On her 46th birthday, Emily Symons brought her 'miracle' baby home.

'It was amazing, the best present I ever got in my life,’ smiles the proud first-time mum, tenderly cuddling the child she feared she would never have.

Tiny Henry Richard Francis Jackson is a source of endless joy for the long-running Home and Away actress.

'I still can’t believe it, apart from the fact that I never thought I would ever get pregnant,’ says Emily, who used IVF to conceive Henry.

The 46-year-old star admits that it was partner Paul Jackson, also 46, who persuaded her to make one last attempt to have a baby, despite her age and previous failures to fall pregnant. Luckily, Emily decided to give it another shot and is thrilled about becoming a mum for the first time.

Raving about her new bub, Emily cooed: ‘He’s such a good boy.'

Welcome to the world sweet Henry. That`s such a beautiful picture of them both. I`m so glad Emily is enjoying motherhood so much. She`s a natural. As they say....all good things come to those who wait. ♥

Home and Away couple John and Marilyn Palmer will hit the rocks in an upcoming storyline when it becomes clear that they have very different ideas about their future.

The pair once believed they would spend the rest of their lives together, but the cracks in their marriage started to show in the wake of Marilyn's life-changing electric shock.

Marilyn and John will prepare to renew their wedding vows

Although Marilyn has slowly regained her memory since waking from her coma, it is clear that the ordeal has changed her considerably.

John will become increasingly concerned about his marriage when Marilyn admits that she isn't ready to be a foster parent and later fails to show any enthusiasm as they prepare to renew their wedding vows.

Part of Marilyn's hesitance to commit to fostering is due to her desire to travel overseas, but with John keen to stay in Summer Bay, their marriage continues to come under strain.

As the day of the vow renewal arrives, Marilyn reaches breaking point after learning that their son Jett won't be attending the ceremony. Although Marilyn is keen to call the whole thing off, Irene, Roo and Leah persuade her to change her mind.

Marilyn soon finds herself being rushed down the aisle by her friends but when the time comes to actually take their vows, will she be able to go through with it?

Shane Withington, who plays John, told TV Week: "The storylines have been really hard to film.

"John is normally an optimistic sort of guy. He is the sort of guy who will have a go, fail and then get back up again. But when he saw his wife lying there in a coma, it just broke his heart."

This is the dumbest storyline ever. everything else makes sense to strain their marriage but this! and they've been making it out to be the worst thing ever... It's the 21st century there's no reason Marilyn can't be independent and travel the world by herself (which is probably what will end up happening), or they compromise and travel australia instead. It's so annoying seeing them stretch this out to be the worst thing that could happen when it's not.

Irene is pleased that Marilyn is recovering, but soon realises she is actually lying for John. Irene confronts Marilyn, who admits that she couldn't bear to see John suffer anymore. Irene thinks she should be honest with John and face the reality - it's the only way she'll get through this.

Marilyn tells John the truth and he's heartbroken, unable to believe the life they've built together may be gone. When Irene arrives home to see how it went with John, she finds Marilyn meditating.

Meanwhile, Evelyn shares with Maddy that she had unprotected sex with Tank. Maddy is worried and suggests she should take the morning after pill. When Evelyn tells Tank that she took the pill, he apologises and feels guilty that he wasn't more prepared yesterday.

Later, Tank wants to take Evelyn out to meet his mates and she agrees. Oscar is concerned when he sees them leave, but Maddy thinks he should relax. But when they enter Tank's place, Evelyn is confronted with a rough group of guys watching football and drinking beers. Can she handle it?

Over on Home and Away, John Palmer is given some long-awaited hope when his wife Marilyn finally remembers their wedding day.

John Palmer's life will hang in the balance on Home and Away as he suffers a brain injury in dramatic scenes.

The frightening moment takes place on what should be a romantic day for the Summer Bay favourite, as his wife Marilyn (Emily Symons) takes him out for a surprise boat trip and picnic lunch.

With this being Home and Away, though, it was never going to pass by peacefully without some incident or another, was it?

The drama kicks off when John tries to leap over a rail to board the boat, keen to impress Marilyn with a reminder of his navy days.

Sadly for John, he isn't quite as athletic as he used to be, so he ends up falling and banging his head on the bottom of the boat.

Shane Withington, who plays John, told TV Week: "Marilyn takes him on a boat, thinking he'll enjoy it because of his navy background.

"He says to Marilyn: 'Let me show you how we do things in the navy'. But as he leaps over the rail to get on the boat, he mistimes things and hits his head on the bottom of the boat."

Although John seems fine once he regains consciousness, he agrees to get himself checked out at the hospital as a precaution.

This turns out to be a wise move, as doctor Nate Cooper warns that John has a bleed on the brain as a result of his accident and it could be fatal.

As Marilyn despairs, what does the future hold for her and John?

Home and Away airs these scenes next week in Australia and early November on Channel 5 in the UK.
