Things aren't looking good.
Home and Away will air another worrying development for Eden Fowler this week, following her aplastic anaemia diagnosis. While enjoying the company of her family, Eden suffers a second collapse, leaving everyone fearing the worst.
Eden received her initial diagnosis earlier this month, after collapsing in Salt and being rushed to hospital. There, Cash Newman noticed mysterious bruises on his wife's back, prompting doctors to perform a bone marrow biopsy to determine the issue.
In upcoming Australian-paced episodes, Cash reluctantly agrees to set up another distanced family gathering for Eden, despite knowing how tired she is from treatment. Eden enjoys the beach picnic with her siblings and dad Jimmy, who has arrived in town.
After noticing Eden dozing off during the lunch, Cash escorts her to the car. The family are horrified when she collapses again, with Levi calling an ambulance for help.
At the hospital, Amelia shares the worrying update that Eden's blood and platelet count is too low, with the treatment impacting her liver and kidneys. Overcome with stress and emotion, Cash breaks down in tears.
Cash is touched by the huge turnout and wants to show Eden just how loved she is. He decides to surprise her by driving past the van on their way home from the hospital. But will they be able to find a viable donor before her condition deteriorates further?
Abigail gives Dee Dee her phone number.
Hollyoaks has aired a shocking incident involving Dee Dee Hutchinson as part of the soap's grooming storyline with Abigail Matthews.
Announced in July, the storyline will see Abigail form a disturbing 'friendship' with Dee Dee as she takes advantage of the vulnerable teenager following the death of her mother, Diane.
Later, Dee Dee saw Abigail crying in her car, so she attempted to comfort her by telling her all the good things that she had done for people.
Dee Dee leant in for a kiss, but Abigail pulled away, saying she couldn't do that, though she was seen smirking as Dee Dee ran away.
In today's episode (14 September), Abigail watched as Dee Dee shared a kiss with Maddox. Abigail spoke to Dee Dee at school, telling her that she believed she's extraordinary.
While they were alone, Abigail got Dee Dee to read an inappropriate passage from a book. She encouraged Dee Dee to enter a drama competition and took her mobile number, saying: "Well, it's easier for me to message you rather than email. You teenagers don't check your inbox."
Later, Dee Dee took a suggestive photo for Maddox but accidentally sent it to Abigail. Dee Dee panicked and quickly deleted the picture, but Abigail managed to screenshot the image before it was removed.
"Young people, particularly teenagers, are at a pivotal age where making good choices is hard, while wanting to be independent," a TDI spokesperson said. "The Hollyoaks storyline will highlight that in order to do that, any ‘secret’ friendship or relationships should be questioned.
"Think about why someone would ask you to keep a healthy friendship a secret? Speak to a friend, or family member, or anonymous helplines are available."
What's next in Summer Bay?
Coming up on Home and Away, the race to find a suitable stem cell donor for Eden is on, but Cash fears his wife could be running out of time.
Elsewhere, Tane is on the warpath with Sonny, Amelia and David get intimate, and Zane learns a heartbreaking truth.
Here's a full collection of 11 big moments to come.
David apologises to Lacey for hurting her feelings, then makes his way to Amelia's motel room.
The couple meet in the corridor, excited to take their relationship to the next level.
The doctors finally allow Eden to be discharged from hospital but she's told to isolate and avoid contact with others to limit the risk of infection.
But the enormity of what they're facing soon hits and Cash finds Eden crying on the bed. Can he be strong for her when he's also falling apart?
In need of a distraction, Eden and Cash arrange a socially distanced breakfast with Levi and Abigail. But the meal ends with more bad news – Levi is also not a match.
As Eden puts on a brave face, Abigail feels guilty that her past drug abuse means she won't have the chance to help.
Later, David finds Amelia at the beach and tells her that Lacey and Jo are on board with their relationship.
The smitten pair share a kiss and agree to keep all physical encounters at Amelia's, for now.
On Remi's advice, Sonny tries to say sorry but Tane is clear in his response – if you can't get Archie back, then we're done.
Their ugly confrontation leaves Sonny in despair and Remi decides to move out of Tane's so he can keep an eye on his friend.
Cash is triggered by memories of being sent away by his dad when his mum was sick, and knows how important it is to have family around.
The new place is half a day's drive away, but despite the distance, Tane refuses to be mad with Harper.
In his eyes, there's only one person to blame for separating him from his son and that's Sonny.
It makes for tough reading as Zane learns Heidi has been permanently damaged by the injuries he caused during the robbery.
Amongst the paperwork is a post-it note from Heidi's family with the words 'we will never forgive you'.
Levi is all in favour of them getting tested as he's run out of other options to save his sister.
Sensing Levi's increasing stress, Mac makes a secret call to Jimmy asking him how soon he can get to the Bay.
The next morning, Marilyn tells David she thinks they should try and contact Heidi's family again, but he feels that would be very unwise.
Zane ultimately decides to leave things well alone as he rips up Heidi's medical paperwork and hands it back to Marilyn.
The Fowler family arrange a picnic near the beach, giving Eden the chance to catch up with her dad. But as Cash helps Eden out of the car, Jimmy is shocked to realise how frail she has become.
Will this public gathering put Eden's ailing health under further risk?
This week on Home and Away in Australia
Last week, those hopes were dashed when his results ruled him out, alongside their parents and Eden’s husband Cash (Nicholas Cartwright).
Hoping to ease her loneliness, Cash and Levi arranged a socially distanced lunch outside the farmhouse, allowing Eden to spend some time with her siblings and Mackenzie (Emily Weir).
He’s trying to keep Abby positive whilst facing questions from Eden about whether she’s going to die, and despite his medical knowledge, he cannot give her the answer she desperately wants.
Meanwhile, Remi’s (Adam Rowland) dismayed to discover from Mali (Kyle Shilling) that Eden has left hospital without him knowing. Having been busy supporting Sonny (Ryan Bown) through his own difficulties, Remi feels increasingly removed from his best friend’s situation.
As Levi confides in Mac, she decides he needs more support than he’s willing to ask for. Slipping away to a quiet spot, she calls Jimmy and asks him how soon he could get to Summer Bay.
When Jimmy unexpectedly arrives that evening, admitting that Mac invited him, Levi’s grateful that she went against his wishes.
Abby soon turns up, having been sent home by Mac in order to spend some time with her dad, and talk soon turns to whether Jimmy can see Eden. Levi’s cautious, but Abby persuades him that they can at least ask the question.
In a promo for this week’s episodes, Eden begins to question what her illness means for Cash, pointing out that this isn’t what he signed up for.
Cash is unwavering in his response, telling Eden that marrying her was the best decision he ever made.
“There’s a deep strengthening in their bond and connection. These people are Eden’s strength, so to be isolated from them and the outside world really takes its toll.”
Having already lost his mother, father and sister, he can’t face the possibility of losing his wife too.
With his wife facing another setback, Cash breaks down in tears during a moment alone.
The following day, Mali brings Remi and Sonny news of an opportunity to help—the blood donation trailer is due to visit Summer Bay.
The trio set about encouraging as many people as possible to attend, hoping their efforts could make a difference for Eden.
“There’s something that will lift your spirits,” he tells her as they drive home, taking her to see the turnout at the blood donation trailers.
Could Summer Bay’s efforts help bring Eden the match she so desperately needs?
