Home and Away 8684 Episode 23rd March 2026

 

Remi vows to support Sonny after an accident at the rehab clinic, as he keeps his impending radiotherapy secret.

 

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Remi vows to support Sonny after an accident at the rehab clinic, as he keeps his impending radiotherapy secret.

After being left paralysed in the train crash, Sonny (Ryan Bown) has begun the long road to recovery at a rehab facility.

Struggling to come to terms with the extent of his injuries, with uncertainty as to whether it could be permanent, he has pushed girlfriend Dana (Ally Harris) away—abruptly ending their relationship, and making it clear he doesn’t want her involved.

 

Next week, Sonny’s frustration continues to build at the rehab centre, as he struggles to engage with the activities needed for his recovery.

When Dana calls to say she understands why he’s pushing her away and that she’ll give him some space, Sonny shuts her down—insisting he’s not simply pushing her away, he’s ended things for good.

But the reality of his situation quickly hits home when he accidentally drops his phone and is unable to reach it from his wheelchair.

Left stretching down towards it, he grows increasingly frustrated as it remains just out of reach, Dana’s voice still calling out to him on the line.

Warren (Alfie Gledhill) later finds him still trying to retrieve it, only for Sonny to turn on him after learning he’d been speaking to Dana behind his back.

When Dana arrives at the clinic to check on him—worried after the call suddenly cut out—Sonny is blunt and dismissive, cutting her off and ordering her to leave.

when she tries to explain herself, he shuts her down completely, making it clear he wants her gone and telling her not to come back.

Back inside, fellow resident Louis (Adam Bowes) calls him out for ending things with Dana, warning he’ll regret it.

Sonny refuses to talk and attempts to wheel himself away—but in his haste, he clips a table, tipping himself out of the chair and crashing to the floor.

After Louis calls for help and staff lift Sonny into his chair, Warren insists he needs to be taken to hospital.

Sonny resists, not wanting to make a fuss, but Warren points out that without any feeling in his legs, there’s no way of knowing whether he’s been injured.

Taken to hospital, Sonny is soon given the all clear—but the incident forces a long-overdue visit from Remi (Adam Rowland), who was surprised to learn that he has now been listed as Sonny’s emergency contact, unaware that he’d dumped Dana.

Remi has been keeping his distance, not wanting to add to Sonny’s troubles by revealing his own brain tumour diagnosis.

Arriving at the hospital, Remi checks on Sonny—only to be met with deflection, Sonny brushing the whole thing off as a waste of time.

Remi meets Warren, questioning how Sonny was able to fall, but Warren insists the hospital visit is precautionary and that they’re doing everything they can to support his recovery.

Once Warren steps away to organise some transport back to rehab, Remi presses Sonny on what’s really going on.

Sonny initially snaps back, insisting Remi can’t understand what he’s dealing with.

Yet his façade slips as he reflects on the fall, pointing out he didn’t even know if he’d been hurt. For the first time, he openly questions if this is what his life looks like now.

Remi acknowledges the future Sonny is facing isn’t the one he planned, but insists that doesn’t mean he has to face it alone.

When challenged on ending things with Dana, Sonny explains she didn’t sign up for this, and he’s freeing her from it.

Returning to the rehab centre with Sonny, Remi is introduced to Louis, who quickly fills him in—pointing out that Sonny has been turning down all the activities on offer, from basketball to wheelchair races.

As they talk, the symptoms of Remi’s brain tumour begin to intrude, his hand seizing and his vision blurring as he steps outside.

Speaking to Warren, Remi learns just how much support Sonny will need—months of rehab, and potentially long-term help beyond the clinic if there’s any chance of him walking again.

The scale of that commitment is confronting, particularly given Remi’s own situation, but Remi promises to be there for him as Sonny finally resolves to knuckle down.

The following day, Remi prepares to begin radiotherapy, with Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) firmly by his side.

At the hospital, the pair wait to be called through, trying to keep things light as Remi admits he briefly lost his vision the day before.

When his name is finally called, Eden is forced to stay behind as Remi heads into the treatment room alone.

There, he is fitted with a mould that will harden to hold his head firmly in place—a claustrophobic process as it’s secured tightly over his face while he lies still for the procedure.

As Remi’s gruelling radiotherapy treatment begins, will it be enough to shrink his tumour?

---

Elsewhere in Summer Bay, after committing to marriage counselling following their recent troubles, Justin (James Stewart) and Leah (Ada Nicodemou) are determined to put the work in—starting with a homework task that sees them writing letters about their relationship.

Meeting in the diner to tackle it together, neither gets very far.

Leah can’t even make it past “Dear Justin,” whilst Justin quickly grows frustrated with the idea that homework will help rekindle their romance.

But as they push through, the exercise begins to pay off, with the pair laughing and teasing each as they work through the questions.

Their growing closeness soon spills over into some very public displays of affection.

Worried that the customers could lose their appetite—or their will to live—Marilyn (Emily Symons) steps in to gently suggest they either tone it down or take things somewhere more private.

Taking the hint, Justin suggests they continue elsewhere, with the pair heading to Salt in search of some uninterrupted time together.

But even that proves short-lived when John (Shane Withington) invites himself to join them for dinner, leaving Justin and Leah frustrated that they can’t get a moment alone in public to focus on rebuilding their relationship.

The following morning, Justin takes matters into his own hands, leaving Leah a surprise at the diner. A reminder, perhaps, that they have a whole house they can utilise for some alone time?

No, inside a garment bag is a dress, along with a Bay Motel business card that has a room number written on the back.

Later, Leah arrives at the motel to find a suited-up Justin waiting, having transformed the room with rose petals and champagne.

It has the desired effect, with the pair embracing the chance to ‘reconnect’ properly.

As they embrace in the afterglow, they reminisce about the early days of their relationship and admit just how happy they are to have found their way back to one another.

But as they prepare to leave, a throwaway comment from Leah about not wasting money on motels next time takes the shine off the moment.

Though she means nothing by it, Justin is clearly stung.

Back at the Diner, Justin apologises, worried Leah thinks his idea was silly.

Leah initially tries to smooth things over, but it’s only when she brings up the cost again—suggesting it was fine as a one-off but not something they should repeat—that Justin’s mood shifts.

Taking her comments the wrong way, he concludes that she sees the gesture as “tacky and expensive,” and shuts the conversation down, insisting he won’t bother next time.

As Justin walks away, Leah’s concerned that she may have just undone all their progress so far…

Here's how Neighbours sparked a surprise co-star romance after Aaron, Rhett and Colton's love triangle

 "It does feel like a Netflix movie within itself."

Neighbours star Liam Maguire has revealed how the love triangle between his character Rhett Norman, Aaron Brennan and Colton Keys sparked a surprise co-star romance. Airing last year, the storyline had viewers gripped as Aaron (Matt Wilson) chose between his competing love interests.

In the end, he picked Rhett over Colton (Jakob Ambrose) as they departed Ramsay Street together – while Colton stayed until the show's conclusion last year.

However, Liam has confirmed that he is now dating on-screen rival Jakob after working on the soap together.

I think we were both pretty intimidated by each other, which is always a great way to start a relationship," he quipped while speaking with former co-stars Matt and Takaya Honda on Bin Night with Tak and Matty, calling their courtship a "slow burn".

Recalling one incident that suggested there was something more between them, he shared: "We did have one time where we did run lines and it was quite funny. We sort of went to each other's house, and it was so tense."

Liam admitted they "just kept laughing" as they both suggested they should be serious and run the lines, and there was about two hours of tension before they parted ways.

There was probably a while of that and [making excuses to be around each other]," he continued. "There was a bit of that where it was like, 'why are you laughing?' And I was like, 'I'm just finding something funny'. It was very tense."

Calling the circumstances of their bonding "very specific", he added: "Even our relationship now, we're much further along past that, but there's a very specific quality to that.

It's funny, because these days when people go, 'how did you meet?' It's always online these days, and it's funny to be like, 'so we were warring love interests on Neighbours'. And they're like, 'that's crazy!' It's pretty funny. It does feel like a Netflix movie within itself."

During the chat, Liam suggested they were "very subtle" when they were striking up their romance around the time of the on-screen love triangle, notably as they were being "pinned" against one another as characters.

"Even now, people see us and we post photos and stuff, and people are like, 'Oh, it's so good that you guys ended up being friends!'" he joked.

David kicks Cash off Tane’s case after he puts up the money for his bail. Has Cash just made Tane’s chances of securing his freedom even less likely?

 

Just when Harper (Jessica Redmayne) and Tane (Ethan Browne) thought their troubles with her mum Kerrie (Sara Wiseman) were behind them, she made one final move before leaving the Bay.

With the quantity found causing the charges to be ramped up to dealing as well as possession, and with Kerrie having disappeared, Tane is facing an uphill battle to clear his name.

The fact that the police apparently haven’t managed to lift Kerrie’s fingerprints off the bag is something that continues to bewilder us—as is the nanny cam overlooking Archie’s cot, which must surely be a ‘Chekhov’s gun’ after it was prominently shown to the audience in the previous episode.

Next week, as Tane remains in custody awaiting his bail hearing, those closest to him become increasingly desperate to see him.

With Sergeant David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) tightly controlling access, Harper, Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Jo (Maddison Brown) realise their only option is to create a distraction.

Jo reluctantly agrees to draw her dad away from Yabbie Creek police station, arranging to meet him at the diner under the pretence of making amends for lashing out at him the day before.

As David waits for her, Harper and Mac head to the station and appeal directly to Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) to let them see Tane.

Though he initially hesitates, when it becomes clear that David won’t be back anytime soon, Cash allows them a brief, unofficial visit—warning them they’ll need to be quick.

As Mac speaks with Tane, urging him to follow his solicitor’s advice, Harper pulls Cash aside—raising her suspicions that Kerrie could be responsible for planting the drugs.

Cash admits he and Tane have come to the same conclusion, but with Kerrie missing and no evidence to support it, the theory remains unproven.

The visit is cut short when Jo texts to say that David is on his way back, forcing Cash to rush Harper and Mac out of the station via the back entrance, just as David returns in what must be record time from Summer Bay.

With Tane’s solicitor, Jane (Charlotte Friels), now present, David summons Tane for an interview.

As David begins pressing him about the drugs found at the house—suggesting the quantity points to intent to supply—Jane repeatedly shuts it down, instructing Tane not to answer.

Following her advice, Tane sticks to “no comment” as David continues, questioning how a stash of that size could end up hidden in his child’s room and raising the potential implications for Archie.

It’s the mention of child services that pushes Tane. Breaking his silence, he directs David towards Kerrie Matheson, insisting they should be speaking to her instead.

The claim raises an eyebrow from David—not least because Tane has inadvertently revealed that he’s already been having off-the-record chats with Cash about Kerrie as a possible suspect.

After the interview, a frustrated David pulls Cash aside and questions him about the theory that Kerrie planted the drugs.

Cash explains that she has both motive and means, pointing to her resentment towards Tane and her criminal record.

Though sceptical, David concedes it is a lead worth pursuing.

Making it clear it must be handled properly, he allows Cash to continue making enquiries for now—but insists that everything is done by the book and that he is kept fully informed.

Later in the week, one of the constables informs David that Cash has been allowing Tane’s friends in for unofficial visits. David takes note, but chooses not to act immediately.

That evening, with little option but to hope that Cash can track down Kerrie, Tane channels his frustration into a workout in his cell.

Meanwhile, with Tane’s bail hearing now set for the following day, and still no sign of Kerrie, Cash remains at the station after his shift, hopeful for any developments in the case.

His presence draws David’s attention, who questions why he’s still there.

As Cash attempts to justify himself, he suggests that David should head home, offering to keep an eye on things—something which only serves to heighten David’s suspicions.

Already aware of the unauthorised visits, David calls him out, making it clear he knows Cash has been overstepping.

Ordering him to go home, David delivers a pointed warning, reminding Cash that within those walls his responsibility is to the uniform—not his mate.

But Cash refuses to disengage. The following morning, he returns ahead of the hearing with a suit for Tane. 

David immediately challenges him, asking how that looks to the rest of the team.

Cash doesn’t back down, pointing out that it probably looks like he believes Tane is innocent.

Reminding him that he’s already been warned, David tells Cash he’s dangerously close to the line.

Cash insists that attending the bail hearing in his own time isn’t against the rules—but David makes it clear this is his last chance.

As Cash gives Tane the suit, Tane is under no illusions—his solicitor has already told him that bail is a long shot.

As they discuss what’s at stake, Tane acknowledges that if bail is refused he’ll be remanded in custody until trial, with no guarantee on how quickly a date will be set.

Cash agrees the situation is far from ideal, but assures him he’s going to find Kerrie before it gets to that.

Against everyone’s expectations, Tane is granted bail and released on electronic tag, with solicitor Jane successfully arguing that he is not a flight risk.

As he returns home to Saxon Avenue, the scale of what’s been done to secure his release quickly becomes clear—Cash has personally put up $40,000 for his bail.

Cash later brings Archie over so that father and son can be reunited, but as he leaves, he finds David waiting outside.

Having been informed about Tane’s release—and how it was secured—David confronts Cash, asking whether he listened to a single word he’d said.

Cash attempts to justify his actions, but David shuts it down, pointing out that posting bail for a suspect in an active case is a clear conflict of interest.

With that, David makes his decision.

Cash is being removed from the investigation, leaving Tane without his strongest ally on the inside as the case against him continues!
