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?

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 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 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?

Home and Away: Can Tane stop Nikau from leaving Summer Bay amid their family's dark secret?
The Parata boys are barely holding it together this week as Ari waits for his sentencing hearing.

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).
