Andy and Josh Barrett

[Perdita]

Over on Home and Away, Andy Barrett makes another bad decision as his resentment for Brax pushes him into the dangerous hands of Jake Pirovic.

Andy (Tai Hara) is unhappy when he sees his brother Josh (Jackson Gallagher) bonding with Brax (Steve Peacocke) and becomes further jealous when he sees Brax give Josh his first driving lesson.

After meeting up with Jake again, Andy is given an envelope of cash as Jake tells him to be patient. However, when Casey later spots Andy with the cash, he suspects that he is drug dealing again and confronts him.

Brax is concerned when he finds out what Andy is up to and sends him a text, which he receives whilst meeting up with Jake,

Jake encourages Andy to go and meet Brax, telling him that he needs Brax to trust him, while Ricky tries to persuade Brax to take a backseat and leave Andy to it.

Going against Ricky's pleas, Brax meets Andy at Angelo's. Andy tells Brax that he wants to give up dealing and he'll need Brax's help, but what is he up to?

Andy's brother Josh also faces a complicated time as he finds himself torn between Maddy Osborne and his new girlfriend Evie MacGuire.

Evie (Phillipa Northeast) is upset when she discovers that Josh confided in former girlfriend Maddy (Kassandra Clementi) over his problems with Andy, as opposed to talking to her.

After sharing her concerns with Zac, Evie decides to be upfront with Josh over how she feels about Maddy's involvement in their relationship.

However, Evie's honesty backfires when Josh turns on her and accuses her of creating problems which aren't there.

Eventually, Evie realises her fears are unfounded and apologises to Josh. Although the pair agree to put this latest drama behind them, are their problems really over?

Home and Away star Tai Hara has announced his engagement to girlfriend Fely Irvine.

The actor, who plays Andy Barrett in the Australian soap, proposed to Irvine during a holiday in Scotland, which marked the couple's second anniversary.

He told New Idea: "Obviously, I'd been planning it for quite a long time. I'd been carrying that ring around Europe for two weeks wrapped in three different bags and a sock, because it wasn't as if I could hide it in the hotel safe.

"I was terrified that someone was going to steal my luggage!"

Irvine was previously a member of Australian children's music group Hi-5. The couple first met when Barrett also attended an audition for a place.

Hara has been playing Summer Bay's Andy since 2013.

Home and Away's Andy Barrett will seek solace in the arms of another woman when he learns that his girlfriend Hannah Wilson has cheated on him.

Recent episodes airing in Australia have seen Hannah betray Andy (Tai Hara) by reigniting her romantic spark with former flame Sean.

Although Hannah regrets her actions when she learns that Sean has a wife, he tries to prove where his loyalties lie by dumping his partner so that he can be with Hannah full-time.

Hannah still isn't impressed and wants to stick with Andy after all, but their relationship lies in tatters when he finds out she has done the dirty on him.

With Sean's continued presence in Summer Bay making Andy fear the worst over Hannah's intentions, he finds himself in an emotional heart-to-heart with the love rat's jilted wife Emma at Angelo's.

After bonding over their mutual heartbreak, Andy and Emma soon head over to the gym where things get steamy between them. However, viewers will have to wait and see how far things go and whether there's any chance that Andy and Hannah can reunite once the dust settles.

Also ahead on Summer Bay, Josh Barrett will be thrown when he receives a message from his estranged mother in prison.

As he prepares to celebrate his 18th birthday, Josh (Jackson Gallagher) finds his plans put on hold when his mum leaves him a voicemail and asks him to call her.

What Josh doesn't know, is that his girlfriend Evie has arranged a surprise party for him to mark the special occasion. However, when a distracted Josh arrives early, he berates Evie for her efforts and insists he doesn't want to celebrate.

Realising that something is clearly bothering Josh, Andy tracks him down and forces his brother to open up to him.

As Josh reveals that their mother tries to get in contact, Josh explains that she had always promised a huge party for his 18th and it just reminds him of the disappointment they went through with her.

Andy encourages Josh to forget about the past and focus on the people who love him now, but will Josh be able to move forward?

Home and Away airs these scenes on Thursday, July 30 and Friday, July 31.

Josh ends up blind

Josh ends up blind

SPOILER ALERT! A photo has just surfaced online showing Josh walking with the aid of a white cane, with Andy & Hannah walking either side of him. If he is indeed blind, I wonder how this will come about - will it have something to do with his upcoming drug storyline? He also is found unconscious after falling down the stairs next week (in Aust), but with the photo just surfacing, I assume the "blind" storyline won't be on air for sometime yet, so perhaps not related to the fall (unless it is a delayed reaction?). Also, how long will his blindness last? Given how quickly others have recovered from major injuries, I assume he won't be blind for too long!

(I hope that Hannah being there with Andy doesn't mean they eventually get back together in the end (maybe brought back together by Josh's plight?). - I couldn't stand it!)

One Summer Bay resident will be left fighting for their life after being shot in a dramatic siege in Home and Away.

Josh Barrett, Marilyn Chambers and Kat Chapman are among the characters central to the drama, which will start after Josh's drug dealer Damo takes him hostage.

The story kicks off after Josh has a bad reaction to some drugs he bought from Damo and subsequently decides to go to Kat and report them.

However, when Damo approaches Evie with a threatening message for Josh - warning that he needs to keep quiet over the incident - it is clear that there is serious trouble ahead.

After the police find the drugs that Damo is stashing, he decides to take revenge on Josh by smashing up his house with a bat, prompting Marilyn and Kat to arrive on the scene.

As Kat tries to calm the situation, she puts her gun down on the table in the hope that it will prompt Damo to put down the bat, but as everyone lunges for the weapon, tragedy strikes.

While a crowd begins to gather outside the house, everyone is stopped in their tracks when a shot is heard, but who is the victim?

Andy & Josh Barrett the two most dullest & boring characters on the show along with Evie, Oscar, Hannah & Matt. The sooner these all leave the better. Non of them have any personality whatsoever.
