Home and Away Spoilers – The battle to save Eden’s life begins

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Eden begins blood transfusions as the race to save her life begins, while David organises for Lacey and Jo to have dinner with Amelia – what could go wrong?

Weeks of exhaustion and dizzy spells for Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) led to a shocking diagnosis last week, after Eden collapsed in Salt.

Rushed to hospital with husband Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) by her side, Eden underwent a series of tests which revealed an abnormal heartbeat and low blood-cell counts.

When Cash later noticed extensive bruising across her back, Amelia (Nicole da Silva) arranged an urgent bone marrow biopsy.

The results revealed that Eden has aplastic anaemia—a rare and potentially fatal condition in which her bone marrow has stopped producing enough new blood cells.

Next week, Amelia begins blood transfusions to relieve Eden’s symptoms whilst they wait for a haematologist to determine the best course of treatment.

Cash then breaks the news to Eden’s siblings, Levi (Tristan Gorey) and Abigail (Hailey Pinto). Abby is initially relieved to hear that Eden does not have cancer, but quickly realises from Levi’s reaction that the diagnosis remains extremely serious.

At Eden’s bedside, Levi focuses on the positives. She’s young and otherwise healthy, and treatment for the disorder continues to improve. However, when the two are left alone later on, Eden admits that she’s terrified and asks her brother to promise that she will recover.

Levi can’t give her the reassurance she wants, but vows that the family will support her through whatever lies ahead.

After heading home to collect some clothes for Eden, Cash calls in at the police station to request some leave.

David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) initially explains that it’s a difficult time, but his attitude immediately changes when Cash reveals that Eden’s seriously ill.

When David tries to establish how much time he needs, Cash’s fear boils over and he declares that he’ll resign if necessary.

Rather than taking offence, David leads him into the interview room, where Cash admits that he’s terrified of losing his wife and blames himself for failing to notice her symptoms.

David reassures Cash that he mustn’t torture himself over what he missed and promises to arrange as much leave as he needs. He also checks that Cash has support around him and urges him to reach out if there’s anything else he can do.

Remi (Adam Rowland) also struggles with the news. After learning that Eden could die, he demands answers from Amelia and lashes out when she explains that they must wait for the specialist.

Remi later recalls how Eden supported him throughout his brain tumour and confesses to Mackenzie (Emily Weir) that he now feels powerless to return the favour, before apologising to Amelia for his behaviour.

Remi turns to whisky at Salt, and when he spots Amelia come in, he asks what it will take to make Eden better, telling her he’ll spare no expense. Amelia reminds him that neither money nor anger can produce an instant solution.

If he truly wants to help Eden, he needs to remain clear-headed and be ready to support her through the difficult days ahead.

Eden’s medical emergency also threatens to derail Amelia’s first official date with David.

After spending the night caring for Eden, Amelia loses track of time and leaves David waiting for breakfast at Salt. With his calls unanswered, David leaves a voicemail and returns to work.

Jo (Maddison Brown) and Lacey (Sophea Pennington) spot their father leaving in his favourite shirt, and soon learn from Mac that whoever he was meeting failed to appear.

Whilst Jo believes Amelia must have a reasonable explanation, Lacey still doesn’t trust her dad’s new love interest, and suspects she’s playing games.

David’s conversation with Cash at the station provides the first clue to Amelia’s absence. When she finally calls and explains that a seriously ill patient has required her attention all night, David realises that she’s been caring for Eden.

He immediately understands, although he attempts to dismiss their missed breakfast as a casual catch-up—prompting Amelia to point out that she believed it was their first official date.

David later finds Amelia as she finishes her shift at the hospital and offers to find her something to eat. Despite having survived on little more than a stale muesli bar all night, Amelia decides that sleep can wait and joins him for fish and chips on the beach.

The relaxed setting soon puts the earlier confusion behind them. Amelia admits that, having initially struggled to imagine remaining in Summer Bay, she’s now reluctant to leave.

David understands the feeling, noting that the town has a habit of drawing people in.

Unfortunately, their date is interrupted when they run into Jo and Lacey. Amelia makes a quick exit, leaving David to face another interrogation from his daughters.

Although Lacey remains uneasy about seeing her father move on, Jo suggests that the problem is simply that Amelia is still a stranger to her.

David therefore arranges a dinner for all four of them at Salt.

Amelia jokes that meeting his daughters is even more intimidating than meeting someone’s parents, whilst David teases that she should reserve judgement on their new relationship until the meal is over.

The evening soon becomes livelier as Amelia recalls the unusual emergencies she encountered during a rural placement. She and Jo bond over their belief that full moons bring chaos to hospitals, whilst David is rather less convinced.

However, their easy rapport leaves Lacey feeling excluded. She privately acknowledges to David that he clearly likes Amelia and tells him that it is all right, but her discomfort suggests that accepting the new romance may take time.

Elsewhere, Zane (Angus McColl) is continuing to find his feet in Summer Bay following his release from prison.

Marilyn (Emily Symons)—who became Zane’s pen-pal during the final year of his decade-long sentence—believes he deserves a fresh start, but Alf (Ray Meagher) remains wary of having him under the same roof.

Next week, Marilyn helps Zane organise a phone, as well as a bank account and the paperwork he needs for his new job at the diner. With the practicalities taken care of, she encourages Alf to make an effort with their new housemate—but Alf suddenly finds plenty to occupy himself with at the surf club.

When he later chooses to eat at the diner rather than return home, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) accuses him of avoiding Zane. Alf insists that he’s only being cautious, prompting Leah and Marilyn to try and force a way for the two to spend some time together.

They stage a surprise lunch at Summer Bay House and strategically seat Zane beside Alf.

John (Shane Withington), who Marilyn deliberately excluded because of his own attitude towards Zane, soon turns up uninvited and inadvertently offers Alf a means of escape. However, Justin (James Stewart) escorts John away and leaves Alf to endure the rest of the gathering.

Afterwards, Zane can see that the lunch was a set-up and offers to move out, having realised that his presence is making Alf uncomfortable in his own home. Alf avoids answering directly and instead asks Zane to help him at the bait shop—the clearest indication yet that he may genuinely be prepared to give him a chance.

The time together appears to make a difference. The following morning, Alf thanks Zane for his help, accepts his offer of tea and advises him on joining the electoral roll.

He later admits to Justin that he may have judged Zane too quickly and concedes that Marilyn could be right about him, although he still intends to keep a close eye on the situation.

Zane is encouraged by the change and even considers using his first wages to buy a fishing rod from Alf’s shop.

However, Alf clearly isn’t ready to relax completely.

When Roo (Georgie Parker) phones and asks him to come to Merimbula for Martha’s birthday the following week, he claims that he has too much happening in Summer Bay to leave, something that Marilyn’s quick to pull him up on.

It seems Zane won’t be escaping Alf’s watchful eye just yet!

Home and Away star speaks out as two emotional exits are confirmed

 "This one was very real and raw."

Home and Away star Jessica Redmayne has spoken out following her character Harper Matheson's exit from the Australian soap. Sisters Harper and Dana Matheson (played by Ally Harris) left the show in scenes that aired in Australia this week.

Harper decided to leave Summer Bay and begin a new life with her son, Archie, and Dana, after being hunted down by her abusive ex-boyfriend, Beau.

Despite Beau being arrested by police, Harper knew she would never feel safe in the town and decided to start again somewhere new.

Speaking to TV Week, Jessica shared how "sad" it was to see Harper leave under these circumstances, but said she was "grateful" to have played the part since 2023.

It’s, of course, sad to see Harper go - especially on terms like these - but I’m grateful as Jessica the actor to have experienced the immense challenge," she explained. "I particularly love telling true stories, and this one was very real and raw."

Discussing the importance of the storyline, she continued: "This story is so devastatingly prevalent within our Australian communities as domestic violence in Australian families is at an all-time high.

"It was certainly difficult to embody a woman who has found herself in a psychologically toxic and physically violent relationship that she can’t escape."

Jessica went on: "Truthfully, it did leave me feeling uneasy as I left set each day. But that is the job of an actor, as it is paramount that these stories get told in Australian homes in order to shed light on the true dangers Australian families are facing from domestic violence."

She also heaped praise on her co-star Lynne McGranger, who plays Irene, describing saying goodbye to the character as a "career highlight."

On working with Ally, she added: "I’m incredibly lucky to call Ally my on-screen sister. That girl is so talented, and she taught me a lot.

"She kept me calm and we became a wonderful support system for each other. I couldn’t have done it without her."

Next year’s Home and Away will se Is a Home and Away wedding and love triangle on the way in 2027?

Heartbreakingly, Mackenzie suffered two miscarriages, and the pair haven’t yet found the strength to discuss whether to try another round of IVF.

 Next year’s Home and Away will see Mackenzie and Levi get engaged, but Imogen’s return and a bombshell crush from seven years ago will jeopardise their future together.

2026 has been a rare year in Summer Bay – there’s not been a single wedding, and we’re not expecting any before this year’s Season Finale.

2025 saw Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) finally get married, while April 2024 saw Leah (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin (James Stewart) tie the knot.

Before that, in 2023, Home and Away celebrated 8000 episodes with the wedding of Tane (Ethan Browne) and Felicity (Jacqui Purvis), after their failed attempt in 2022’s Season Finale.

Meanwhile. 2022 saw a bittersweet wedding for Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) and Mia (Anna Samson), marrying at Northern Districts Hospital while Ari was on his deathbed.

2021 saw Tori Morgan (Penny McNamee) and Christian Green (Ditch Davey) marry shortly before departing for London, while 2020 saw stalwart Alf (Ray Meagher) marry Martha (Belinda Giblin) for the second time, after the revelation that she’d faked her own death back in 1985.

In short, an annual wedding is a staple in the Summer Bay calendar – 2018 even had two sets of nuptials, as both Colby (Tim Franklin) and Chelsea (Ashleigh Brewer), and Brody Morgan (Jackson Heywood) and Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman) tied the knot.

But while 2026 has had two engagements, both were swiftly called off, making it the first year since 1998 without anyone making it down the aisle!

Jo (Maddison Brown) accepted Eddie’s (Stephen Madsen) proposal shortly after the crash which ended the 2025 season, but broke things off after discovering that he’d left the derailed train while she was still on it, and that Tane was actually the one to save her.

More recently, Dana (Ally Harris) proposed to Sonny (Ryan Bown) at the start of August, after Sonny accidentally missed her first attempt.

Yet while the pair had an engagement party and Dana even began planning their nuptials, they ended their relationship earlier this week as Dana departed the bay for a fresh start with sister Harper (Jessica Redmayne).

Now, normality looks set to return in 2027, with Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Levi (Tristan Gorey) getting engaged – that is, if they can get over a few major speed bumps.

A photo from filming on 19th August, uploaded to the Home and Away Spoilers & Info Facebook group, revealed Mac and Levi’s engagement when actress Emily Weir was spotted filming a scene whilst wearing an engagement ring.

However, whether they’ll make it down the aisle remains to be seen, as Mackenzie is set for numerous bombshells in the first half of next year.

As we reported last month, Mackenzie and Levi’s relationship is set for a major upheaval when Levi’s ex-wife Imogen (Georgia Blizzard) returns with a young child!

Cardiothoracic surgeon Levi ended his relationship with wife Imogen some two years ago, after falling for Mackenzie when he was brought in to treat her heart condition at Northern Districts Hospital.

While Levi had been reluctant to start a family with Imogen, last year saw him and Mackenzie began trying for a baby, before resorting to IVF when Mac struggled to conceive.

With Imogen returning to Summer Bay with a young girl who looks around the age of two – and Levi spotted interacting with the girl during a scene on the beach – it seems almost certain that she’ll be breaking the news that she was pregnant when they split, and has been raising their child in secret.

You know it’s so easy for her to just waltz in here and tell me … [unclear] … family. How is any of this fair on me?” Mackenzie vents to close friend Tane.

Yet Tane seems disinterested in Mackenzie’s complaints, prompting her to check that he’s actually listening to her.

After a surprisingly curt response from Tane, which is difficult to work out in the YouTube clip, Mackenzie replies: “What was I supposed to do? Tell Levi [unclear] and just get over it?”

Yeah, you know what…” Tane starts.

“What?” Mac interrupts.

While Tane’s response can’t be heard in the clip, it clearly takes Mackenzie by surprise, as she replies: “Excuse me?”

After another cold response from Tane, Mac continues: “I am! I mean I’m trying to, but it’s very hard,” before adding, “I’m not doing this…”

While Mac looks set to struggle with Imogen’s return, it doesn’t look like Levi’s baby bombshell will be enough to end her their relationship, as scenes filmed last week revealed that Mackenzie is still planning her wedding.

However, that’s when the next bombshell arrives, and it could well explain Tane’s cold nature in the above scene.

Back in 2020, when Mackenzie was just embarking on her relationship with Ari Parata, she began developing feelings for his brother Tane, which almost brought her and Ari’s fledgling relationship to an abrupt end.

The pair even briefly shared a kiss in May 2021, as a drunk Mac rebounded after Ari broke up with her.

However, Tane was with Ziggy at the time and pushed Mackenzie away, before immediately admitting to Ziggy what had happened.

Since then, Mac and Tane have gone on to develop a close friendship, and it’s been years since the writers hinted at any lingering feelings between them.

After briefly dating Ziggy, Tane eventually married Felicity, before having a baby with Harper, and more recently getting into a short-lived relationship with newcomer Jo Langham.

Meanwhile, after the breakdown of her relationship with Ari, Mac went on to date Logan Bennett (Harley Bonner), before finally finding happiness with Levi.

Now, Home and Away looks set to re-explore Mac and Tane’s feelings some seven years later. The scene in question, filmed just last week, sees Mackenzie run up behind Tane, stopping him in his tracks as he tries to get away from her.

What are you doing? You said you’d try…” Mac can be heard saying in the clip uploaded to the R&F Adventures 2.0 YouTube channel.

As the scene continues, Mac stops Tane as he walks away, asking him: “What are you saying? That you’re gonna pull out of my wedding?”

After nodding, Tane explains: “Listen to me.”

After some dialogue which can’t be made out, he continues: “I can’t [unclear]. Everything’s changed, alright?  I can’t stand beside you at your wedding and put on a happy face!”

“Why? Why not?” Mackenzie asks, becoming increasingly animated.

Because I have feelings for you!” Tane explains loudly, as Mackenzie reacts with shock. “I have feelings for you, okay?

It’s clear that Mackenzie has no idea of Tane’s hidden feelings, as she puts her arm on him and tries to shut him down.

“Please, don’t do this. Don’t say this, don’t say this. Don’t!” she replies, and after the conversation briefly continues, Tane walks away.

What am I gonna say to Levi?” Mackenzie calls after him, before Tane tells her he doesn’t know, and she should just lie.

“You’re good at that!” he finishes before leaving Mac alone and shellshocked.

In a scene filmed later on the same day, Tane is seen sitting at the beach alone, before being approached by Mac.

What causes Tane’s feelings for Mackenzie to return isn’t yet clear, but could Mac turn to her former crush for emotional support – and perhaps more – after the revelation that her fiancé has a child with his ex-wife?

These scenes will air in early 2027, so we’ve got a little while to wait until we find out exactly what’s going down, but it looks like next year will be another dramatic one in Summer Bay.

Will Mac and Levi make it down the aisle?
