Home and Away 8822 Episode 21st October 2026

 

EastEnders star Anna Constable confirms role in "radical" new Channel 4 show

 Anna Constable may have only joined EastEnders in August, but the actor has already landed a new role away from the BBC soap. And for fans, it's a very quick turnaround, as the "bold" new project airs tonight!

The star, who plays Jodie Hawkins on the soap, is part of the creative team for The Experiment, a brand-new documentary from Channel 4 that has been conceived by Mat Fraser and Sophie Morgan.

The one-off programme, which airs at 10pm tonight, takes place within SegriLife House, a new - and fictional - residential facility that appears to offer a radical model of supported living for people with disabilities.

The facility is complete with "professional branding, corporate messaging and convincing promotional materials", with the inspiration for these ideals coming from "one of the darkest chapters in modern history".

Fraser and Morgan analysed the systemic killing of disabled people by Nazi Germany during World War II, with the idea behind the documentary being to examine whether "dangerous ideas can be repackaged and made to appear acceptable".

Constable, who has Noonan syndrome, confirmed her involvement in the documentary with a post on Instagram, with the actor saying that it was a project that she had "been keeping quiet about".

"Last year, before I started filming @bbceastenders, I filmed something very different… and now it’s finally coming to TV!" she wrote, before adding that she was "excited" for viewers to watch it.

Speaking about the documentary, Fraser and Morgan said: "It was important for us to finally bring the catastrophic history of Aktion T4 and the Nazis' persecution of disabled people to our television screens.

"But more importantly we wanted to test whether the British public could be persuaded by similar propaganda today – to believe that disabled people are disposable, or less deserving of a place in society."

Through the fantastic dedication of our disabled actors and the production team who brought the disturbing world of SegriLife to life, we were able to put that question to the test," they added, calling it "essential viewing".

Billed as an "urgent interrogation of the present", the programme "explores how language around productivity, dependency and public cost can shape perceptions of disabled people and the value placed on their lives."

Promo gives a look at Eden’s final goodbye to her friends and family, Tane’s huge decision, and the start of a major new storyline for Alf and Roo.

The new promo teases what’s in store for the next two weeks of Australian episodes, which will also air as the final weeks of the year for UK viewers.

An unforgettable two weeks of Home and Away” is how the promo’s voiceover describes the upcoming drama, which will see Eden’s (Stephanie Panozzo) friends and family prepare to say goodbye, Tane (Ethan Browne) make the decision to leave Summer Bay, and Roo (Georgie Parker) go missing.

Over a backing track of Eden singing, we see Leah (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin (James Stewart) enjoying dinner and drinks at Salt with David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) and Amelia (Nicole da Silva).

To good friends,” David says as he raises a glass.

Justin’s close friendship with David was in jeopardy after he and Leah took in Richie (Rocco Forrester-Sach), but the pair have managed to put that behind them and rekindle their bromance.

We then see Eden out of hospital, wrapped up in a hoodie, hat and blanket as she prepares to live out her final days.

Tonight’s Australian episode saw Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) finally accept that he might be about to lose his wife forever as he asked Eden how she’d like to spend her remaining time.

Eden’s aplastic anemia has become nigh on impossible to treat, and as she faces up to the fact that they won’t find a stem cell donor in time, it looks like she and Cash head out of Summer Bay to a remote cabin as Eden prepares to say goodbye.

“All that matters is being there for my wife,” Cash tells Gary (Peter Phelps), who returned to the bay in tonight’s Aussie episode to comfort his son.

We then see Cash and Eden together, as they comfort one another in Eden’s final days.

Back in Summer Bay, Abigail (Hailey Pinto) breaks down in Richie’s arms as she tries to deal with the fact she’s losing her sister.

Remi (Adam Rowland) is seen struggling as well, breaking down in tears on a motorbike ride.

We would’ve had a good life together,” Eden tells Cash as the promo comes to an end.

However, teaser spoilers for the episode airing on Monday 2nd November ask: “Will Eden be given a lifeline?”

Are we really about to say goodbye to Eden, or will there be a last-minute miracle?

---

Meanwhile, the promo shows Alf (Ray Meagher) ask Tane (Ethan Browne) if he’s leaving Summer Bay.

Maybe it’s time,” Tane replies.

Tane (Ethan Browne) has been struggling to be apart from son Archie in recent weeks, after he and mum Harper (Jessica Redmayne) left the bay in early September.

Harper was forced to leave after being subjected to months of coercive behaviour by new boyfriend Beau (Blake Richardson), and Tane has made a number of visits to his son, but the long journeys are taking their toll.

“Tane’s leaving Summer Bay” is the synopsis for next Tuesday 27th October, and it looks like his exit will air the following day, as he “says goodbye” on Wednesday 28th October.

Thankfully, while Tane may be taking a break from the show, we already know that he’s not gone for good. Actor Ethan Browne has been spotted back on set on numerous occasions, and will even be bringing Archie on a visit to the bay in the months ahead.

With so much going on, Alf is missing Roo, who is currently in Merimbula visiting mum Martha.

“I just wish Roo was here,” he’s seen telling John (Shane Withington), as a shocking new storyline kicks off for his daughter as she goes missing.

We see a hand zooming in on a picture of Alf and Roo, but while the hand could be Alf’s, it could also be that of the mysterious man connected to her disappearance.

She should have been home two days ago,” Alf tells David, as he heads to Yabbie Creek police station to report Roo missing.

It seems she’s vanished on her way back to Summer Bay, and Alf is becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

It’s just not like Roo,” Alf tells David.

The promo then shows lights flashing in remote bushland, as police descend upon the scene of a burnt out car!

She can’t just disappear!” Alf is heard saying, before David and other officers are seen inspecting the burnt out vehicle.

Alf is then shown clutching his hand to his chest, as it becomes apparent that the car in question might be Roo’s!

there might be a simple explanation for this,” David reassures Alf. However, the promo makes it very clear that this isn’t the case.

We see a gloved hand on top of Roo’s phone, which has 4 unread messages from her dad.

The following shot then shows the same gloved hand reaching for a bloody hammer on top of some newspaper.

We then see the mysterious man using Roo’s phone – is he sending a message to Alf pretending to be his daughter?

As the promo returns to the crime scene, we see Alf surveying the devastation.

Now that he's back in Summer Bay, his fellow residents aren't happy to see him. But he's got a plan.

In scenes airing this week in Australia, Richie has a frosty reunion with David, who is struggling to move on from the incident.

David actor Jeremy Lindsay Taylor told Australia's TV Week: "David cannot forgive Richie for what he has done.

He gave him so many chances, showed him respect, believed in him and repeatedly turned a blind eye to his indiscretions, only to be shot by him!"

With his police career well and truly over, Richie sees a new opportunity: to win the Bronze Medallion race and land a job as a lifeguard.

 Upcoming Home and Away spoilers

Recent episodes of Home and Away in Australia have seen Tane (Ethan Browne) struggle to be apart from son Archie, who left Summer Bay with mum Harper (Jessica Redmayne) in early September.

Harper was forced to leave the bay after being subjected to months of coercive behaviour by new boyfriend Beau (Blake Richardson).

Beau was a steroid dealer who Sonny (Ryan Bown) met at the gym when he was recovering from the paralysis he suffered in the train crash at the beginning of this year.

He soon began dating Harper, but his controlling behaviour saw him track her location, isolate her from her friends and family, and eventually hit her.

After Sonny confessed to the police that Sonny was dealing from Summer Bay Fit, and Harper testified that Beau had hit her, he was eventually locked up.

However, Beau threatened Harper and Archie before being led away by the police, leaving Harper terrified that he would come after her and her son after his eventual release from prison.

She and Archie left Summer Bay alongside Dana (Ally Harris), planning on a fresh start somewhere where Beau could never find them.

Tane has since made a couple of trips to visit his son, but has struggled with the fact that he can no longer see him whenever he wants.

When Tane learnt that Archie seemed upset in the days after he returned from his most recent trip, it became clear that the absence was affecting the one-year-old as well.

In recent episodes, Tane learnt that Archie had been taken to hospital after falling off a swing in daycare. Upset that he was the last to know, he lashed out at Alf (Ray Meagher) as he reached the end of his tether.

Now, it appears that Tane will be saying goodbye to Summer Bay after more than 7 years, as he leaves to be closer to his son!

Tane’s departure is confirmed in spoilers for next week.

“Tane’s leaving Summer Bay” is the synopsis for next Tuesday 27th October, and it looks like his exit will air the following day, as “Tane says goodbye” on Wednesday 28th October.

In tomorrow’s episode, “Tane forges a new plan” as he decides that enough is enough.

A promo which aired in Australia after tonight’s episode saw Alf ask Tane: “You’re leaving the bay?”

Maybe it’s time,” Tane responds, before the promo shows him performing one last taiaha sequence at the beach he’s called home since 2020.

In Thursday’s triple bill, “Tane asks Mali a big favour,” which we suspect will be asking him to take over the running of Summer Bay Fit, as he was forced to do when Tane was behind bars earlier this year.

Thankfully, it appears that Tane’s exit won’t be forever.

A break for the character has been expected for a while, after actor Ethan Browne wasn’t spotted at Sydney’s Palm Beach for a number of months – but he returned to Home and Away‘s beach filming location at the end of June.

Footage from tour company CelebTime showed Mackenzie running towards Tane after spotting him outside the Surf Club.

While nothing is confirmed, it seems that Tane will eventually make a permanent return to Summer Bay, as he’s been seen at Palm Beach on a regular basis in recent weeks.

He’s set for a major storyline in 2027, as the show re-explores his feelings for Mackenzie (Emily Weir)!

Back in 2020, when Mackenzie was just embarking on her relationship with Ari Parata (Rob Kipa Williams), she began developing feelings for his brother Tane, which almost brought her and Ari’s fledgling relationship to an abrupt end.

Now, 7 years later, it looks like those feelings are set to re-emerge – seriously complicating Mac and Levi’s (Tristan Gorey) upcoming engagement.

It’s not the only shock in store for Mackenzie, as Levi’s ex-partner Imogen (Georgia Blizzard) is due to return early next year, seemingly with the news that Levi has a two-year-old daughter.

Tane’s feelings for Mackenzie were revealed in early September, when YouTubers R&F Adventures 2.0 witnessed a scene being filmed in which Tane confessed his feelings to his old crush.

The scene in question saw Mackenzie run up behind Tane, stopping him in his tracks as he tried to get away from her.

What are you doing? You said you’d try…” Mac could be heard saying in the clip uploaded to the R&F Adventures 2.0 YouTube channel.

As the scene continued, Mac stopped Tane as he walked away, asking him: “What are you saying? That you’re gonna pull out of my wedding?”

After nodding, Tane explained: “Listen to me.”

After some dialogue which couldn’t be made out, he continued: “I can’t [unclear]. Everything’s changed, alright?  I can’t stand beside you at your wedding and put on a happy face!”

“Why? Why not?” Mackenzie asked, becoming increasingly animated.

Because I have feelings for you!” Tane explained loudly, as Mackenzie reacted with shock. “I have feelings for you, okay?”

It’s clear that Mackenzie had no idea of Tane’s hidden feelings, as she put her arm on him and tried to shut him down.

“Please, don’t do this. Don’t say this, don’t say this. Don’t!” she replied, and after the conversation briefly continues, Tane walks away.

What am I gonna say to Levi?” Mackenzie called after him, before Tane told her he doesn’t know, and she should just lie.

“You’re good at that!” he finished, before leaving Mac alone and shellshocked.

In a scene filmed later on the same day, Tane was seen sitting at the beach alone, before being approached by Mac

What causes Tane’s feelings for Mackenzie to return isn’t yet clear, but could Mac turn to her former crush for emotional support – and perhaps more – after the revelation that her fiancé has a child with his ex-wife?
