A gripping new storyline sees Summer Bay’s Theo Poulos start using drugs after being offered a pill by his mysterious new friend Valerie Beaumont during a night out
Theo Poulos of Home and Away is scheduled to appear in a new plot where he becomes involved with narcotics.
Matt Evans’ character, the Summer Bay bad boy, begins abusing drugs after being involved with Valerie Beaumont (Courtney Clarke), a newcomer who turns out to be a bit of a bad influence. Only a few weeks had passed since Valerie’s appearance on the soap opera, and it became clear that she and Leah (Ada Nicodemou) had shared a room at the mental health clinic.
Valerie has shown interest in Theo ever since she moved to the Bay. In addition, future sequences on the Channel 5 soap opera are rumored to feature her introducing him to drugs.
The pair apparently start to grow closer and Valerie opens up to Theo about her past. Scenes that have already aired in Australia showed her telling him about her brother, and sharing that he was killed in a car accident that she still blames herself for.
Later, Theo chooses to confide in his new friend as well, telling Valerie that he is struggling in college and that his love for music may be waning. They decide to go out together for the evening because of their newfound friendship, and Valerie gives Theo drugs.
Theo takes the medication Valerie gives him despite his initial skepticism, and after enjoying a wonderful evening with his new companion, he finds himself wanting more. Since Home and Away premieres in Australia before the UK, the suspenseful scenes will not be seen here for some time. However, they will air down under in the following days.
Plenty of Home And Away viewers are suspicious of Valerie and unsure of her intentions in Summer Bay, with many flocking to social media to ponder what she might be up to. “I don’t trust Valerie, anyone else feel the same?” one person posted on X. Another fan agreed: “Valerie is up to something.”
Others said they were desperate to find out why she was really there. “Come on Home And Away hurry up and tell us who the f*** is Valerie and why she is in the Bay – can’t wait any longer,” said one viewer.
“Who is Valerie?” demanded someone else, as one fan asked: “Any guesses why is she targeting Leah, Justin and Theo?”
“Valerie’s gotta be the most interesting character they’ve introduced in the last year,” another viewer commented.
