Wednesday 15th April (Episode 8698) Brax is torn. Sonny reclaims some independence. Lacey’s caught in the crossfire.
Former Home and Away actress Sam Frost and her fiancé Jordie Hansen are selling their bushland getaway in Queensland.
No price has been listed for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom pad, which the couple renovated after snapping it up in 2023 for $1.185 million.
Located in Noosa Valley's Doonan locality, the pretty abode has a market valuation of $1.625 million and is located just 15 km from the famed beaches of the Sunshine Coast.
Frost, 37, and her 30-year-old Australian Survivor star partner are reportedly preparing to move into a larger home to accommodate their growing family.
The couple, who got engaged after the arrival of their first son Ted in March 2022, welcomed a second boy, Bobby, early last year.
Frost, who won The Bachelorette in 2015, and her long-time beau splashed out on a renovation of the one-level brick home.
Improvements included new flooring and a paint job, featuring creamy colours throughout the interiors.
Set on 2.3 acres (0.930777 hectares), the home is surrounded by native bush and inside features include vaulted ceilings and an open plan layout.
There is also a large outdoor timber entertainment deck, a large breakfast bar and a private office that can easily convert to a fourth bedroom.
Outside is a private dam, two rainwater tanks, and solar power and hot water.
Frost and Hansen bought their home in Queensland after the soap star sold her Sydney townhouse in 2023 for $1.59 million.
The sale was a $300,000 windfall for Frost, after originally purchasing the three-bathroom, three-bedroom multi-level home in 2016 for $1.2million.
Frost recently announced she was set to debut a new podcast called Cracking On with her Home and Away co-star Sarah Roberts.
The friends, who starred on the soap series together from late 2017 to 2021, shared the news on Instagram in March.
Cracking on. Coming soon,' they captioned an image which saw the pair sitting on a couch in the water at sunset.
Moments later, they shared a sneak peek at what's to come, as Frost said: 'The Cracking On podcast is all about life's big rejections and redirections.
'Anything that comes across in life that seems like it just hits you in the nuts.'
Frost and Roberts, 41, revealed they have already recorded episodes with several special guests, including soap stars Lynne McGranger and Emily Weir.
Australian comedian Nick Giannopoulos, actress Debra Lawrence, radio star Myf Warhurst, and McLeod's Daughters star Michala Banas will also make appearances.
The women became fast friends when they starred on Home and Away together after they both landed roles on the soap opera in late 2017.
Roberts, who played Willow Harris, later left the series in 2021, while Frost, who played Jasmine Delaney, exited the following year.
Pia Whitesell has shared a glimpse at her very expensive outfit on day three of Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
The Australian soap star, 42, took to Instagram Stories on Sunday with photos and videos of herself posing at the event, clad head-to-toe in designer labels.
Showcasing her svelte physique, the mother-of-two sported a white lace-trimmed silk mini dress by Magda Butrym, which retails for $3,260.
She paired the dress with a $3,550 black leather Balenciaga hobo bag and a pair of Bottega Veneta sunglasses worth $995.
Her ensemble also included a pair of black high leather boots by Fendi, which retail for $3460, and an assortment of gold jewellery including hoop earrings, a crucifix necklace and several bracelets.
Pia has been partying the week away at Coachella with her friends, including AFL WAGs Bec Judd and Jessie Murphy, radio host Lauren Phillips and publicist Gemma Sampson.
Her sons Isaiah, 22, and Lennox, 19, have also joined Pia for the festival.
On Saturday night, the Home And Away star uploaded several videos of herself dancing in the crowd as Justin Bieber performed his 90-minute set on the main stage.
Dressed in a black hoodie emblazoned with the word 'Bieberchella', the brunette was seen bouncing around and waving her hands to the music.
Her sons and several friends could be seen dancing alongside her in the crowd.
The sighting comes after US-based Pia enjoyed a short trip back home to Sydney, Australia.
She was spotted on several occasions while she was visiting, including during a designer shopping spree in Bondi with Lennox.
Pia's career skyrocketed in 2014 when she landed the role of Kat Chapman on Home and Away.
She went public with her relationship with Patrick Whitesell in late 2019, before the pair secretly tied the knot in 2021.
Patrick is the executive chairman of William Morris Endeavor and is considered one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, with clients including Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, and Ben Affleck.
He was previously married to journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is now wed to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Patrick shares two children – son Evan, 19, and daughter Ella, 17 – with Lauren, while Pia's sons are from two previous relationships.

What's next in Summer Bay?
Elsewhere, Remi undergoes the surgery that could save his life, and romance reignites between Sonny and Dana.
Here's a full collection of 14 massive moments.
Wanting to spend a moment with his young son, Tane takes Archie to the beach and says a heartbreaking goodbye.
Tane then returns Archie to Harper and the pair make their peace. They part on good terms, with Harper still unaware of what Tane is about to do.
Tane is told he will have around two days before the cops realise he's gone. He says his final goodbyes to Mackenzie, who reveals she's pregnant.

Brax tells Ricky he will suss the guy out before allowing him into their lives.
He drives to collect Tane, who is waiting on a bridge for him. Brax tells Tane he's got five minutes to convince him why he deserves to be helped.
As Brax begins to drive away, Tane steps in front of his ute and reveals how he's had to leave Archie behind.
Taking pity, Brax takes Tane back to his place. Tane is greeted by Ricky, who offers him a welcome drink.
After Lacey is given bail, Abigail rallies the Bay residents to show their support.
Mali is annoyed because he thinks Lacey needs space, but Abigail bites back by saying it isn't his business.
Dana catches up with Harper, then heads to Salt for a drink with John. He reveals Sonny has moved in with Cash and Eden and Dana is hurt that he didn't tell her he was out of rehab.
The next morning, John tricks Dana and Sonny into meeting at the Surf Club in the hope they can sort things out.
Sonny is so caught up in their chat that he ignores Remi's message. Remi feels neglected and tells his friend not to bother coming with him to hospital.
Later, Sonny is home alone when Dana calls over. He says sorry for all he's done and she responds by asking for a kiss. The couple are back on!
Dr Swan assures Levi that she's not nervous, even though this is one of the most challenging procedures she's ever attempted.
Remi is put under for preparation, then brought back to consciousness so his surgery can begin.

Brax soon arrives on the scene and tells Tane to be ready at six the following morning.
Afterwards, Tane joins Brax and Ricky on their boat, where he shows them a picture of Archie. It's a confronting moment for Brax, but Tane feels less alone.
Dr Swan asks for Remi's guitar, which he begins to play mid-operation to help indicate brain function.
Finally, Dr Swan is able to remove the tumour which she sends off for testing and Remi is put to sleep to complete the surgery.
Meanwhile, Jo learns that Tane's goodbye call came from Mac's phone. She confronts Mac and is able to learn that Tane is in Exmouth, Western Australia.
Jo wants to keep this information secret, but it's not long before Cash turns up at her door.
Both men are feeling restless, so Brax decides to put Tane to work mending fences.
It's not long before Ricky arrives with news there's a warrant out for Tane's arrest.

Levi concludes they should run some further neurological tests, but what will they find?
It’s the day of Vicki and Ross’s stag dos, Jasmine starts to feel part of the Slaters, and Bea makes a decision about her love life.
Nicole da Silva is headed to Summer Bay.
Home and Away has added an Aussie acting legend to its cast in a mysterious new role. Nicole da Silva, most famous for her role in prison drama Wentworth, has already begun filming what has been described as a regular role.
The actress, who previously appeared in one episode of the soap back in 2006, will play a doctor named Amelia Carlisle, a new arrival to Summer Bay.
Speaking to The West Australian, Nicole described having to keep her new role a secret, which was no mean feat given the enormous popularity of Wentworth down under.
"In the early days of filming up at Palm Beach (Home and Away’s set), I had fans come out of the woodwork, and I’d hear my name being called out (while on set).
"I tried to avoid their questions and the cameras, but unfortunately, there were whispers going around."
When asked about who her character will be interacting with, Nicole said: "I am not allowed to name names yet.
"It’s all a bit secret-squirrels, and an 'in the cone of silence' kind of situation.
"But all will be revealed soon — and I think audiences are going to get a real kick out of who I cross paths with in Summer Bay."
Following the end of Wentworth, Nicole starred in another popular Aussie series, Doctor Doctor, ending her run as Charlie Knight in 2021.
Explaining why she decided to join the cast of Home and Away, Nicole said: "My reasons are twofold, or maybe even threefold.
"To be honest, it was a great opportunity, and it came at exactly the right time: I am a single parent, and to be able to live and work in Sydney, where I am raising my daughter, meant we could stay around our community, (and be around) our friends and our family.
Wentworth, known as Wentworth Prison in the UK, ran from 2013 to 2021. It was a modern-day reimagining of 80s prison drama Prisoner.
The series was added to Channel 5's streaming service earlier this year, with all 100 episodes available to watch for free.
