Home and Away's Mali Hudson to be publicly humiliated in new storyline

 Mali is slammed as an incompetent boss.

Home and Away's Mali Hudson is set to be publicly humiliated in a new storyline after Kirby Aramoana quits the surfboard shop.

Back in 2023, Kirby decided to quit the local band Lyrik to become a solo artist but soon began to regret her choice.

After attempting to get out of her solo contract with manager Forrest Duke, Kirby and the band found a way to get around the contract, and she later rejoined Lyrik.

However, things didn't last, and the band have since split up. In upcoming scenes, Kirby will leave her role as Mali's helper at the surfboard shop in order to pursue a solo career.

In scenes set to air in the UK in a couple of months, Kirby quits her job at the board shop in order to chase her dreams (via Now To Love).

Kirby's decision puts Mali under pressure, but he pretends everything is fine instead of reaching out for help.

In an attempt to help Mali to start searching for a replacement employee for Kirby, Mali's girlfriend Abigail asks Kirby to pretend that she is upset. The plan works and Mali becomes more productive.

Things take a turn when Mali reads an article by a journalist named Seb who came to Summer Bay to interview Kirby.

In the interview, which took place at the board shop, Mali is described as an incompetent boss. Mali is infuriated after reading the article and refuses to speak to Kirby, which ruins her goodbye.

Adding to Mali's rage, Abigail tells him that the article didn't lie and he was actually quite rude when the interview was taking place. Mali storms away.

With tensions rising between Mali, Abigail and Kirby, could Mali face losing his friends and his business?
