Also ahead in Summer Bay, VJ Patterson looks likely to set tongues wagging when he eyes Billie Ashford as a potential love interest.
Billie laughs it off when VJ (Matt Little) makes his feelings clear with some flirty behaviour - but it's not long before someone else notices what's on his mind.
When VJ gets talked into teaching Skye Peters how to surf, he makes a mess of it as he doesn't actually have any experience of teaching people out in the water.
Billie spots that VJ is out of his depth and takes over the reins with Skye - with much better results.

When Skye later sings Billie's praises to VJ, he's quick to agree with her positive assessment of Billie - but accidentally gives the game away over his true feelings in the process.
As Skye calls VJ out over his crush on Billie, he gets embarrassed and tries to deny it - but Skye playfully insists that he can't hide from the truth. Does VJ stand any chance with Billie?

Also ahead in Summer Bay, Leah Patterson-Baker reacts badly when she discovers that her teenage son VJ is dating Billie Ashford.
Leah (Ada Nicodemou) uncovers the romance when she spots VJ and Billie looking cosy on the beach - and it doesn't take long for her to start opposing the unlikely match.
Disapproving of the age gap, Leah encourages VJ (Matt Little) to find a more suitable girlfriend but is horrified when he reveals that they've already slept together.

When VJ confides in Billie (Tessa de Josselin) about the disagreement with his mum, she admits that she can understand why Leah would be worried about the six-year age difference.
Leah later changes tactics by approaching Billie and urging her to break it off, but when Billie stands her ground and assures her that she really likes VJ, will Leah have to back down on this one?

Home and Away's VJ Patterson fears that he's ruined his own wedding later this month, as he wakes up in hospital with some very awkward (and painful!) injuries.
VJ (Matt Little) is currently preparing to marry his older girlfriend Billie Ashford, but the big day is thrown into total jeopardy after his stag night takes a very unexpected turn.
Although VJ is adamant that he doesn't want a wild last night of freedom, he finds himself roped into one anyway when Ash, Mason and Matt all talk him into it.
Clearly getting into the spirit of things after all, VJ enjoys a few drinks too many and ends up foolishly climbing on top of a surf lifesaving buggy... as you do.
Even the boys can see that he's going too far with this one, but they're powerless to help as he ignores their pleas to get down and instead jumps right off the top. Ouch.

The next morning, VJ is horrified to wake up in hospital and find that both of his arms are in casts - forcing Mason (Orpheus Pledger) to reluctantly remind him about what happened the night before.
With VJ left in despair, the big question is how on earth he can marry Billie in this state... and explain himself to his family. Good luck figuring this one out, VJ!

Home and Away's VJ Patterson will face the devastating prospect of losing baby Luc when Ash and Irene both apply for custody.
Australian fans know that VJ has been raising Luc as his own ever since his partner Billie Ashford passed away, but concerns will grow for the newborn's wellbeing when it becomes clear that the teenager is struggling.
Recent scenes over in Oz have even seen VJ lose his temper with Luc – sparking fears that he is simply not up to looking after her on a full-time basis.
Following another angry outburst from VJ, Luc's uncle Ash decided to apply for custody of his niece in a move that devastated the under-pressure teen.
Irene and Leah in Home and Away
And as Ash follows through with his plan in upcoming scenes, life looks set to get even more complicated for VJ when Irene decides to do the same.
After Leah meets with Morag for advice, she realises that VJ's chances of keeping Luc are slim when it becomes clear that the odds are all in Ash's favour.
But as Leah confides in Irene, she is unaware that her friend is also fearing she'll never see her granddaughter again if Ash is granted custody – and later makes a shock announcement of her own.
Viewers know that Irene is Luc's biological granddaughter after her unhinged son Mike raped Billie and left her pregnant, and she will decide to fight Ash and VJ for full time custody of the tot.
TV Week reports that Irene's announcement will leave Leah feeling desperately betrayed, and the two women are soon coming to blows... but who will get custody of Luc? And does this have the ability to divide Summer Bay forever?

Home and Away's VJ Patterson starts to question his parenting skills next month as he struggles to take care of baby Luc in emotional scenes.
VJ (Matt Little) has vowed to keep his promise to his late wife Billie Ashford by giving her young daughter the upbringing she deserves, but he's quickly discovering that juggling fatherhood with his studies isn't easy.
To make matters even worse, VJ is stung when he notices just how effortlessly Irene Roberts seems to deal with Luc while performing her grandmotherly duties.
Hitting a particularly low point during a moment alone with the baby, VJ loses control and shakes Luc's cot when she won't stop crying, angrily yelling at her to "shut up".
VJ knows he can't keep this frightening incident to himself and later admits to his mum Leah that he lost his temper with Luc, adding that he's not coping well at all with his new responsibilities.
As Leah seems to be in denial about the situation, VJ also turns to Irene for support and she quickly comes up with a drastic solution, telling the Pattersons that she's willing to take on responsibility of Luc permanently.
With Leah furious over Irene's suggestion, could the old friends be heading for a huge fall-out?
