Home and Away's Marilyn Chambers receives a threat from evil skincare company
Marilyn and Kirby face a lawsuit.
Home and Away's Marilyn Chambers is left fearful on UK screens next week, as cosmetics company Stunning Organics threatens her.
Marilyn faces the consequences following her brave attempts to expose the brand's corrupt approach to doing business.
The Summer Bay favourite was recently alarmed to discover that she was locked into a tough long-term contract with Stunning Organics, which obliges her to sell boxes of beauty products which will be delivered to her each week.
In upcoming scenes, Marilyn teams up with her friend Kirby Aramoana to make a social media post which exposes the company's abuse of power.
Kirby soon receives a legal threat from Stunning Organics, which warns of the consequences if defamatory claims are made.
No-nonsense Kirby suggests that this strong reaction proves they have Stunning Organics spooked. Marilyn is less confident when she receives a similar threat of her own.
Reaching breaking point, Marilyn shows Kirby that she has a large stockpile of Stunning Organics products that she can't sell, so she has been stashing them at Irene Roberts' home while her friend is on holiday.
After failing to give into Stunning Organics' demands, Kirby and Marilyn are both worried as they are served legal papers.
Kirby still refuses to back down, suggesting that they should recruit others to join their fight.
The pair create an online forum to reach out to other potential victims of Stunning Organics. It proves to be a wise move, as other people with similar experiences start to come forward.
Later in the week, Alf Stewart becomes suspicious over Marilyn's cagey behaviour. Although he was aware of Marilyn's problems with the company, he believed they were over after she'd previously claimed that everything had been resolved.
Marilyn continues to cover, but her secret is exposed when Stunning Organics deliver yet another unwanted box.
Alf discovers the unsold cosmetics and forces Marilyn to come clean about how she's now facing a lawsuit as the situation has spiralled out of control.
Marilyn braces herself for a harsh judgement from grumpy Alf, but she's touched when he offers his support. Can Marilyn and her friends stay strong in the fight against Stunning Organics?
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
