Home and Away's Cash Newman left devastated in Jasmine Delaney mystery

 The show continues to address Jasmine's absence.

Home and Away spoilers follow from Tuesday's Australian episode (July 26), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has kept fans guessing over Jasmine Delaney's whereabouts in the show's latest Australian episode.

Jasmine left Summer Bay a few weeks ago to help the family of her late husband Robbo, with no plans for the character to return following Sam Frost's decision to leave the role.

This week's episodes on Channel 7 in Australia have seen Jasmine's partner Cash Newman optimistically prepare for her to come home.

Cash had asked Jasmine to return to Summer Bay earlier than planned – and he hoped to make the occasion extra special by proposing to her.

Unfortunately for Cash, there was heartbreak ahead when Jasmine failed to show up, with no explanation over why.

Cash had prepared a romantic dinner, complete with champagne, for a perfect proposal – but he was forced to abandon it when Jasmine was nowhere to be seen.

Cash tried to phone Jasmine and the Shaw family, but none of them were answering his calls.

The local policeman initially assumed that his sister Felicity must have spoken to Jasmine and told her about his recent mistake with Rose Delaney.

Earlier this year, Cash got drunk and spent the night with Rose in her car. Nothing happened between them, but Cash feared the situation could be misconstrued and he held off from telling Jasmine about his night with her sister.

Felicity denied speaking to Jasmine, but this only made Cash feel worse as he started to fear that something was seriously wrong.

Tuesday's Australian episode ended with Cash deciding to report Jasmine as a missing person.

However, the end-of-episode preview teased a new twist to the tale, as Cash was shown taking his frustrations out on a gym punchbag, before abruptly telling Irene Roberts that Jasmine and the Shaws are all fine.

But if Jasmine isn't in danger, why isn't she coming back?

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.

In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7plus.
