Home and Away Aust 2025 finale storyline

[Pantherboy]

As previously speculated in the 22-25 Sept thread, the 2025 Aust pace finale will involve a train crash: "a couple of months ago a large number of the H&A cast were seen by residents of Cowra filming a number of scenes at the Lachlan Valley Railway Heritage Centre (Cowra is a town in the Central West region of New South Wales, about 4 hours from Sydney). Nothing has been confirmed, but the filming made around various train yards has prompted fans to speculate that some kind of train crash may feature in this year's H&A season finale in Aust."

Ch7 is expected to release a promo soon.

Home & Away?s 2025 cliffhanger stunt
Who will survive this year's big soapie cliffhanger?

At Seven Upfronts this week a promo was revealed for the 2025 cliffhanger.

Emily Weir (Mackenzie Booth) teased a never-before-attempted stunt which would have fans hooked when it screens in coming weeks.

What followed was Summer Bay characters on a train carriage, which subseqently crashed inside a tunnel.

Who knew Summer Bay even had a train line, let alone a tunnel? Maybe it has linked to Yabbie Creek all this time?

The crash that sent frontline workers, including Jeremy Lindsay Taylor as Sgt. David Langham into overdrive with some characters trapped inside in peril, and others on the outside about to risk life and limb to free them.

Seven is expected to release the promo soon.

It's great that a long-running soap still ends the year on a traditional soapie cliffhanger. For once, it doesn't conclude in another car crash.

If Bree hasn't left by then I'm predicting she'll die. Although I can think of a few other characters I'd like to see go

Home and Away aired the first promo for this year's Aust season finale, during tonight's 'The Voice' grand finale. It showed the 'party' train crash which (not confirmed) could be a launch party for Remi and Sonny's new 'Back on Track' record label.

(Also, for the UK, Channel 5 have now confirmed that this year's final episode will air on Friday 5th December - the show was originally scheduled to end two weeks earlier, on Friday 21st November, but has now been extended until Dec 5th.)



EDIT/Update on why everyone is on the train:

Ch7 have made a press release on Monday revealing that "in Home and Away's final week of the year, a number of the Bay's residents board a party train en route to 'Off the Rails', a three-day musical festival in Broken Hill, where Remi (Adam Rowland) and Sonny (Ryan Bown) have secured a performance slot for their newest signing, Eddie Shepherd (Stephen Madsen)."

(Broken Hill is a mining town on the border of New South Wales and South Australia.)
