Home and Away spoilers for next week 12 to 16 October 2026

 What's next in Summer Bay?

Coming up on Home and Away, Richie's return causes unrest in Summer Bay as Abigail must decide where her loyalties lie.

Elsewhere, Cash finds a support group to help him and Eden, and Marilyn receives devastating news about Zane.

Here's a full collection of 14 big moments coming up.

Cash is on the hunt for help

Eden and Cash take a trip out to Salt, but as exhaustion quickly sets in, Eden is forced to return home to the sofa.

John soon arrives at the house, keen to help and let Cash know he doesn't have to carry the burden of caring for Eden alone.

On John's advice, Cash manages to find an online aplastic anaemia support group and leaves a message on one of its forums.

Marilyn feels Zane has been failed

Over at the police station, Zane pleads with Marilyn to stop campaigning for his release and accept that he belongs in prison.

Marilyn storms back to the Diner and accuses John of saying something that triggered Zane's rage.

John defends himself but Marilyn still feels the community has completely failed Zane.

Marilyn says goodbye to Zane

Mali catches up with Marilyn and is able to give her some valuable insight into Zane's headspace.

Marilyn returns to the police station where she and Zane say their final goodbyes before he's transferred to prison.

Heartbroken Marilyn tries to put on a brave face and carry on, but once alone in the Diner store room, she breaks down in tears.

 Levi has news for Amelia

Levi asks Amelia if she knows any surgeons that would operate on his hand so he can return to work at the ED.

Amelia is left wondering if this means she could soon be out of a job and explains how much she's warmed to Summer Bay.

Afterwards Levi catches up with Abigail and is shocked to learn Richie is back on the scene. He urges his sister to ignore the haters and follow what's best for her.

Cash won't give up on Eden

Eden is frustrated to learn Cash has been discussing their situation on a forum without permission.

Cash defends his actions and tells Eden he's found a woman who's still alive three years after failing to find a stem-cell donor. He suggests meeting her, but Eden angrily shuts him down.

But despite their differing opinions, Cash refuses to give up on finding a way to save Eden.

 Marilyn is questioning herself

Leah takes the day off to support Marilyn, who's struggling in the wake of Zane's imprisonment.

Over lunch, Leah tries to comfort her friend, but Marilyn insists she can no longer live with such an open heart.

Alf overhears this and follows Marilyn out, reminding her of how much she helped Jett and that her kind nature is the reason everyone loves her.

 Sonny and Remi switch roles

Remi is keeping a close eye on Sonny at Salt, much to his best mate's annoyance.

Justin finally manages to drag Remi away from the bar and invites him to dinner. After the meal, Justin advises Remi to leave Sonny be and focus his attentions on Eden instead.

Remi finally backs off and Sonny realises it's his time to be there for his friend.

Lacey wants Richie gone

Abigail summons Richie to her place to discuss their future. The exes agree to give their relationship another try, but take things slowly.

They head out for dinner, but run into Lacey who makes it clear how disgusted she is to see Abigail back with the guy who shot David.

Lacey orders Richie to leave Summer Bay, which makes Abigail doubt her decision to get back together. But Levi stands by Richie and urges him to give things time.

Richie declares his love for Abigail

Bolstered by Levi's words, Richie declares his love for Abigail and she's won over by his commitment.

But David is triggered by traumatic memories when he comes face-to-face with Richie for the first time.

Lacey switches into emergency-mode as she vows to protect her dad, but Amelia points out David is an adult and they don't have a right to force Richie out of town.

 Amelia's job is under threat

Amelia admits to Levi that she doesn't want to give him his job back, but he remains set on his plan to return to the ED.

Levi questions what's changed Amelia's decision to stick around and she admits David is the reason.

But will there be room for both Levi and Amelia at the hospital?

 David sets boundaries with Richie

Amelia is concerned when David fails to return home for the night and heads to the station to find him.

David tries to downplay how affected he was by seeing Richie, but takes up Amelia's advice of meeting up with him in person.

Richie explains he's come back for Abigail, but David makes it clear they'll never be friends and asks him to stay away from his family.

 Lacey makes peace with Abigail

With the boundaries set, David returns to Lacey and tells her it's time they all moved on with their lives.

Lacey takes her dad's advice and goes to repair her fractured friendship with Abigail.

The girls call a truce, with Lacey giving Abigail her blessing to carry on dating Richie.

 Marilyn receives news about Zane

Marilyn returns to work after two days off and tells Alf and Leah how worried she is about Zane's sentencing.

Alf does some digging and learns that Zane was given eight months for breaching parole, plus 17 months for assaulting an officer. On top of this, he must serve the remainder of his original sentence.

He relays the news to Marilyn, who's disappointed with how things have worked out for Zane.

 Richie moves in with Justin and Leah

Leah and Justin remain worried for David, but Marilyn feels sorry for Richie and believes he deserves a second chance.

Leah takes Marilyn's words to heart and offers Richie the spare room at her and Justin's.

But when Justin arrives home, he's caught off guard to find Richie there. How is he going to explain this one to David?

Eden enlists her friends and family to organise a wedding anniversary celebration for her and Cash – but will it be the only one they ever celebrate?

This week on Home and Away in Australia

It’s an emotional time in Summer Bay right now, on the one year anniversary of Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and Eden’s (Stephanie Panozzo) wedding day.

The joyous occasion took a tragic twist when Theo (Matt Evans) left the celebrations early to help Lacey (Sophia Pennington) confront her mother’s killer, a decision which would result in Theo’s death.

While Leah (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin (James Stewart) are quietly commemorating the anniversary of Theo’s passing, it should be a celebratory affair around the corner at Cash and Eden’s place.

However, with Eden’s aplastic anemia diagnosis turning their world upside down in recent months, their anniversary isn’t top of Cash’s priority list.

He’s only just beginning to come to terms with the fact that his wife might die if a compatible stem cell donor isn’t found soon, and Eden has had to force him to discuss what would happen if a match isn’t found.

With Eden refusing to stay optimistic – in Cash’s eyes, seemingly accepting defeat – Cash has turned to the internet for support.

Having found an aplastic anemia support group online, he’s been buoyed by the story of a patient who is doing okay three after her diagnosis, despite her doctors having been unable to find her a stem cell donor.

Eden was dismissive of Cash’s optimistic story, pointing out that just because that particular patient has survived, it doesn’t mean that she will. Yet Cash is determined for Eden to live, and will do anything in his power to make that happen.

This week, TV Week reports that Cash finds a diet plan in the online group, and believes that healthy eating will be a key part of keeping Eden’s health up.

However, as a picture from this week’s episodes shows, he’s got mixed feelings as he tries one of the meals.

He’s not the only one – when he invites Remi (Adam Rowland) to sample his “tofu surprise”, the response from Eden’s best friend isn’t particularly encouraging: “Is the surprise that people actually eat it?”

Meanwhile, Eden is determined to mark her wedding anniversary. Yet when she suggests to Cash that they have a celebration, her husband tries to put a stop to things.

Our first wedding anniversary should be so special,” she tells Cash.

“We’re not risking your health,” Cash retorts, but Eden tells him that that should be her decision to make. 

When Levi hears that Cash isn’t keen on Eden’s plans for a celebratory party, he confronts his brother in law.

So this is about protecting her?” Levi (Tristan Gorey) asks Cash, who replies that “this is about not sacrificing her health for a party.”

At home, Cash breaks down as he looks at a picture of him and Eden from his wedding day, fearful that this could be the only anniversary the two of them ever have.

After Cash’s lukewarm reception to her plans, Eden refuses to give up.

She laments to Remi that “tomorrow might be the only anniversary I’ll ever get to celebrate.”

“I just need everyone to stop treating me like I’m made of glass,” she explains. “I have to celebrate my marriage while I still can.”

Going against Cash’s wishes, Eden enlists her friends and family to help her put on a special event at the Summer Bay lighthouse.

As Remi helps plan the surprise, he tasks Levi with distracting Cash as they put preparations in place.

Levi pretends that he just wants to spend the day hanging out with Cash, but with the pair having never been particularly close friends, Cash sees right through him.

Levi is soon forced to reveal the truth – Eden is planning a surprise party up at the lighthouse – and Cash doesn’t know whether to be angry or delighted.

The pair eventually make their way up to the lighthouse, where Mackenzie (Emily Weir) is waiting with champagne, as Remi watches on with a huge smile on his face.

Where’s…” Cash begins, before spotting his wife in a beautiful red dress.

As Eden carefully gets up and walks towards him, Cash is taken right back to their big day a year ago.

Fancy seeing you here,” he says to his wife, as the celebrations get underway.

It’s a deeply emotional time but filled with so much love and gratitude,” Stephanie tells TV Week.

“We knew going into this that we really wanted to honour this storyline the best that we could. We are lucky in the sense that we have worked together for over four years. So, we have that level of comfort and trust with each other as actors.”

Can Cash put his fears to one side for one afternoon to celebrate his marriage?

While Eden may have got her wish of a wedding anniversary celebration, she’s still got a long road ahead of her.

A promo which recently aired on Channel 7 shows that her condition will continue to deteriorate in the weeks ahead, as Cash is forced to rush her to hospital after another collapse.

We’re also set for a return from Gary Morrow (Peter Phelps), with another recent promo showing Cash embracing his foster father as he continues to struggle with the idea of losing Eden forever.

Will a match be found for Eden before it’s too late?

Home and Away star Tammin Sursok cuts ties with Sam Wood's fitness business following domestic violence charge: 'Zero tolerance

 Tammin Sursok has stepped away from her partnership with Sam Wood after the fitness guru's domestic violence charge this weekend. 

The former Home and Away actress, who has previously appeared alongside Wood in promotional videos for his 28 by Sam Wood company, issued a statement on Monday indicating that the business relationship is on 'pause'. 

'I'm aware of the serious charges reported in the media involving Sam Wood,' the 43-year-old wrote in a message shared on Instagram.  

'I want to be clear that I have zero tolerance for domestic and family violence. It's an issue I care deeply about, and one that I will always stand firmly against,' she continued.

'In light of the reports, I have immediately paused my partnership with 28 by Sam Wood and removed related promotional content from my social channels while this matter is before the courts.

'My thoughts are with anyone impacted by domestic and family violence.'

'I'm aware of the serious charges reported in the media involving Sam Wood,' the 43-year-old wrote in a message shared on Instagram Stories

Sursok has appeared in a series of videos spruiking the 28 by Sam Wood workout program, some of which remain posted on her social media pages. 

In one clip, Wood is shown encouraging Sursok to exercise despite not having the right outfit on; in another, she shows how easily she can incorporate the workouts into her daily routine. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Sursok for further comment. 

The Bachelor star, 46, who has three children with his wife, Snezana, was arrested on Saturday after police attended a property on Noosa's main street.

Wood did not appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday, with the matter instead being dealt with by his lawyer, Mathew Cuskelly.

Mr Cuskelly asked for the case to be relisted on Thursday, when Wood is expected to apply for bail.

The celebrity fitness trainer will remain in the local watchhouse until at least Thursday, when the case is due to return to court.

A police spokesperson said officers attended the Hastings Street address at about 9pm on Saturday after receiving reports of alleged domestic violence.

On Monday Sursok indicated that the business relationship is on 'pause'

'Police have charged a 46-year-old Victorian man with domestic violence offences early this morning, 4 October,' the spokesperson said.

'The man has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence) and strangulation in a domestic setting.' 

The multimillion-dollar wellness businesses fronted by Wood have also responded to the allegations and stood him down.

Wood founded fitness and training business 28 by Sam Wood, which he sold for $71 million to DBG Health in 2022 while remaining the face of the online platform under its new owner.

'DBG Health, the parent company of 28 by Sam Wood, has zero tolerance for domestic violence,' a DBG Health spokesperson said.

'While the matter is under investigation and before the court, Sam Wood is on indefinite leave from his duties. Our thoughts are with the family and anyone in the community affected by domestic violence.

'Mark Watkins, 28 Group's Chief Operating Officer, will be leading the business in Sam Wood's absence.'

The move also affects Wood's role with Ollo For Women, a medical weight-loss business also owned by DBG Health.

Wood was announced as the face of the newly launched platform just four months ago, promoting its medical weight-loss, nutrition and telehealth services.

 The fitness entrepreneur is married to Snezana Wood, who he met on The Bachelor Australia in 2015.

They wed in an outdoor ceremony in Byron Bay in 2018 and went on to have three children together, Willow, eight, Charlie, seven, and Harper, four.

They also co-parent Eve, 21, who is Snezana's daughter from a previous relationship.

Wood and his wife publicly addressed the allegations together on Monday morning.

'This is a difficult time for all of us, we are working through this as a family and are thoroughly co-operating with the authorities,' they said, sharing the statement on both of their Instagram accounts.
