Get ready for an emotional gut-punch on Home and Away! Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) will be left absolutely crushed and devastated when Harper Matheson (Jessica Redmayne) makes a series of agonizing decisions about their newborn son, Archie, culminating in a shocking request to exclude Tane from being present at the most special moments of his child’s life!

Here’s the full, heartbreaking story:

• Traumatic Birth and Emergency Surgery: Harper endures a terrifying and traumatic labor in the bush, after the conniving Eliza Sherwood deliberately withheld calling an ambulance. Upon arriving at the hospital, Harper’s ordeal is far from over as she begins to haemorrhage after giving birth. She is rushed into emergency surgery, fighting for her life.
• Tane’s Presence and Harper’s Devastating Demand: When Harper finally wakes up after the life-saving surgery, Tane is faithfully by her side. However, in a moment that will crush him, Harper immediately asks him to leave her hospital room. This request comes after their painful split, where Tane confessed he didn’t truly love Harper, despite his intention to marry her for the baby’s sake. Harper’s feelings are still raw, and she is grappling with Tane’s honesty and her own heartbreak.
• Excluding Tane from Archie’s Life: The initial request to leave the room is just the beginning. After the wedding was called off, Harper has been wrestling with what role, if any, Tane should play in their son Archie’s life. Spoilers reveal that Harper makes the devastating decision to initially tell Tane that she doesn’t want him involved in Archie’s life at all! This cuts Tane to the core, as becoming a father has been his deepest desire.
• Tane’s Despair and Friends’ Concerns: Tane is plunged into a dark place, deeply hurt and confused by Harper’s actions. His friends, including Mackenzie Booth and Cash Newman, become concerned for his well-being, as he struggles with the idea of being cut off from his newborn son. He even begins to fear a custody battle.
• A Glimmer of Hope (and Continued Uncertainty): Thankfully, there’s a moment of softening. Mackenzie, determined to help her friend, delivers a gift from Tane to Archie at the hospital – a handwritten letter for Archie and a traditional Māori ceremonial cloak (Korowai). After reading Tane’s heartfelt letter, Harper is moved to tears and has a change of heart, inviting Tane back to the hospital. Tane enters the room to see Archie wearing his Korowai, and Harper apologizes, acknowledging he should be there.

While Harper may have relented in the immediate aftermath, insiders suggest that her deep-seated issues with Tane are still unresolved. The future of their co-parenting relationship and Tane’s role in Archie’s upbringing remains “up in the air,” leaving Tane constantly on edge and crushed by the emotional distance.
