Home and Away's Remi Carter left devastated in kidnap storyline

 A conversation with a private investigator puts him on the wrong track.

Home and Away's Remi Carter has started to doubt his relationship with Bree Cameron, as the show's sinister kidnap storyline continues.

Last year, the show's Australian episodes saw Remi enter into a relationship with Bree after supporting her through her ordeal with her abusive husband Jacob.

In the build-up to the 2022 season finale, events took an unsettling turn as Jacob returned to Summer Bay and forced Bree to leave with him against her will.

Wednesday's episode on Channel 7 in Australia (January 11) confirmed Bree's whereabouts for the first time.

Jacob was forcing Bree to camp with him in a remote location, aware that the police were looking for him.

Back in Summer Bay, a worried Remi decided to hire a private detective to help find Bree. Although he knew the police were overseeing the case, he hoped an extra pair of eyes would help.

An initial meeting with the private detective didn't go as Remi had hoped, as he was questioned over the nature of his relationship with Bree.

Not totally buying Remi's version of events, the PI pointed out that he could come across as a jealous ex, who's unable to accept Bree's "decision" to return to her husband.

Although this is far from the case, Remi started to question Bree's commitment to their relationship, wondering whether her lack of contact was because she now genuinely wanted to move on.

Remi's friend and Lyrik bandmate Kirby Aramoana was sceptical, reminding him: "From what you told me, she was scared. It's not like she had a choice."

Remi replied: "What if she changed her mind? He said it happens all the time. I didn't think it was a possibility, but if it is, she's dumped me. I guess that means she's still alive."

At the makeshift camp site, Bree tried to write a note that Remi could one day find, but she was quickly rumbled by Jacob in another worrying cliffhanger. It's clear that Remi has given up hope too soon, but what does the future hold for Bree?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in March.
