Home and Away Spoilers: Alf’s cause of death shocked fans.

Next week on Home and Away, trust issues, professional dreams, and personal betrayals collide as several Summer Bay residents find themselves at emotional crossroads. Marilyn continues to struggle with her uneasy feelings toward Eliza, Justin takes a major gamble to support Kirby’s career, and a shocking betrayal threatens to destroy friendships.

Marilyn’s Growing Doubts About Eliza

Marilyn, still unsettled by Eliza’s odd behaviour, finally opens up to Irene and Dana about her growing concerns. While Marilyn is deeply empathetic to the trauma Eliza has endured, she can’t shake the intuitive sense that something isn’t quite right about the troubled teenager. It’s not just the visible scars of a difficult past — there’s something beneath the surface that leaves Marilyn deeply uneasy.

Dana listens carefully and urges Marilyn to trust her instincts, pointing out that gut feelings are often rooted in truths the mind hasn’t fully processed yet. However, Marilyn knows that convincing Roo of Eliza’s potential for deception won’t be easy. Roo remains fiercely loyal to Eliza, unwilling to see the warning signs that Marilyn is beginning to piece together.

For now, Marilyn resolves to stay vigilant while recognising that Roo must reach her own conclusions in time. But with danger seemingly lurking behind Eliza’s innocent facade, will Roo realise the truth before it’s too late?

Justin’s Risky New Role

Meanwhile, Justin finds himself embracing a new chapter when he agrees to manage Kirby’s solo music career. Kirby, eager to stand on her own once more, turns to Justin for support, and he’s quick to step up. However, the excitement of taking on the role soon gives way to the practical realities: Kirby’s dreams require significant financial backing, and Justin must find a way to fund it all.

With no easy solutions in sight, Justin begins exploring risky options to secure the money needed. His commitment to Kirby’s success is admirable, but will his gamble pay off — or lead to financial ruin?

As Kirby pours her heart into creating new music, she remains unaware of just how much Justin is sacrificing behind the scenes to make her dreams a reality. The question remains: how far is Justin willing to go, and at what cost?

Trouble Brewing at Salt

Elsewhere, a shady new figure enters the picture when a mysterious man overhears Sonny and Theo chatting at Salt. Sensing an opportunity, he approaches the pair with a tempting promise: a chance to make some fast money.

Though details of the man’s offer remain unclear, the encounter hints at trouble on the horizon for Sonny and Theo. Will they get drawn into something dangerous, blinded by the lure of quick cash? Or will they spot the warning signs before it’s too late?

One thing’s certain — in Summer Bay, nothing comes without strings attached.

A Friendship in Jeopardy

Meanwhile, Sonny’s behaviour spirals out of control when he misreads the bond he’s formed with Bree. What Sonny sees as a growing connection is, in reality, a simple friendship from Bree’s perspective. Unfortunately, Sonny crosses a line when he leans in to kiss Bree, completely misjudging the situation.

Bree immediately recoils, making it clear that his actions were inappropriate and unwanted. She firmly shuts Sonny down, warning him that what he did wasn’t okay. The fallout is swift and brutal.

When Remi hears about Sonny’s betrayal, he wastes no time in confronting his supposed friend. Furious and hurt on Bree’s behalf, Remi packs Sonny’s bags and makes it clear that he’s no longer welcome. Sonny’s poor judgement not only costs him a place to stay — it also shatters the friendships he had worked to build.

The incident leaves Bree rattled and forces Remi to re-evaluate who he can truly trust. In a community built on loyalty and trust, Sonny’s actions prove unforgivable.

Irene’s Hidden Struggles

Finally, Irene continues to battle her own private demons as Harper’s wedding approaches. Despite repeated invitations, Irene refuses to attend, using work commitments as her excuse. However, it soon becomes clear that the real reason for her reluctance lies deeper: it’s her ongoing struggle with alcohol that’s keeping her away.

Irene’s confession highlights her vulnerability and the weight of her personal battle. Weddings are joyful occasions often accompanied by heavy drinking — a setting Irene knows would put her sobriety at risk. Rather than expose herself to temptation, she chooses the difficult path of staying away, even if it means disappointing her friends.

It’s a courageous decision that speaks volumes about Irene’s determination to protect her recovery, even as she navigates the guilt of letting down those she loves.
