1. Matty reaches out to Dylan

Dylan wakes up hungover on the toilet floor after relapsing the previous evening at his big event. He heads to work and is confronted by Matty, who watched him take his first drink. Matty feels betrayed and wants answers, but Dylan assures him that what happened was just a one off.

Later in resus, Dylan experiences debilitating flashbacks from his night of drinking and rushes out. Matty finds his dad and offers his support, but will struggling Dylan accept his help?

2. Faith returns to work

After deciding to return to work earlier than planned, Faith gets ready for her first shift at the ED – but when she avoids feeding baby Pearl before she leaves, Iain is left concerned. Faith throws herself back into work and steps up to the plate by offering to take the lead on a complex procedure when Flynn is unavailable. But has Faith done too much, too soon?

3. Rida hides her struggles

Laura tells Jodie she is scared about speaking at the upcoming council meeting, but says she’ll be there for support. But Jodie is blindsided when Iain says they need someone more serious to speak on their behalf at the meeting. Jodie is hurt by this and is supported by Rida – but will she realise that Rida has been having problems herself?

4. Rash is nervous

Rash admits he’s feeling nervous about his CESR presentation, one of the final steps towards becoming a consultant. Jessica returns to the ED with baby Arthur, and things are tense after Rash recently turned down her coffee invitation. Rida defends Rash to Jessica, but will this help Rash on an already stressful day?

5. Flynn takes action

Flynn recently agreed to sign Rory’s medical discharge papers after the death of his colleague in hospital. But he decided not to give up the fight, calling the Army to make a statement about Bard. Next week, he officially makes a statement to the military about his concerns. Will this be enough to bring down Bard?

6. Jan makes a confession

Viewers have seen Jan begin to develop feelings for Siobhan, feelings which have only intensified by Siobhan coming to stay with her while she doesn’t feel safe in her home. Jan is struggling with these potentially unrequited feelings, and next week she tells a colleague about the situation. Will she get some much-needed advice?

Abby is left heartbroken when Richie ends their relationship—but could she be about to find a very unexpected rebound?

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Abby is left heartbroken when Richie ends their relationship—but could she be about to find a very unexpected rebound?

Richie (Rocco Forrester-Sach) is facing the consequences of his catastrophic mistake, when the investigation into Summer Bay’s crime wave took a horrifying turn.

After Justin’s stolen van was traced to a campsite, Richie joined David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) at the scene. But when one of the suspects became aggressive, Richie panicked and fired his gun, despite David ordering him to stand down.

As David stepped in to stop the situation escalating any further, Richie pulled the trigger and accidentally shot his boss in the abdomen.

David was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, where new doctor Amelia Carlisle (Nicole da Silva) discovered signs of internal bleeding. When David then went into cardiac arrest, Amelia was forced to perform CPR as Jo (Maddison Brown) and Lacey (Sophea Pennington) arrived to find their dad fighting for his life.

Although Amelia managed to stabilise David and remove the bullet, his condition remains uncertain.

Next week, David wakes up in hospital, bringing huge relief for Jo and Lacey. His first concern is for his daughters, but Amelia can see that he’s far from okay himself despite putting on a brave face.

Lacey’s already struggling to contain her anger over what happened. When she and Jo later collect David’s belongings from the police station, she asks Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) whether Richie has been charged yet.

Cash explains that the matter is being handled by the conduct commission, but Lacey doesn’t see that as enough. David wasn’t hurt by one of the criminals he was trying to catch—he was nearly killed by one of his own officers.

Meanwhile, Richie’s barely holding himself together.

At the surf club, Justin (James Stewart) offers Richie some sympathy, unaware that he was the one who pulled the trigger.

Richie admits the truth, and by the time Abigail (Hailey Pinto) arrives, he’s breaking down. Even the news that David’s expected to recover can’t ease his guilt.

Abby tries to stand by him, but Cash has serious doubts about whether Richie can cope with the pressure of the job after everything that’s happened, pointing out that he officers like him can’t be trusted.

Richie overhears enough of their conversation to be shaken even further.

Richie later admits that his confidence around firearms now feels horribly misplaced, leaving him questioning whether he’d ever been ready for the job. Abby refuses to let him hide from what happened, urging him to apologise to David properly and offering to go to the hospital with him.

However, the sight of Richie in his hospital room sends David straight back to the moment of the shooting. His heart rate spikes, forcing Amelia to order Richie out whilst she works to calm David down.

Lacey and Jo arrive in the middle of the chaos and are horrified to find Richie there. Richie only wanted to apologise, but his presence has left David panicked, Lacey furious and Abby caught in the middle.

Back in Summer Bay, Richie starts to unravel, convinced that his police career could be over before it has properly begun. Abby tries to convince him that losing the job wouldn’t mean losing himself, but Richie is too overwhelmed to hear it and asks for space.

Abby’s loyalty to Richie soon causes more trouble when she crosses paths with Lacey at the surf club.

When Lacey gets worked up over Richie’s visit to David, Abby tries to calm the situation by reminding her that the shooting was an accident. But her attempt to explain Richie’s side only makes things worse, especially when she suggests David got in the way.

Lacey snaps and slaps Abby across the face.

Whilst Abby is left stunned, Richie returns to the bush campsite, attempting to make sense of what happened.

Cash finds him there and is honest about the difficult days ahead. Richie could be facing serious consequences, but Cash also makes a surprising offer—he’ll drive Richie to the city for the hearing and act as his support person.

Before they leave, they head back to the share house so Cash can collect his things. Abby asks if she can go with them, but Richie turns her down, explaining that the hearing is going to be tough and he needs to focus.

Then comes the blow Abby wasn’t expecting.

Richie tells her that he’s not in the right place for a relationship and that she deserves better.

Abby is hurt, pointing out that Richie doesn’t get to decide what she deserves, but he leaves with Cash all the same.

When she later finds Eden (Stephanie Panozzo), Abby is crushed after being slapped by Lacey and dumped by Richie in the space of a few hours.

She had genuinely believed Richie could be the one, only for him to walk away just as she was trying to stand by him.

Eden covers Abby’s shift at Salt and sends her home, but she’s not comfortable leaving her alone for the rest of the day. With Cash away supporting Richie at the hearing, she reluctantly turns to Remi (Adam Rowland) for help.

Remi isn’t convinced he’s the right person for the job, knowing that Abby usually has no patience for him.

His doubts seem justified when he arrives at the share house and Abby immediately snaps at him, but her mood shifts once she realises he’s only there because Eden was worried.

Remi’s solution to heartbreak isn’t the most sophisticated, but it does the trick—tequila.

After a few drinks, the awkwardness begins to fade—even if Remi’s attempt to joke that Abby may have “dodged a bullet” with Richie proves badly timed.

The evening takes a more sincere turn when Remi tells Abby she deserves someone who actually sees how great she is. Abby is caught off guard by the kindness, admitting it may be the nicest thing he has ever said to her.

By the time Eden gets home, Abby is no longer sitting around crying over Richie. Instead, she’s dancing around the living room and trying to pull Remi into joining her.

Eden laughs as she watches the unlikely pair together, surprised by the change in Abby after seeing her so devastated earlier. Then her smile fades as she realises what may be going on.

The next morning, Abby continues the unexpected show of gratitude by cooking Remi breakfast before work.

Once Abby has gone, Eden shares her theory with Remi. After seeing them together the night before, and now finding Abby making him breakfast, she’s convinced her sister may have developed a rebound crush.

Remi is completely baffled by the idea, insisting that Abby is simply trying to get over Richie. But Eden isn’t so easily talked out of what she thinks she saw.

Could Abby’s heartbreak over Richie have sparked an unexpected crush on Remi?

Home and Away star Emily Weir reveals the life-changing decision that saved her after battling inner demons: 'Sometimes things have to break'

 Home and Away star Emily Weir has opened up about her sobriety journey, revealing she has now been alcohol-free for eight years after quitting drinking in 2018.

The actress, 34, told this week's Stellar magazine that she turned to alcohol to cope with crippling anxiety before making the life-changing decision to stop drinking.

Emily said she has continued to prioritise her sobriety with the help of a 12-step program, which she joined four years ago.

'Sometimes things have to break in order to be rebuilt,' she said.

'These ideas we have about ourselves – and what a woman should be and how an actress should be – these are old, old ideas. They have to break in order to birth something new.'

The actress also reflected on changing attitudes towards alcohol since giving up drinking, saying the rise of the 'sober curious' movement has helped reduce the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health.

We're more aware of mental illness... there seems to be less shame,' she said.

'I'm a big believer that silence, in regard to addiction and mental health, is something that fuels it. When you can talk about it and be honest and vulnerable about it, there's healing in that.'

While she acknowledges not everyone feels comfortable discussing their struggles, Weir said she hopes sharing her own experience can encourage others.

'I feel comfortable in sharing it, not to flaunt it, but to give hope that you can live a really amazing life on the other side of anything,' she said.

About six months after giving up alcohol, Emily landed the role of Mackenzie Booth on Home and Away, joining the long-running soap in 2019.

Since then, her character has been at the centre of several emotional storylines, including infertility and pregnancy loss.

Emily said she was drawn to the show's willingness to tackle difficult issues, adding that conversations around fertility remain taboo for many families.

'I don't think we're fully out of the woods with that, especially where a lot of our show reaches,' she said.

Although she is not a parent herself, the actress said the storyline resonated because several women close to her have experienced IVF and fertility struggles.

'Many women in my circle have had to go through IVF, the loss of fallopian tubes or an array of fertility issues. I've been present in that experience with them over the years,' she said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Emily spoke about the importance of surrounding herself with authentic people and credited several older female colleagues for helping shape both her career and outlook on life.

The Brisbane-raised actress admitted she almost gave up acting as a teenager because she believed 'being a theatre kid wasn't cool'.

After travelling overseas following school, she eventually returned home and pursued acting, later fulfilling a childhood dream by joining Home and Away.

Reflecting on the lessons she has learnt over the years, Emily said she is no longer a people-pleaser and hopes to encourage other women to embrace boundaries and authenticity.

'It's important to break this idea of perfectionism,' she said.

'It's about having agency and autonomy. Those things are possible when people get authentic.'

The pain of Emily's parents' divorce when she was in her early 20s saw her turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism, but she managed to quit prior to being cast in Home and Away in 2019.

EastEnders star Samantha Womack to lead "poignant" drama about Queen Elizabeth II

 It's going on tour in just a few months.

EastEnders legend Samantha Womack has landed her latest role, as one of the two leads in a play about Queen Elizabeth II from Daisy Goodwin, the creator of ITV's Victoria.

By Royal Appointment will focus on how the image of the world's longest-reigning monarch was created, with Ronnie Mitchell actor Womack set to play the Dresser.

Elizabeth II herself will be played by another member of soap royalty: Jane Asher from Crossroads, and that infamous final episode.

Downton Abbey actor David Robb and The Windsors' Matthew Cottle also star in the new tour, playing The Designer and The Milliner, respectively.

The official synopsis reads: "The late Queen Elizabeth II was famous for her discretion. She never said anything in public that could ruffle the lightest of feathers. But she had one way of expressing what she really thought – through her wardrobe.

By Royal Appointment is a funny, poignant and celebratory new play about the kind of power that only a Queen can wield – she charms the world through coats and admonishes her family through a carefully-chosen hat.

"But the Queen herself is uninterested in fashion, her look is managed by her Designer, her Milliner and most powerful of all, her Dresser who was a working-class girl who goes from advising the Queen on the colour of her lipsticks to the real power behind the throne. But the Dresser, like all royal favourites, is living on borrowed time.

"By Royal Appointment is a behind the scenes peek into the world of our most popular monarch and the image she presented to the world."

The play first premiered last year, with this new tour taking it around the UK with a new cast.

Shows have been announced for late September through early February, with more dates set to be revealed later.

The confirmed dates so far are:
