Home and Away fans confused over Cash blunder as he ditches police force in shock move

 Home and Away viewers raised the same question after Summer Bay detective Cash Newman refused to return to his job in the force after learning he was being demoted.

Home and Away fans pointed out a glaring blunder after Cash quit the police force.

Over the past few months, Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) has been living without a job after being suspended from the force. His suspension came after he kept quiet about Dana (Ally Harris) taking refuge at Irene's (Lynne McGranger) place.

Dana was set up on a drug charge by dodgy cop Detective Madden, who later kidnapped and tried to kill her. Despite arresting Madden and proving Dana's innocence, Cash was suspended of all duties pending an investigation.

During Friday's episode (March 15) of the Channel 5 soap, Cash's suspension review arrived. Later in the evening, he finally received the call he had been waiting for from the station.

But it wasn't the outcome he had hoped for. Cash was told that he could have his job back, however he would be demoted and placed on restricted duties.

Wounded by the offer, Cash told his former colleagues that he wouldn't be returning to work. Amongst the drama, fans questioned how the suspended Summer Bay cop has been surviving financially after being forced on leave.

They touched upon the same subject regarding Cash's girlfriend Eden (Stephanie Pannozzo). Fans will know Eden is a member of the band Lyrik, who only recently got back together following Kirby's (Angelina Thomson) return.

In the months that Kirby was flying solo, Lyrik were barely performing. And only last week, Eden was kidnapped by two men who also left Remi (Adam Rowland) in critical condition.

With the band unable to perform, one fan took to a Home and Away Facebook group to share their thoughts. They wrote: "Three months without pay. And Eden barely does enough gigs. How do they pay their bills?"

Another commented: "Have often wondered that and also for all the coffees they have lol." A third joked: "Who needs money in Summer Bay?"
