This episode was particularly intense, focusing on Eliza’s escalating dangerous behavior towards Alf.

Home and Away – Episode 8499 (June 10, 2025) Key Events:

• Eliza’s Deliberate Malice Towards Alf: The central and most shocking part of this episode focused on Eliza’s (played by Eliza Scanlen/Toby Chapman, depending on the current iteration of the character in recent storylines, but specifically the one involved in the Alf plot) sinister actions towards Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher).

  • Alf, experiencing severe chest pains (symptoms of a heart attack), desperately asked Eliza to retrieve his vital heart medication from the bait shop.
  • Eliza entered the shop, found the pills, but instead of helping Alf, she deliberately hid them in her pocket.
  • She then returned to Alf, feigning innocence and lying that she couldn’t find the medication anywhere.
  • As Alf’s condition worsened, and he struggled for air and asked for his phone, Eliza further delayed, watching him suffer before pretending to search for the device.
  • When a concerned passer-by, Marty, noticed Alf’s distress, Eliza calmly dismissed his concerns, reassuring him that everything was fine and that “her mum” (referring to Roo, her foster parent) was on her way.
  • Later, she returned to Alf, claiming his phone was dead and she couldn’t call for help. Despite Alf’s pleas for her to find someone in the caravan park, she left and returned, stating no one was around. The episode heavily implied her deliberate intention to leave Alf to die.

• Cash’s Struggles Continue: While not the main focus, Cash Newman’s (Nicholas Cartwright) storyline also continued. He was likely still dealing with the immense pressure and fear related to the River Boys gang, who were intimidating him outside his home, and his efforts to protect Lacey Miller. His stress and determination to outmaneuver the gang were likely evident.

This episode was a pivotal moment in revealing the true, chilling nature of Eliza and her psychopathic tendencies, putting one of Summer Bay’s most beloved characters, Alf, in grave danger.
