Home and Away Spoilers – Who returns from the dead to save Perri?
- Posted on 26 January, 2025
Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Perri finally learns his fate as his trial commences, but not before another dramatic twist which promises to change his life forever.
Perri (Cantona Stewart) is facing a murder charge following the death of his violent father, Carl (Matthew Holmes). Perri had lived alone with his father since the death of his mum several years previous, and was subjected to repeated physical abuse for most of that time, before finally making his escape after Tane (Ethan Browne) took him under his wing.
When Carl continued to come after Perri anyway, Perri reported his dad to the police, but a lack of evidence saw him found not guilty at trial.
Rose (Kirsty Marillier) assisted Perri in taking out an AVO against Carl, but Carl still defied this as he attempted to force Perri to partake in another job for him, the sort of job that had previously landed Perri in juvie.
Perri’s refusal angered Carl, who dragged his son to the pool in the backyard of No.52 and held his head under the water.
No-one is expecting a positive outcome as the court reconvenes, and Perri is nervous when Jane is running late.
In the nick of time, Jane rushes in and announces that she has just managed to confirm one final witness.
With the magistrate’s permission, Jane calls her final witness…. Kaia Hayes (Akina Edmonds).
Perri reels as he looks over and sees his mother, long thought to be dead, walk into the courtroo
A tearful Kaia explains to the court how Carl’s jealousy towards her and Perri’s relationship had led to anger and violence towards them.
Kaia had tried to protect Perri as much as she could, but Carl had later issued her with a horrific ultimatum—either she walked out of their lives for good, or he would kill Perri.
Knowing that Carl was deadly serious, as he promised to do it right in front of her, Kaia felt she had no choice but to flee to her native New Zealand.
“Your life was in danger if I stayed,” Kaia states as she looks over at Perri. “I love you more than anything in the world.”
As Jane finally gives her closing statement, the gravity of the situation is beginning to overwhelm Perri.
As the court adjourns in order for the jury to decide on a verdict, Kaia rushes over to her son, having waited so long for this moment.
“Get the hell away from me,” a dazed Perri replies as he barges past.
Everyone gathers at Salt, but when Kaia walks in with Harper and Jane, Perri decides to leave, telling Kaia that he wants nothing from her.
As Tane goes after Perri, Jane explains that after Harper had put the word out to other social workers about Carl, a refuge had got in touch with Jane who remembered Kaia. Jane eventually tracked her down in New Zealand, but wasn’t sure if Kaia would even make it in time.
Meanwhile, Perri has a ton of questions but has no intention of talking to Kaia to find out the answers. Tane points out that Kaia’s testimony could be the only thing that keeps him out of prison, as he urges Perri to at least have a conversation with his mother.
But as Tane and Perri return to Salt, it seems any questions will have to wait, as Jane receives word that the jury has come to a verdict…
