This week’s Home and Away in Australia sees Bree give Remi an ultimatum that looks set to lead to the pair’s breakup.
Last week’s Australian episodes of the show saw Bree (Juliet Godwin) reveal that she had been accepted onto Doctors Without Borders, the humanitarian medical care charity, and that her training would start in Belgium within weeks.
She realized that her years in medical school had prevented her from traveling and leading a more adventurous life, and she became dissatisfied with her life in the bay. As a result, she applied for the overseas charity.
When Remi took her an exciting ride on his motorcycle at the end of the previous year, she momentarily stepped outside of her comfort zone. Although she was first afraid, she quickly welcomed the experience.
That alone wasn’t enough to scratch the itch, and she went ahead and applied for the overseas role.
Remi had initially planned to go with her, until she revealed that she could be away for months. Remi wasn’t willing to put Lyrik on hold once again, so was forced to tell her that he’d be sticking around in the bay, but encouraged her to live her dream.
The newly announced start date for Bree will undoubtedly test the bounds of their relationship. But now that the problem is far more serious, it might terminate their relationship much sooner.
In the previous season’s finale, Remi was in a motorcycle accident that resulted in severe internal bleeding. Dr. Levi Fowler (Tristan Gorey) saved his life with his prompt interventions.
At the end of tonight’s Australian episode, Justin (James Stewart) proudly drove Remi’s newly-repaired motorbike up to the Lyrik house on Saxon Avenue, where Kirby (Angelina Thomson) was delighted to see that it was looking as good as new.
In tomorrow’s episode, Remi is equally delighted to be reunited with his (well, technically Mercedes’) beloved bike.
“Surprise!” says Kirby, as she and Remi excitedly present Remi with the bike. “Come see your baby.”
But one person who’s far less excited about the big reveal is Bree.
While Bree briefly conquered her longstanding fear of motorbikes, Remi’s subsequent accident just hours later made her previous feelings return with a vengeance – the thing is a death trap, and Remi should be nowhere near it.
As Kirby and Justin hand Remi the key, Bree’s face says it all.
“You nearly died riding that bike, and now you want to get back onto it?”
“Do you have any idea what went down when you were in hospital?” she pleads. “I nearly lost you, Remi!”
Kirby hadn’t even considered the significance of giving Remi back the bike that almost killed him, but as she tries to explain herself to Bree, she gets a scathing response.
“I just wanted to make him happy,” Kirby explains.
“How could you think that giving him that deathtrap was a good idea?” Bree spits. “If he gets back on that bike and crashes, how will you feel then?”
“That bike almost killed him, and now I’ve delivered it back to him with a bow on top,” Kirby later tells Justin as she opens up to him about Bree’s words as they walk along the beach after a surf.
Bree then gives Remi an ultimatum as she makes sure he knows exactly how she’s feeling.
“Let me be very clear,” she tells him. “If you get back on that bike again, we’re through.”
The promo ends with Remi beaming from ear to ear as he sits astride Merecedes’ bike, revving the engine.
He then spots Bree to his left, looking more than a little annoyed.
Will Remi be able to give up his love of motorbikes for the sake of his relationship?
Considering Remi has always known how Bree feels about motorbikes, combined with the fact that he did nearly die falling off one just a few months ago, the option should be an easy one.
However, pictures which emerged from the set of Home and Away late last year suggest otherwise.
As we’ve previously reported, Bree is set to find herself a new man in the coming months, seemingly confirming that a Bree and Remi split is just around the corner.
Although Bree’s new love interest’s name and specifics are yet unclear, we do know that Mahesh Jadu, an actor from Perth, will be playing him. Mahesh Jadu previously portrayed Ahmad in the Netflix series Marco Polo and Dr. Doug Harris, a recurring role on Neighbours from 2010 to 2011.
Watching the show’s production in Palm Beach, a show fan witnessed Juliet Godwin, who plays Bree, kissing the new actor, implying that the Summer Bay doctor is about to embark on a new romantic relationship.
The new character looks set to be connected to another newcomer – Stevie Marlow (Catherine Văn-Davies) – a well-known actress who makes her debut later this week after hiring Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) as her security detail.
While Mahesh’s arrival hasn’t yet been officially announced, he’s already followed on social media by a number of Home and Away‘s cast and crew, including Juliet Godwin, Jacqui Purvis and Stephanie Panozzo.
Next Monday’s episode sees Remi “caught in a lie,” before coming clean to Bree on Tuesday. Will he be forced to admit that he went for a ride?Home and Away Spoilers – Remi and Bree set to split after ultimatum
