He ignores expert advice, but at what cost?
Sonny Baldwin puts himself in danger as he tries to speed up his recovery in upcoming scenes in Home and Away. Earlier this year, Sonny was left paralysed in a horrific train crash.
The road to recovery ever since has been rocky, and Sonny is set to put his health at risk when his determination gets the better of him.
But Sonny is determined to walk again and feels inspired to do whatever it takes to achieve it.
At first, everything seems to be going well, and Sonny refuses to take a break during his session despite his body faltering.
Alarmed, Remi Carter and Lacey Miller urge Sonny to stop, but he snaps at the pair to back off.
The next day, Sonny apologises to the duo for his behaviour, but lies to them when he promises that he will listen to the doctors and slow down, returning to the gym almost immediately.
"He’s been deeply inspired by his fellow friends in the rehab clinic, seeing how fiercely independent, resilient, and determined they are."
He continued: "He’s frustrated. Sonny wants to believe that it will take time, but deep down he feels that intense dedication is the way forward."
Home and Away boss Lucy Addario teased a tumultuous year for Sonny and Remi as well as Dana Matheson, who rekindled her relationship with Sonny in the aftermath of the train crash.
"Loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and the lines between friendship and love get seriously blurred. In classic Home and Away style, just when they think they’re solid, everything gets shaken."
"There are some very tough times ahead for the grieving family."

"Life, it can be wonderful," a voiceover is heard saying over the new clip as images of Levi Fowler and Mackenzie Booth play (via Back to the Bay).

Will Vicki and Ross get wed?
"Vicki is excited and wants to embrace this wedding," begins EastEnders star Alice Haig, who plays Vicki. "On the other hand, she’s still feeling incredibly uncertain and guilty about Zack. Vicki doesn’t understand what drove her to cheat – she wants so much to have the perfect day, but this dishonesty is hanging over her
While Ross knows Vicki cheated on him and has forgiven her, he doesn’t realise it was with his best man! Vicki hopes her indiscretion is behind her and presses on with preparations for the ceremony.
While Vicki now regrets her dirty dalliance, Zack is not over it. As the big day looms, Zack’s desire for Vicki grows stronger and he tries to tempt her away from Ross once more…
"Zack clearly still has deep feelings for Vicki," says Alice. "He’s fighting for her, but Vicki insists she loves Ross and does not want to be with Zack – even if her behaviour has said otherwise!"
With just 24 hours to go, Vicki can’t wait to get hitched. Mum Michelle may not be around, but Vicki feels the support of her family and an honest chat with auntie Kathy convinces her she’s doing the right thing by choosing Ross.
"Zack doesn’t behave in the best way," teases Alice. "He starts to drip poison in Ross’ ear and tries to influence him by implying Vicki might have been unfaithful again. This really starts to make Ross paranoid."
Instead of looking forward to making an honest woman out of his fiancée, Ross is brooding on the morning of the wedding as Zack’s words continue to mess with his mind. Vicki makes it clear to lovelorn Zack she’s committed to Ross, unaware her other half is now the one having doubts…
"Vicki is late for the wedding, which doesn’t help matters," shares Alice. “When she finally arrives there’s an expectation everything is going to be revealed – either by Zack, or one of the many who know the truth.
"Then Ross has a realisation at the altar, and asks Vicki if Zack was the man she slept with! In that moment it’s a huge panic for Vicki, but you’ll have to wait and see how she responds…"
"None of them will come out unchanged"
Home and Away boss Lucy Addario has teased a serious shake-up for three of the soap's best-loved characters later this year. Dana Matheson, Sonny Baldwin and Remi Carter have trouble ahead, despite seemingly having the worst behind them.
Earlier this year, Sonny was left paralysed in a horrific train crash, and subsequently broke up with Dana. However, he wasn't the only one who faced turmoil from the crash – after collapsing in hospital, Remi was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent risky surgery.
However, now that Sonny and Dana are back together and Remi is on the mend, Lucy has revealed that there's a whirlwind of drama ahead in Inside Soap's summer preview.
Loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and the lines between friendship and love get seriously blurred. In classic Home and Away style, just when they think they’re solid, everything gets shaken."
Lucy also gave fans a taste of what the rest of 2026 will look like for the soap, teasing that they can expect "huge, life-changing moments" to come in Summer Bay.
"Lives will hang in the balance, hearts will be broken, and when everything seems lost, the Summer Bay community does what it always does best – pulls together. It’s big, emotional storytelling, and it’s classic Home and Away."
Love Island Australia's Mitch Eliot is making a bold leap from reality TV heartthrob to serious actor - and his latest role may be his most unexpected yet.
The former villa favourite, 28, who split from long-term girlfriend Phoebe Spiller in 2024 and later opened up about his journey with fluid sexuality, has revealed he is set to star in the upcoming film Transitions opposite Home and Away star Axle Whitehead.
The project marks a dramatic new chapter for Mitch, who appears determined to reinvent himself both personally and professionally after a transformative few years in the spotlight.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, Mitch confirmed acting has always been his true calling.
'Even as a kid on the rugby field I'd be acting out movies and in my own world. My dad would be yelling at me to run for the ball,' he explained.
'But acting just wasn't something people did where I'm from.'
Mitch first found fame as one half of Love Island Australia's golden couple alongside Phoebe, with the pair finishing as runners-up in 2022 before announcing their split two years later.
Following the breakup, Mitch candidly revealed he was embracing a more open and fluid approach to his sexuality, describing the period as one of self-discovery and personal growth.
Now, his latest acting role appears to mirror that evolution.
'I play a very lost guy called Michael who's searching for the love his family never gave him,' he explained.
'Without saying much it kinda touches on the deeper transactions us humans make in life.'
The emotionally charged role is expected to see Mitch portray a deeply vulnerable character opposite seasoned actor Axle, in what insiders suggest could be one of his most daring performances yet.
While Mitch remained tight-lipped on specific plot details, the film is believed to explore themes of identity, intimacy, and emotional survival.
Despite the inevitable scrutiny that comes with transitioning from reality TV to film, Mitch insists he has nothing to prove.
I don't really think of it like that,' he said.
'The thing with acting is I'm not doing it to prove myself to anyone. I'm doing it because I love it.
'I think apart from my family and friends it's the only thing I've ever truly cared about.'
And as for whether he's intentionally selecting more provocative roles to challenge public assumptions, Mitch made his focus clear.
'The only person I want to challenge is myself,' he said.
'I don't care what people think of me. I'm doing this for myself and taking on roles/characters I feel have a meaningful story to tell.'
Mitch rose to fame appearing on Love Island back in 2022.
He and partner Phoebe stunned fans when they announced they had split after two years together.
The pair, who finished as runners-up on the hit dating show and quickly became fan favourites, both shared emotional statements confirming the breakup.
'Unfortunately, me and Phoebe have decided after two years that we would go our separate ways,' Mitch wrote at the time.
'Never thought I'd be one to make a break up post, but I feel like it's needed so we can focus on getting through this and moving on.'
Addressing Phoebe directly, he added: 'Phoebe, we fell in love the day we met and from then on you showed me what it's like to be so bloody loved.
'You gave me an amazing two years and I can't thank you enough for that. But we need time to grow as our own people.'
Phoebe shared her own heartbreak, admitting she had been left devastated by the separation.
'I honestly never thought I'd be writing this, but unfortunately Mitch and I have separated,' she wrote.
'As much as I wanted him to be my forever, we ended up wanting different things. Regardless of that though, I will always love him.'
The breakup was made even more poignant given that Mitch had previously tattooed 'P.S. I love you' on his forearm as a tribute to Phoebe just months earlier.
