Logan (Harley Bonner) confronts a professional crisis this week on Home and Away, as Dean (Patrick O’Connor) and Marilyn (Emily Symons) wonder if he’s made the correct medical decisions for them.
Dean begins to believe that he should have had the procedure Tori (Penny McNamee) recommended when he was in the collision since Marilyn is adamant that he is responsible for her continuous mental and physical challenges, refusing to allow him to attend to her when she is sent to hospital again. Logan believes it is the doctor’s responsibility that he may never surf again because he chose a different decision…
Meanwhile, Theo (Matt Evans) is looking for inspiration for his next prank video with Ryder (Lukas Radovich). He starts experimenting with the idea of ‘rites of passage,’ and it’s not long before Theo is setting up flaming coals in the midst of the trailer park, much to Ryder’s disgust. The two guys begin their perilous challenge, but their timing is awry, as local cop Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) is driving home and witnesses them in the act…
Tane (Ethan Browne) returns home from a fitness trade exhibition and makes plans to visit Felicity right away (Jacqui Purvis). She wonders why he’s so eager to hang out with her, but he won’t say what’s on his mind. Later, they’re in Salt when Cash chooses to interrupt their date, and Felicity apologizes to her overprotective brother the next morning. Is this the start of anything new for them? She says he’s glad he was with her when Anne kidnapped them – is this the start of something new for them?
Here’s what’s on the horizon for Home and Away starting Monday, February 7.
