Andy and Josh Barrett

[Pantherboy]

Why does Josh start taking or selling drugs?

He buys the drugs off a guy he met at the university open day, because he was having trouble studying for his trial HSC exams & wanted something to help him stay awake (to study)

Andy & Josh Barrett the two most dullest & boring characters on the show along with Evie, Oscar, Hannah & Matt. The sooner these all leave the better. Non of them have any personality whatsoever.

I agree with some of these, but I don't think most viewers would accuse Matt of not having any personality - although the writing for him's admittedly been a bit boring recently.

I don't know why his drinking and robbing the ATM wasn't made into a much bigger storyline. Most of it happened offscreen which I find totally bizarre. He now seems recovered with no long-term consequences whatsoever on the character...

Home and Away teen Josh Barrett will be left fighting for his life after he rescues his former girlfriend Evie MacGuire from Tank's dangerous clutches.

Evie's controversial new romance with Tank has raised concern among those closest to her, but their fears increase in upcoming episodes when she decides to run away with him.

However, once away from the Bay, Evie starts to see Tank's true colours when he refuses to let her contact her family and attempts to lock her in a shack.

Knowing she needs help, Evie reaches out to Josh before attempting to escape, but a determined Tank refuses to give up without a fight and chases her.

Although Josh turns up in time and manages to get Evie home to safety, it soon becomes apparent that the trouble is only just beginning when a furious Tank returns to her house.

As Josh prepares to confront the troublemaker, Tank emerges from behind him and delivers a coward punch, causing Josh to fall to the floor and smash his head on the ground.

In a a tragic twist of events, Josh isn't discovered until the following morning, but despite being rushed into hospital, his outlook looks increasingly bleak. Will Josh pull through?

Jackson Gallagher, who plays Josh, said to TV Week: "Tank comes from behind and catches Josh off-guard. He coward punches him.

"Josh could die. He is in a coma on life support. It appears he is brain dead - there is a real chance this could be the end."
