Home and Away reveals first look at huge new crime storyline

 "Think again."

There's set to be more disturbance in Summer Bay as Home and Away teases a huge upcoming crime storyline. The soap's official Instagram account shared an incredibly dramatic teaser as the show heads into a dark storyline.

The teaser shows a bunch of picturesque shots of the beach and happy couples as it reveals that new love is blossoming in the coastal town.

However, that good feeling doesn't last for long as a crime scene is soon shown, complete with rows of police tape. The caption reads: "Think you know what's coming next in Summer Bay? Think again."

It's already been reported that a missing person storyline is in the works for Ruth 'Roo' Stewart, with fans spotting missing posters proclaiming her last whereabouts and a crime scene involving a burnt-out car.

According to the posters, Roo was last spotted at Swan Parade, Bayfield as she travelled back to Summer Bay in a black Toyota C-HR.

And in the new promo, more information is disclosed as Roo's father Alf is seen at the sidelines of the crime scene, as Sergeant David Langham is seen walking towards him.

But that's not all, as Back to the Bay further reports that filming from episodes show Leah also approaching the same area along with Alf, Marilyn and Justin holding a bouquet of flowers.

What is even more concerning to fans is that an actor was spotted playing a coroner carrying off a dead body - so could this be the end of Roo?

Elsewhere in the bay, there's some more drama surrounding Richie's return following his accidental shooting of Sergeant Langham during a robbery.

Now having been fired from the force, he returned to reconcile with ex-girlfriend Abigail, an offer she is seriously considering.

Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter launching big new project away from the soap

 "Coming soon…"

Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter has unveiled her new project. The soap star is best known for her role as Theresa McQueen, but now, she's growing her brand outside of the show.

On Instagram, she shared a picture of her new business, a beauty salon named Porter's Parlour, writing in the caption: "Coming soon..."

She also shared a little bit more on her Instagram Story, as she wrote: "Something very exciting is happening.. I can’t wait to share it with you."

The business's Instagram page further reveals that they offer brow, lashes, and nail treatments, as well as their price list and location.

In another post, it exclaimed that they were embarking on a "new chapter", adding: "With the previous owner moving on to her own new space, an exciting opportunity came our way, and we couldn’t say no.

We’re SO excited to finally introduce to you: PORTER’S PARLOUR. Brand new look, fresh start and some BIG plans ahead. All appointments will continue as normal and you’ll still find us where we usually are, just under a new salon owner and salon!

“This is the only the beginning. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming next. Love, Jorgie Porter, Hannah, Millie, Nicole and Chelsea."

Porter first joined Hollyoaks in 2008, later rejoining the cast in 2020, and her character has been in some pretty dramatic storylines.

She has been in an incredibly complicated relationship with Dodger Savage, which came to a rather abrupt end as she revealed that she hadn't been taking her contraceptive pill for a few months.

Dodger then used this opportunity to break up with her and not mention his affair with Cleo, leaving Theresa in tears.

However, a special scene filmed in Chester has Theresa along with other characters at the forefront of an incredibly dramatic moment signalling the return of Ste, whose disappearance has been a great source of mystery.

UK Home and Away Spoilers Cash refuses to talk about Eden's death News

 Next week on Home and Away in the UK, as Cash refuses to discuss the possibility of Eden dying, a surprise return brings comfort for Abigail.

Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) has been holding out hope of finding a stem cell donor following her diagnosis with aplastic anaemia, but her recent collapse has made the search even more urgent.

With the doctors forced to withdraw her immunosuppressant treatment, and no match yet found, Eden knows she needs to consider what happens if she doesn’t recover. Yet husband Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) is struggling to accept that it’s a conversation they need to have.

Next week, Cash throws himself into a lengthy run after Eden’s father Jimmy (Aaron Jeffery) encourages him to take a break. Whilst it was suggested as a way to clear his head, it soon becomes Cash’s way of avoiding the house, where he can’t bear to hear anyone discussing the possibility that Eden might die.

When David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) spots him from the Salt balcony and goes to check in, Cash admits that he doesn’t want to go back home. David gently reminds him that, however things turn out, he needs to be with his wife.

Heading back to Saxon Avenue, Cash makes it as far as the front door before hesitating. But his train of thought is quickly interrupted when a taxi pulls up on the driveway, and Eden’s mum Debra (Tammy MacIntosh) steps out.

Deb immediately pulls her son-in-law into a hug, brushing aside his protests that he’s sweaty from his run.

Her arrival finally prompts Cash to head inside, where Eden and Abigail (Hailey Pinto) are delighted to see their mum. Jimmy reveals that he was the one who asked his ex-wife to come, much to Abby’s surprise.

Deb quickly picks up on Cash’s reluctance to face what’s happening, prompting both parents to quietly question whether Eden is getting the support she needs

Eden defends Cash, explaining that he’s been constantly by her side. After everything he’s already lost, she understands why he’s finding this so difficult, and insists that she needs to find the right moment to speak to him herself.

That evening, Eden joins Cash beside the firepit and tries to raise the subject of their future if she doesn’t get better. Cash refuses to entertain it. As far as he’s concerned, they’ll grow old together, and that’s the only future he’s willing to plan for.

Eden hasn’t given up hope, but she needs to know that her loved ones will be prepared if the worst happens. Cash’s refusal to discuss it leaves her worrying about how he’ll cope, whilst struggling with her own fears.

With her family continuing to fuss over her, Eden eventually tells Jimmy that she needs him and Deb to go home. Their presence is making it easier for Cash to avoid being alone with her, and she needs some space with her husband.

Deb is understandably reluctant to leave when she’s only just arrived, particularly with her other children struggling too. Yet Jimmy persuades her that they need to respect Eden’s wishes, however painful that might be.

After Jimmy and Deb head back to the farmhouse to pack, Cash finds another reason to postpone his talk with Eden, arranging for Remi (Adam Rowland) to visit.

Eden is delighted to see her best friend, but when she learns Cash only arranged it twenty minutes earlier, she realises what he’s doing.

Alone with Remi, Eden finally admits how frightened she is of dying. Saying it out loud brings some relief, but she wishes she could be as honest with Cash. She’d feel less afraid if she knew he’d be okay, yet his refusal to acknowledge their reality is making everything harder.

Before leaving, Deb tells Cash the real reason Eden has asked her parents to go. Her daughter shouldn’t have to face this alone, and it’s her husband she needs beside her.

Once the family have said their goodbyes and the couple are finally alone, Cash asks Eden if she’d like to talk. Neither feel ready, and Cash admits he may never be, but they finally agree to face the conversation together.

Meanwhile, as Abby struggles to cope with the uncertainty surrounding her sister’s illness, an unexpected reunion provides some much-needed comfort.

Abby has been doing everything she can to help, but finds it difficult to hear her parents discussing the worst whilst Eden worries more about Cash than herself.

When Jimmy notices how much she’s taking on, he reassures her that looking after Eden isn’t solely her responsibility and encourages her to take a break.

Heading out, Abby is stunned to find Richie (Rocco Forrester-Sach) outside the surf club!

She initially demands to know what he’s doing back, but before he can properly explain, she pulls him into a hug.

Their relationship ended after Richie’s accidental shooting of David left him struggling with guilt and cost him his career. Although Abby tried to help him find a way forward, he eventually decided to leave Summer Bay and move back in with his mum.

Now, his return gives Abby the chance to admit how helpless she’s been feeling. She doesn’t want to burden Eden, whilst her parents have been occupied with looking after her sister and Levi (Tristan Gorey).

Richie listens as Abby explains what’s been happening, before bringing her up to date on his own life. He’s working in a shoe shop and has accepted that he wasn’t suited to being a police officer, acknowledging that his carelessness meant he didn’t deserve the badge.

As they take a walk along the beach, Richie’s also able to make Abby laugh with a story from work, giving her a welcome break from everything happening at home.

But Richie has another reason for coming back, and later asks Abby to meet him again on the beach. Whilst she’s pleased he’s doing better, Abby reminds him how badly he hurt her.

Richie asks whether she’d consider having lunch with him on a future visit, before making clear that he’s hoping for more than friendship. He misses her, and wants to give their relationship another chance.

Before Abby can answer, Richie hurriedly leaves, asking her to think it over rather than risk saying something that ruins his chances.

Will Abby be willing to let him back into her life?

Home and Away is available to stream from 6am weekdays, with double bill episodes airing from 6pm on 5Star.

Hollyoaks airs shock arrest for Ste Hay kidnapping amid new evidence

 Have the police got the wrong man?

Hollyoaks has aired a shocking arrest as the Ste Hay kidnapping storyline rumbles on, but is the new evidence that's come to light as clear cut as it seems? Previously, James Nightingale found a form for a van rental from around the time that Ste went missing — although he doesn't remember ordering it.

In tonight's episode, he tracked down the van's whereabouts to an industrial estate.

However, at the same time, Lucas was telling Gemma Johnson that her gang of criminal thugs had started working for him. But thanks to recent developments, he now needs her to move that exact same van.

He told her that Ste was in this van, but stopped short of telling her why he wanted it moved so badly. Instead, he listed off all the dirt he had on Gemma from his contacts — dirt that could get her sent down for a very long time.

With no other choice, Gemma had to agree.

Although he was staggering and struggling to keep his vision focused, James got in a taxi and headed to the industrial estate. Once there, he heard banging coming from inside the van. He tried to get Ste out, but the van had a driver in it and they scarpered off, leaving him devastated.

Elsewhere, Sienna and Sophie Blake were enjoying a night on the sofa when she discovered a piece of Ste's clothing. Clothing with blood on it.

When James tried to return to the flat, the police were waiting and arrested him for kidnapping. As he was being led away, he screamed to Sienna that he was being framed and that the van was real.

Is James right about being framed, and if he is, who's framing him? Lucas seemed pretty emotionally conflicted in scene near the end of episode, but is someone else responsible for James' arrest?

Fans confused as Australian actress Melissa George debuts strange accent in cringe video with Tom Cruise: 'Are you in character?'

 Melissa George left fans confused on Thursday when she appeared in a video while speaking with a French accent.

The former Home and Away star, 50, who was born and raised in Perth, moved to France in 2011 after starting a relationship with entrepreneur Jean-David Blanc.

However, it would seem the Parisian culture has rubbed off on the Down Under actress, as she shared a clip to Instagram which saw her sporting an accent.

In the short clip, Melissa was smiling as she filmed herself talking with Tom Cruise while on the set of Mission Impossible. 

She asked the A-list actor to say hello to her eldest children, Raphael and Solal, who she shares with her ex-partner Jean-David. 

However, as Melissa said, 'Hello darlings,' and, 'Ciao babies, miss you,' she could be heard sporting a very thick French accent..

The former Home and Away star, who was born and raised in Perth, moved to France in 2011 after starting a relationship with entrepreneur Jean-David Blanc

Hi darlings,' she began the clip, with Tom, 64, then saying, 'Hello Raphael and Solal. Did I say that correctly?'

'Yes you said it correctly,' she said, giggling with the Hollywood star. 

Fans of the star took to the comments to point out that she no longer had the relaxed and distinctive sound of Australia in her tone.

'You're an Aussie. What's up with the accent?' one person wrote.

'Why the funny accent? Are you in character?' another added.

However, one fan defended Melissa, saying she has been living in France for so long that her accent has likely naturally adapted to her environment. 

Melissa George, 50, left fans confused on Thursday when she appeared in a video while speaking with a French accent

She's been in France for years. That's what happens when you live in a different country,' they said.

Melissa previously found herself in hot water after she slammed Australia in an infamous interview on Channel Seven's The Morning Show in 2012. 

At the time, she became frustrated when hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies focused too much on her role as Angel in Home and Away.

'I love this city [Sydney] so much. And I want to come home a lot but the stress that this has created in me is not worthy of my health,' she said after her Morning Show appearance, according to the Herald Sun.

'I think it will be the last time I visit and work here for a while, to be honest, because I just get too upset coming home.'

'I don't need credibility from my country anymore, I just need them all to be quiet. If they have nothing intelligent to say, please don't speak to me anymore.'

Fans of the star took to the comments to point out that she no longer had the relaxed and distinctive sound of Australia in her tone

She then uttered a statement that would go on to haunt her for the next decade.

'I'd rather be having a croissant and a little espresso in Paris or walking my French bulldog in New York City.'

Melissa was later forced to issue a grovelling apology to fans, saying she was 'really proud of her Australian roots'.  

It comes after Melissa secretly welcomed her fourth child with a mystery partner.  

The former soap star took to Instagram in July, revealing the surprise news in a joint post with former Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements.

The baby's name is not yet known, nor is the identity of the father.

She welcomed a third child in 2024, a son named Lyor, whose father is also unknown to the public.

Melissa shares her sons, Raphael, 12, and Solal, 11, with her ex-partner Jean-David, a French entrepreneur.

Due to custody arrangements, her children cannot leave France without their father’s consent, so Melissa remains based in Paris. 

Notoriously private Melissa hasn't revealed if she is in a relationship or who the father of her two youngest sons is.

She was previously married to Chilean furniture designer and film director Claudio Dabed from 2000 to 2011.

Home and Away star Jordana Beatty ties the knot with her fiancé in lavish Darling Point ceremony

 Australian actress Jordana Beatty has married her fiancé Marc Princi in an intimate ceremony at Sydney's Darling Point.

The Home and Away star, 28, tied the knot with her partner this week, the outdoor nuptials documented in a series of social media posts. 

Jordana looked every inch the radiant bride in a classic white wedding gown with a strapless design and a full skirt. 

She complemented the look with a long veil pinned into her brunette locks, which were worn in a bun, and carried a bouquet of pastel roses.  

Meanwhile, Marc looked dashing in a sharply tailored tuxedo worn with a bow tie and boutonnière on his lapel that matched his new wife's bouquet.  

A video shared on social media captured the newlyweds celebrating their first moments as husband and wife, with Marc spinning his beautiful bride around as the sun beamed down on them.

'No words yet, but already reminiscing on our perfect day,' Jordana wrote

Jordana posted several glimpses of the special occasion on social media, along with a heartfelt caption.

The couple's photographer, Adam Egan, also shared some details from the big day, revealing the wedding was attended by 140 of their closest family and friends.

After the ceremony, the group 'headed down to the water at Point Piper' to continue the celebrations. 

'Two big families, a room full of people genuinely happy to be there, and the kind of energy that made the whole day feel easy,' they shared.

We wandered the streets as the afternoon disappeared, eventually finding a quiet pocket of light for the last few portraits of the day.

'Good people, beautiful light, and a whole lot of love in the room. A day we'll remember.'

After saying 'I do', the pair joined their guests at a reception, where they cut a towering wedding cake and danced into the night.  

Jordana is a popular Australian actress with over two decades of experience, having acted since she was four years old in 2002.

In addition to appearing in Aussie productions such as All Saints, she has also worked on the Sydney-filmed Hollywood blockbuster Superman Returns, Legend of the Seeker and Young Rock.
