for – but will he come through for her?"

After the positive news about the donor that the doctor shared during Kim and Howie’s wedding ceremony, Jack’s frustrated at how slow things are moving. Denise’s situation is critical, and the sooner she can receive a transplant, the better her chances of survival.

But when Denise reveals the donor hasn’t come forward, frustrated Jack confronts Darnell, convinced he’s the answer to their problems…

Darnell reluctantly admits he’s a potential match but reiterates his fears and the trauma he has around hospitals.

When Darnell met his half-sister, he explained to her that his fear of hospitals was it reminds him of his late wife Louisa’s illness and death.

My wife, Louisa, she was taken into hospital and she never came out," he said. "I've been in one of these places for way too long, sat in one of these chairs for too long.

"And I would've done it a thousand times over, of course, if she could've walked out that door with me and come home to my family. But she didn't."

Denise puts her frustrations aside and accepts her brother’s decision. But Jack is less forgiving of Darnell’s behaviour, terrified of losing his wife.

Does this mean Denise’s hopes of a stem cell transplant are over? Or will the doctors be able to find another treatment to prolong her life?

Also next week, Denise selflessly puts her own problems to the side and reaches out to Kat, who is struggling following the death of her daughter Zoe.

After Alfie tells her that he is concerned about his wife, Denise heads over to see Kat to offer her support. Will Denise’s words cut through, and with the Slater-Moons gathering to plant a tree in Zoe’s memory, will Kat join her loved ones?
