Remi’s got big plans for Eddie. David gets a blast from the past. Tane and Jo fight fate.
Somebody proves to be a nuisance...
Home and Away has confirmed that Tane Parata will be involved in a love triangle after a new character arrives in Summer Bay. Will he have an easy decision to make, or will romance prove to be a tricky path to navigate?
In scenes that have aired in Australian pace, Tane has explored a potential relationship with Jo Langham. Though not an official couple yet, the pair's bond seems strong, with a full-fledged romance possibly being on the cards in the future.
A spanner will be thrown in the works this week, however, as Jo comes face-to-face with former flame Eddie Shepherd. He arrives in Summer Bay to meet with Remi Carter and Sonny Baldwin, harbouring an intention to join their record label.
Eddie subsequently bumps into Jo's father David, and he promptly asks him how she is getting on. David informs him of the various developments, and invites him over in a bid to improve Jo and Lacey's moods.
David loves his daughters with all his heart," said Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, who plays David, to TV Week. "They are his everything. Lacey agreed to move in with him and Jo, and this way they can look after her and finally come together as a family."
Jo and Eddie reconnect as they talk about their past, with Lacey watching on intently. Eddie shares that he intends to stay in the area, and informs her about his meeting with Remi and Sonny at the record label.
His mood gets considerably worse as he spots Jo walking with Eddie along the beach, making him wonder if their romance is already over. Will he make a grand declaration, or will he fade into the background while Eddie is around?

"This job has given me everything."
Hollyoaks star Nadine Mulkerrin has confirmed her future in the soap in the aftermath of the huge 30th anniversary week. Her character Cleo McQueen played an important role in the plane crash disaster that claimed the lives of at least three villagers, but there is much more drama to come in the weeks to follow.
Cleo faced grave danger when the aircraft carrying Clare and Jez tore through the village, but she was saved by Dodger – who then confessed his love for her.
Sienna overheard this shocking admission and was heartbroken to learn that her girlfriend and twin brother kissed while she was being held hostage in the Love Boat by Jez.
This very complicated situation is yet to be resolved, but it had to be put to the side for the time being, as in the aftermath of the plane crash, pregnant Cleo realised that she was going into labour early.
We will have to wait until next week to find out what happens to Cleo and her baby, but this is the latest dramatic plot for Nadine, who had reached the milestone of ten years on Hollyoaks.
Speaking exclusively to us about spending a decade on the show, Nadine laughed: "It’s funny, when I look back at the pictures, I look like a baby!
"This job has given me everything – the ability to buy a property, friend for life, a career, the love of my life, my two kids, and I’m still getting challenged with brilliant storylines."
But does Nadine want to stick around in the iconic village for another ten years? It appears that she doesn’t intend to leave anytime soon.
"Honestly, I feel very happy – why the heck not?" she told us. "I would still love to go off and try other things eventually, but life is about feeling fulfilled – and right now, that is truly how I feel."
Nadine’s real-life partner Rory Douglas-Speed recently left his role in Hollyoaks but his legacy remains, as his character Joel is the father of Cleo’s baby.
It does feel quite weird, this parallel universe that me and Rory live in," Nadine said. "It’s fitting that he left me with a parting gift, pregnant with his child! And it’s odd that it’s a boy, as we have two boys in real life!"
"That's a chapter of my life that's done."
Former Home and Away legend Kate Ritchie has devastated soap fans after confirming that she has no future plans to return to the show.
Known for her role as Sally Fletcher on the Australian soap, Ritchie joined Home and Away in 1988 before leaving in 2008. She made a brief guest appearance back in 2013.
Since then, rumours have circulated that Ritchie might return to the role, though she has now revealed that those rumours are untrue. In news that is sure to upset fans of the soap, Ritchie said she has no plans to head back to the Bay any time soon.
Appearing on her regular radio show Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie today, Ritchie told her co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli that the show didn't need her anymore.
"The show is doing so well, it doesn't need Sally anymore," she said, adding that the show has "moved on" and that Sally has a "nice life somewhere".
While discussing a possible return, Ritchie seemingly remained open to the idea, saying she might come back "if asked", but she soon talked herself out of it, saying: "That's a chapter of my life that's done."
Elsewhere in the show, Ritchie said she has been approached by producers "numerous times" who were attempting to gauge her interest in a comeback.
She also revealed that she doesn't have much time to watch the soap, saying: "I think I sat down maybe about five years ago and watched one episode, but I couldn't bear seeing other people living in my house and sitting on my couch for a while."
Speaking to TV Week last year, Ritchie opened up about the rumours, confirming that a return for Sally is "not [happening] any day soon", adding that she isn't opposed to going back one day.
"They didn't kill me off so I guess I could probably head back one day, but it feels like a lifetime ago now," she said. "And it's very well looked after without me there, so I don't think so."
Home and Away has released the first information on this year’s Season Finale, which is expected to air in late November.
It looks like we’re in for a shocking end to the year, as a train crash leaves our favourites fighting for their lives.
Wednesday 22nd October saw Channel 7’s annual ‘Upfronts’ event, where the network showcases its new and returning programming to advertisers and investors.
As part of the presentation, attendees saw a promo for the Home and Away 2025 Season Finale, which revealed the dramatic storyline taking place in the show’s final episodes of the year.
According to TV Tonight, Emily Weir (Mackenzie Booth) teased that the episodes would feature a “never-before-attempted” stunt which would keep fans hooked to their screens.
The promo then showed a number of Summer Bay favourites on a train carriage, which went on to crash inside a tunnel.
The crash left our favourites trapped inside the tunnel, with their lives on the line.
Outside, Sergeant David Langham (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) and other members of the emergency services jumped into action and risked their own lives as they attempted to rescue them.
Why so many of our Home and Away favourites are on a train together, or what causes it to crash, remains to be seen.
The promo hasn’t yet been released to the public, but TV Tonight claims that Seven is expected to release the video “soon”.
A train crash featuring in this year’s finale has been rumoured for a number of months, after a large amount of the cast headed to Cowra for filming.
Back in July, a number of the Home and Away cast headed to Cowra, a four-hour drive from central Sydney, in the Central West region of New South Wales.
While there, they filmed a number of scenes at the Lachlan Valley Railway Heritage Centre, prompting fans to wonder whether a train-related incident may feature in upcoming episodes.
Based on the fact that the show films a few months in advance, the date of the filming led fans to speculate that the scenes would feature in this year’s finale.
A large number of cast were at the shoot, with residents of Cowra claiming to have seen Tristan Gorey (Levi), Nicholas Cartwright (Cash) and Ethan Browne (Tane).
A since-deleted post on the ‘Supporters of Lachlan Valley Railway’ Facebook group featured a photo from inside a train carriage which appeared to include James Stewart (Justin), Ryan Bown (Sonny), Ally Harris (Dana) and Maddison Brown (Jo).
Also believed to be at the shoot were Adam Rowland (Remi), Sophea Pennington (Lacey) and Maddison Brown (Jo), as well as new cast members Lach Millar and Stephen Madsen.
Stephen Madsen’s character Eddie arrived in this week’s Australian episodes as the first musician to sign up to Remi’s new Back on Track record label.
A promo then revealed that he’s the ex-boyfriend of Jo Langham, and his arrival is set to cause drama for brand new couple Jo and Tane
In mid-September, Maddison Brown posted on Instagram from the railway workshops behind Seven’s studios in Eveleigh, in Sydney’s Inner South.
With filming focused around various train yards, it was all but certain that a train-related event would feature in this year’s Home and Away season finale – a fact that has now been confirmed by Seven’s Upfronts event.
After a year which has already seen Theo (Matt Evans) die, could the incident take the lives of yet more Summer Bay favourites?
Intriguingly, new photos from Palm Beach have emerged this week, showing Sonny using a wheelchair.
A photo in the Home and Away Spoilers & Info group on Facebook shows Sonny and John (Shane Withington) talking outside the Surf Club, with Sonny in a wheelchair.
Could Sonny’s injuries be as a result of the crash?
The date of this year’s finale hasn’t yet been confirmed, but it’s expected to air in late November.
Every year, Home and Away takes a roughly six-week break from both UK and Australian screens, with the final episode of the year typically airing in late November, before the show returns in early January.
Last year’s final episode aired on Wednesday 20th November 2024, and saw Eden’s (Stephanie Panozzo) new boyfriend Tim Russell (George Pullar) left for dead.
When a dazed and confused Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) came to, with blood on his hands and Tim unconscious next to him, we were left wondering whether Cash was to blame for Tim’s injuries.
UK viewers are approximately 6 weeks behind Australian episodes, and in recent years, the show has filmed a separate finale to air before Channel 5 takes its own break over the festive period.
This year, the wedding of Cash and Eden forms the basis for the UK’s final week, with the final episode of the year airing on Friday 21st November.
The final UK scene of the year, which aired in Australia in early October, sees Theo (Matt Evans) mown down by Councillor Wendell’s (Justin Smith) car.
UK viewers will have to wait until January to learn Theo’s fate.
The Australian Season Finale of Home and Away is expected to air in late November.
