Home and Away (UK) Spoilers 25th - 29th July 2016

[Perdita]

Monday


Ricky and Nate finally have the talk they've been putting off. They both acknowledge how much they love each other and how badly they wanted their relationship to work, but they both know their marriage is over.

Tori later comforts a grieving Nate, who admits that Ricky never loved him as much as she loved Brax. Nate doesn't think Ricky will go back to Brax, as she is way too stubborn for that. However, it seems that Nate already has a plan forming to counteract that.

Later, Ricky is taken by complete surprise as Brax turns up, having been invited by Nate. Brax reveals he's now a free man. He didn't get in touch with Ricky, as he didn't want to interfere in what he thought was her happy marriage. However, now that Ricky is a free woman, Brax is here to ask her if she and Casey will spend their life with him. What will Ricky's decision be?

Meanwhile, Kat reluctantly decides to confide in Ash, who is shocked to discover that Josh killed Charlotte. Kat is convinced that the only course of action is to tell Josh that today has to be his last day of freedom. Either he turns himself in, or Kat will arrest him.

Going behind Kat's back, Ash tells Andy the truth and later warns Kat about his secretive actions. Hopefully by now Josh has already gone on the run, which will put paid to Kat's plans to arrest him. Kat is staggered by Ash's betrayal.

Elsewhere, Evie tells Josh that she wants to start thinking about their future together. She loves him so much, and as bad as things have been for her recently, she knows she'll make it through with Josh by her side. Josh can't take the guilt anymore and finally confesses to Evie - he killed Charlotte King.


Tuesday

Ricky confides in Phoebe, who is stunned to hear about the latest drama in her love life. Pheobe points out the obvious - Ricky loves Brax and she's going to go. Not long afterwards, Ricky thanks Nate and tells him that she's leaving. The pair share a bittersweet goodbye.

Later, Ricky and Brax load up the car and drive away to start their new life together. Nate is left alone and heartbroken. Back at Angelo's, Phoebe and Ash talk about how everyone is going to react to hearing that Brax is alive. They make a pact not to tell anyone that they knew. Ash's relationship with Kat wouldn't survive that secret and everyone has suffered enough.

Meanwhile, Kat is determined to arrest Josh, but Ash and Andy race to find Josh before she does. Ash nearly has an accident while texting Andy when driving. He almost gets into a fist fight with the other driver, whose companions calm things down and they get back into their car, heading towards the Bay. Who are these three strangers?

Later, Josh decides to do the right thing and tells Evie that he's handing himself in. However, when Josh and Evie arrive at the police station, they find that Andy has already confessed to Charlotte King's murder.

Elsewhere, the guys from earlier are revealed to be Tori's brothers. The Morgans arrive at their new home, and amongst some warm family banter, they remark on how many houses they've lived in. As they talk about settling in, they wonder whether they'll get to stay this time. What's their secret?


Wednesday

Kat gets a moment alone with Andy and tries to persuade him not to sacrifice himself for Josh. However, when Andy is formally interviewed, he 'confesses' to killing Charlotte because she was blackmailing him and threatening his family. This makes Kat realise that Josh had a motive for going to see Charlotte that night. Andy stuns the police further by admitting he also killed Jake Pirovic.

Later, Josh makes up his mind to come clean but Evie no longer agrees – Andy deliberately admitted to killing Jake, so he will go to prison whatever Josh decides. She can't see the sense in them both ending up in jail. After losing so many people this is her one chance not to lose him too. Josh eventually agrees not to say anything.

Meanwhile, Tori suggests Justin and Brody should try to find work, but Brody expresses unhappiness at giving up a good job where they were before. Justin heads to the local garage for work, but is annoyed to realise Ash co-owns the place and walks right back out.

Later, Brody and Mason sample the local Diner. Brody's food snobbery comes out and he inadvertently insults Leah, who orders them to leave. Tori is dismayed to learn the boys aren't settling in and cryptically points out they are meant to be making this one work.

Tess tells Phoebe that she wants Dom back in Home and Away

Elsewhere, Phoebe is troubled to learn from Tess that she has already made it clear to Dom that she wants him back and is still waiting for a response from him. Dom apologises for not being honest with Phoebe, admitting part of him will always love Tess. However, he remains adamant that it's Phoebe he wants to be with.

Mulling it all over, Phoebe briefly meets Justin, who is struggling to train his dog Buddy. He cheekily asks her out, but she declines. However, Phoebe later reaches the heartbreaking decision that she should split from Dom after seeing him spending time with his family and realising that he still loves Tess too much. Reeling from the break-up, Phoebe gets drunk and impetuously goes back to the Morgans' with Justin – with only one thing on their minds.

Thursday

Hungover after her night with Justin, Phoebe attempts to sneak out of the house while he's still sleeping. Brody spots her and is amused that his brother has already found a conquest. Phoebe dryly points out that she found Justin at the bar, so he's her conquest. After some more wry banter, Brody invites Phoebe to stay for breakfast. Phoebe hesitates and Brody assures her that Justin won't be awake for hours, so Phoebe agrees to stay.

Later, Brody and Phoebe are having fun getting to know each other over breakfast when Justin appears. He freezes on seeing Phoebe still there and Phoebe is equally as awkward. Justin is immensely relieved when Phoebe reveals she's happy to pretend it never happened.

Later, Brody is disappointed to hear that Justin doesn't want to see Phoebe, but he can't argue when Justin comments that there's no point getting to know people in town when they'll have to disappear again. What is this family's secret?

Meanwhile, Roo is feeling emotionally stronger after a week without taking diazepam, until Matt reveals he's moving back to the caravan park. He feels he should get out of Roo's hair now that Maddy has gone, but Roo is unsettled by this development. She soon tracks down Dr Chung and lies to get another diazepam prescription.

Later, Matt finds Roo passed out with a bottle of diazepam. He shakes her awake in a panic and Roo is ashamed of what Matt has found. She assures him that she doesn't have a problem and throws the pills in the bin to prove it. However, Matt witnesses Roo pick them out of the bin when she thinks he's not looking. Concerned, Matt tells Alf about what he's seen and the pair agree Roo is in a bad way.

Elsewhere, Janette Davies from DOCS arrives to see John, explaining that Skye has contacted them with a change of address. Relieved she is safe, John wants to know the address so he can convince her to come home, but Janette isn't allowed to give that information. She reminds John that Skye is 16 and not legally obliged to live with him anymore.


Friday

Alf reveals to Roo that he knows she's still on the pills, as Matt told him. Roo denies it and when Matt calls her on the lie, Roo continues to avoid the issue.

In the end, Roo caves by asking Matt and Alf if they can talk. Roo battles through to admit that she's not coping on her own. With their support, Roo sees a path out of her despair and is pleasantly surprised when Matt turns up at her apartment with a box of stuff, ready to move back in.

Meanwhile, Hunter's world is turned upside down when a journalist calls the house asking for comment and reveals that Andy Barrett has confessed to murdering his mother. Zac has to tell Hunter when he overhears, leaving Hunter stunned. With Leah not around, Zac is left to worry where this new information will lead Hunter.

Elsewhere, John arrives home to find Skye in the kitchen and he can't believe it. Skye soon clarifies she's just here to pick up some things, and say goodbye. John asks her to reconsider, but Skye is adamant this is the life she wants. She's mature about it, thanking John for everything he's done for her and for teaching her to stand up for herself again.

Also today, Olivia is thrown when she gets a call from Irene and all she can hear are scuffling sounds, then a hang up. Olivia tries to call back but only gets voicemail. Then a text from Irene pops up, calling Olivia by an odd nickname - "Oli". It's enough to send Olivia to Chris. She's had a feeling for weeks that something isn't right about Irene's continuing silence. Chris discounts her concern, but Olivia vows that it's time to take action.

Finally, VJ makes it clear to Billie that he wants to build a family with her.
