On With The Showdown! Relationships Are Put To The Test. Love dramas rock Summer Bay this week. Shocked fans will be left wondering whether their favourite characters' relationships will survive the turmoil or be left in tatters. Two characters will get into a vicious brawl. And, once again, the Morgans are in the thick of the action. They're dealing with the ramifications of having their secret past in witness protection now exposed to the public. Some of your favourites are in for a bumpy ride....

Has Tori lost Nate? There's ho hiding now - the Morgan family's witness protection past, & their involvement with the drug syndicate - is splashed across the front page of the Coastal News newspaper. Some locals aren't taking the news too well - Brody's restaurant, Salt, is spraypainted with the words "drug scum". Before Tori can tell Nate the truth, he's at her front door, newspaper in hand. Tori apologises, but it is clear he's struggling to process his girlfriend's shock past. Their discussion gets fiery as he wonders if he knows Tori at all. She begs Nate to give her a chance - she's the same woman he fell in love with. But, Nate has heard enough. His memories of what happened with Ricky - and how she left him for Brax - are still fresh in his mind. He tells Tori he can't be with someone who doesn't trust him. Has the doctors' relationship really flatlined? "This is a pretty big speedbump in the road for Tori & Nate," Penny McNamee, 32, says. "Whether or not they survive this is going to be up to Nate."

All Fired Up. Matt & Evie's fledgling relationship comes under fire this week - literally! The young lovers are kissing at the garage when Evie smells smoke. They check outside & see several oil drums alight. Who could have started the mystery blaze? Matt swings into action, grabbing a fire extinguisher & telling Evie to call the fire brigade. Later, after a close call at the garage, Matt shows up to take Evie to the formal. At the dance a smitten Matt declares his love, only for Evie to flee the formal. Does she love Matt?

Justin & Phoebe's Big Test. What's the deal with Justin & Phoebe? Every time they seem to be forging a relationship, something drives them apart. In the past, it has been the Morgan family secret. This week, Justin is shaken at having seen Ava, the daughter he had to give up when he went into witness protection. He shows up at Phoebe's door & breaks down in tears. Ava's mum has banned him from seeing Ava forever. Will Justin's dramas concerning his daughter complicate his romance with Phoebe?
Heads-up! Ex McLeod's Daughters star Zoe Naylor will make a splash in Summer Bay in coming episodes. She will play Nina, Justin's ex & Ava's mother.

Olivia's Romance Dilemma. Olivia (Raechelle Banno) has broken up with Hunter (Scott Lee), but these two still have very real feelings for each other. Complicating things is the fact Mason has shown an interest in Olivia & she can't help but feel drawn to him. This week, Olivia asks Mason to be her date at the formal. He says he'd be delighted to go, as long as it won't be a problem with Hunter. She assures Mason they're both moving on with their lives. "For Olivia, there's a curiosity when it comes to Mason," Raechelle, 23, says. However, when Hunter shows up at the formal, two things are obvious: he's not over his ex & Olivia still loves him. It's Evie who brings up the fact a drunken Hunter professed his love for Olivia at schoolies the week before," Raechelle explains. "It's a lot for Olivia to process." When Mason bumps into Hunter at the beach the next day, he has a dig at him for still carrying a torch for Olivia. Tensions boil over & Mason throws a punch. When Olivia hears of it, she's surprised at who instigated the clash. Are things over for her & Mason before they even began?

Stalker In The Bay! Another couple in crisis, Heath & Bianca, really want to get their struggling relationship back on track. Heath makes plans to go on a holiday away from the Bay. But, as he prepares for the big trip, a mysterious figure watches & follows him....

Hi TaintedLove. The current understanding is that Home & Away will return in Aust on Monday 30th January 2017 (straight after the Aust Open Tennis), however this will be confirmed officially closer to the time. Cheers.

Thanks so much Pantherboy. Argh I can`t believe I called you Parkerman....so sorry - I had a senior moment. Mind you it was late at night when I asked.
:o

I`m surprised that Neighbours finished earlier than H&A. Usually it`s the other way around isn`t it?

Nice to know you can't get me out of your mind, Tainted Love. :D

No worries TaintedLove, & no need to say sorry for confusing me with the esteemed Parkerman!!!

(PS Home and Away is finishing so late this year basically due to the 2 weeks it was off air when the Olympics was on)

She does, but not who raped her. He decideds to stick by her despite it, but then ash over hears then talking.

Of course!!! You`re absolutely right Pantherboy. How could I have forgotten the abysmal way soap fans have been treated this year because of the Olympics. It was absolutely shameful the disregard the networks have shown us. And it`s just not Australian tv, but the BBC also. What with the Olympics, football and Wimbledon, Doctors hardly got a look in this past summer. At least with H&A we had catch up episodes. We didn`t get that with Doctors. Shame on you BBC.
You would think that with all the channels that are available now as well as online streaming that soap fans could`ve been shown a bit more consideration as not everyone likes sports. It was disgraceful how we are forgotten about when the big money started rolling in. I`m just glad it`s every four years with the Olympics and not every year.
Oops sorry, I didn`t mean to make my post one big rant.

I did think Billie might have told VJ the truth about the baby during the last episode of the season at UK pace.

They got back together and swore to tell each other the truth from now on. The next scene in which we saw them, they were together and happy in the diner, but I noticed VJ give Nate a strange look. I wondered if that was because Billie had told him the truth off screen and VJ is aware that Nate also knows?

She calls of the wedding and then tells him.

Yes she called off the wedding during the episode I mentioned above. Did she tell him off screen?

On screen. I can't remember the look, so can't help there I'm afraid.

Thanks, VJ definitely doesn't know yet at UK pace then.

More developments on this in last nights Aust episode:

AUST PACE!!

Ash worked out that Phoebe already knew about the rape. Phoebe realises that Ash now knows about the rape, but doesn't know who the rapist was. She is seemingly just about to tell him it was Mick, when Billie comes along & cuts her off before she says anything. Later on, Billie confirms to Phoebe that Mick, & not VJ, is the baby's father etc. She also asks Phoebe not to tell Ash that it was Mick. When Phoebe asks her about Irene & Leah, Billie says that they can't know either...for the baby's sake (remember that earlier this year Billie confirmed to Phoebe that Mick was her rapist, after she recognised his tattoo. But, when Phoebe asked her if Mick was the baby's father, Billie insisted that it was VJ, so Phoebe dropped it at that time).

So, now we have the situation where VJ & Ash know that Billie was raped & that VJ is not the father, but not who the rapist was (but the spoilers & previews suggest that Ash will continue to try & find out who he is). Phoebe knows that Billie was raped & that Mick is the father. While both Leah & Irene are none the wiser! The plot thickens!

The Billie/VJ/baby storyline has turned into a compelling one in a way I couldn't have imagined when I first read about it. That's mostly down to Billie in my opinion: Tessa de Josselin is a very good actress and has a vulnerability about her that manages to keep Billie sympathetic despite the fact that she's lying to some of our favourite H&A characters.

TV Week Soap Diary for Home and Away (Aus) season finale 19th December 2016:

Monday 19th Dec

- Tori is kidnapped by a mystery man.
- How will Billie react when she learns Mick is about to be released from the psychiatric hospital?
- Hunter grows jealous when he sees Mason & Olivia hanging out together.
- Justin tells Phoebe that Nina has agreed to let him see his daughter, Ava.
- Evie announces the start of the Summer Grooves festival. Who's the special guest?
- Ash decides to leave town for a while.
- While VJ & Billie argue, her waters suddenly break!
- A bushfire threatens everyone at the music festival.

TV Week also has the following:

All Fired Up! Who Will Survive A Blaze At The Summer Bay Music Festival?

The lives of Summer Bay favourites are on the line when a ferocious bush fire bears down on the town in Home and Away. And, the first ones in the firing line in this week's heart-stopping season finale are the people at the Summer Grooves music festival. The blaze is the work of a serial arsonist responsible for a spate of recent fires in the Bay. The identity of the arsonist is yet to be revealed - is it someone we know? And, as the fire gets closer, whose lives are in danger? Let's take a look at where we find the characters of Home and Away this week....

Kat. The police senior constable has had her hands full with a string of fires in the Bay in recent weeks. A blaze outside Ash's garage raised questions of an attempted insurance fraud - and he was hauled in for questioning. However, more fires - including a dangerous one in the caravan park last week - point to an arsonist. Kat is struggling to find a link between the fires. Now, the townsfolk are pressuring her for answers. At the beach, Alf & John stop Kat while she's jogging. They quiz her about what police are doing. She tells them she's hoping the forensics department will be able to come up with answers soon. Kat later questions Evie & Phoebe about the caravan park fire. But, they have little that may help. This leaves Kat to look over photos & the scant evidence police have. Then, we flash to a dark figure heading towards the festival. He's holding a lighter & cans of petrol. This is certainly an ominous sign.....

Evie. At the start of the week, Evie is hard at work making final arrangements for Summer Grooves in the Bay. She questions Phoebe about organising stagehands for the festival. However, Phoebe declares she's been busy writing a song to perform at the festival. When Justin learns of her impending workload, he decides to lend a hand. A flustered Evie & Matt de-stress at The Diner. The past few weeks have been difficult for Evie. She's had to deal with the arrest of her ex-fiancé, Josh, who was on the run from police. And, she's moved on with her friend, Matt. The fledgling relationship faltered, as Evie was unsure of her feelings. But, at last week's school formal, Evie & Matt came together. After putting the finishing touches to arrangements for the festival, it's finally time to launch Summer Grooves. As Evie introduces the festival's special guest, little does she know an arsonist is lurking nearby, threatening to ruin everything.

Phoebe. Like Evie, her personal life of late has been nothing short of tumultuous. Phoebe & Justin were on, then they were off. The Morgan family's secret seemed to prevent Justin from wanting to get in too deep with Phoebe. With their witness-protection past now out in the open, Justin is free to move ahead with Phoebe. This week they celebrate as the electricity for the festival is turned on. The place lights up like a rockin' Christmas tree. An emotional Justin tells Phoebe he loves her & won't let her down again. It's time he proved it. Phoebe asks him to ensure he's at the festival when she sings the song she's been writing. Later, a frazzled Phoebe tells Evie she isn't ready to go on stage to sing. But, a fuming Evie tells her the next act is running late & she has to get up there. It's Matt who assures Evie he has a plan to fix things. Will Phoebe throw away a chance to perform?

Olivia, Hunter & Mason. Teenagers Olivia & Hunter ended their romance weeks ago. She appeared to have moved on with Mason. But, Olivia & Hunter have lingering feelings for each other. He gazes longingly at his ex the day before the music festival. "He tells Olivia he's not going to stand in her way." Scott Lee, 23, explains. Olivia is in a spot when both Hunter & Mason approach her at the festival. Who does she want to be with? Perhaps Olivia has made up her mind when she locks lips with Mason on the dance floor. This surely means the chances of Hunter & Olivia getting back together are pretty slim. "Hunter sees Olivia & Mason kissing, which is a bit of a slap in the face," Scott reveals. "He goes off sulking."

Marilyn & John. This couple hasn't had an easy time. John's head injury has caused him to act irrationally. Marilyn was understandably verry worried about her husband's health. Putting those concerns behind them, Marilyn is excited about her tarot-card reading stall at the festival. John & Alf are concerned no-one will be interested in Marilyn's stall. But, their fears pale when compared to what's in store for festival-goers. Fire is about to tear through the bush surrounding the event, surely trapping everybody.

Jess For Kicks. Look Who's Singing At Summer Grooves. Aussie songstress Jessica Mauboy is in Home and Away! The singer & actress - the star of hit TV series The Secret Daughter - has a cameo in this week's season finale. Jessica plays herself, the special guest at the Summer Grooves music festival. Of course, she's not the only singer to cameo in H&A. In 2015, British music star Ed Sheeran dropped in. And, this year, Samantha Jade played Kyle Braxton's girlfriend, Isla Schultz. Samantha is set to reprise her role in upcoming telemovie Home and Away: All or Nothing.

Well, we had the triple episode season finale in Australia last night, so..

Aust Pace!

Justin is stabbed while trying to save Tori from the bad guys (see the article Perdita posted on the Morgan family thread). Irene's son, Mick, is back & is last seen lurking around Irene's house. Billie has a panic attack when she finds out Mick has been released, which leads to VJ working out Mick was her attacker & is the baby's father. Billie finally tells him the whole story, but then her waters break. On the way to the hospital their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere (in true soapie tradition!), & we see Billie start having contractions by the side of the road. And, the serial arsonist is revealed - I must say I had my suspicions without really being sure, but it was still a bit of a shock to see their face! The bushfire they start, as per the promos/spoilers, won't be seen till the new year. So, we have to wait till 2017 to see how it all unfolds!



(After the finale, I watched the special Home and Away: Revenge on (the soon to be defunct) Presto. It was ok, but I must say I enjoyed last years special An Eye For An Eye better. The end of Revenge leads into the 2nd special which will be aired in late January.)

The culprit was a shock, but I think I know why they are doing it .
