Tuesday 17th February Episode 8661 Cash is shut out. Jo picks a side. Harper lashes out.
What's next in Summer Bay?
Coming up on Home and Away, Jo fights for survival, while Sonny fears he may never walk again. Elsewhere, Remi receives a life-changing diagnosis, Kerrie tries to turn Harper against Tane, and Mac is overjoyed to discover she's pregnant at last.
Here's a full collection of 13 massive moments to come.
Unable to find a pulse on Jo, Tane uses all of his strength to lift the weight of the collapsing roof and carry her to safety.
Jo is taken to hospital and placed in ICU. David rushes to be by his daughter's side, but doctors reveal that she isn't out of the woods yet.
A scan can't detect any injury to Sonny's spine, but as the week goes on and there's no improvement, both he and Dana are forced to face the possibility of him being permanently paralysed.
Meanwhile, Remi makes his way home, consumed with survivor guilt over making it out of the train alive when others didn't. But events take a frightening turn when Remi collapses to the ground with a violent seizure.
He's sent for a scan, where doctors discover Remi has a tumour on the brain.
Levi is forced to break the news to Remi, who demands to be discharged and makes Levi promise not to tell anyone else about his condition.
Later, Alf goes to see Justin and points out how much Leah is trying. However, the stress of discussing his ailing marriage causes Justin to suffer physical pain.
As traumatic memories from the crash resurface, Justin asks Alf not to discuss Leah with him again.
Abigail is still hiding the extent of the arm injury she sustained in the crash, but Mali suspects she's in more pain than she's letting on.
He confronts his girlfriend, who insists the doctors can't help her. How much longer will Abigail suffer in silence?
In that moment, all Levi's stress and tiredness is forgotten as he and Mac share a hug, excited about their future.
When Kerrie challenges Harper, she reminds her mum that Tane doesn't want her left alone with Archie and reveals she shares those feelings.
Harper points out she has every reason to distrust Kerrie, as she recalls a time where she abandoned her and Dana, leaving them to fend for themselves for a week.
Abigail faces her fears
Eventually, Abigail agrees to get an x-ray, which confirms that her arm is broken.
Levi reassures his sister, explaining he will get her proper help and ensure she doesn't get hooked on meds.
Eddie is by Jo's side as she finally regains consciousness and he is overjoyed when she accepts his marriage proposal.
But something about Eddie's story still isn't adding up for Lacey, who decides to ask Tane for his version of events.
She then heads to the Diner, where Marilyn is babysitting Archie. Kerrie opens up about the past and sympathetic Marilyn allows her to cuddle her grandson.
When Tane discovers what's going on, he's straight over to the Diner. Harper soon joins them and Kerrie plays the victim, making out Tane behaved aggressively towards her.
Meanwhile, Lacey warns Jo that it was Tane – not Eddie – who carried her to safety off the train.
Jo summons Tane to the hospital, and is about to get his version of events when Eddie barges in. His guilty secret remains safe, but for how long?
When Marilyn reveals Kerrie lied about Tane making threats, Harper defends her ex, leaving Kerrie to storm off in a huff.
Next morning, an apologetic Kerrie insists she wants to start afresh, but Harper warns the only way that will happen is if she calls a truce with Tane.
Ada Nicodemou wasn't shy about flashing her huge engagement ring as she stepped out on Sunday—a day after her Home and Away co-star James Stewart proposed to her on Valentine's Day.
The actress showed off the sparker as the happy couple enjoyed a barbecue with family the day after the proposal.
The pair were joined by James' daughter, Scout, as they celebrated the news.
Ada, 48, stuck with the romance theme as she slipped into a sexy red dress for the outing.
She accessorised with her dazzling new rock, which is estimated to be worth over $100,000.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, master jeweller Ernesto Buono says that James could have splashed as much as $150,000 on Ada's rock.
Describing the style as a 'classic solitaire', the Italian-born craftsman estimated the size of the diamond to be between three and four carats.
Buono, who has over three decades' experience as a jeweller, added: 'The band looks like yellow gold, worth about 18 carats.'
Based on the photos the couple shared on Instagram, Buono described the ring as featuring either a brilliant or cushion cut diamond.
For their day out, Ada let her cropped dark hair fall over her shoulders, and accessorised with a luxury watch, dark sunglasses and a Chloe tote bag.
The soap star completed her look with a pair of studded sandals.
Meanwhile, her husband-to-be opted for a casual look for their celebration, wearing blue denim cut-off shorts, a white open-neck polo shirt and matching sand shoes.
Ada and James announced their engagement over the weekend.
On Sunday, James, 50, shared a precious clip to social media that captured the heartfelt moment he got down on one knee and proposed to Ada in public.
James beamed in the sweet footage as he was seen sharing a heartfelt vow to Ada, who joyfully accepted the proposal by leaning in and giving her partner a huge kiss.
Moments after Ada accepted, their friends and family were seen in the background cheering on the exciting news.
Ada and James then shared a beaming photo for the camera in which she flaunted her eye-popping diamond engagement ring.
Many of their celebrity friends took to the comments section to offer their well wishes.
'Omg I'm crying! World's biggest congratulations. You beautiful couple,' gushed Kyly Clarke.
'THE BEST,' added Liz Cantor.
In October 2024, Ada revealed how her Home and Away co-stars discovered her off-screen relationship with James Stewart.
The soap opera stars, whose characters are married on the Channel Seven show, were first linked when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day 2024 before Ada confirmed their romance in a magazine interview.
Ada said she was dating her longtime co-star James in a magazine interview, describing their romance as 'unexpected'.
'Jimmy and I are together, yes. It's only early days. It's very recent and unexpected. I'm super happy. It's really lovely,' she told Stellar Magazine.
But she insisted their Home and Away characters, Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan, getting married on-screen was not an early sign of their real-life romance.
The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner, Adam Rigby, just before Christmas last year, and James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
Congratulations are in order for Home and Away stars Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart who have announced their engagement after two years of dating. The happy news was first shared by Ada on Instagram, who posted a video of James getting down on one knee in a park and presenting her with a huge diamond ring.
Ada captioned the post, which was soundtracked with Lonestar's 'Amazing': "I said yes!!!", and the couple's friends and family could be heard clapping and cheering in the background.
James also shared the video on his Instagram account and wrote: "She said yes."
Lynne McGranger, who starred in Home and Away for over 30 years before her exit last year, congratulated the couple in the comments, writing: "Oh my heart!! So thrilled for both of you!! Of course Jimmy proposed and you said yes!!! on Valentines Day!! Excellent news!! Wishing you guys every happiness always."
While the soap's official account wrote: "THE MOST WONDERFUL NEWS."
Home and Away lovers Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart have announced their engagement, after almost two years of dating.
On Sunday, James, 50, shared a precious clip to social media which captured the heartfelt moment he got down on one knee and proposed to Ada, 48, in public.

The soap opera stars, whose characters are married on the Channel Seven show, were first linked earlier this year when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day 2024 before Ada confirmed their romance in a magazine interview.
Speaking on Mamamia's No Filter podcast, the actress revealed she had only told a small group of people that she was 'close with' on set before 'word got around' about the couple's off-screen relationship.
'I figured I didn't need to tell anyone else,' she explained.
'We didn't need a group email, people just worked it out.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Ada admitted growing feelings for her television co-star James was 'weird' at first.

Jimmy and I have known each other for 25 to 30 years and there were no feelings for a really, really long time. So I was shocked when I started having feelings,' she said.
'There was this chemistry for the first time — this spark that happened that wasn't there before and it was weird.'
In July 2024, Ada finally broke her silence on her romance with James after months of speculation.
The lovebirds were first linked earlier this year when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day that year.
It has since been claimed that things are getting serious between the pair and they are considering moving in together - but they remained tight-lipped about their romance.
Ada confirmed she was dating her longtime co-star James in a magazine interview, describing their romance as 'unexpected'.
'Jimmy and I are together, yes. It's only early days. It's very recent and unexpected. I'm super happy. It's really lovely,' she told Stellar Magazine.
But she insisted their Home And Away characters Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan getting married on-screen was not an early sign of their real-life romance.
The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner Adam Rigby just before Christmas last year and James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.
It seemed that Jo (Maddison Brown) had finally settled on a partner this week, after putting her burgeoning romance with Tane (Ethan Browne) on hold following the surprise arrival of ex-boyfriend Eddie (Stephen Madsen).
Jo had called things off with Eddie nearly three years ago, as she struggled in the wake of the accident that claimed her mother Kristina’s (Fiona Noonan) life.
It was only once Eddie resurfaced in Summer Bay that her dad David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) revealed the full picture—before the accident, Eddie had already asked both him and Kristina for their blessing to propose to Jo.
In the end, the decision was taken out of Jo’s hands. As she asked a fed-up Tane out for a coffee, he suggested that remaining friends would be for the best.
Yet when Jo told Lacey that she was now with Eddie, Lacey couldn’t help but feel that her sister was settling for second-best.
Next week, excited by the news that Eddie will be performing at the Off the Rails festival—and with Sonny (Ryan Bown) able to provide complimentary tickets—Jo invites Lacey to join them in Broken Hill. To her surprise, Lacey declines, claiming it’s not really her thing, before saying she wouldn’t be able to get the time off work.
Back at the Beach House, Lacey is reflective as she asks David about the circumstances surrounding Jo and Eddie’s original break-up. She’s taken aback to learn that Eddie, whilst devastated, seemingly just accepted Jo’s decision to end things and walked away.
The conversation also gives David pause, prompting him to question whether his own encouragement may have nudged Jo back towards Eddie before she was certain it was what she truly wanted.
Drawing on his own marriage to Kristina, he explains that when he was certain, he had no doubts—and admits he may have been too eager in pushing her to get back with Eddie.
Ultimately, he tells Jo the only thing that matters is whether she feels sure.
Tane is visibly caught off guard—he was the one who suggested they remain friends, believing that was what she wanted. But before Jo can fully explain why she’s come to him, Eddie calls, cutting the conversation short and forcing her to leave.
After he invites Jo to join him on the party train, Jo’s eyes wander up to meet Tane’s.
She tells Tane they need to keep their distance, reaffirming that staying friends is for the best.
It’s not his decision to make, he states—the circumstances are different now, and so is Jo. Ultimately, he tells Eddie, the only thing that matters is whether Jo wants the same future he does.
When Justin learned of the accusation, he was blind-sided. He confronted Leah, pointing out how much he had supported Theo over the years, but she shut him down.
Accepting he was getting nowhere, Justin decided to give her the space she kept asking for and threw himself back into work with Back on Track Records.
After several days away, Justin pops into the diner, explaining to Alf (Ray Meagher) that they’ll now be heading to the city. When Leah asks who “they” means, Justin replies that he’s going with Remi and Sonny.
It’s only then that she realises where he’s actually been spending his time—and she’s visibly annoyed.
It’s not long before Leah comes across one of the flyers, realising that Justin lied to her. She confronts Justin and, predictably enough, announces that she’ll be coming with him too. She wants to be there for Sonny.
Still determined, Leah later seeks out Sonny, and asks outright whether Justin’s claim is true.
Put on the spot, Sonny feels unable to confirm it, and ultimately agrees that there’s no reason she couldn’t come to the festival to support her husband.
A quiet word from Alf does nothing to break Leah’s resolve, but when she later runs into Lacey, the conversation begins to shift her thinking.
Lacey, who has now decided to accompany Jo on the train after all, gently suggests that honouring Theo’s memory doesn’t mean holding everything in place—that sometimes moving forward is part of that process.
Instead of heading to Yabbie Creek to board the train, Leah makes a last-minute decision not to go after all.
Among the other revellers are Isaac (Jordan Dulieu) and his mate Holden (Lach Millar), who quickly make their presence known.
When she finally calls from the train, the conversation quickly descends into an argument, with Abby defending her decision to have fun—while Mali is left hurt that she’s forgotten the significance of the day.
She’s caught off guard and unable to give him an answer, asking for some time to think. Eddie assures her he’s prepared to wait.
Meanwhile, Justin sees Leah’s name flash up on his phone and, still hurt by everything that’s been said, chooses not to answer—unaware she’s calling to try and make amends.
As the engine slams into the tunnel wall, it tips over onto its side, dragging the rest of the train with it!
Glass shatters and debris flies, and the passengers are violently thrown against the side of the carriages as they fall.
As the train comes to a stop, the glow of the emergency lights reveal the carnage inside, as several residents including Abby, Remi, Dana and Mac lie unconscious.
