Next week on Home and Away in the UK- Kerrie claims Tane wants to take Archie from Harper

 

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Kerrie continues to cause havoc as she plots to drive a wedge between Harper and Tane in order to build a relationship with grandson Archie.

Hearing about the troubled upbringing Harper (Jessica Redmayne) and sister Dana (Ally Harris) suffered at the hands of their neglectful addict parents, Tane (Ethan Browne) initially barred Kerrie (Sara Wiseman) from having any contact with Archie, despite Harper’s hope that her mother had turned over a new leaf.

Worried for his son after hearing that Harper had been meeting up with her mum, Tane took off with Archie overnight.

On his return, a furious Harper moved out of the Parata house with their son and began pursuing a formal custody arrangement through solicitors.

Tane eventually relented after Kerrie turned up in Summer Bay, but only on the condition that Kerrie was never left alone with Archie, and that he was kept up to date with any further developments.

Since learning of Tane’s reservations, Kerrie has repeatedly suggested that he is influencing Harper’s decisions, drawing comparisons with her late husband Warwick and questioning why Harper can’t see what she claims to be his controlling behaviour.

Next week, Kerrie is curious about Harper’s decision to become a social worker. Reflecting on her childhood, Harper explains how the kindness she and Dana experienced from social workers left a lasting impression, ultimately influencing her decision to pursue the same career.

Kerrie’s memory of social worker encounters is entirely different, of course, but she can at least acknowledge now that they were acting in the best interest of the girls.

At Salt that evening, John (Shane Withington) asks Harper to pass on to Dana and Sonny (Ryan Bown) his offer of assistance with their current situation. He’s been where Dana is in the past with his son Jett (Will McDonald).

Harper is clueless as to what John is talking about, and is shocked when he reveals that Sonny is suffering from paralysis following the train crash, unsure if he will ever walk again.

The next morning, in the diner, Harper decides that she’s going to head to the hospital to see Sonny and Dana, and asks Marilyn (Emily Symons) to look after Archie. Kerrie is hurt that she wasn’t asked instead, arguing that Archie is comfortable with her now.

Harper reminds her that Tane isn’t okay with that arrangement—but admits that even if he were, she still wouldn’t trust Kerrie to babysit. She recalls being left alone in their house with Dana for a week when she was only six-years old, tearfully explaining that the incident still haunts her.

I know I did some terrible things back then,” Kerrie explains through her own tears. “But I am not that person anymore.”

I’m happy that you’ve turned things around,” Harper gently replies. “But this is why I can’t leave you alone with my son. And I think you know that.”

Kerrie goes on to explain what happened, that Warwick had fallen into trouble with his dealer and that she had travelled to Kiama to help repay the debt.

Describing how their marriage was shaped by manipulation—what would now be labelled coercive control—Kerrie says she was trapped and blind to how far things had deteriorated.

Kerrie hopes she isn’t watching history repeat itself with Tane, but Harper immediately shuts that down, insisting she and Tane have a healthy co-parenting relationship.

Later, knowing Marilyn is babysitting Archie at the diner, Kerrie returns under the guise of ordering a coffee and spending time around her grandson, assuring Marilyn that she will remain in charge.

When gently asked why Harper is uncomfortable with her caring for Archie, Kerrie admits she wasn’t a good mother, acknowledging she prioritised partying and her husband over her daughters.

When Archie begins to grizzle, Marilyn—moved by Kerrie’s candour—encourages her to give him a cuddle.

Unfortunately for Kerrie, that’s the exact moment that Tane walks in, having heard from John that she was at the diner with Archie.

Taking Archie from her, he reiterates the agreed boundaries, making it clear he does not trust Kerrie to be alone with his son. Kerrie protests that she’s family, but Tane calmly collects Archie’s things from Marilyn and leaves.

When Harper later arrives to pick Archie up, she finds Kerrie alone. Kerrie claims Tane stormed in, ignored attempts to stop him and warned that Harper would never get Archie back!

Shaken, Harper confronts Tane. He questions why Archie was with Kerrie at all before firmly denying making any threats, insisting he would never keep Archie from her. If he intended to disappear, he argues, he’d be long gone.

Both agree that the only way forward is to confirm things with Marilyn.

But as soon as they arrive at Summer Bay House, the conversation quickly descends into another row. Harper presses Marilyn about whether Tane forced her to hand Archie over, while Tane insists she’s putting words in her mouth.

The pair talk over one another, each trying to steer the narrative, until Alf steps in and points out that they’ve come for clarity yet haven’t allowed Marilyn to get a word in edgeways.

Once Harper and Tane cool down, with Alf acting as mediator, Marilyn is finally able to give a clear account of what happened.

She explains that she willingly handed Archie over to Tane and did not feel pressured into doing so. Crucially, she confirms that no threats were made, and Tane did not say Harper would never see her son again.

Harper’s heart sinks as the truth is made clear—Kerrie was lying to her.

Harper and Tane confront Kerrie together. She initially claims Marilyn didn’t hear everything before shifting her stance, insisting she didn’t lie but merely felt Tane was aggressive.

Accusing him of being selfish and controlling, she’s met with Harper’s firm defence—Tane is a good father who loves his son. Frustrated, Kerrie storms off, telling them that they deserve each other.

The next morning, Harper discovers Kerrie has slept in her car. Although Kerrie snaps again, she later apologises for lying, whilst still arguing that Tane is coming between her and Archie.

Harper explains that Tane knows the truth about their childhood and is protective of Archie because of it. Kerrie admits she was a terrible mother, but reiterates that she’s trying to make amends.

Harper makes her position clear—if Kerrie wants to be part of Archie’s life, she must learn to get along with Tane.

When Kerrie insists Tane will never accept her, Harper leaves her with a final ultimatum—try, or walk away.

Home and Away confirms stalker terror as new character targets Lacey

 He can't take no for an answer.

A new trailer for Home and Away has hinted at a terrifying stalking ordeal for Lacey Miller as new character Holden Dwyer becomes obsessed with her. Played by former Neighbours star Lach Millar, the Summer Bay newcomer has been pursuing a relationship with Lacey, who's still struggling after the death of boyfriend Theo Poulos.

In the new clip, Holden insists the connection he feels with Lacey is "meant to be" and doesn't take no for an answer when she tells him she isn't interested and wants to be friends.

I just can't imagine being with anyone new right now," she says.

Awkwardness gives way to concern when Lacey returns home to Holden and a bouquet of red roses, leaving her convinced he's been "watching her".

"I'm falling in love with you, and I'm not gonna let anyone get in the way," an angered Holden, who makes up excuses to be in Summer Bay so he could see Lacey, also says in the clip.

Lacey confides in her loved ones about Holden's behaviour, standing her ground and telling him to "get away", though it seems that he isn't going anywhere.

During an altercation with Lacey, Mackenzie Booth tries to intervene but Holden assures her Lacey is "fine". As he continues advancing towards a frightened Lacey, Mali Hudson spots them and rushes to help.

After a furious Mali punches him in the face, Holden warns him: "You're going to regret this."

How far will Holden go? And is Mali on his radar too now?

Home and Away promo has suggested that Holden’s concerning behaviour will ramp up in the weeks ahead as he refuses to leave Lacey alone.

The 2025 Season Finale – which aired on Australian screens in November and will air in the UK later this week – introduced us to new character Holden Dwyer, played by former Neighbours star Lach Millar.

Holden and his friend Isaac (Jordan Dulieu) were on the train heading to Off the Rails music festival before it derailed, leaving numerous Summer Bay favourites in danger.

Sadly for Holden, his flirtatious friend Isaac died in the incident, while Lacey’s (Sophea Pennington) sister Jo (Maddison Brown) was also badly hurt in the derailment, after part of the roof of the train collapsed on top of her.

Holden and Lacey had a couple of brief interactions on the train, both going for the last Mimosa as drinks were being served, before later awkwardly brushing past each other in one of the narrow corridors between carriages.

Holden also stuck up for Lacey after she rejected Isaac and found herself on the receiving end of his hurt reaction.

In the aftermath of the crash, Holden found Lacey outside and made a beeline for her, asking if she’d seen Isaac, before Dana (Ally Harris) broke the news to him that his friend had died.

A week or so later, Holden and Lacey bumped into each other at Northern Districts Hospital, as Holden was attending a checkup on his injured shoulder, while Lacey was there visiting Jo.

Holden appeared to consider it fate that the pair had encountered each other again, and invited Lacey on a walk.

After spending most of the afternoon together, Holden asked Lacey if she’d like to join him for dinner that evening, and it was at that point that Lacey realised that Holden had mistaken her friendship for something more.

She ran off from Salt, closely followed by a confused Holden, prompting David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) – who happened to be just around the corner – to tell Holden to back off.

Lacey explained to her dad that Holden wasn’t the problem, she’d just become scared at the prospect of moving on from Theo (Matt Evans), who died last year.

In the weeks since Lacey turned him down, Holden has struggled to accept her decision, and his behaviour has become increasingly concerning as he’s continued to appear in Summer Bay with various excuses.

Mali (Kyle Shilling) was the first to pick up on Holden’s creepy behaviour when the newcomer booked a block of surfing lessons, despite having numerous beaches closer to home than the ones at Summer Bay.

When it became clear that Holden was far from a beginner, Mali’s hypothesis was confirmed – Holden was clearly only there for Lacey.

Mali soon cancelled Holden’s lessons, promising a full refund, and told him to stay away from the Surf Club.

As a result, Lacey found herself being confronted by Holden, demanding to know if she and Mali were an item. Lacey was confused, reiterating that she’s absolutely not ready to date anyone else, but Holden still seemed unwilling to believe her.

Now, a new promo has shown that Holden’s obsessive behaviour will continue in the weeks ahead, as he refuses to leave her alone, leading to a tense confrontation between Mali and Holden.

The promo opens with Harper and Lacey at the beach, with audio of Holden telling Lacey: “It kinda feels like this is meant to be.”

and I just can’t imagine being with anyone new right now,” Lacey tells Holden, as the promo cuts back to the moment in the Diner where she explained her running away after he asked her on a date. “Can we still just be friends?”

Then, in new footage, we see Lacey arriving home to the beach house to find a bouquet of red roses on the table.

As she turns around, she finds herself face to face with Holden, who’s somehow found out where she lives, and has seemingly let himself in to wait for her with the romantic surprise.

His soulmate?” asks the promo.

“It’s been pretty clear that he’s been watching me,” we hear Lacey say, as we see her walking through the house late in the evening.

She then sits on the sofa and looks at her phone, where she looks at a picture of herself working at the Surf Club, seemingly taken from afar by her new stalker.

Cutting back to Holden’s unexpected appearance at the beach house, he tells Lacey: “I feel like you’re avoiding me,” as she steps back in fear.

Then, at Salt, Holden warns Abigail (Hailey Pinto) to “stop interfering and leave us alone.”

I won’t tell you again,” he warns her.

At the Diner, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) gives a teary Lacey a hug, as we hear her saying “I told him that I didn’t want to see him.”

Then, cutting back to the beach house, Holden reveals the extent of his feelings.

“I’m falling in love with you,” he tells Lacey.

And I’m not gonna let anyone get in the way.”

The drama then ramps up at the beach, where Lacey backs away from Holden, telling him to “get away from me.”

Mackenzie (Emily Weir) comes across the situation and races towards them, where Holden signals for her to back off and assures her that Lacey is fine.

He then continues to walk towards Lacey as she panics and backs away.

How far will he go?” asks the promo’s voiceover.

As Holden lunges towards Lacey, a furious Mali rushes towards them.

Sporting a bloody lip and a black eye, Holden tells Mali: “You’re going to regret this!”

A shot from the Home and Away 2026 promo has already shown that Mali will find himself in the interview room at Yabbie Creek Police Station in the weeks ahead – will Holden follow through on his threat to make Mali regret his actions?

Lacey has already had plenty of bad luck since arriving in Summer Bay last year, what with ex-boyfriend and River Boy leader Gage (Tom Wilson) ending up behind bars, shortly followed by Theo’s devastating death.

Just how much does Lacey need to worry about her new friend’s behaviour?
