Things go from bad to worse for Richie.
Home and Away has revealed the aftermath of the soap's shock shooting storyline. In episodes that have already aired in Australia, David Langham was confirmed to be the victim of a shooting by new police officer Richie Brezniak.
Richie ignored orders and chased a potential suspect, pulling a gun as his nerves grew.
In this week's episodes that air in Australia, David remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital, with his daughters Lacey and Jo remaining by his side.
Richie is racked with guilt over the whole ordeal, as well as the prospect of his impending police hearing to learn what will happen to him next.
After speaking to his girlfriend, Abigail Fowler, Richie decides to visit David in hospital, but the conversation brings up the immense trauma of the shooting for David, whose condition deteriorates.
The following day, Richie has to face his hearing, having an emotional conversation with Abigail beforehand in which he tells her he needs some space and ends their relationship.
Speaking to Who, he said: "You have to look after yourself, you work with the stunt coordinator, you work with the director, and the cameras, and there are great stunt people on set.
"You also have to be careful with bringing up trauma for viewers, as a scene like this can raise a lot of past trauma for them."
Lynne McGranger has opened up about embracing a new chapter in her life after leaving Home and Away.
The beloved actress, 73, who portrayed Irene Roberts on the long-running soap for 33 years, told Daily Mail one of the only reasons she decided to sign up for new series Shark! was to prove that age should never be a barrier.
'Being a woman of a certain age, a lot of people start to feel invisible,' Lynne said.
'And I thought, "Bugger that for a joke. I am gonna get out there and show people that it doesn't matter what age you are, age is a number. You can do whatever you choose to do."'
The veteran star said that stepping away from the role that made her a household name has given her the opportunity to push herself in ways she never could before.
'I wanted to do something different that was apart from Home and Away,' she explained.
I've been on telly doing Irene for 33 years, and I thought, "Wow, this is not something I would do normally.' But it is something that I'm gonna have a crack at.'
Shark! follows six Australian celebrities learning to face their fears and dive into an ocean while at the same time confronting their individual personal fears.
While many fans know her as one of Australia's most recognisable television stars, Lynne said she is also looking forward to reconnecting with her first love.
'I just wanna do more theatre,' she said. 'That's where I started. A lot of people don't know, but I was a stage actor before I was a television actor.'
The actress revealed returning to the stage was one of the major reasons behind her shock decision to leave Summer Bay.
'During Home and Away, I was lucky enough to get away occasionally and do bits and pieces. But towards the end, the last five to 10 years, it just became very demanding and I had to focus on that.'
Now free from the demands of a year-round television schedule, Lynne said she is enjoying the opportunity to be more candid than ever before.
'I can speak my truth and it's... I love it,' she said.
The actress also spoke about recently going public about a difficult period in her career involving workplace bullying, but stressed the incident occurred decades ago and was unrelated to Home and Away producers.
'That was many years ago,' she explained. 'It was great to be able to say that without disrespecting the show and the producers, because it had nothing to do with them.'
'It was just a situation that arose and a situation which now, with hindsight, I feel I dealt with really well.'
Having spent decades in the entertainment industry, Lynne also had some advice for the next generation hoping to make it in showbusiness.
'Put your head down and your bum up,' she said. 'Work hard. Do the best you can do and be kind.'
'Be kind and respectful because if you tread on people on the way up, you're going to meet them again on the way down.'
The actress believes humility is one of the most important qualities a performer can possess.
'There's no place for egos in this industry,' the Gold Logie winner said.
You have to be kind and inclusive. Maybe the world just needs to be a bit more like that.'
Despite the daunting nature of the challenge, Lynne said the cast of the new Channel Nine series formed a close bond.
Among those who impressed her the most was influencer Tammy Hembrow.
'Tammy was the one I thought, yeah, 'I don't know...
'Tammy is a gorgeous young woman. Very close to her family, but loves the water. She's a mermaid. She's a real mermaid.
What's next in Summer Bay?
Coming up on Home and Away, Justin falls victim to an audacious theft. Elsewhere, Eden drops a baby bombshell on Cash, and Remi's patience with Sonny is starting to wear very thin.
Here's a full collection of 12 big moments to come.
At first, Lacey thinks Tane is being rude and ungrateful, but she regrets being so judgemental when she learns of the sad news.
Jo tries to comfort Tane but he subsequently turns her down, insisting that what they had together is over.
The hurt only deepens when she returns home and is confronted by reminders of her pregnancy everywhere.
Tane and Abigail agree that it would be best to give Mac and Levi space to grieve, so they move into Cash and Eden's for the time being.
David witnesses Richie's caring side and invites him to dinner, where Lacey and Jo share embarrassing stories about their dad's past.
The next day, David receives a report regarding a break-in at the Surf Club, and Lacey arrives at the gym to realise that there's an intruder inside…
David suspects foul play and takes Sonny to the station for questioning. Remi arrives to sort things out, insisting that Sonny isn't a thief but has merely been overdoing it with exercising.
Sonny is released, and promises not to return to the gym that day. But it's not long before he goes back on his word, where he is caught out by Remi and John.
After taking his mood out on Lacey, Mali opens up to Justin and reveals a sketch of a mural that he planned for the baby's nursery.
Justin encourages Mali to confide in Lacey, with the hope that it will heal their rift.
He knows that Sonny is incapable of sticking to a sensible workout plan, no matter how much he fools John and Dana.
Alarm bells are ringing for Dana when she hears about the string of robberies in Summer Bay. She tries to push Alf to invest in personal alarms at the Surf Club, but gets a gruff response.
That night, Mac experiences a vivid night terror and reveals to Levi that she saw a vision of their baby girl.
Mac fears the miscarriage was karma for their affair, but Levi insists that it was a terrible tragedy where nobody is to blame.
Later, Eden breaks the news to Cash, who is taken aback by his wife's sudden change of heart.
Eden wants to discuss things further, but Cash insists that there's no point if she won't change her mind.
When Justin arrives at the scene, he can't see any vehicle, but someone is lurking in the bushes watching.
With Justin's back turned, a hooded figure climbs inside his van and drives off. Justin tries to give chase, but it's too late – he's been robbed!
Alf admits that he feels the same way, with his faith in the local community being put to the test.
Having made up, Alf and Dana agree to work together to make the Surf Club a safer place to be.
When he returns later, Cash admits to Eden that he's naturally disappointed, but respects that it's her body and her decision.
The couple are reconciled, but it's clear that Cash doesn't know what the future holds for their marriage.
David assures Justin that they'll find the culprit, but Justin feels humiliated that he fell into a trap.
Alf is angry on his friend's behalf and calls a meeting on how the residents of Summer Bay can tackle these crimes. But just who is targeting them?
Although he later got everything back in order, the mistake left Roo questioning whether he was still as safe behind the wheel as he insisted.
Those concerns came rushing back when Abby was hit in the same area where Alf had been fishing on the morning of the incident.
The suggestion deeply hurt Alf, and the situation escalated when Probationary Constable Richie Brezniak (Rocco Forrester-Sach) overheard the exchange and passed the information on to Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor).
With Alf now placed near the scene and Roo raising doubts about his driving, police had no choice but to speak to him officially.
The checks on Alf’s ute found no evidence linking it to Abby’s injuries, leaving police satisfied that he wasn’t responsible unless new evidence came to light.
Justin later speaks to David at Salt, where David admits that if Alf did complain, the casework would be looked over in detail—but it wouldn’t necessarily bring Alf any answers.
David wishes there was more he could do, whilst Justin remains aware of how badly the whole situation’s affected Alf.
Justin isn’t convinced, but he stalls for time by continuing to check over the ute whilst Carmen calls her boss to say she’ll be late.
He wants to find Alf straight away, but Leah urges him to be careful, reminding him that Carmen hasn’t been charged and that they shouldn’t get Alf’s hopes up.
Back at the police station, Richie isn’t impressed by the new lead. He remains convinced that Alf was responsible, arguing that police had already identified the “grumpy old man” with recent driving offences.
She’d been coming home from a late shift at Reefton Lakes Leagues Club, and when David explains that a young woman was struck by a car on the side of the road, Carmen begins to realise what happened.
David later finds Alf and tells him that they’ve found the driver responsible. Carmen’s been charged after making a full confession, and Alf’s name has been officially cleared.
Alf admits he hasn’t told Roo that he’s been cleared, feeling that his daughter should have backed him when it mattered.
From his point of view, Roo was too ready to see him as a confused old man who no longer knew what he was doing, rather than trusting that he wouldn’t have left Abby injured at the roadside.
Alf quickly takes offence and storms off as she offers to help him post it online, accusing Roo of treating him as if he’s past his used-by date.
Alf makes his hurt clear. He only told the people who didn’t jump on the bandwagon and blame him in the first place.
As far as he’s concerned, Roo has spent weeks patronising him, and he’s had a gutful.
Home and Away is available to stream from 6am weekdays, with double bill episodes airing from 6pm on 5Star.
