Home and Away confirms stalker terror as new character targets Lacey

 He can't take no for an answer.

A new trailer for Home and Away has hinted at a terrifying stalking ordeal for Lacey Miller as new character Holden Dwyer becomes obsessed with her. Played by former Neighbours star Lach Millar, the Summer Bay newcomer has been pursuing a relationship with Lacey, who's still struggling after the death of boyfriend Theo Poulos.

In the new clip, Holden insists the connection he feels with Lacey is "meant to be" and doesn't take no for an answer when she tells him she isn't interested and wants to be friends.

I just can't imagine being with anyone new right now," she says.

Awkwardness gives way to concern when Lacey returns home to Holden and a bouquet of red roses, leaving her convinced he's been "watching her".

"I'm falling in love with you, and I'm not gonna let anyone get in the way," an angered Holden, who makes up excuses to be in Summer Bay so he could see Lacey, also says in the clip.

Lacey confides in her loved ones about Holden's behaviour, standing her ground and telling him to "get away", though it seems that he isn't going anywhere.

During an altercation with Lacey, Mackenzie Booth tries to intervene but Holden assures her Lacey is "fine". As he continues advancing towards a frightened Lacey, Mali Hudson spots them and rushes to help.

After a furious Mali punches him in the face, Holden warns him: "You're going to regret this."

How far will Holden go? And is Mali on his radar too now?

Home and Away promo has suggested that Holden’s concerning behaviour will ramp up in the weeks ahead as he refuses to leave Lacey alone.

The 2025 Season Finale – which aired on Australian screens in November and will air in the UK later this week – introduced us to new character Holden Dwyer, played by former Neighbours star Lach Millar.

The 2025 Season Finale – which aired on Australian screens in November and will air in the UK later this week – introduced us to new character Holden Dwyer, played by former Neighbours star Lach Millar.

Holden and his friend Isaac (Jordan Dulieu) were on the train heading to Off the Rails music festival before it derailed, leaving numerous Summer Bay favourites in danger.

Sadly for Holden, his flirtatious friend Isaac died in the incident, while Lacey’s (Sophea Pennington) sister Jo (Maddison Brown) was also badly hurt in the derailment, after part of the roof of the train collapsed on top of her.

Holden and Lacey had a couple of brief interactions on the train, both going for the last Mimosa as drinks were being served, before later awkwardly brushing past each other in one of the narrow corridors between carriages.

Holden also stuck up for Lacey after she rejected Isaac and found herself on the receiving end of his hurt reaction.

In the aftermath of the crash, Holden found Lacey outside and made a beeline for her, asking if she’d seen Isaac, before Dana (Ally Harris) broke the news to him that his friend had died.

A week or so later, Holden and Lacey bumped into each other at Northern Districts Hospital, as Holden was attending a checkup on his injured shoulder, while Lacey was there visiting Jo.

Holden appeared to consider it fate that the pair had encountered each other again, and invited Lacey on a walk.

After spending most of the afternoon together, Holden asked Lacey if she’d like to join him for dinner that evening, and it was at that point that Lacey realised that Holden had mistaken her friendship for something more.

She ran off from Salt, closely followed by a confused Holden, prompting David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) – who happened to be just around the corner – to tell Holden to back off.

Lacey explained to her dad that Holden wasn’t the problem, she’d just become scared at the prospect of moving on from Theo (Matt Evans), who died last year.

In the weeks since Lacey turned him down, Holden has struggled to accept her decision, and his behaviour has become increasingly concerning as he’s continued to appear in Summer Bay with various excuses.

Mali (Kyle Shilling) was the first to pick up on Holden’s creepy behaviour when the newcomer booked a block of surfing lessons, despite having numerous beaches closer to home than the ones at Summer Bay.

When it became clear that Holden was far from a beginner, Mali’s hypothesis was confirmed – Holden was clearly only there for Lacey.

Mali soon cancelled Holden’s lessons, promising a full refund, and told him to stay away from the Surf Club.

As a result, Lacey found herself being confronted by Holden, demanding to know if she and Mali were an item. Lacey was confused, reiterating that she’s absolutely not ready to date anyone else, but Holden still seemed unwilling to believe her.

Now, a new promo has shown that Holden’s obsessive behaviour will continue in the weeks ahead, as he refuses to leave her alone, leading to a tense confrontation between Mali and Holden.

The promo opens with Harper and Lacey at the beach, with audio of Holden telling Lacey: “It kinda feels like this is meant to be.”

and I just can’t imagine being with anyone new right now,” Lacey tells Holden, as the promo cuts back to the moment in the Diner where she explained her running away after he asked her on a date. “Can we still just be friends?”

Then, in new footage, we see Lacey arriving home to the beach house to find a bouquet of red roses on the table.

As she turns around, she finds herself face to face with Holden, who’s somehow found out where she lives, and has seemingly let himself in to wait for her with the romantic surprise.

His soulmate?” asks the promo.

“It’s been pretty clear that he’s been watching me,” we hear Lacey say, as we see her walking through the house late in the evening.

She then sits on the sofa and looks at her phone, where she looks at a picture of herself working at the Surf Club, seemingly taken from afar by her new stalker.

Cutting back to Holden’s unexpected appearance at the beach house, he tells Lacey: “I feel like you’re avoiding me,” as she steps back in fear.

Then, at Salt, Holden warns Abigail (Hailey Pinto) to “stop interfering and leave us alone.”

I won’t tell you again,” he warns her.

At the Diner, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) gives a teary Lacey a hug, as we hear her saying “I told him that I didn’t want to see him.”

Then, cutting back to the beach house, Holden reveals the extent of his feelings.

“I’m falling in love with you,” he tells Lacey.

And I’m not gonna let anyone get in the way.”

The drama then ramps up at the beach, where Lacey backs away from Holden, telling him to “get away from me.”

Mackenzie (Emily Weir) comes across the situation and races towards them, where Holden signals for her to back off and assures her that Lacey is fine.

He then continues to walk towards Lacey as she panics and backs away.

How far will he go?” asks the promo’s voiceover.

As Holden lunges towards Lacey, a furious Mali rushes towards them.

Sporting a bloody lip and a black eye, Holden tells Mali: “You’re going to regret this!”

A shot from the Home and Away 2026 promo has already shown that Mali will find himself in the interview room at Yabbie Creek Police Station in the weeks ahead – will Holden follow through on his threat to make Mali regret his actions?

Lacey has already had plenty of bad luck since arriving in Summer Bay last year, what with ex-boyfriend and River Boy leader Gage (Tom Wilson) ending up behind bars, shortly followed by Theo’s devastating death.

Just how much does Lacey need to worry about her new friend’s behaviour?

Rex Gallagher faces major turmoil as emotional secret is exposed

 Does Froggy discover the truth?

Hollyoaks' Ste Hay and Rex Gallagher prepare to host their engagement party next week – just as Rex’s emotional cross-dressing secret is exposed. Behind closed doors, Rex is currently battling with uncertainty over his identity, something he has been exploring alone in the aftermath of his mum's death.

After trying on Grace’s lipstick in the past few weeks, Rex took one of Leela’s tops and felt confident wearing it underneath his mechanic overalls. While he has kept this to himself for now, Ro recently spied Rex dancing freely in a private moment.

Next week, the oblivious Froggy praises his grandson for the man that he’s become – unaware that Rex has ordered women’s clothes to the garage under a fake name.

Ste receives the parcel, but is baffled and subsequently sends the delivery driver away as he assumes he’s got the wrong address – but Ro overhears the exchange…

"Ro has an understanding of Rex as what he’s going through is similar to Ro’s own journey," explains our Hollyoaks insider. "He encourages his mum Diane to donate some clothes to charity but makes up an excuse to secretly leave them outside the garage.

"Rex is happy as he tries on the dresses in private but is forced to hide when his grandad Froggy arrives home!"

On the day of Ste and Rex’s joint engagement party with Jack and Pearl, Ste and Jack clash over the plans – but it’s not long before the glitzy event is in full swing. As shocking truths threaten to be exposed, Ste decides to let old flames burn out with his old fling Dillon.

However, there’s soon disappointment for Ste as he takes a phone call and finds out that his daughter, Leah, has missed her flight home – and won’t be able to make the celebration.

Meanwhile, over at the garage, Ro tells Rex that he knows his secret, and encourages him to open up about exploring his identity…

"Rex confides in Ro that he’s been wearing women’s clothes, and the understanding teenager is totally non-judgmental," our source says. "Ro reminds Rex that Ste loves him for who he is, no matter what, leaving Rex with food for thought."

After his candid chat with Ro, will Rex summon the courage to be honest with Ste?

Home and Away fan favourites to unite in explosive Brax return plot

 "Their perfect escape is about to end."

Home and Away's Darryl 'Brax' Braxton is set to receive a blast from the past when he's reunited with Tane Parata. In upcoming scenes, desperate Tane flees to Western Australia to beg Brax for help following his shocking arrest.

Last week's episodes saw Tane arrested and charged with the possession and supplying of drugs after being framed by Harper Matheson's mum Kerrie. The vindicative newcomer hid a bag of white powder in baby Archie's cot, as she was annoyed that Tane didn't want her to be in his son's life.

In tonight's episode, Tane is granted bail after proving he isn't a flight risk — though he has to wear an ankle monitor. But with Kerrie pulling a disappearing act, a new trailer shows Tane taking matters into his own hands to avoid going to prison.

The dramatic trailer, posted on the soap's Instagram page, opens with beautiful landscape shots of Western Australian, where Brax and Erica 'Ricky' Sharpe have been living since 2016.

After bidding farewell to Summer Bay, the pair have built a peaceful life in the outback with their son Casey.

However, the on-screen text reveals that "their perfect escape is about to end", before Tane arrives on the scene claiming his innocence and asking Brax for help.

This content is imported from instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

At first, Ricky and Brax are both reluctant to get involved in the drama, with Ricky fearing Tane will bring trouble to their door. Brax firmly tells him he isn't going to put his family "at risk".

But as he tries to drive away, desperate Tane plants himself in front of the car, shouting: "I walked away from my son for this!"

It seems the former leader of the River Boys takes pity on the new father and he brings Tane back to his idyllic home to devise a plan. But is Tane looking for a way to clear his name or could he be plotting his own escape to Western Australia?
