Home and Away leaves Ari Parata's fate uncertain after hit and run horror
Tane, Nikau and Mia are left waiting for news.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...run-aftermath/
Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has left Ari Parata's loved ones in turmoil as they wait for news on whether he'll recover from his hit and run incident.
Ari was deliberately knocked over by his enemy Paul in this week's Australian episodes, as the evil gangster continued to take revenge against the Parata family.
Paul and his sidekick Leon have been targeting the Paratas for months over an unpaid debt. Although Heath Braxton temporarily managed to get the thugs to back off, they have since resurfaced to settle the score.
In this week's episodes in Australia, Ari was found unconscious at the side of the road by his nephew Nikau and Bella Nixon.
The teens ensured that Ari was rushed to hospital, where doctors decided to put him in a medically induced coma.
Christian Green also realised that Ari would need urgent surgery after examining his scans and discovering that he had a bleed on his brain.
Although the surgery went well, Christian later had to report back to Ari's loved ones that he wouldn't be brought out of his coma immediately.
As Ari needed time to heal, there were still no firm guarantees over his future. His friends and family were told that all anyone could do was wait for further updates.
Ari's scare had a big impact on various characters around him. His younger brother Tane went out for revenge against Paul, attacking him before bringing the villain to the hospital and asking for the police to be called.
Meanwhile, newcomer Mia Anderson was left regretting a recent row with Ari as she faced up to the strength of her feelings for him. Could they now reunite if Ari makes a recovery?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 next month.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5, with first look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away's Ari?s survival hangs in the balance after a shock hit and run
And those around him are losing faith in his Doctor.
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...-survive-67099
It's the sad sight no Home And Away fan wants to see.
Ari Parata, the victim of a heinous hit- and-run, clings to life this week.
But as he lies in a coma in hospital, his loved ones must now face the unthinkable: the possibility he will die.
Last week, the Bay was shocked when Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) was cruelly mown down by a car driven by notorious criminal Paul (Jack Finsterer) and left for dead.
At the time, Ari's ex, Mia (Anna Samson), furious that Ari was mixed up with Paul, was set to skip town with daughter Chloe (Sam Barrett).
"When Mia learnt the truth about Ari, it brought up all the old feelings of disappointment and anger because he was repeating old behaviours," Rob tells TV WEEK.
But once Mia learnt Ari had been injured in a hit-and-run, she was at his bedside, promising to patch up their complicated relationship when he pulls through ? if he pulls through.
Mac (Emily Weir), who was devastated when Ari broke up with her over his feelings for Mia, was about to tell Ari she was pregnant with his child when she heard the news he was in surgery following a brain bleed.
She desperately wanted to see him ? but when she saw Mia at his bedside, a panicked Mac fled.
This week, with Ari not improving, Dr Christian (Ditch Davey) begins to question his own judgement.
His fianc?e Tori (Penny McNamee) loyally stands by him, reminding him that he's a brilliant surgeon. But nurse Lewis' (Luke Arnold) snide barbs about his past don't make things any better.
In truth, Christian's confidence has been faltering for some time.
"Christian starts to doubt his own ability when some of his patients start taking a turn for the worse, or even dying," Ditch, 48, says.
Things come to a head when Mia overhears Lewis and questions if Christian is the right man for the job.
Then, nurse Jasmine (Sam Frost) offers Mia the opportunity to get a second opinion about Ari's condition, which infuriates Tori.
"Tori and Jasmine are starting to have their own concerns about Christian's ability," Ditch explains.
"Through this, he feels he's becoming more and more isolated, which starts breeding his own paranoia."
Will Christian decide to bring Ari out of the coma? And if he does, will he survive?
is or was mia and ari married
I bet Ari is the one who "dies" and is brought back to life by Logan , the new trauma doctor... Old mate nurse will get the blame and thats when the new cop comes in and Jasmine shags him ,gets pregnant and thinks it is bad nurse guy butin fact its new cops kid.
In all this time Justin still has not worked yet despite getting a bank cheque to give to some random pretending to be a real estate agent..
Roo hasn't worked yet either , she is to busy drinking tea while wearing her cowgirl hat following her parents around.
why didn't ari look up mia and chloe on his release
No brain damage or anything , wakes up in his singlet and he is all good. Ari will be back at Salt in no time drinking half beers and scoring free pizza off Mac in no time.

Home And Away shock betrayal as Tane shares a forbidden kiss with Mac
What will Ziggy think?
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...mac-kiss-67548
This is the image that will leave Home And Away fans shocked to the core this week: Mac and Tane kissing passionately!
But is their illicit lip-lock a case of lust run wild ? or is there more to the steamy smooch than meets the eye?
Mac (Emily Weir) has been on a downward spiral ever since she lost her former lover Ari's (Rob Kipa-Williams) baby.
Two hospital visits ? one of which left her fighting for her life ? have taken a toll on the once bubbly young woman.
According to Emily, Mac is acting out due to "the pain and trauma of having an ectopic pregnancy, breaking up with Ari (a man she loves) and facing the truth ? which is the fact that this is not what she had envisioned for herself at this stage of her life".
Feeling desperately sad and alone, Mac has attempted to numb her pain with booze. And this week, her behaviour becomes ever more reckless.
An afternoon drinking session with Jasmine (Sam Frost) leads to a sloshed Mac showing up on Tane's (Ethan Browne) doorstep, demanding to see his brother Ari, who isn't home.
Taking matters into his own hands, Tane decides to escort Mac to her own place.
But no sooner is she in the door, that hot mess Mac is trying it on with Tane. She curls her arms around his back and plants a kiss on his lips before he knows what's happening.
"Mac is seeking validation of being desired," Emily explains. "Ari leaving her made her feel completely unloveable ? and she knows Tane has always had a soft spot for her.
"So, to distract herself ? and seek revenge on her ex, Ari ? she acts out while drunk."
She may be heavily intoxicated, but surely Mac knows what she's done has crossed a big line?
"Initially, Mac doesn't regret her actions," Emily reveals.
"She keeps pushing away everyone she loves, so to admit she's wrong would mean she would have to change her behaviour, and she's not yet ready to confront herself."
Tane's girlfriend ? and Mac's close friend ? Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) will be furious when she finds out about this.
But Mac's not done with a drunken pash, urging Tane to jump into the sack with her. But will he go that far?

Home and Away: Has Nikau betrayed Bella with stunning model Allegra?
NIkau and Allegra share a steamy photo-shoot kiss
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...ts-bella-67703
This is the moment that could break Home And Away fans' hearts.
Nikau this week pashes modelling partner Allegra at a shoot ? as his girlfriend Bella watches on in horror.
From the start, Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has been reluctant to really embrace the world of modelling.
Truth is, it's Bella (Courtney Miller) who has encouraged her boyfriend to give it a go. But her words may have come back to bite her this week.
We pick things up at a modelling shoot in Summer Bay. When Nikau finds it hard to focus, Bella, an assistant for the day, offers to help.
But modelling agent Sienna (Rose Riley) directs Nikau and Allegra (Laura McDonald) closer and closer together.
"Nikau's completely overwhelmed by Allegra's confidence as he only wishes he could be in the moment and pose like she does," Kawakawa, 23, tells TV WEEK.
As Bella watches them, it's obvious she's uncomfortable seeing Allegra with Nikau. And he feels the same, knowing Bella is there.
Sensing this, wily Sienna sends Bella to do a coffee run to get her away from Nikau.
While Nikau finds his groove, Sienna is not completely satisfied the shoot is sexy enough. When Niaku is out of earshot, she hatches a sneaky plan with Allegra?
Just as Bella returns, laden with the coffees, she spies Allegra passionately kissing Nikau. Oh, no!
"Nikau is completely shocked by the kiss," Kawakawa explains. "He did not see it coming and it takes him by surprise. And then, on the top of that, he realises Bella has seen them kiss.
"So, it's all a bit too much for him and he's worried how Bella is feeling.
Shocked by the sight of the two of them locking lips, Bella flees the shoot. Nikau tells Sienna the shoot is over and takes off after Bella.
Can he repair the damage?
does ari find out about mac and his baby?
Yeah Mia lips tells him. He still doesn't go to work though and neither does Justin.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata modelling storyline takes a worrying turn
He takes on board some dangerous advice from Allegra.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...worrying-turn/
Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has launched a new issue-based storyline for Nikau Parata on Australian screens.
Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has started working as a model and is keen to impress his demanding new agent Sienna Blake.
Although Nikau has already made strong progress by impressing clients, booking regular jobs and building up a social media following, he's keen to take his career to the next level.
A worrying new direction for the storyline began on Australian screens on Thursday (May 27) as Nikau's fellow model Allegra Freeman gave him some advice.
As Nikau opened up over how he felt under pressure to stay in shape for his new job, Allegra suggested that he should start taking an appetite suppressant.
Allegra handed over a small supply of the suppressant to Nikau, explaining that it was produced by a friend of hers and she uses it herself, believing that it's all part of the job.
Nikau's girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) was understandably troubled when he confided in her about Allegra's suggestion, especially as ? with no ingredients listed ? he had no idea what he'd be putting into his body. Bella's concern turned to relief when Nikau clarified that he had no intention of using it.
However, when Bella suggested throwing it out in the garbage, Nikau held back and secretly decided to keep hold of it.
Nikau also decided to join the local gym for the first time and pushed himself hard with multiple workouts per day.
Other scenes saw him starting to lie to his friends and family about food, avoiding meals by claiming that he'd already eaten.
Home and Away is expected to continue exploring this issue in the coming weeks, as Nikau faces additional pressures and deals with the darker side of the modelling world.
Laura McDonald, who plays Allegra, recently hinted at this storyline when she told Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "We definitely delve into disordered eating for sure."
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early July.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away heartbreak for Nikau and Bella as their relationship hits crisis point
Can they get back on track?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...-crisis-point/
Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has hinted that Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon's relationship could be in big trouble.
The young couple continued to drift further apart in Thursday's triple bill of episodes in Australia (June 3), as Nikau's new career remained his sole focus of attention.
Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has started working as a model, and although he was initially uncomfortable with the job, he's now throwing himself into the opportunity to help provide a better life for his family.
Unfortunately, Nikau's commitment has started to lead him down a troubling path, including pushing himself too hard with exercise and skipping meals.
Although Bella (Courtney Miller) remains unaware of this, she has noticed Nikau's obsession with his image and boosting his social media presence.
The final straw came in the show's latest episodes, as Nikau teamed up with his controlling agent Sienna Blake (Rose Riley) and fellow model Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald) to host a promotional event that would secure him more online followers.
With help from Sienna, impressionable Nikau organised a poolside party which would be fully documented on social media.
As Nikau obsessed over every last detail of the day, Bella lost patience with the obvious change in her boyfriend and branded the whole scenario "fake".
In a row which threatened to jeopardise their future, Bella finally snapped and told Nikau: "You are turning into an insecure, social media obsessed fake. Nik, you're changing, and I don't like it very much."
Can Nikau and Bella work through this, or will their tension only get worse?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early July.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's Nikau Parata keeps a devastating secret in new storyline
His future with Bella is under threat.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...tating-secret/
Home and Away spoilers follow from recent Australian episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has kicked off an infidelity and blackmail storyline for Nikau Parata on Australian screens this week.
Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) is currently taking centre stage in the show as his new modelling career continues to threaten his relationship with Bella Nixon.
Ever since Nikau started throwing himself into his lucrative new career, Bella (Courtney Miller) has become concerned by changes in his behaviour and the tough demands of the job.
The situation took a shocking step further on Aussie screens this week, as Nikau's scheming agent Sienna Blake (Rose Riley) made it her mission to drive a bigger wedge between him and Bella.
When Nikau was busy with a photoshoot in the city which clashed with Bella and Emmett Ellison's big photography exhibition back in the Bay, Sienna slyly decided to delay his arrival so he couldn't be there to support his girlfriend.
With a little help from Nikau's fellow model Allegra Freeman, Sienna also tricked him into thinking that a romantic spark was developing between Bella and Emmett in his absence.
Stunned by the false thought that Bella could cheat on him, Nikau spent the night with Sienna in her city apartment. He only realised the next morning that Bella had done nothing wrong and he had been set up by Sienna and Allegra.
Finally fed up with Sienna's deception, Nikau vowed to pull out of an important work trip to Japan and quit the modelling agency altogether.
Sienna made it clear that this wasn't an option, threatening to blow apart Nikau's relationship with Bella unless he continued to cooperate.
Sienna warned: "You will fulfil your contract and you will go to Japan. Because if you don't, I'll tell Bella all about what happened between us."
Will Nikau be forced to continue following Sienna's orders to save his relationship?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early August.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata to make shock confession to Bella Nixon

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.
Home and Away's Nikau Parata is set to make a big decision as he confesses the truth to girlfriend Bella Nixon about his recent night with Sienna Blake.
Ever since Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) began a modelling career, Bella (Courtney Miller) has had concerns about changes in Nikau's behaviour as he struggles to cope with the pressures and expectations that come with his new job.
Nikau's devious agent Sienna (Rose Riley) has made it her mission to drive a wedge between Nikau and Bella, including recently scheming with model Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald) to not only make Nikau miss Bella's photography exhibition but also to convince him that Bella has a romantic spark with Emmett Ellison (JR Reyne).
Upset Nikau ended up spending the night with Sienna, before immediately regretting his actions the next morning.
Scheming Sienna is now using her night with Nikau to blackmail him into continuing his modelling work, but in upcoming scenes Nikau will decide enough is enough.
TV Week reports that, in scenes that will air this week in Australia and in around six weeks' time in the UK, Nikau will be facing further turmoil as he keeps his guilty secret.
While out on a photo shoot, Nikau will be taunted by fellow model Allegra as she makes sly comments to him about sleeping with Sienna, pushing Nikau to breaking point.
After Nikau confides in his uncle Tane Parata (Ethan Browne), Tane urges him to be truthful with Bella and Nikau vows to come clean to her, with actor Kawakawa saying that Nikau's secret "takes a toll on him".
How will Bella react to Nikau's devastating confession?
Actor Kawakawa, who plays Nikau, recently opened up about the challenges of his new storyline, saying that he felt "nervous" filming the modelling scenes.

Home and Away airs devastating outcome of Nikau and Bella story
Is it all over between them?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ating-outcome/
Major Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away may have split up Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon for good.
The couple's relationship has been a ticking timebomb on Australian screens in recent weeks, after Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) cheated on Bella by sleeping with his scheming modelling agent Sienna Blake.
Nikau betrayed Bella (Courtney Miller) after Sienna tricked him into thinking that his girlfriend was being unfaithful with her photography mentor Emmett Ellison. He soon realised this wasn't the case, but the damage had already been done.
In Thursday night's episodes on Channel 7 in Australia (July 1), Nikau decided that it was time to tell Bella the truth.
Although Nikau had hoped to keep his shameful secret under wraps, his uncle Tane (Ethan Browne) repeatedly warned him that it was best to come clean before Bella found out from anybody else.
With Sienna slyly using the secret as leverage ? and Nikau's fellow model Allegra Freeman also in the know ? it was a real possibility that Bella could uncover the truth in another way.
Fearful that Sienna could get in there first, Nikau took Bella to the beach for a chat and confessed that he cheated on her with his ruthless agent.
Nikau explained the complicated circumstances, but Bella was understandably devastated and rushed off.
After confronting Sienna for her antics, Bella returned home to the pier apartment and refused to see Nikau.
Nikau did make an attempt to visit Bella and plead his case, but she kicked him out and made it clear that she was in no mood to speak to him.
Tane was pleased with his nephew's honesty and took matters into his own hands, warning Sienna that Nikau would have nothing more to do with her agency.
Sienna, who's planning to take Nikau and Allegra on a three-month work trip to Japan, smugly reminded Tane that Nikau is still under a strict contract.
Despite this, Nikau had similar ideas as he told Sienna: "I'm not going to Japan with you or anywhere else, ever. No matter what, I'm done."
Will Nikau be able to escape from Sienna's manipulation?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes in mid-August on Channel 5.

Home and Away has revealed Nikau Parata's big new decision over Sienna Blake (Rose Riley).
The Australian soap recently dropped a new trailer that shows the aftermath of Nikau's recent split from Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller).
The pair separated after Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) finally confessed to Bella that he cheated on her with his modelling agent Sienna Blake, with the new trailer revealing that Nikau will come to the decision to leave Summer Bay alongside Sienna.
The new footage sees Nikau try and ultimately fail to win back Bella, with Bella rejecting him and telling Nikau he's now dead to her.
Distraught at having lost everything, Nikau can be seen deciding to go ahead and join Sienna on a three-month modelling trip in Japan.
However, that decision is of immediate concern to Nikau's uncles Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) and Tane (Ethan Brown), who worry Sienna can't be trusted and fear Nikau is making another huge mistake.
Will Nikau listen to his uncles, or will he soon be saying goodbye to the Bay?

Home and Away's Nikau Parata punches Ryder Jackson in row over Bella
His friends are starting to turn against him.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...h-bella-chloe/
Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
This week on Home and Away, Nikau's friends are starting to turn against him for cheating on Bella. As Ryder confronts his mate, things quickly become violent.
The most recent trailer already teased things turning sour between Nikau, Bella (Courtney Miller) and Sienna (Rose Riley), after Nikau recently came clean to Bella about cheating on her with his modelling agent Sienna.
His hopes of ever getting back with Bella are shattered in scenes airing this week in Australia and in six weeks in the UK when she tells it to him in plain terms: "You are dead to me."
However, Nikau actor Kawakawa Fox-Reo told TV Week: "Nikau will always be in love with Bella."
His actions are also starting to divide his friends: while Chloe (Sam Barrett) defends Nikau and believes it's all Sienna's fault for tricking him into cheating on Bella to control him, Ryder (Lukas Radovich) can't justify his friend's actions.
And for both, things will start to get fiery. Chloe confronts Bella and attacks her for breaking up with Nikau. Bella, however, is resolute in her position and tells Chloe to mind her own business.
Meanwhile, Ryder catches up with Nikau, who is in no mood to discuss things or get lectured by his friend. When Ryder pushes him to talk about the affair, Nikau's frustration takes over and he delivers a vicious punch to his mate's face.
Chloe is there to tend to Ryder's bruises, but it's unclear whether the friendship between the two men can be healed as well.
Now that he has lost the love of his life and potentially his friends too, Nikau might be more inclined to take Sienna up on her offer to leave Summer Bay for a three-month modelling stint in Japan.
Will Nikau leave everything behind and move on with Sienna?

Home and Away's Tane Parata left devastated by Ziggy Astoni confession
The truth comes out.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ni-confession/
Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away's Tane Parata has insisted on time apart from Ziggy Astoni after discovering her surprise betrayal.
Wednesday's episode on Channel 7 in Australia (July 21) saw Tane react to the revelation that Ziggy had shared a kiss with her ex-boyfriend Dean Thompson.
Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) and Dean (Patrick O'Connor) were drawn closer as they headed into the city to attend Bella Nixon's photography exhibition. Ziggy ultimately decided this was a mistake, but not before Tane's nephew Nikau saw her kissing Dean.
Earlier this week, Nikau hinted at the truth by encouraging Tane (Ethan Browne) to ask Ziggy what had happened between her and Dean at the exhibition.
In Wednesday's episode, Tane chose not to confront Ziggy straight away and instead waited to see whether she'd tell him the truth herself.
In the end, this proved to be the case as Ziggy was unable to cope with her guilt and chose to confess to Tane.
Ziggy explained: "Something happened at the exhibition that I need you to know about. I kissed Dean. I shut it down. We kissed, it was a stupid mistake and I've spoken to Dean and he agrees. I'm so sorry ? I'm a hypocrite. And I will never do that again."
Much to Ziggy's surprise, Tane did not react angrily but made it clear that their relationship couldn't go back to normal straight away.
He said: "I'm glad you sorted it with Dean, but I'm going to need some time ? and space."
Ziggy agreed to respect this, but how long will she need to wait?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in September.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Busted! Tane lands himself in hot water with a new fling on Home and Away
Tane moves on from his split with Ziggy in record time, but has he just made things even more complicated?
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...rlfriend-68716
It didn't take Tane long to move on, did it? After breaking up with Ziggy, Tane has a one-night stand with a mysterious Summer Bay newcomer in this week's Home And Away.
But when a shirtless Tane (Ethan Browne) tries to sneak away the next morning, he realises new girl Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) is hot cop Cash's (Nicholas Cartwright) sister.
And we know Tane doesn't have a great track record with the police. How did he land himself in hot water?
Tane is reeling from his break-up with Ziggy (Sophie Dillman). The pair called it quits last week when Ziggy found out her ex, Dean (Patrick O'Connor), was injured in the car crash and feared she would lose him.
"Ziggy realised in that moment that she couldn't live without Dean," Sophie, 28, tells TV WEEK.
This week, Ziggy visits Dean in hospital and drops the bombshell that she and Tane are over, before fleeing the ward. Later, when she returns, Ziggy finally tells Dean how she really feels. The pair share a magic kiss.
But here's the kicker ? what neither of them know is that Tane sees it all. And you can imagine how he reacts when he catches up with the Zig-ster.
"Ziggy is devastated about their break-up," Sophie reveals. "Tane has done nothing wrong and she never wanted to hurt him. She loves him, and he was such a great boyfriend and person, but she can't help still loving Dean."
Later, Tane, trying to haul himself out of his break-up funk, hits the nightclub, where he claps eyes on Felicity. She flirts up a storm with Tane and, before long, they're drinking the night away together.
Showing she has quite the wild side, Felicity jumps up on the bar and starts dancing Coyote Ugly-style. Next thing you know, she and Tane are together at her place.
But the next morning, as Tane tries to sneak out of her bedroom, he bumps into the very person he didn't want to see: Felicity's brother and housemate, Cash.
Has Tane just created a whole lot more trouble for himself?
Home and Away airs Monday to Thursday, 7pm on Channel Seven.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata makes surprising decision after Bella Nixon's ultimatum
What's next for Nikau and Bella?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ixon-decision/
Home and Away spoilers follow for Australian and UK audiences.
Home and Away is set to deliver a surprise twist in upcoming episodes, as Nikau Parata makes an unexpected decision about his relationship with Bella Nixon.
In scenes set to air later this week in Australia and in a few weeks' time in the UK, Nikau and Bella's future is thrown into doubt, as the fallout from Nikau's affair with his modelling agent Sienna Blake continues.
Nikau cheated on Bella after wrongly believing that she had betrayed him with her photography mentor Emmett Ellison, but later came clean after realising that he'd made a mistake.
Now, it appears the ball is in Nikau's court as Bella decides that she's willing to give her relationship with Nikau one more shot (via TV Week).
Bella gives her ex a final ultimatum, telling Nikau that it's now or never, and that if things don't change, they'll have to walk away from each other forever.
To Bella's surprise, a stubborn Nikau resists Bella's ultimatum and leaves. Bella is crushed once again, but are things really over between the on-off couple?
Opening up about the emotional cheating storyline, Courtney Miller ? who plays Bella ? told Digital Spy that she knew the heart-breaking scenes would resonate with Home and Away fans.
"I knew this storyline would be a heartbreaker for those at home watching," she said last month.
"Bella and Nikau share such a beautiful and realistic love. I was excited to bring truth to the heartbreak Bella would feel, a feeling that everyone watching would resonate with. If Bella found out about Nikau cheating, she would be absolutely heartbroken. Nikau is the earth under her feet."

Home and Away lines up new job drama for Nikau Parata
There's more trouble ahead for him.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ata-job-drama/
Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.
Home and Away's Nikau Parata will fear for his new job after a tense encounter with troublesome Theo Poulos.
Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has started working as a lifesaver on the beach in recent episodes on Channel 7 in Australia.
Nikau is excited for the fresh start after his disastrous stint as a model, especially after studying hard to become qualified. However, another reckless stunt from Theo (Matt Evans) now threatens to ruin things for him.
In Wednesday's episode in Australia (November 17), Theo was determined to create another viral video for social media, after his recent success teaming up with Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) for filmed challenges and pranks.
Ryder has vowed to stop working with Theo, who'd upset him by boasting about a secret kiss with Chloe Anderson (Sam Barrett).
Theo wasn't deterred and vowed to go it alone, so he came up with a plan to disrupt Nikau's first shift working for John Palmer (Shane Withington).
When Theo pretended that he could see someone drowning in the sea, Nikau rushed off to the rescue. This gave Theo the perfect opportunity to steal the lifesavers' Polaris vehicle on the beach while Nikau was distracted.
Theo took the vehicle on a joyride and recorded the whole thing for social media. However, he was soon in serious trouble when Nikau told John, who threatened to call the police over the theft of the vehicle.
John also sent Nikau home for the day, seemingly unimpressed that he'd been tricked by Theo so easily.
In Thursday's episodes (November 18) in Australia, Nikau accuses Theo of jeopardising his job and a fight breaks out between the two young men. John is disgusted that Nikau would get involved in violence while wearing his lifesafer uniform, so this only makes things worse.
Has Nikau blown his fresh start already?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes early next year on Channel 5.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away: Will Tane's dark family secret put Felicity in jeopardy?
Tane is struggling to keep the family afloat in the wake of his brother?s confession.
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...y-secret-70949
Ari has confessed to murder and faces a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit.
As pressure mounts to find the truth, the Parata family vow to keep their silence. But will Tane crack under the pressure?
On Home And Away this week, Tane (Ethan Browne) is struggling to keep the family afloat in the wake of his brother's confession.
In recent episodes, Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) admitted to killing Matthew (James Sweeny) to save his fianc? Mia (Anna Sampson) and her daughter Chloe.
But the truth is, Chloe killed her father in self-defence during a violent confrontation.
Mia planned to dispose of the body but was caught by police driving out of town. Without Ari's selfless confession, they both go to jail.
"Ari remains ferociously protective of them," Anna tells TV WEEK.
Nikau, who has already lost his father, can't stand the thought of losing Ari and takes out his anger on Chloe. At the same time, Tane has no one to turn too in his time of need.
He recently told his girlfriend Felicity (Jacqui Purvis), who's the sister of local cop Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) to give him space. Hurt, Felicity turns to Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) ? why has he shut her out?
Felicity needs a distraction and finds it as Salt where Mac (Emily Weir) is struggling to find staff. To her surprise, Mac offers her a job, starting immediately.
Felicity dives in, feeling good about her new path ? until Tane walks in to pick up pizza. Their chemistry bubbles to the surface.
"Tane and Flicks relationship is very strong," Jacqui tells TV WEEK. "To be honest, they can't keep their hands off each other!"
That night, Felicity arrives at Tane's van and the pair can't hide their feelings anymore.
After spending the night together, Felicity presses him for more information. What's really going on with Ari? There has to be more to the story?
Will Tane reveal the truth? And if so, will it put Felicity in jeopardy?

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...ne-nikau-71040
In Home and Away, Tane (Ethan Browne) and Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) are reeling after visitng Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) in remand.
It's clear he's not coping well in jail, but refuses to divulge the truth. Nikau is livid.
He wants Chloe to reveal that she killed her father Matthew (James Sweeny), not Ari. But Tane won't go against Ari's wishes ? and warns that neither should he.
"Nikau is tortured," Kawakawa tells TV WEEK. "It isn't a pleasant sight, seeing someone you love in an environment like that."
At dinner, Mia (Anna Samson) and Tane try to focus on the wedding, but Nikau isn't interested.
Later, he tells Tane that losing Ari reminds him of his father and he can't handle it. He wants to leave Summer Bay.
"The trauma of already going through this experience is a lot to handle," Kawakawa says.
The following morning, Tane tells Nikau to pack his bags. They're going camping ? but it's no traditional trip.
He then gifts Nikau with a Taiaha, a traditional Māori weapon. It was Nikau's fathers. Tane will teach him to be a warrior and find the guidance he needs.
At the campground, Tane demonstrates the technique. Nikau, however, has no patience and struggles to master it.
Tane urges him to focus, not all is lost. As time goes on, Nikau begins to find the courage and guidance he's been searching for.
"The Taiaha sequence hugely impacts Nikau as it is a significant part of who he is as a person," Kawakawa says.
"Being grounded and reminded of the values that come with it is very empowering and grounds him in a way that he deeply needs."

what wedding?
Mia & Ari. Although Ari is in remand awaiting sentencing, Mia is determined to go ahead with their wedding (in the prison) to show her commitment to him - they got engaged just before the 'murder'. However, we haven't seen Ari at all since he was taken away, so we don't know what his reaction has been/will be to her idea for a wedding...
EDIT: In tonight?s Aust episode it was mentioned that Ari was happy about Mia?s wedding plan (after they all went to visit him in remand, which happened offscreen).
has ari actor left?
As usual, nothing has been officially confirmed as yet. However, there has been strong speculation around for a while that Rob/Ari has left. I think there may have been some pictures around that he posted last year that suggested he was back in NZ, which started the rumours. There has also been a number of stories suggesting that he & the writing staff were at loggerheads because he wasn't happy with the way the character was being written after Mia & Chloe arrived on the scene etc etc. If he has gone, I am not sure whether they got to film his departure. As I mentioned in the last post, we haven't seen him since he was taken to remand & didn't get to see his visit with the family last night. So I wonder if we will see him when sentencing takes place...probably not....
mia and chloe's introduction for ari was bad
Yeah, I had thought this... I am assuming, to increase the mystery over when Chloe will admit what happened... but it's been poorly done, if those previous scenes were Ari's last..

Home and Away: Ari collapses in the middle of his wedding to Mia and Karen continues to stir up drama in Dean's life
Emotions are running high this week as the Parata family grapple with Ari?s cancer diagnosis.

Grab the tissues Home And Away fans ? it could be time to farewell another Summer Bay resident.
Emotions are running high this week as the Parata family grapple with Ari's cancer diagnosis. Now, Ari has decided against the radical surgery that could save his life.
After experiencing sharp stabbing pains in prison, Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) was rushed to hospital with suspected appendicitis.
But what Dr Logan (Harley Bonner) found was of far greater concern: multiple tumours in the abdomen. Ari was facing life in prison, now he faces death.
For Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), the thought of losing his uncle to jail has been almost unbearable. How will he handle losing him forever?
"That's a confronting reality for Nikau and he would do everything in his power to stop that from happening," Kawakawa tells TV WEEK.
While Tane (Ethan Browne) assures Nikau that not all is lost, Mia (Anna Samson) seeks out hope from Dr Logan.
Treatment plans are few and far between for such an aggressive cancer ? except for a radical surgery to remove the tumours. But to her surprise, Ari refuses.
Mia, Tane and Nikau are stunned. Why wouldn't he fight? Ari, however, explains that a life in prison or in a hospital is now a life he wants.
He's ready to leave on his terms. Plus, he's about to marry the love of his life. It's a day of celebration, not commiseration.
Meanwhile at the Parata household, Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) and Bella (Courtney Miller) wait to hear news of the surprise wedding. Felicity reveals that she doesn't feel worthy of being part of the family.
Tane has invited her into sacred ground. Bella listens before explaining just how deeply Tane cares for Felicity ? he may need her now more than ever.
Back at the hospital, Mia and Ari are ready to wed. The entire family is moved by their vows, making them temporarily forget the dire situation they're in.
But just as quickly, their reality comes crashing down when Ari collapses!
Hang in there, Ari!

"I'm gonna miss you."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...i-parata-exit/
Home and Away spoilers follow for Australia-pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Ari Parata actor Rob Kipa-Williams has bid goodbye to the soap following his character's tragic exit storyline.
Airing on Australian screens today (March 7), Ari's final moments came after he was diagnosed with an incredibly rare form of cancer named pseudomyxoma peritonei. Instead of regular and brutal operations, he'd decided to die on his own terms surrounded by family.
Reacting to this devastating turn of events, Kipa-Williams shared some words on Instagram after his character's final scenes aired.
"Thank you to the fans, for all the love and crazy amounts of messages and support. Thank you to all the cast, crew, camera, directors, production, writing, makeup, art department and everyone else in between, that make the wheels spin," he shared.
"This Iconic Ozzie TV show took risks. I'm honoured to have co-created Māori cultural storylines, and will forever be proud of those scenes that made it to screen.. it was true teamwork.. My hope is this opens the door for more diversity.
"Thank you for everything Ariki Wiremu Parata, you taught me a lot. I'm gonna miss you."
https://www.instagram.com/p/CazJeyJp...9-762378764f6d
The star, who has also been seen on-screen battling a deep-sea monster in Jason Statham's The Meg, received loads of love from fans over in the comment section.
"I'm so sad!!! You were amazing on the show! I couldn't stop crying. I wish you all the best!!" one fan wrote, while another added: "The Paratas were the best thing that happened to H&A! You'll be missed Ari."
What a mark he made.

Home and Away fans praise touching haka scene after character death
"Love that you have brought the Maori culture into the show."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...scene-praised/
Home and Away spoilers follow for Australia-pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
In honour of their fallen loved one Ari Parata, the likes of his brother Tane, nephew Nikau and other family members performed a traditional Kiwi haka in Home and Away yesterday (March 10).
This isn't the first time one's been aired in the soap, following 2020's groundbreaking tribute to Mikaere Parata, but the emotions it's conjured within the Home and Away fanbase over in Australia shows just how vital such representation is on screen.
Many viewers took to Twitter to praise the scenes, which will air in April on Channel 5 in the UK.
"Omg @homeandaway so sad. I love that you have brought the Maori culture into the show, it's so respectful and beautiful, got chills when they did the Haka. #HomeAndAway #Maori," wrote one person, while another posted that "everything" about Ari's send-off was "beautiful".
"That Haka was AMAZING. Absolute chills" and "Very powerful episodes of Home and Away tonight. Beautiful to see the Māori culture honoured," read another pair of tweets.
Tane and Nikau actors Ethan Browne and Kawakawa Fox-Reo both discussed their characters' powerful Taiaha scenes earlier this year.
"It's something really important to me and it just feels like I'm helping spread awareness about our culture which feels really nice," said the former.
Fox-Reo shared his pride in the Māori heritage, adding that he wants to explore more of his background.
"That's who I am and that's something I'm really proud of but I'm definitely guilty of not maintaining a certain standard that I know I'm capable of, in terms of the language and the tikanga [customary behaviours]," he said.
"I grew up spending a lot of time at the marae [a sacred place], and I'm always open to learning more."

Can Felicity save him?
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...tane-die-73258
While death and heartbreak are inevitable on Home and Away, it doesn't stop viewers from fearing the worst when it comes to the fate of their favourite characters.
And it seems the latest Summer Bay local to stare death in the face is Tane Parata (Ethan Browne).
In a teaser for Home and Away's explosive upcoming week, Tane is seen fighting for his life in a pool of blood after an armed robbery at Salt.
Tane's devastated girlfriend Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) applies pressure to an apparent gunshot wound on his stomach while frantically calling for help.
The dramatic preview has sent Home and Away fans into a spin, with many concerned Tane will take his last breath.
"Tane is starting to use up his 9 lives? only like 4 left 😮😂" one fan wrote.
The drama unfolds when Mackenzie's (Emily Weir) dealings with PK take a dangerous turn when she finds herself out of money in the illicit poker underworld.
Having declined PK's (Ryan Johnson) indecent proposal to clear her debt in exchange for spending the night with him, Mackenzie is reeling when she realises how close she is to losing everything.
But when Dean (Patrick O'Connor) tells her PK was only lying to get her into bed, an incensed Mackenzie wants only one thing: revenge.
It's not only Mackenzie that PK and his cronies have their eye on though. In the wake of the robbery, Dean is shocked to receive a threat against his son, Jai.
A fearful Dean decides to take matters into his own hands and calls in reinforcements: the River Boys. Just how far will he go to protect his family?
Tune in to Home and Away, Monday to Thursday, 7.00pm on Channel 7 and 7plus.

Tane tries desperately to protect his family
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...ine-tane-74111
In order to get Tex and his thugs off his back and out of his life, Tane will do something he's never done before: work with the police.This week, Tex (Lucas Linehan) sends in a new "employee" to work at the gym. They'll be in charge of the accounts ? which is a front for money laundering.
Tane (Ethan Browne) is helpless to stop it alone, but will do anything to protect his family.
"Tane is extremely protective of the gym, as it's his livelihood ? and, of course, of his family as well," Lucas tells TV WEEK.
"Tex and his gang's presence there threatens both these. And although Tane wants to rip their heads off, he understandably needs to tread carefully."
What Tex doesn't realise is that his girlfriend, policewoman Rose, is already suspicious. After some digging, she realises he's been lying to her and approaches Tane for the truth.
Together, they hatch a plan to stop them ? it'll be risky, but if they succeed, everyone will be safe from their reign of terror.
The following day, Rose keeps up appearances and greets Tex warmly.
"Tex is used to living a double life by this point, but he believes Rose is falling for him," Lucas says. "It's his self-confidence that starts to become his undoing."
Meanwhile, Tane arrives at the bikie headquarters and is grabbed by security immediately. Has he inadvertently created a trap for himself?

Home and Away's Nikau Parata to face a new dilemma over Bella Nixon exit
Is he facing further heartbreak?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...nixon-dilemma/
Home and Away spoilers follow at Australian pace.
Home and Away's Nikau Parata will face a new dilemma over his ex-girlfriend Bella Nixon.
Recent episodes in Australia have seen Nikau cut all ties with Bella, believing that he was protecting her.
When Bella left Summer Bay to work in New York for a few months, she always intended to make a return.
However, when the Parata family and their loved ones were threatened by a dangerous biker gang, Nikau broke up with Bella over the phone so that she wouldn't return and find herself in the danger zone.
Since Nikau made his difficult decision, the biker danger has subsided for his family.
Nikau has struggled without Bella, especially seeing his uncle Tane so happy with Felicity Newman.
In Monday's episode on Channel 7 in Australia, Nikau finally reached breaking point and told Theo Poulos that he was heading to New York to see Bella.
The end-of-episode preview then offered a sneak peek of what's to come, showing that Nikau's impulsive plans won't be supported by Dean Thompson.
Nikau finally confides in Dean about how he only ever broke up with Bella to protect her from the bikies. He now wants to share this information with Bella to see if it makes any difference for their future.
Despite this, Dean thinks that it could be too late for a reunion as Bella is now doing so well in New York.
Dean tells Nikau: "Bella's in a good place, mate. She's finally moving on with her life. If you still want to go to the airport, I'll drive you there myself. But just really think it through first."
Will Nikau have to once again put his own feelings second? It seems likely, with Courtney Miller ? who played Bella ? now a former cast member.
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in September.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7plus.
I've been watching since Neighbours finished, and it's good to read some old spoilers. Helps a lot with the characters.
Thanks Pantherboy!
