 Max's dad Shane is back with shocking news...

Neighbors technician Max Ramsay finds himself at the middle of a storm another week, as his father Shane returns with a extreme arrange to supplant Ramsay Road! With everybody still reeling from the news that the Road will be annihilated to make room for a unused turnpike, Shane proposes that they ought to move en masse to a modern advancement: Ramsay Hills.

Shane uncovers that he's reserved a plot of arrive, not as well distant absent, where the Erinsborough top picks might all begin once more. Energetic Max is rapidly on board, but how will everybody else feel? And will Paul Robinson toss a spanner in the works with his equal proposition for a high-rise advancement called Robinson Heights?

In portion two of our meet with Ben Jackson, who plays Max, we get all the talk on Shane's huge thought and Neighbours' up and coming ending…

Shane Ramsay is heading back to Ramsay Road! How was it to see your on-screen father Diminish O'Brien back on set?

"It was astounding, as Diminish is so much fun to work with. I wish I'd got to do indeed more with him. He is such an mind blowing on-screen character – one of our best – so it was awesome to have the opportunity again.

"What a parcel of individuals do not figure it out is that Diminish has got a evil sense of funniness, so he certainly made a difference to lift everyone's spirits at what might have something else been a bit of a pitiful time, amid those last weeks of filming.

"It was too a beautiful time on set in common since we had a bunch of other cast individuals come back. It felt like a enormous, wonderful family reunion."

How does Shane's stunning thought for Ramsay Slopes go down with everyone?

"It is a exceptionally, exceptionally disputable thought! It separates everybody a small bit. A few individuals are all for it. Karl's a bit iffy approximately it, until he listens that there may be a Kennedy road named after him! (Laughs.)

"It moreover serves as the beginning for a bit of a turf war between Shane and Paul. That calls back to the early days of Neighbors, when there were storylines with the Ramsays vs. the Robinsons, which is lovely cool."

Were you energized over that classic fight being returned to again?

"So energized! I keep in mind chatting to Tom Sage, who was the advanced maker on Neighbors and he too worked in the story room. I was fair asking him for answers in terms of how the appear was going to end.

"He said: 'I can't tell you right presently how it's going to conclusion, but I can tell you that Max is included in a beautiful cool way'. So as before long as I listened that, I was exceptionally energized. It was truly special.

"It was fair a update of how fortunate I was to play a Ramsay. I was able to be portion of such a cool bequest by being one of those family individuals."

When I signed up for the role of Max in April 2024, I was fully anticipating that I was going to be on Neighbours for a lot longer. I really believed that the show would have a lot more of a future.

As time went on, I think paranoia definitely grew among the cast and crew, as we weren't really hearing any answers and things got a bit delayed. We were supposed to find out at a certain time – then the negotiations were ongoing.

"I wasn't sure which way it was going to go. There were some people in the building that were 100% certain we were going to be fine, and then there were other people in the building that were 100% certain that we weren't! I think I had a foot in both camps!

"When the day came, that initial shock definitely hit me and I think we were all really taken aback by it. It was really difficult to process. But we all just supported each other and got on with it, as we had filming to do."

EastEnders' Zoe makes big decision ahead of cliffhanger in early iPlayer release..

 Anthony gets bad news.

EastEnders’ Zoe Slater has made a huge choice around her relationship with Anthony Trueman. She at that point gets however another evil danger that comes ahead of a tremendous week of dramatization for the entire Slater family…

This week, Zoe has confronted backfire from Kat and Alfie for denouncing Jean of being her stalker. Feeling forlorn, he come to out to ancient fire Anthony and he was there to back her.

The pair shared a kiss and then slept together – but viewers know that Anthony might not have Zoe’s best interests at heart, as earlier he was seen looking at a slideshow of photos of her.

Today’s episode kicked off the next morning, and Zoe and Anthony were delighted after spending the night together. However, Patrick and Yolande weren’t pleased to spot Zoe leaving the house.

Yolande berated Anthony for sleeping with another woman while he is still married, while Patrick was confused about why he was interested in Zoe again. But Anthony insisted that he was serious about Zoe and that she could be ‘the one’.

Meanwhile, Zoe returned home to questions from worried Kat, who disapproved when she revealed that she had stayed with Anthony.

Kat was concerned about her daughter’s intentions, telling her daughter that what might be a bit of fun to her might mean more to Anthony and that he could be up for a proper relationship.

Zoe took her mum’s advice, and when Anthony came into the pub later and asked her out to dinner, she turned him down and said that last night was a mistake.

Anthony was furious about being rejected by Zoe and Kat jumped to her defence, making it clear that she’s not interested and encouraging him to focus on his relationship with his own kids.

Who sent this latest threat, and could scorned Anthony really be responsible?

Home and away A first look at their life in WA ..

 After the Australian Season Finale aired last Wednesday 19th November, the show aired a bumper promo giving us a first look at what’s in store in Summer Bay in 2026. The latter half of the promo was dedicated to Brax and Ricky’s return, where we got our first look at their life in Western Australia.

We saw Brax riding through a cattle ranch on a dirt bike, before greeting Ricky with a “missed me?”

“Ah, you wish,” she replied with a smile.

We then saw the first appearance of Brax and Ricky’s son, Casey, as he ran up to his dad and gave him a hug.

Ricky gave birth to baby Casey back in May 2015, meaning their son will be just a month or two from celebrating his 11th birthday when they return.

The promo shows Brax and Ricky looking relaxed at the beach, as Ricky dries off after a surf, before scenes of the father and son fixing up the dirt bike.

The family are living the relaxed life in Queensland, as we see Brax driving a boat, while Ricky points out a kangaroo on the shore to Casey.

However, as the pace of the shots increases and the music builds, a blue car cuts across the path of a truck, causing it to come to a halt, as we see Ricky with a concerned look on her face.

Once a River Boy, always a River Boy,” Ricky says to her partner.

Are the pair really living a peaceful life, or is there more River Boy drama to come in 2026?

The promo also shows Brax looking for something or someone in the Perth CBD, which we presume is where he first meets up with Tane.

The promo also appeared to give us a very brief glimpse of Tane and Brax together, as we see their silhouettes from behind.

Why is Tane in trouble with the law?

Intriguingly, the 2026 promo also hinted that Tane will find himself in trouble with the law next year. It showed Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) putting his arms through the bars of a prison cell, gripping the hands of someone inside.

The physique suggested that the prisoner in question was Tane. Another brief shot from the promo also showed Tane doing press-ups on the floor of what appeared to be his cell.

The promo also saw Tane in a suit and tie – not his usual sporty attire, suggesting he could be set for a court appearance in the new year.

We also saw Mali (Kyle Shilling) at Yabbie Creek Police Station in an interview room – is he in trouble too, or is he being questioned about whatever Tane has done?

Whether Tane finds himself in trouble with the law before or after his trip to visit Brax and Ricky in WA remains to be seen.

Does Tane even know Brax and Ricky?

While Tane has no known connection to Brax or Ricky, having only arrived in Summer Bay in 2020, he has met Brax’s brother Heath (Dan Ewing) – albeit very briefly.

Heath made a brief appearance in the 2021 Season Return episode, when Tane found himself in trouble with a gang after a job he was carrying out for them went wrong.

Tane and Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) were forced to carry out a robbery at the Reefton Lakes league club as payback for Tane losing the gang money, but it became clear that nothing they did would be enough to appease them.

Dean (Patrick O’Connor) – who had previously shared a cell with Ari when they were both behind bars – eventually stepped in and called on his River Boy connections for help.

With Reefton Lakes located on the River Boys’ patch, the boys were all too happy to help with the plan to derail the robbery and potentially save Ari and Tane.

As Ari and Tane met up with gang leader Paul (Jack Finsterer) and his lackie Leon (Will McNeill) in preparation for their task, they were interrupted by the arrival of a gang of River Boys, led by none other than Heath!

Heath introduced himself and told the men that they were on River Boy turf…

Before anyone had time to react, the River Boys did what they’re best at and started a brawl.

It didn’t take long for the River Boys, along with Ari and Tane, to overcome Paul’s men, and Heath bundle Leon and Paul into his ute to take them on a little trip.

Producers are remaining tight-lipped over what causes us to reunite with Brax and Ricky in the golden state, but Tane’s involvement suggests that he could be heading west to escape some trouble in Summer Bay.

Will reformed bad boy Tane finds himself in trouble once again?

Home and Away returns to Australian screens on Monday 19th January 2026, on Seven.

The final episode airs on UK screens on Friday 5th December on Channel 5, and returns to the UK on Friday 2nd January.

 On 28th July, the show announced that it would soon be heading to Australia’s westernmost state for the first time to film a series of special episodes, dubbed the ‘Western Australia Event’.

In the initial release, producers promised that the show would see “an ambitious, high-stakes storyline”, filmed in the “stunning natural beauty” of WA.

The Western Australian Government revealed that “five special episodes” would be filmed in the state, and a press release from Seven added that filming locations would include the city of Perth with its rugged coastline, and the state’s expansive red outback.

A few weeks later, it was revealed that we’d be catching up with Brax and Ricky in WA.

An announcement stated that the “landmark Home and Away event” would reveal where life has taken Brax and Ricky since 2016, delivering high-stakes drama and emotional payoffs set against a stunning backdrop of WA’s rugged outback

Speaking of his return, Stephen Peacocke said: “When the producers asked if I’d revisit Brax, it felt like a fun opportunity – and one I think the audience will really enjoy. Filming in spectacular outback Western Australia is the icing on the cake.”

Bonnie Sveen echoed the sentiments: “Bringing Ricky back wasn’t something I’d ever expected, so I’m beyond thrilled to reunite with Steve and old friends at Home and Away. Exploring where Ricky and Brax are now, 10 years on, will make for a very special and compelling storyline – and I can’t wait for our WA filming adventure.”

Home and Away‘s Executive Producer Julie McGauran hinted at what’s to come: “Questions of what Brax and Ricky’s life is like now and how things might have changed for them will be answered. And of course, there’s plenty of surprises along the way.”

In mid-October, filming began in Perth, WA. Head of Makeup Laura Vazquez posted a photo on Instagram of a plane, with the caption “Perth bound ..

The following day, she posted two more photos, with captions “Team Makeup WA  first day down 🫶” and “Perth day one done ..

In the days that followed, the cast and crew began filming in and around the Perth CBD..

Tane joins Brax and Ricky in Perth

Eagle-eyed fans were lucky enough to spot Stephen Peacocke filming – and in an unexpected turn of events, he was spotted alongside Ethan Browne, who plays Tane.

Meanwhile, fan Diane Head posted to the Home and Away Spoilers and Gossip group of a photo she had taken with Stephen and Ethan as they filmed outside The Bell Tower tourist attraction in Perth.

The pair were also spotted at nearby Elizabeth Quay by Glennys Marsdon, who posted a series of photos of the filming on Instagram.

While Tane hasn’t been officially announced as featuring in the Western Australian episodes, actor Ethan Browne provided comment for the initial press release, stating: “We’re stoked to be heading across to beautiful Western Australia for Home and Away’s first time ever this October.”

When are Brax and Ricky coming back?

On 19th October, the show released the first official photos from the WA film set, as they revealed three photos of Brax and Ricky wearing ‘akubra’ or outback hats, surrounded by the iconic red dirt of the Aussie bush.

One of the pictures showed Bonnie holding a clapperboard, which showed that they were filming episode 8688 of block 1736.

As such, Brax and Ricky will appear approximately 50 episodes into the season. The number of episodes that the show airs per week fluctuates throughout the year, typically varying between four and six, and our calculations estimate that Brax and Ricky will arrive on Australian screens between mid-March and mid-April.

Meanwhile, the show returns to the UK after its Christmas break on Friday 2nd January 2026 with Episode 8601, meaning Brax and Ricky will appear on UK screens in early May.

Brax, Ricky and Casey will return to Summer Bay itself!

The Brax and Ricky news kept on coming, as in mid-November, the actors were spotted filming at Palm Beach, the real-life beach in Sydney’s north where the external Summer Bay scenes are shot.

Stephen was first seen by fans attending the Celebtime Home and Away tour on Tuesday 11th November, walking away from the surf club building.

At that time, a fan claimed that Stephen was simply at the location filming a Channel 7 promo for the Western Australia event.

However, on a different day, both Stephen and Bonnie were spotted at the beach by fan Alex Douch, who posted a photo on Instagram showing the pair filming alongside a child actor playing their son, Casey.

The show hasn’t yet confirmed that Brax and Ricky will be returning to Summer Bay after we visit them out west, and it’s not yet clear what causes them to head back to New South Wales.
