They should have and could have hired a better actor. He?s awful - and I?m talking about his craft, not the way his character is written.

I completely agree

Home and Away's Theo stands up to his father following years of abuse: "Get out of my life!"
''All his frustration and hatred comes out.''

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...-dimitri-71722

The shocking truth about Dimitri's past lands with a thump ? literally ? this week when Theo aims a flying punch at his estranged father.

In tense scenes in Home And Away, Dimitri (Salvatore Coco) arrives in Summer Bay with one goal in mind: taking Theo (Matt Evans) home.

Theo's aunt Leah (Ada Nicodemou) orchestrated the surprise visit, hoping to reconcile father and son.

But she doesn't know the grim reasons for their estrangement ? Dimitri has a history of abuse and, when his aggression became too much for Theo, the teen fled to the Bay.

Will he tell his aunt the truth?

"Theo was a victim of both physical and mental manipulation from a young age," Matt 25, tells TV WEEK. "The physical abuse started when he was 14. When his father didn't get his way, he would lose his temper."

Dimitri assures Leah he's there to make amends, but his behaviour suggests otherwise. He orders Theo to pack his bags, before accusing Leah of meddling in his family business.

He also implies that she was the reason Theo's mother asked him for a divorce.

Later at the Surf Club, Dimitri meets John (Shane Withington) ? the only one Theo has confided in about his dad. Their brittle encounter leaves Leah and Justin (James Stewart) perplexed and wanting to know the truth.

Sensing John knows more than he's letting on, Dimitri probes for information. John remains cordial in answering questions about Theo's time in the Bay ? but makes a not-so subtle mention of his troubled upbringing.

When John brings up Theo's community service, Dimitri snaps.

Elsewhere, Theo is momentarily distracted after spending the night with Chloe (Sam Barrett). Giddy with hope, he suggests they go out on a date, but is taken aback when she appears uninterested and implies that their night together was a mistake.

Hurt and confused by the interaction, Theo decides to walk off his feelings on the beach when he comes across Dimitri having words with Justin and Leah. His anger boils over and he charges at his father, striking him.

"This [Chloe's rejection] is a massive part of Theo punching his father," Matt explains.

"All his frustration and hatred comes out when he gets used by Chloe, as he really had feelings for her. It tips him over the edge."

Home and Away ties up loose end from Theo and Dimitri storyline
Dimitri's sentence is revealed.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...tri-loose-end/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Tuesday's Australian episode (May 3), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has revealed the outcome of Theo Poulos reporting his father Dimitri for his abusive behaviour.

A big storyline this year has seen Theo bravely open up over his traumatic past, explaining that Dimitri was violent towards him when he was growing up.

Recent episodes in Australia saw this story come to a head as Dimitri paid a visit to Summer Bay and violently attacked Justin Morgan.

When this became a police matter, Theo told the authorities that it wasn't the first time that Dimitri had lost his temper like this. He then gave an official statement about the abuse he experienced as a child.

In Tuesday's episode on Channel 7 (May 3), Leah Patterson revealed that Dimitri had finally faced the consequences and been sentenced in court.

During a shift at the Diner, Leah told Irene Roberts: "Dimitri got a good behaviour bond for two years, plus he has to attend an anger management course.

"Hopefully it will help Theo to move on."

Unfortunately, Theo immediately faced another upsetting setback when he learned that he'd failed his first TAFE (Technical and Further Education) assignment.

Theo is currently undertaking a mechanic's apprenticeship, but made an early mistake by not handing in his first assignment on time.

Theo's colleague Ziggy Astoni and friend Ryder Jackson were both supportive, pointing out how much pressure he has been under recently.

Despite this, a disheartened Theo admitted that he was ready to throw in the towel and walk away from the training altogether. Can his loved ones talk him around?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in June.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm 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.

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers.

Home and Away star Matt Evans showcased his singing abilities as his character Theo Poulos continues his attempts to win over Chloe Anderson (Sam Barrett).

Shared via the official Home and Away Instagram account, the clip shows the two sharing a picnic together as Theo continues to grow closer to his on-off love interest Chloe.

In scenes that will air in the UK next month, Theo picks up a guitar he's borrowed from Justin, with Chloe admitting she wasn't aware he could play the instrument before asking him to play her a song.

He begins to play and sing a heartfelt number while Chloe watches on smiling, unable to hide that she's impressed.

Theo's singing abilities shouldn't come as a surprise to Home and Away fans, considering that, before joining the show, Evans was better known in Australia as a musician.

He competed on the 2020 series of The Voice Australia before joining the soap a year later in his first-ever acting role.

However, things are currently not going smoothly for the pair's budding relationship. Upcoming episodes airing in the UK will see Chloe decide to prioritise her manipulation of her friend Bella instead of pursuing a relationship with Theo.

This is not the only drama for Theo either, as viewers will see the fallout after Theo's abusive father Dimitri came to the Bay.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm 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.

Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

This week, Kirby (Angelina Thomson) invites Theo (Matt Evans) to come over for dinner to debrief with Remi (Adam Rowland) and Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) about the band, Lyrik. The songwriter believes Theo could be the key to breaking into the music industry, even if he's not so convinced himself.

Theo arrives for dinner and is surprised to find Kirby alone. Remi and Eden declined the meal and headed out to a party instead. Despite not knowing each other that well, they find common ground and hit it off.

"The band took on the stressful job of finding a new lead singer [after Bob, played by Rob Mallett, left] and were taken aback when Theo walked through the door," Angelina tells TV WEEK.

"Kirby and Theo's mutual passion for music is a deep connection."

Soon, night turns to morning. They've spent the whole night writing songs and jamming. At home, Justin (James Stewart) panics. Where is Theo?

After months of turmoil, Theo has landed his dream job as the lead singer in a band. Now, he's chasing his dream girl: Kirby.

But in the wake of former frontman Bob's (Rob Mallett) departure, Lyrik have brought in a strict new rule: band members can't date one another. Will Theo (Matt Evans) risk it all for love?

The band is ecstatic and drag in Justin for celebratory drinks. Soon, word spreads and the backyard becomes a party. Tane (Ethan Browne) and Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) soak up a carefree afternoon. Having had a brush with death during the police raid on the bikie headquarters in recent episodes, they're ready to focus on a future ? together. For actors Ethan and Jacqui, the chemistry on screen is very important.

"Jacqui and I get on super-well and we have fun on set. We constantly take the mickey out of each other," Ethan tells TV WEEK. "We both try to find the truth in our scenes, and I think because we get along so well, it reads on screen."

Meanwhile, Leah (Ada Nicodemou) arrives to find Justin serenading the crowd. Giddy with delight, the couple decide to take their romance to Salt.

Also swept up is Theo, who steals a kiss from Kirby (Angelina Thomson). But the pair are busted by Remi, who's looking for drinks. Kirby insists their relationship has to be a secret ? it could wreck the band.

Theo agrees for now, but the following day tries his luck again. Kirby stands firm: the band comes first. Can a wounded Theo handle keeping their relationship under wraps?

Home and Away's Theo Poulos in secret passion with show newcomer
But was it just a one-off?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...kirby-passion/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Monday's Australian episode (August 22), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has kicked off a secret romance storyline for Theo Poulos in the show's latest Australian episode.

Theo's girlfriend Chloe Anderson recently left Summer Bay for her own safety amid the gang danger faced by the Parata family.

With Theo single again, recent episodes have seen him grow closer to fellow Lyrik member Kirby Aramoana.

Sadly, any chances of a relationship were scuppered when the rest of Lyrik found out and immediately banned hook-ups between band members. This was partly because Kirby's previous relationship with departed lead singer Bob had caused problems.

In Monday's episode on Channel 7, life for Lyrik continued to look up as Justin Morgan presented them with a brand new van.

This would allow the group to easily travel to paid gigs and ultimately sort out their precarious financial situation.

As Theo celebrated with the others at a party, he shared a secret kiss with Kirby during a moment alone.

Aware that Justin and Leah Patterson were out, Theo later took Kirby home and spent the night with her.

The next day, Theo faced the tricky task of sneaking Kirby out of the house without Justin and Leah knowing.

This became even more complicated when Lyrik's guitarist Remi Carter arrived unexpectedly, nearly catching out Theo and Kirby.

Later, Kirby warned Theo that the morning's mishaps had been too close for comfort.

Kirby explained: "Last night was fun, but that can't happen again. We swore to the others that we wouldn't get involved. We can't risk it, I'm sorry."

Could Theo and Kirby's relationship be over before it has even begun?

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.

Home and Away airs outcome of Theo Poulos's secret romance storyline
Are things finally on the right track?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...mance-outcome/

Home and Away spoilers follow from recent Australian episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has hinted at a happy ending for Theo Poulos and Kirby Aramoana after their secret romance storyline.

Recent episodes in Australia have seen Theo pursue a relationship with his Lyrik bandmate after splitting from Chloe Anderson, who has left Summer Bay for good.

Theo and Kirby were forced to hide their romance after their fellow Lyrik members Eden Fowler and Remi Carter stepped in to ban hook-ups within the group.

Eden and Remi feared a repeat of Kirby's previous relationship with Bob Forsyth, which had caused tensions for Lyrik before he quit the band altogether.

In this week's Australian episodes, Kirby realised that she was in danger of losing Theo due to the pressure of keeping their romance under wraps.

Kirby crossed a line by encouraging Theo to kiss a stranger to throw Remi off the track of their relationship.

Theo wasn't impressed with the game-playing and questioned whether he could keep seeing Kirby under these difficult circumstances.

Kirby soon took matters into her own hands by kissing Theo in front of Eden and Remi, wanting everything out in the open.

Although surprised, Eden and Remi also saw how much Kirby had been struggling with the threat of losing Theo.

The pair decided to drop their ban on romance and gave Theo and Kirby their blessing to be together.

Although Eden and Remi could foresee problems if Theo and Kirby ever broke up, the new couple assured them that this wouldn't happen.

Have Theo and Kirby finally secured their happy ending after their recent splits from Chloe and Bob?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in October.

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.

Home and Away hints at shock new story for Theo Poulos
Kirby is uneasy over Theo's dedicated fan.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...o-shock-story/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has hinted at a possible stalker storyline for Theo Poulos.

The talented musician has built up a strong fanbase in recent months after taking over from Bob Forsyth as the lead singer of four-piece band Lyrik.

Recent episodes have suggested that one of Theo's online followers is starting to get too attached.

Earlier this month, Theo complained that a fan was bombarding him with too many messages.

Monday's episode in Australia (January 23) saw things go a step further as Theo received an unexpected delivery through the mail.

Theo's superfan had produced a huge portrait of him as a gift and had sent it to the garage where he works.

This came shortly after Theo had announced that Lyrik were taking a break. Although he kept the details vague, the group are cancelling gigs as Eden Fowler remains unconscious in hospital following Summer Bay's recent road crash disaster.

A note from the fan read: "Saw your post about Lyrik, hope this cheers you up."

While Theo was touched by the big effort that his supporter had gone to, his girlfriend Kirby Aramoana seemed uneasy and questioned how this stranger knew the address of the garage.

The official press billing for this episode reads: "Theo may have a stalker on his hands."

Matt Evans, who plays Theo, also recently told The Morning Show that "some intense fans [of Theo's] come along and he has to navigate around some fan culture".

In real life, Matt is releasing a new single called 'Over It', written about a past relationship.

He recently revealed that he'd recruited some of his Home and Away co-stars to make cameos in the video for the song.

Prior to his role in Home and Away, Matt competed on the ninth season of The Voice Australia in 2020.

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.
