Home and Away spoilers for next week 13 to 17 July 2026

 What's next in Summer Bay?

Coming up on Home and Away, Remi exposes Sonny's steroid abuse to Dana, but whose side will she take?

Elsewhere, Richie is fired from the police force, Mali risks his life to save another, and Cash asks Eden if they can foster children instead of having their own.

Here's a full collection of 13 massive moments.

David wants to get back to normal

David is desperate to get out of hospital and back to work, but Amelia lays down the law and tells him that he'll only go home when she says so.

Lacey is particularly concerned about her dad being discharged, and fears that he'll end up back in hospital if he overdoes it.

Jo completely disagrees, and thinks it will be safe for David to return to normality.

Cash has a proposition for Eden

Cash comes to his senses and decides that his marriage to Eden is worth fighting for, despite her refusal to have a baby.

The couple are left wondering what their future holds, until Cash asks Eden if she'd be open to fostering.

Eden thinks it's a wonderful idea, leaving her and Cash hopeful that there's a way forward in their relationship.

 Richie receives heartbreaking news

After receiving news from the conduct commission, Cash brings Richie to the station and terminates his employment from the force.

Devastated by the loss of his job, Richie admits to Abigail that he's not sure if he can stay in Summer Bay.

Richie apologises for how he ended things between them, but his words make Abigail feel as if she's been dumped all over again.

Amelia and David grow closer

Amelia finally allows David to return home, on the condition that Jo and Lacey are there to look after him.

David thanks Amelia for saving his life, and she gives him her mobile number so he can call if he needs anything.

Later, Amelia is drinking alone at Salt when a text pings through from David. Is there an attraction building between the doctor and her patient?

Mali saves a life

An emergency situation arises on the beach when Mali hears the cries of a woman, who is being swept away by the sea.

With no lifeguards present at the beach, Mali has to dive into the water and save the drowning woman himself.

Mali confronts John about the incident, and is shocked to learn that the Surf Club doesn't have the money to recruit any more lifeguards.

 Beau is playing a dangerous game

Dana is delighted to see how happy Harper is with new love interest Beau, and suggests she and Sonny join them on a double date.

The last thing Sonny wants to do, however, is have a night out with his secret dealer, so he makes an excuse to get out of it.

Dana goes along regardless and grills Beau about his friendship with her man, but he doesn't give anything away.

Remi discovers Sonny's secret

Beau finds Sonny on the beach, and issues a threat to cut off his steroid supply.

This sparks a rage inside of Sonny and he lashes out at Remi, cutting his friend's lip open.

Remi starts to join the dots about Sonny's recent aggression and the money he borrowed. He asks his mate outright: 'Are you taking drugs?'

Sonny loses it

Sonny vehemently denies the accusation, but Remi knows something isn't right. He just needs proof.

After making sure no one is home, Remi searches Sonny's place and discovers a bottle of non-prescription pills in his backpack.

Remi tries to help by confiscating the drugs, but this sends Sonny into a state of rage.

David is haunted by the past

Justin still feels a level of responsibility for what happened to David, but after a lot of coaxing from Leah, he finally faces his friend.

David assures Justin that he wasn't in any way to blame, and they toast to the future.

Justin is confident that David's recovery is going well, but later that night David is gripped by terrifying flashbacks to the shooting.

Beau deceives Harper

Harper and Beau arrive home to find shattered glass on the floor. Remi makes out the breakage was caused by a bird, but Beau is suspicious.

While alone with Harper later, an agitated Beau keeps checking his phone.

Harper questions what he's up to, but he makes out that he's fielding calls from clients at the gym.

 Dana takes Sonny's side over Remi's

Unable to hide the truth, Remi tells Dana about Sonny's steroid abuse and shows her the bottle of pills he confiscated.

Dana struggles to believe that Sonny would do such a thing given she's so opposed to drug use, and decides to confront him directly.

Sonny admits to purchasing the steroids, but lies about taking any. This is enough to convince Dana that her boyfriend is telling the truth, and that Remi is lying.

 Sonny is forced into debt

Remi is horrified to discover that Dana has sided with Sonny, and he can't seem to do anything to change her mind.

Meanwhile, Sonny approaches Beau, desperate for his next fix.

Beau agrees to supply him with another batch, but the transaction puts Sonny into debt.

 David is in a bad way

Despite David insisting that he's okay, Lacey and Jo fear that their father is not coping.

A while later, Lacey is washing up in the kitchen when David wakes from another nightmare, shouting out the word "stop".

Lacey sees through David's stoicism, and insists that he must rest while allowing her and Jo to properly care for him.

Neighbours secretly scrapped a shock death storyline - after the networks demanded it

 "All the what-ifs are always often far more interesting."

Neighbours' former script producer Shane Isheev has revealed the original outcome for the infamous Hotel Death Trap storyline. The shocking episodes saw numerous characters caught up in an explosion at Lassiters Hotel back in 2016, with several fatalities.

Among the victims were Josh Willis (Harley Bonner) and his grandfather Doug (Terence Donovan), who both tragically died in the horrific incident. However, according to Isheev, fans might have said goodbye to some completely different characters had Bonner not already been leaving the soap

Appearing on the Just Tak podcast, hosted by Takaya Honda (David Tanaka), Isheev was asked how stories on the soap were developed from their initial conception to their actual airing.

Legitimately, not one story that from its initial conception was the same to when it made it to screen," he replied. "Do you remember the hotel explosion? I won't go into what all the alternatives were, but that week started off very differently with what was gonna happen, who was gonna die and to what ended up being on screen."

The script producer shared that "the changes were dictated" by the "network", after deciding that they "didn't want that person to be killed off".

And then we found out that Harley was leaving so we decided to kill him off," he added. "Yeah there's all the what-ifs are always often far more interesting than what makes it to screen."

Elsewhere in the interview, Isheev addressed the planned earthquake storyline which was later scrapped when the show was cancelled in 2022. He shared that they had actually written the plot to explain location changes, as there was a possibility that they would lose the Lassiters backlot.

"Because there had been a real life earthquake in Melbourne around that time, you know what happens, all of a sudden... even if it's implausible to happen again, it's going to happen in there as well," he said.

It was to give other context, there was a very small chance - this might get me into trouble but I'm going to say it anyway - that we were going to lose the backlot from the people who owned the land."

He added that the earthquake storyline would have allowed them to "flatten and destroy that backlot" and have "really good production value", before finding "somewhere else" to film.

Richie decides the time has come to leave Summer Bay, while Harper’s new boyfriend shows his jealous side as Tane returns.

 

This week on Home and Away in Australia, Richie decides the time has come to leave Summer Bay, while Harper’s new boyfriend shows his jealous side as Tane returns.

Richie (Rocco Forrester-Sach) has been struggling to rebuild his life after losing his job with the police.

The former probationary constable recently faced the consequences of accidentally shooting boss David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor), as he panicked during a police operation.

The incident left David fighting for his life in hospital, whilst Richie was forced to attend a conduct commission hearing to determine if he had any future in the force.

As Richie prepared for the hearing, girlfriend Abigail (Hailey Pinto) wanted to be there to support him, but Richie ended their relationship, believing his life was falling apart and wanting to keep her out of the fallout.

The commission ultimately decided to terminate Richie’s employment and revoke his gun licence, bringing his short-lived dream career to an abrupt end after only a matter of weeks.

Richie was devastated, and later admitted to Abby that he had no idea what to do next, after losing the one job he’d always wanted.

Continuing to be there for Richie despite their breakup, Abby has already encouraged him to think about security work as a possible option—something close enough to his old career that it might offer him a way forward.

Abby is a kind-hearted person and was willing to stick by his side,” Rocco Forrester-Sach told TV Week.

“This kills Richie as he sees how much it’s hurting her to do so. He needs to screw his head back on, get his priorities straight and figure out the man he wants to be.”

“Anything can happen in Summer Bay,” Rocco continued. “But for Richie and Abby to ever come back together, Richie needs to do some thinking and reflecting on why everything went wrong.”

But next week, his plan quickly runs into trouble. Richie starts applying for jobs, only to discover that nobody wants to take him on without a reference.

That leaves Richie in a difficult position, given that the only person who would be able to provide that reference is the same person that he shot!

With his options quickly running out, Richie eventually makes a desperate plea to Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) instead, hoping he’ll agree to help.

Cash is stunned that he would even ask, and he doesn’t hold back as he gives him some brutal home truths—just like he didn’t think Richie was cut out to be a cop, he doesn’t believe that he’s suited to security work either.

It’s another crushing blow for Richie, who’s left feeling more hopeless than ever.

With Richie seeing no future for himself in Summer Bay, he reluctantly tells a devastated Abby that he’s leaving town.

Elsewhere in Summer Bay, Harper (Jessica Redmayne) has recently been swept up in getting to know Beau (Blake Richardson), unaware that his connection to Sonny (Ryan Bown) is hiding a dark secret.

Whilst young son Archie has been away in New Zealand with dad Tane (Ethan Browne), Harper’s made the most of her extra time by spending most of it with Beau, all the while believing that the man she’s seeing works as a physio.

In reality, Beau is a dealer who has been secretly supplying Sonny with steroids, as he resorts to desperate measures to speed up his recovery.

Next week, Harper remains oblivious to Beau’s double life, and is still enjoying the early excitement of their romance.

Harper has high hopes for this new love,” Jessica Redmayne told TV Week. “She takes Beau at face value.”

Keen to move things along, Beau has already planned a romantic escape for the two of them.

However, Harper’s priorities quickly change when she learns that Tane and Archie are on their way back to the bay.

After weeks away from from her little boy, Harper isn’t about to the miss the chance to spend some time with him, and turns down Beau’s getaway plans.

Beau doesn’t take the knockback well, and seeing Harper’s excitement over Archie’s return soon causes his charming demeanour to slip.

The following day, Tane arrives at the pier apartment with Archie, only to find a loved-up Harper with a shirtless Beau. 

Harper quickly fills Tane in on the new man she’s been seeing, whilst Beau spends some time playing with Archie.

But Tane isn’t ready to take Beau at face value quite so easily. With a stranger suddenly spending time around Harper and their son, he soon enlists Cash to help him get a read on the situation.

Cash later pays Harper and Beau a visit, hoping to get a better sense of Harper’s new man. Afterwards, he reports back to Tane that everything seems above board, and that he’s satisfied Beau isn’t raising any obvious red flags.

But once Cash has gone, Beau’s charm disappears. Rather than brushing off the visit, he turns on Harper and accuses her of allowing him to be interrogated.

Will Harper start seeing the warning signs before it’s too late?

Melissa George secretly welcomes fourth child at age 49 as she shares breastfeeding photo from French Riviera holiday

 Melissa George has secretly welcomed her fourth child. 

The Home and Away actress, 49, took to Instagram on Sunday revealing the surprise news in a joint post with former Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements.

The baby's name is not yet known, nor is the identity of the father. 

In the first photo, Melissa was seen breastfeeding her newborn son, while other photos featured snippets from their French Riviera travels.

The caption, written by Kirstie, explained that Melissa was currently on a road trip.

'@melissageorgeofficial From the maternity ward, straight into a Parisian heatwave (with a toddler…challenging) and now to an epic road trip through Provence and the Côte d’Azur, first stop @hotelcrillonlebrave,' she wrote, along with the captions, '#superwoman #motheroffoursons! #roadtrip #provence.'

Melissa George has secretly welcomed her fourth child

The Mulholland Drive star's update was met with an outpouring of congratulations and well wishes.

'Beautiful mother of 4,' photographer Julia Kovaljova wrote.

'Congratulations Melissa!' one fan added.

'Melissa!!! 4? Brava!!!! Tell me everything!' said another.

'She makes it look effortless,' a follower commented. 

Melissa's baby announcement comes more than two years after she welcomed her third son, Lyor, at age 47.

The Perth-born star shocked her social media followers in January 2024 when she confirmed she was pregnant with her third child.

Two months later, she took to Instagram to reveal she had delivered a baby boy and posted a black and white photo of the new arrival's feet.

The caption, written by Kirstie, explained that Melissa was currently on a road trip 

Other photos featured snippets from their French Riviera travels, including a few snaps of her third son...

Welcome to the world my little man,' the 30 Days of Night actress wrote at the time.

'Love knows no end. A mother of 3 sons. Cannot believe it. My heart is so full.'

However, the Perth-born star did not reveal the baby's name until much later. 

Melissa shares her sons, Raphaël, 12, and Solal, 11, with her ex-partner Jean-David Blanc, a French entrepreneur.

Due to a custody arrangement, their children can't leave France with their mother without their father's consent, which means she is now based in Paris.

Notoriously private Melissa hasn't revealed if she is in a relationship or who the father of her two youngest sons are.

She was previously married to Chilean furniture designer and film director Claudio Dabed from 2000 to 2011.
