TV Week also says:

- Hello stranger! Why is Alf's son Duncan back in the Bay? ...Alf's estranged son arrives from the US without warning & lands on his dad's doorstep. Alf is not at all pleased to see Duncan. Fans will know Duncan (Benedict Wall) has rather a chequered history in Summer Bay. As a teenager, he was a bad boy who let off homemade bombs & became addicted to drugs. He eventually moved to the US to live with Roo, choosing to remain there after she came home.....This week Duncan tells his father it's time they talked. But, Alf simply walks away. "Things between them are pretty rocky," Benedict says of Alf & Duncan. Roo, however, is more welcoming, greeting her half-brother with a warm hug. The next morning, Roo finds Duncan strolling on the beach reflecting on his less than ideal reunion with his dad. Roo apologises & Duncan tells her he'll do whatever it takes to make peace with Alf. Others in town are overjoyed Duncan's back. Marilyn, Irene & John all embrace him. But, Alf keeps his distance. The two have had their problems in the past. But, they had made their peace by the time Alf flew overseas to attend Duncan's wedding. In the past few years, however, they've barely spoken. When Duncan found out about Alf's recent stroke, he knew he needed to see him. "Duncan loves his father, & the fact they're not talking weighs heavily on him," Benedict explains. "When it got to the point of Alf almost dying, it was just the push Duncan needed for him to come home to try & fix things." Eventually Alf's iciness towards Duncan melts as his son reveals he blames himself for an incident involving his wife. It seems like things are finally improving between father & son. That is, until Duncan drops a bombshell (not literally this time!): he has a five-year-old-son! Alf is not impressed to discover, out of the blue, that he has another grandchild. It looks as though it's going to take a miracle to get Alf & Duncan on the same page.

- Bowing out. Pregnant Billie is about to flee the Bay! She's put on a brave face so far, but Billie's facade is starting to crack in this week's episodes. Rather than face the truth - and tell VJ her baby isn't his - Billie plans to do a runner... Last week, Billie & VJ decided to call time on their fledgling relationship. In the wake of their break-up, both VJ & Billie are now clearly miserable. Billie tells Leah she thinks she & the baby are ruining VJ's life. Leah, however, implores her to let VJ support her. But, a panicked Billie dashes off. Later, she scrawls a letter to VJ, explaining he's not the father of her baby. She's making plans to hightail it out of the Bay. Is this the last we'll see of Billie?

- Love Tori-angle. Will Nate choose Danika over the doc? His marriage to Ricky has only just ended. But, Nate (Kyle Prior) has already turned his attention to not one, but two other women! This week, he's faced with a somewhat enviable decision - which lovely lady does he really want to be with, Danika or Tori? Nate has been having some fun with Danika. Clearly, she's keen on seeing more of him. But, he's confused. Truth be told, he probably likes Tori more than Danika. However, he's unsure of Tori's feelings. "He's conflicted," Kyle, 33, says. "He's never wanted to mix business with pleasure, really. And, while there was an initial spark between them, what happened with Ricky is still pretty raw." He pours his heart out to Chris, who advises him to break-up with Danika. Surprisingly, given Chris' track record with relationships isn't crash hot, Nate takes his advice. Nate tries to put and end to things with Danika - problem is, she doesn't listen. In fact, she somehow manages to get Nate to agree to meet her the following day. "He enjoys spending time with Danika," Kyle admits. "But, he's concerned that if they end up in a relationship someone could end up getting their feelings hurt." Will he call it quits with Danika? And, how does Tori feel about Nate, anyway?


Trivia: Benedict Wall, who will play Duncan Stewart, is the boyfriend of Jessica Grace Smith, who played Denny on H&A.
