Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away is gearing up for a shock collapse for Ben Astoni in a new trailer, as well as the results of the current paternity storyline.
As viewers in Australia will know, the Astoni family have been involved in a lot of drama lately after the arrival of Marco, Ben's troublesome brother.
It's been revealed that Maggie actually had a one-night stand with Marco many years ago, raising the possibility that he could be Ziggy's father, rather than Ben.
With the truth out, they realise that a paternity test is the best option to finally get the answer, and in a new preview clip, we see Ziggy holding an envelope that appears to reveal all.
"I'll always be your dad and you'll always be my daughter," a voiceover of Ben declares as the two embrace on the beach.
However, another twist is to come as Ben is hospitalised after collapsing in front of Maggie, though it's currently unclear what causes the situation.
Meanwhile, we also get a glimpse at new arrival Tane Parata, who has made occasional appearances in recent months but hasn't moved to the bay just yet.
Speaking previously about the paternity storyline and the gruelling one-week wait for the truth, Ziggy actress Sophie Dillman told TV Week: "Technically, no-one did anything wrong in that [Maggie] didn't cheat and [Maggie and Ben] had broken up, but it's the lie she carried with her.
"Ziggy feels awful because she pushed Ben to rekindle the relationship with his brother. But Marco has destroyed that in one visit. Whatever the answer, the big question will forever be, how do you come back from something like this?"
Home and Away currently airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1.15pm on Channel 5 (UK), and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
