Is everything as it seems?
Home and Away is lining up devastating scenes for Alf Stewart as he's forced to accept that his beloved daughter Roo may be dead.
Alf is about to take centre stage in a huge storyline as Roo disappears in sinister circumstances – and the stakes couldn't be higher as he starts to fear the worst.
In this week's Australian episodes, police sergeant David Langham awaits forensic reports on a body which has been found in connection with the tragic case.
His investigations at the crime scene lead him to chat to a passer-by, who claims that he saw Roo chatting to a hitchhiker shortly before she disappeared.
While this talkative witness also seems suspicious, David lets his guard down as the stranger explains that his wife has died. David feels a connection with him, reflecting on his own loss, so he ignores the red flags.
This proves to be David's first major mistake in the case. Later, we see the dodgy man watching a news report about Roo's disappearance before pulling out a hammer with dried blood on it. Has he killed Roo?
He's then joined by Justin Morgan and Leah Patterson as he lays flowers at the crime scene.
Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, who plays David, told TV Week: "The people of Summer Bay are devastated by the apparent passing of Roo, one of the most loved and respected people in the community.
"Tears are shed, hearts broken. David feels deeply responsible. He feels a failure."
UK fans won't see these scenes until early 2027, as the show will take a Christmas break on Channel 5.
However, die-hard fans are already aware that Georgie Parker – who plays Roo – hasn't left Home and Away and the current saga isn't the last we'll see of her...
He has been thrown a much-needed lifeline.
Hollyoaks' Steve Hay has been in turmoil ever since he was kidnapped by Imran Maalik, but things may finally be looking up for him. Fans first saw a dishevelled-looking Ste locked up for the 64th day by vengeful Imran.
Ste listened to his kidnapper, who disguised his voice over a speaker, tell him that he killed Ella and did not pay for his crimes. Therefore, Imran decided to take matters into his own hands.
As their conversation continued, they were overheard by Sienna, Ste’s best friend, who demanded to know where Ste was and who was behind his kidnapping.
Cindy showed her pictures of the building plans, and when Sienna thought she knew where it was, she immediately set off to find her friend.
As the pair approached the building, they spotted Harper, who is working for Imran, entering where they thought Ste may be held and followed her inside.
Sienna and Cindy confronted Harper and demanded she give them the keys to the rooms, and she obliged.
As they entered they saw Ste, who was surviving on just basic provisions, looking worse for wear and pleaded with him to leave with them, but it was not that straightforward.
But nobody knows Ste more than his best friend Sienna, who reassured him that she was by his side. Furthermore, Cindy forgave him for killing her niece.
“I’m not leaving without you,” Sienna said. After seeing some familiar faces who offered some comforting words, Ste burst into tears and hugged Sienna, indicating that he will return to Hollyoaks village with her.
Images showed what will happen in the following episode when Ste is reunited with his sister Leela and friend Tony, who are delighted to see him after a long period.
Lucas’ sister found the pair fighting and in a bid to stop the scuffle, she yelled “stop!”, before picking up a hard object and throwing it.
It appears to have struck either Lucas or Imran, judging by Leah’s stunned expression, before the credits rolled. What will happen next?
Ahead of the channel’s launch last month, it was announced that viewers would have the chance to revisit the series from the very beginning, which saw Tom and Pippa Fletcher (Roger Oakley and Vanessa Downing) first move to Summer Bay with their five foster children.
From then on, two episodes will air each weekday from 12pm to 1pm, with repeats the following morning from 9am to 10am.
The classic episodes will additionally be available on-demand via 5Streaming, with the first 30 arriving on launch day and a further 10 added each week.
“There’s a lot of history in those early episodes — and a lot of memories for Alf and the whole Summer Bay community. I hope fans enjoy taking a trip back to where it all began.”
“Marilyn has been such a huge part of my life, and seeing those early episodes again is a wonderful reminder of where her story began. I know there are so many Home and Away fans in the UK who have grown up with these characters, so I hope they love going back to Summer Bay and rediscovering some of those early stories.”
