Spoilers -have revealed that Tane Parata is set to leave Summer Bay after more than 7 years – but it won’t be forever.

 Upcoming Home and Away spoilers

Recent episodes of Home and Away in Australia have seen Tane (Ethan Browne) struggle to be apart from son Archie, who left Summer Bay with mum Harper (Jessica Redmayne) in early September.

Harper was forced to leave the bay after being subjected to months of coercive behaviour by new boyfriend Beau (Blake Richardson).

Beau was a steroid dealer who Sonny (Ryan Bown) met at the gym when he was recovering from the paralysis he suffered in the train crash at the beginning of this year.

He soon began dating Harper, but his controlling behaviour saw him track her location, isolate her from her friends and family, and eventually hit her.

After Sonny confessed to the police that Sonny was dealing from Summer Bay Fit, and Harper testified that Beau had hit her, he was eventually locked up.

However, Beau threatened Harper and Archie before being led away by the police, leaving Harper terrified that he would come after her and her son after his eventual release from prison.

She and Archie left Summer Bay alongside Dana (Ally Harris), planning on a fresh start somewhere where Beau could never find them.

Tane has since made a couple of trips to visit his son, but has struggled with the fact that he can no longer see him whenever he wants.

When Tane learnt that Archie seemed upset in the days after he returned from his most recent trip, it became clear that the absence was affecting the one-year-old as well.

In recent episodes, Tane learnt that Archie had been taken to hospital after falling off a swing in daycare. Upset that he was the last to know, he lashed out at Alf (Ray Meagher) as he reached the end of his tether.

Now, it appears that Tane will be saying goodbye to Summer Bay after more than 7 years, as he leaves to be closer to his son!

Tane’s departure is confirmed in spoilers for next week.

“Tane’s leaving Summer Bay” is the synopsis for next Tuesday 27th October, and it looks like his exit will air the following day, as “Tane says goodbye” on Wednesday 28th October.

In tomorrow’s episode, “Tane forges a new plan” as he decides that enough is enough.

A promo which aired in Australia after tonight’s episode saw Alf ask Tane: “You’re leaving the bay?”

Maybe it’s time,” Tane responds, before the promo shows him performing one last taiaha sequence at the beach he’s called home since 2020.

In Thursday’s triple bill, “Tane asks Mali a big favour,” which we suspect will be asking him to take over the running of Summer Bay Fit, as he was forced to do when Tane was behind bars earlier this year.

Thankfully, it appears that Tane’s exit won’t be forever.

A break for the character has been expected for a while, after actor Ethan Browne wasn’t spotted at Sydney’s Palm Beach for a number of months – but he returned to Home and Away‘s beach filming location at the end of June.

Footage from tour company CelebTime showed Mackenzie running towards Tane after spotting him outside the Surf Club.

While nothing is confirmed, it seems that Tane will eventually make a permanent return to Summer Bay, as he’s been seen at Palm Beach on a regular basis in recent weeks.

He’s set for a major storyline in 2027, as the show re-explores his feelings for Mackenzie (Emily Weir)!

Back in 2020, when Mackenzie was just embarking on her relationship with Ari Parata (Rob Kipa Williams), she began developing feelings for his brother Tane, which almost brought her and Ari’s fledgling relationship to an abrupt end.

Now, 7 years later, it looks like those feelings are set to re-emerge – seriously complicating Mac and Levi’s (Tristan Gorey) upcoming engagement.

It’s not the only shock in store for Mackenzie, as Levi’s ex-partner Imogen (Georgia Blizzard) is due to return early next year, seemingly with the news that Levi has a two-year-old daughter.

Tane’s feelings for Mackenzie were revealed in early September, when YouTubers R&F Adventures 2.0 witnessed a scene being filmed in which Tane confessed his feelings to his old crush.

The scene in question saw Mackenzie run up behind Tane, stopping him in his tracks as he tried to get away from her.

What are you doing? You said you’d try…” Mac could be heard saying in the clip uploaded to the R&F Adventures 2.0 YouTube channel.

As the scene continued, Mac stopped Tane as he walked away, asking him: “What are you saying? That you’re gonna pull out of my wedding?”

After nodding, Tane explained: “Listen to me.”

After some dialogue which couldn’t be made out, he continued: “I can’t [unclear]. Everything’s changed, alright?  I can’t stand beside you at your wedding and put on a happy face!”

“Why? Why not?” Mackenzie asked, becoming increasingly animated.

Because I have feelings for you!” Tane explained loudly, as Mackenzie reacted with shock. “I have feelings for you, okay?”

It’s clear that Mackenzie had no idea of Tane’s hidden feelings, as she put her arm on him and tried to shut him down.

“Please, don’t do this. Don’t say this, don’t say this. Don’t!” she replied, and after the conversation briefly continues, Tane walks away.

What am I gonna say to Levi?” Mackenzie called after him, before Tane told her he doesn’t know, and she should just lie.

“You’re good at that!” he finished, before leaving Mac alone and shellshocked.

In a scene filmed later on the same day, Tane was seen sitting at the beach alone, before being approached by Mac

What causes Tane’s feelings for Mackenzie to return isn’t yet clear, but could Mac turn to her former crush for emotional support – and perhaps more – after the revelation that her fiancé has a child with his ex-wife?

Home and Away spoilers for next week 26 to 30 October 2026

 What's next in Summer Bay?

Coming up on Home and Away, Sonny's brother Dylan arrives in Summer Bay and quickly catches feelings for Lacey. But is she ready to move on from Theo?

Elsewhere, David rumbles Justin's secret about Richie, and Levi undergoes hand surgery.

Here's a full collection of 13 massive moments.

 Cash reaches out to Melanie

Cash fears Eden is giving up hope of survivaland makes a call to Melanie, the woman he found on the aplastic anaemia forum.

Eden overhears Cash speaking to someone and confronts him. Cash admits he reached out to Melanie for advice on how to navigate their situation.

Instead of being annoyed, Eden is relieved that her husband has someone to confide in.

 Mac and Abigail say sorry to Eden

Mackenzie is hurt when Eden accuses her of trying to take her place in the family.

Following his chat with Melanie, Cash tries to restore the peace by asking Mac and Abigail to stop treating Eden like a sick patient.

They both apologise to Eden for not keeping her in the loop about important matters and Mac insists she could never replace her.

Richie wants a fresh start

Justin is thrown into panic when David asks if they can catch up, but Leah insists it's time he knew that Richie is living with them.

As Justin gears up to tell David the truth, Richie applies for the volunteer lifesaving course at the Surf Club.

He attends an interview with John at Salt, but ends up bailing half way through when David walks in with Amelia.

John gives Richie a chance

Alf takes pity on Richie and offers him a free breakfast to lift his spirits, while

 John decides to check in with David.

He asks the police boss if he's okay with Richie signing up for the course, but David makes it clear he doesn't want any say in what happens.

Afterwards, John goes to see Richie and offers him a spot on the course, much to his delight.

David discovers the truth

Justin's secret is out when David arrives at the house and Richie answers the door.

David feels let down that Justin and Leah weren't brave enough to tell him the truth, and isn't sure where this leaves their friendship.

Meanwhile, Amelia is left alone at David's place and confronted by all the pictures of his late wife.

 Mali has a one-night stand

Tane is feeling low after his latest visit to Archie so Mali suggests they head to the club at Reefton Lakes.

The next morning, Mali rocks up late to his surf lesson and Tane teases him about the girl he hooked up with the night before.

Lacey asks Mali if he'll be seeing this girl again, but he insists it was just a bit of no-strings fun.

 Sonny's brother comes to town

Sonny receives an unexpected visitor when his little brother Dylan turns up on his doorstep.

The handsome newcomer immediately catches Lacey's eye, but it's clear Dylan has come to Summer Bay harbouring a secret.

Dylan later comes clean to Sonny and admits he's quit his job in W.A, but insists their parents mustn't find out.

Jo feels uneasy around Amelia

Jo arrives home to find Amelia there without David. It's unfamiliar territory for both of them, and the situation is awkward.

There's another uncomfortable confrontation next morning when Jo realises Amelia has slept over in David's bed.

Jo wants to know what Amelia's plans are once Levi returns to work. Amelia admits she doesn't have an answer, which makes Jo worry that she'll leave David.

Dylan makes a move on Lacey

Sonny wants Dylan to tell him why he quit his job, but is aware he's hiding his own secrets about his steroid addiction and split from Dana.

Remi is able to convince Dylan to confide in him and learns he was jealous of Sonny's free-spirited life and is desperate to experience similar adventures.

Wanting to take more risks, Dylan decides to make a move on Lacey. They almost kiss, before Lacey freaks out and dashes off.

 Levi undergoes hand surgery

Amelia goes to check in on Levi after his hand surgery. He's in severe pain, but already looking forward to returning to work.

When Amelia tries to press for a timeframe, Levi gets annoyed that Amelia seems more interested in losing her job than his pain.

Amelia later learns Levi should be back at the hospital in six weeks.

Lacey is confused about her feelings

Lacey opens up to Jo and Amelia about her near kiss with Dylan and reveals she hasn't had feelings like that for anyone since Theo.

Meanwhile, Sonny is busy planning a gap year for Dylan, full of parties, travel and adventure.

But Dylan's mind is focused on Lacey as he hopes to stay in the Bay and get to know her better.

 Jo and Amelia disagree over Lacey

Lacey catches up with Dylan and insists he did nothing wrong before. They both leave the conversation feeling hopeful that this could go somewhere.

But as Lacey unpacks her feelings with Amelia, she's triggered by memories of Theo and starts to cry. Sonny sees her upset and takes note.

Amelia urges Lacey to ask Dylan out, but Jo snaps back, insisting she's not ready for a new romance.

 Lacey asks Dylan out

Thinking Dylan did something to make Lacey cry, Sonny confronts his brother.

Dylan is clueless, but Sonny thinks it would be best if he stays away from Lacey, explaining she still blames herself for Theo's death.

Later, Dylan is on the phone to his parents when there's a knock at the door. It's Lacey, who's all dressed up and wants to take him out on a date.

Will he accept her invitation?

Eden throws a special anniversary party for Cash, before a discovery of family secrets sparks a devastating confrontation.

 Next week on Home and Away in the UK,

Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) and Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) are approaching their first wedding anniversary with an uncertain future, as the search continues for a stem-cell donor to treat Eden’s aplastic anaemia.

Cash recently turned to an online support group, hoping to find advice from others facing the same illness. Whilst Eden initially challenged his search for reassurance, she’s since come to appreciate the support he’s found.

Next week, she tells Remi (Adam Rowland) that they’ve been following advice from Melanie, another patient who has lived with the condition for years whilst waiting for a donor.

Eden has even agreed to try a new diet, although Cash’s attempts to make tofu appealing leave something to be desired.

A recent transfusion has given Eden more energy, for now, but Cash remains anxious about her overdoing things. When their anniversary comes up, he makes clear that a celebration can wait until she’s better.

Eden has lost track of the date amid her medical appointments and exhaustion, and only realises it’s approaching when Remi mentions it.

Discovering Cash remembered but chose not to say anything leaves her disappointed—she wants their first anniversary to mean something.

Cash fears a repeat of the family picnic that ended with Eden back in hospital. He promises they can do anything she wants once she’s recovered, but Eden knows that’s a future neither of them can count on.

With Cash out collecting dinner, she asks Remi to return and explains why the occasion matters so much. Without a donor, this could be the only wedding anniversary she gets to celebrate, and she needs his help to make it happen.

Remi is wary of going behind Cash’s back, but Eden is determined to organise something with or without him. She’s confident her husband will come round once he sees what they’ve planned.

Soon, Remi is recruiting Levi (Tristan Gorey) and Mackenzie (Emily Weir), who agrees to provide the food.

Mac initially rules out attending herself, reluctant to leave Sonny (Ryan Bown) running Salt so soon after he started working there. However, when Eden appeals to her personally, Sonny assures Mac he has everything ready for service, persuading her to join them.

Meanwhile, Eden lets Cash believe she’s accepted a quiet anniversary at home. Remi then provides an excuse to whisk her away, claiming he wants to show her his new guitar, whilst Levi is given the task of bringing Cash to the celebration.

Levi’s attempts to suggest a walk or a swim immediately arouse suspicion. With Cash keen to get back to his own preparations, Levi finally admits that Eden has organised a surprise and asks him to play along.

Cash is still worried about how much the day will take out of Eden, but his objections disappear when he sees her waiting at a beautifully arranged lunch at Stewarts Point, overlooking Summer Bay.

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the couple finally have a chance to enjoy their anniversary.

Cash has a surprise of his own, presenting Eden with a round-the-world trip for when she’s well enough to travel.

Cash suggests they could go and see Kirby (Angelina Thomson) play in Europe, or perhaps visit Irene (Lynne McGranger), assuring Eden that she can go anywhere she wants.

Abigail (Hailey Pinto) arrives late to the celebrations after accompanying Richie (Rocco Forrester-Sach) to his mum’s to collect his belongings.

The pair have recently reunited, but Abby has kept the news from Cash and Eden, fearing his reaction and not wanting to add to her sister’s worries.

Abby tells Eden she’s been spending time with a friend, whilst Levi agrees the anniversary isn’t the moment to reveal the truth. However, Remi overhears them discussing the relationship.

Remembering how badly Richie hurt Abby, Remi challenges her decision and urges her to end things before Cash needs to know.

Levi intervenes, allowing everyone to gather for Cash’s toast to Eden.

Cash promises to remain by her side, echoing his wedding vows as he tells their guests how much she means to him. The celebrations continue into the evening, with neither wanting the day to end.

Remi’s concerns remain, however, and he later warns Abby that she can’t keep the relationship secret indefinitely. Unless she tells Cash and Eden soon, he’ll do it himself.

With more people now in the know, Mac and Levi also press Abby to speak up, but she’s reluctant to spoil her sister’s happiness.

When she explains her worries to Richie, he offers to handle the conversation, knowing it’s his actions that have caused the problem.

Cash and Eden’s relaxed morning is soon interrupted by Richie’s arrival. Cash is stunned to open the door to his former colleague, but it’s Eden who reacts most strongly when he reveals that he and Abby are back together.

Furious that Richie has been given another chance after breaking her sister’s heart, Eden is then hurt to discover they’ve kept the relationship from her for weeks. Cash sends Richie away as she becomes increasingly upset.

Eden heads to Salt and rips into Abby, discovering that Levi and Mac also knew. Their efforts to protect her leave her feeling excluded from her own family, and she refuses to accept her illness as a reason to keep her in the dark.

The confrontation leaves Levi considering postponing his hand surgery, another development he hasn’t told Eden about. Mac insists he should go ahead, and offers to stay behind to speak to his sister.

But her attempt to help only reveals their other secret. When Mac explains why Levi isn’t with her, Eden is devastated to realise she wasn’t told about his operation either.

Already hurt that Abby confided in Mac instead of her, Eden accuses Mac of trying to take her place as Abby’s big sister, angrily reminding her that she isn’t dead yet.

Can Mac get through to Eden, or has her attempt to make peace only made matters worse?
