While the most immediately impactful “secret” Deb discovers upon her arrival is Abigail’s (Hailey Pinto) past drug addiction, this is a secret Abigail was hiding from Deb. Deb’s reaction to this, while initially one of shock and hurt that Abigail didn’t confide in her, is ultimately one of understanding and support. She wants to help her daughter through it, which is a positive development for Abigail.
The Potential for Deb’s Own Hidden Secrets
However, with Home and Away, it’s always wise to assume there’s more beneath the surface. Given that Deb is estranged from her children (Eden and Levi), her sudden reappearance could easily conceal her own hidden past or intentions.
Possible “secrets” Deb could be hiding, or that could emerge, that might change everything:
- A Hidden Agenda: Is Deb genuinely in Summer Bay just to reconnect, or does she have an ulterior motive? Perhaps she’s in financial trouble, escaping something, or has a specific request or expectation from her children.
- Past Conflict with a Summer Bay Resident: She might have a history with another established character in the Bay that hasn’t been revealed yet. This could lead to old feuds resurfacing or new alliances forming.
- Secrets about Levi or Eden’s Past: Deb might carry a secret about the children themselves that even they don’t know. Perhaps something about their upbringing, their father, or a past trauma that could alter their perception of their own history.
- A Health Concern: In soap operas, sometimes a sudden return after a long absence is prompted by a health crisis that the character has kept hidden. This would certainly change dynamics.
For now, the focus is on Deb’s discovery of Abigail’s past and the impact of that on Abigail and Mali. But with Home and Away, you can almost guarantee that a character with a “long-lost” or “estranged” status arriving in the Bay will eventually have their own skeletons tumble out of the closet. Keep watching, as Deb’s full story is likely just beginning to unfold!
