@Red Ranger 1can i say for a start that your write ups are iconic, i love them. im also very surprised with who been in the poll so far as some people i didnt expect to see. glad Michael was low as i didnt like him and at least Tom will be higher them him.

what date will the results start to be revealed?

Omg very excited to see which characters made the cut, still hoping that one of these days a Most Popular Couple poll will happen.

So I was thinking about ways to bring past characters back for a storyline and I would for Irene birthday which would also have a disaster such a bus crush and people going missing. I gave myself the task of choosing 12 individual characters, three endgame couples and two non endgame ones to come back here's who I chose and why. Individual 1- Jasmine Delaney she would come back after hearing about the birthday from Leah and also to see Cash and explain that she got kidnapped by Robbo parents which leads to Jas/Cash endgame. 2- Colleen Smart- As Morag and Lance can't make it and Irene like family to her family, Colleen comes back in her place. Colleen will reference how the characters are going and why they couldn't attend 3- Martin Dibble- This actually be an opportunity to bring him back as a main character, he would end up heading the ses search from the bus crush. 4- Olivia Fraser- Irene was like a mother to her so would come back to celebrate with her and would announce that her and Hunter reunited and she's pregnant with their first child. 5- Bella Nixon- Bella would come back as the organise photographer for the party and to thank Irene for all she did. She would also catch up with Mackenzie and Tane as well as meet Levi and Abi, Abi who she would connect due to their pasts, she would mention that Nikau is now working as a pool lifeguard. 6- April Scott- April would come back and reference that Dex was visiting Sid and would be the head doctor for the disaster zone. As well as there to celebrate with Irene referring that Bianca and Heath are on an around the world trip with their kids and had caught up with Liam. 7- Miles Copeland- Miles would come back on behalf of himself and Sally, his main reason would be to check up on Leah after a few worrying calls from her but to also celebrate with Irene, Miles would be with Leah allot which would make Justin jealous leading to Leah and Miles going on the bus and having some moments. 8- Geoff Campbell- Geoff would come back to the bay for Irene celebration, he would reference that him and Ruby were back together after her prison experience and is no longer a paster, he updates Irene and Alf on Annie saying her and Jai got married. Geoff would also be part of the ses. 9- Aden Jefferies- Aden would come back as Irene helped him and Belle allot, He would come back for the celebrations and helps Bree through her trauma. 10- Kane Phillps- Kane would come back as Irene was the only person who gave him a chance so wants to be there to support her big day. Would reference to Miles that Kirsty doing well and that they are back together. Kane would help out Martin and Geoff on SES. 11- Hayley Lawson- Hayley would come back on behalf of her Nick and Will, she would reference how they are and apologise to Alf for what Will did but confirms he's out of Jail. Hayley would reveal her and Scott have had a second child named Beth. Hayley would stay for a while to help out Irene and reconnect with Leah. 12- Don Fisher- What celebrate would it be without Don, he would come back to celebrate with Irene and Co, reconnecting with old residents while also meeting John who is frosty towards him and also meeting Abi who he makes a major impact on. Endgame Couples 1- Steven and Selina- Irene was a big part of there life and their relationship, they would come back to celebrate with her, they would reveal that they got married in 2010 and now foster three kids. Steven would also discover his long lost Nieces Harper and Dana Matheson through meeting Dana when first arriving at Irene's. 2- Dean and Ziggy- Dean uses it as an opportunity to reunite with Mack and Bella who he fondly misses, he also helps out with the board shop and ses. Ziggy meanwhile is there for Bree and updates everyone on her family, Coco is now dating Vj after the pair reconnected, Ben and Maggie are doing well in Paris. 3- Tasha and Robbie- Tasha and Robbie are there as Irene made the biggest impact on Tasha. They bring Ella along who becomes a main and also inform they had another kid. Tasha ended up studying and becoming a social worker following in Flynns footsteps. Tasha also informed Irene that Josie was doing well and is now married. Non endgame couples. Carly and Matt- Both would come back after hearing about the event wanting to visit and support Irene, not realising the other would be attending after Steven set up after hearing about both of their marriage breakdowns which would lead them to reconnecting when they thought Carly was dying in the bus crush Matt would confess his feeling and they would get back together. Jade and Seb- Both would come back at different times. Seb would arrive with Don and Jade a few days later. It would reveal that Seb learnt to walk again from a trial and the two would talked about their missed chances and get back together just before disaster strikes. Jade would also reference that Dani is married, and Rhys and Shelley are doing well. Bonus return is Paris who would come back for Irene and as a main character as him and Irene would be endgame. Which storyline would you all do and who would you bring back?

Been watching the early years allot recently, it's definitely written better them the current show. The couples are written so much better from 1988 to about 2008. Some things I realised watching this time around Shane and Angel are actually quite toxic together and they aren't suited, he had more chemistry with Shannon and they would of been a better couple and Angel was with Simon. The more and more I watch the more I hate Michael and hate how he was written in, they moved Pippa on with him in such a rush and sometimes it honestly felt like Michael was forcing her into things when she didn't want to, a key example was when she broke up with him and he forced her to get back together and engaged. Tom and Pippa will always be endgame for me. Nev and Floss were robbed they deserved better and should of been in the show longer, I do love that Floss came back in later years. Ben was toxic and high key an abusive partner to Carly, like I have so many alarm bells about that relationship. How the hell they ended up together and stayed together I have no idea particularly when Ben treated Carly like crap. Carly should of ended up with Matt, would been a better exit for them both.

Chapter 7 Sally glanced over at Jesse, who had already made himself at home, which made her smile. It felt just like old times, and that was a comforting feeling. "What are you thinking about?" Jesse asked curiously, shifting closer as Sally lay down, resting her head on his knee. "How much this feels like old times—just you and me living together again." Sally smiled as she spoke, her mind filling with memories of their past. "It really does, doesn't it?" Jesse returned her smile, then added, "So, tell me, what's the deal with that guy from the beach earlier?" He wasn't sure, but he had a feeling the guy had a crush on Sally—though she seemed oblivious to it. "There’s nothing to tell. I literally met him today. He just started at the drop-in center with Shelley." Sally shrugged. Jesse nodded, keeping his thoughts to himself. Maybe he was overthinking it. After all, they’d only just met that day, but Jesse had a habit of going into protective overdrive when it came to Sally. "Alright, how about we just stay in, order takeout, and watch some movies tonight?" Jesse suggested. Truthfully, after missing out on such simple pleasures while in jail, it was something he’d been looking forward to. "That sounds perfect to me." Sally smiled, making herself comfortable as she grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. Meanwhile Will knocked on the Sutherland's door, he knew it was late but he was worried about Jade after what his brother had done to her and he also wanted to find an excuse to see Dani. He just hoped someone was awake and would answer. A few seconds late the door opened and Jade appeared, looking more broken them earlier which Will couldn't help but blame himself for, he should of taught Nick to know better. "Jade I'm sorry for what my idiot brother did." Will had guilt all over his face because his brother caused her pain. Will wishes Nick hadn't done this, he wishes Nick handled it all differently, he ruined Jade's life and no doubt torn her and her sister apart. "I'm guessing you here to see Dani." Jade didn't want to talk about Nick, even hearing his name was enough to make her feel sick right now. "Yes i am, is she around?" Jade nods as she points outside and Will smiles, thanking her before heading in that direction. As Will stepped onto the porch, he spotted Dani sitting there and smiled. Without hesitation, he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Hey, you," he said softly, smiling. Dani turned around, stood up, and hugged him tightly, which he immediately returned. "Hey," Dani whispered, clinging to Will as if her life depended on it. "What did your stupid brother have to say for himself?" She wanted to know if Nick felt any guilt at all. To her, it was clear Kirsty didn’t, so she hoped at least one of them would show some remorse for what they’d done. "Not much. He thinks he did nothing wrong. God, he makes me so angry," Will replied, shaking his head. He couldn’t believe the pain his brother was causing. Seeing Jade so hurt only fueled his anger toward Nick. "I can’t believe he doesn’t see what he’s done to the people he was supposed to care about," Will added, his voice tight with frustration but kept low so as not to wake the rest of Dani’s family. "Well, Kirsty doesn’t think she’s done anything wrong either, so they’re just as stupid as each other," Dani muttered as she pulled away from Will’s arms and sat back down in her chair. "I think we can both agree our siblings are complete idiots," Will said, earning a nod from Dani, who couldn’t think of a more accurate statement. "And how are you doing?" Will asked, concerned for Dani too. He knew Jade wasn’t the only one struggling. "I can’t focus on that right now. Jade is who I need to worry about," Dani replied, her voice soft but firm. Her sister’s well-being was her priority, and she didn’t see her own problems as important right now. "Well, just remember, I’m always here if you want to talk, Dani. Anytime, day or night—you can call me, and I’ll have my phone on." Will meant every word. He cared deeply about Dani and wanted to be there for her more than anything. "Thank you," Dani said, smiling as Will sat beside her. The two sat in comfortable silence, simply enjoying each other’s company. Gypsy spotted Noah standing alone at the pier, leaning against the railing and staring out at the dark ocean. The cool night air brushed against her skin as she quietly approached him, unsure of how to start. When she reached him, Noah glanced over, his expression tense but weary. “Irene told me what happened,” Gypsy began softly, her voice carrying over the quiet lapping of the waves. “I’m really sorry, Noah. I know how much it hurts to lose the person you care about most in the world.” Noah clenched his jaw, his hands tightening around the railing. “Yeah, it does. I can’t even imagine my life without Hayley. I won’t give up on her—I can’t,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper, as if saying it out loud made it even harder to bear. Gypsy nodded in understanding, her eyes full of empathy. “If you love someone, you tell them. You fight for them,” she said softly, her words meant to offer comfort. Noah gave her a slight nod, acknowledging her advice. For a moment, the two of them stood in silence, the tension in the air slowly lifting. Noah sighed heavily and turned to her. “Gypsy, I’m sorry for yelling at you earlier. I had no right to take my anger out on you. It wasn’t fair.” Gypsy offered a sad smile. “It’s okay, Noah. After everything I’ve done… I can’t blame you for being angry.” “No, that’s no excuse,” Noah insisted, shaking his head. “I forgive you, Gypsy. For everything.” Gypsy’s eyes softened as she nodded. “Thank you,” she said sincerely. “And if you ever need someone to talk to, I’ll be here.” With that, she gave him one last look before turning and walking away, leaving Noah alone with his thoughts, the sound of the waves filling the silence between them.

Irene was harsh but it might just be what Gypsy needed. Thank you for your ongoing support of this story. Thanks for reading and for appreciating the Alf and Don scene Irene was harsh but it might just be what Gypsy needed. Thank you for your ongoing support of this story. Thanks for reading and for appreciating the Alf and Don scene

Chapter 6 Gypsy walked into the diner and spotted Irene almost immediately. She headed straight over to her. "What's going on with Noah?" she asked curiously. "He just yelled at me and made me his personal punching bag." Irene raised an eyebrow. "Can you blame him, after all the pain you've caused recently? Like kissing Will when he was with Dani and causing them to split up, or giving Nick drinks," Irene pointed out. "I'm trying to fix myself," Gypsy admitted. "I know, and I can see that. But maybe Summer Bay isn't the best place to do it. Some people won't forgive you," Irene replied simply. "I need to mend bridges before I even think about leaving, and that's what I was trying to do by helping Noah." Irene nodded in understanding. "Well, Hayley dumped him." Gypsy's expression softened. "That must hurt. I know what it's like to lose the one you love the most." She paused. "Once he cools down, I'll try to talk to him again. Thanks, Irene." Gypsy then walked out of the diner, knowing she had bridges to mend, and Noah was just the start. Brodie ran down the pier and immediately smiled when she saw the picnic set up. She was late, and seeing such a romantic gesture made her feel a pang of guilt. As soon as she reached Mitch, she kissed him, then pulled away, smiling. "I'm sorry I'm late." She looked around, taking in the scene. "This is perfect. You're perfect." She kissed him again, unable to stop smiling. "You're pretty perfect yourself, Brodie," Mitch replied, grabbing her hand and guiding her carefully until they both sat down. Brodie snuggled comfortably into Mitch's arms. "I'm so glad you came back for me." Brodie's voice was full of sincerity. She had said it before, but she truly meant it. She had expected him to leave and never look back at his life in Summer Bay. "I was always going to come back for you. I love you, Brodie Hanson." Mitch's smile was warm and genuine as he spoke. To him, Brodie was everything—his whole world. "I'm glad," Brodie said softly, her eyes searching his. "I'm so lucky to have a guy I know will never cheat on me." Even in this moment with Mitch, she couldn't forget what was happening at home, or what Jade was going through. "Of course I wouldn't," Mitch reassured her. "Is everything okay at home?" He could sense something was wrong from the way she mentioned cheating and her lateness. Brodie hesitated. "Kirsty slept with Nick," she admitted quietly. She paused for a moment, then shook her head, as if to push the thought away. "But I don't want to talk about them. I want to focus on the fact that I have an amazing boyfriend who planned such a special surprise for me. I love you." She kissed Mitch again, this time with a passion and need that surprised even her. Right now, she didn't just want him—she needed him. Don was at home, catching up with Alf, but his mind was elsewhere. He was worried about his grandson, Seb, and how he was really coping with everything. Don couldn't help but wonder how Seb would handle the situation moving forward. "Don, are you listening to me?" Alf's words snapped Don out of his thoughts. "Yeah, sorry, Alf," Don replied, just as the door opened and Seb walked in. Don immediately stood up and walked over to his grandson. "Are you okay?" he asked simply, his voice filled with concern and worry. "No, but you were right," Seb admitted. "Talking to Jade, knowing she's struggling just as much as I am, and helping each other through this... it’s all going to help." Seb wanted his grandfather to know that his advice had been valuable. "Do you want to have some dinner with us?" Don offered gently. Seb shook his head. "No, I need some time. I'll be in my room." He made a quick exit, and Alf turned to Don. "Things seemed tense. What's all that about?" Alf asked. He could see that Don was clearly worried about Seb, and he knew there had to be a reason. "It's a long story," Don replied quietly, taking another sip of his beer. Kirsty smiled as she approached Nick at the beach, carrying her bags beside her. When she reached him, she kissed him, and he kissed her back. "Are you sure about this, Nick?" Kirsty asked, needing to know he was certain about them leaving. Nick wrapped his arms around her. "I am. Until everyone cools down and stops hating on us, we need to leave." Kirsty nodded, then kissed him again. The two of them hitched a ride out of town. As they drove away from Summer Bay, they spoke softly. "We'll be back soon, Summer Bay." They knew they would return because this was their home, and eventually, everyone would have to accept them.

Another great chapter, glad Bella and Ryder will be sailing the world together, love this story.

I watched this episode and the aftermath recently, the first time i watched it in full and oh my gosh, it was written so well, i cried and cried. Still gutted they took Noah away from us

Noah's got more reasons them you know stay tuned There a reason re Gypsy, stay tuned to find out

Chapter 5 Noah stood frozen, unable to move since Hayley walked away. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion. How could he believe her when she ended things without a word of explanation, only for him to see her later with a man he didn’t even know? A man she had never mentioned before. “Noah?” A voice called out behind him, but he didn’t turn around. He didn’t even acknowledge it. “Noah, what’s wrong?” The woman’s voice spoke again, this time laced with concern. “Gypsy, I’m fine. Please, just leave me alone.” His voice was tight, barely masking the turmoil inside him. The last thing he needed was Gypsy pestering him right now. “That’s not going to happen. Talk to me.” Gypsy’s determination was clear, but Noah had no patience for it. “I SAID LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!” he snapped, his voice cracking as he bolted away from the pier. He needed to be alone, to think, to sort through the mess in his head. The emotions were too overwhelming, and he couldn’t bear to face anyone, not even Gypsy, until he could make sense of it all. Meanwhile, at the Sutherlands', Shelley was in the kitchen when Dani came down the stairs and immediately approached her. "How is she?" Shelley asked, her concern for Jade evident, though her tone carried a hint of something more complicated. "She’s not doing well," Dani replied, her voice filled with frustration. "She’s furious, upset, hurt, angry." Dani paused, then added, "And you know what? She has every right to be after what Kirsty and Nick did to her. She deserves better than to be treated like that." "I don’t blame her," Shelley began, "but Kirsty must have her reasons too." She was trying to defend her other daughter, but it only fueled Dani’s frustration. "HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY DEFEND HER AFTER EVERYTHING SHE’S DONE? ALL THE PAIN SHE’S CAUSED JADE AND SEB?" Dani’s voice was loud with anger and protectiveness, particularly for Jade. Shelley was about to respond, but they both heard footsteps approaching the doorway and then a knock on the door. Shelley quickly bit her tongue and looked at Dani. "Not a word to anyone. No one can know about this," Shelley said sternly. Before Dani could respond, her mother was already heading toward the front door, leaving Dani fuming with unspoken words. When Shelley opened the door, she was surprised to find Seb standing there—the last person she expected to see. "I'm surprised you're here. You know Kirsty lives here, right?" Shelley said, her tone carrying an edge of attitude. "I know," Seb replied firmly. "And believe me, she's the last person I want to see." The mere thought of encountering Kirsty made his stomach churn. "Then why are you here?" Shelley asked, her voice still stern. "To see Jade," Seb stated simply. He knew that Jade was the only person who could truly understand what he was going through, and he desperately wanted to talk to her. "Why do you want to see her?" Shelley asked, confusion clouding her expression. It didn’t make sense to her. "Is she here?" Seb ignored Shelley’s question, not wanting to rehash what was already clear. It was obvious that Shelley knew why he was there. At that moment, Dani stepped forward. "She’s upstairs in my room." Seb gave a small, grateful smile before excusing himself and heading up the stairs. He needed to see Jade, to find some comfort in her understanding. Once Seb was out of earshot, Shelley turned to Dani. "Why on earth would Seb want to see Jade?" Shelley asked, disbelief lacing her voice. Sometimes, Dani couldn't believe how oblivious her mother could be; it really pissed her off. "Maybe because she's the only one who understands what he's going through," Dani replied sharply. She paused before adding, "I actually think seeing Seb and talking to him will be good for Jade too." Dani meant it—perhaps the two of them could help each other through this mess. Without waiting for a response, Dani walked away before she said something she would regret, especially given how her own issues were going completely unnoticed by her mother. As Seb reached Dani's room, he saw Jade lying on the bed, staring into space. The pain in her eyes mirrored the pain in his own. He leaned against the doorframe. "Hey." Jade immediately shifted over to make room for him. "I’ve been worried about you," Jade said softly as Seb walked into the room and sat beside her on the bed. "I’ve been worried about you too," Seb replied, his voice full of concern. "I still am, actually." He meant it—if he was in a world of pain now, he could only imagine how much worse it was for Jade. "Yeah, well, the sooner Kirsty moves out of my room, the better," Jade said bitterly, her voice hardening at the mention of her sister. "I want nothing to do with her or Nick." "Same here," Seb agreed, looking at Jade. "I hate that they did this to us." Jade nodded, her expression troubled. "Me too. What did we do to deserve this?" She had been asking herself that question ever since she saw them together. "Nothing. We did nothing wrong," Seb said firmly. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "You know, when I was talking to Gramps, he pointed out that he doesn’t know what I’m going through, that only one person does." He paused, looking directly at Jade. "You. So, how about we make a pact?" Jade sat up, raising an eyebrow, curious. "What kind of pact?" Seb looked at her earnestly. "That we talk to each other about how we feel. That we vent when we need to. That we be there for each other, always." For the first time since everything had unfolded, Jade smiled. "Yeah, that sounds good." Then she pulled Seb into a hug, holding onto him tightly, as if her life depended on it. At first, he was surprised, but then he held onto Jade just as tightly.

I wish we could write to channel 7 and request for this tour to happen

Let's just say it's going to make things interesting in more then one way

Hi Everyone. I love doing screencaps of Home and Away characters or couples, just for fun but have so many, Willing to filter these into icons and share. Any requests?. Ps if use my icons please credit me

Chapter 4 Sally and Flynn walked along the beach in silence. Eventually, Sally broke the stillness. "So, Mitch?" she asked, her concern evident. She worried about how being back would affect him, given all he'd been through last time. "He told me he felt okay about being back," Flynn replied seriously. "But I made him promise to come see me if he ever felt otherwise." Sally raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "And did he agree to that? I find it hard to believe Mitch would just go along with your request." Flynn nodded. "He said he would, and I believe him." Before he could continue, he noticed someone running toward them. Sally's face lit up. As the man reached them, Sally hugged him enthusiastically. Flynn looked away, feeling an unexpected need to give them privacy. "I'll leave you to it," he said, his voice tinged with disappointment. He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret that their conversation had been interrupted by this man—who, judging by Sally's reaction, was likely her boyfriend. The moment Sally pulled away from the hug, she looked at Jesse, smiling ear to ear. She was thrilled to see her old friend and former flatmate again. "So, when did you get back into town?" Sally asked curiously, avoiding any mention of his prison sentence. "Yesterday. It's good to be back." Jesse paused, then added, "Believe it or not, I didn't miss the drama, although I walked straight into some." The mention of drama made Sally raise an eyebrow. "Drama? What kind of drama?" Although she wasn't a fan of it, she wanted to ensure Jesse wasn't involved with the wrong crowd. "Hayley's brother Nick cheated on his girlfriend with her sister," Jesse explained. Sally's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected Nick and Kirsty to get back together, especially after their messy breakup. "Well, at least it doesn't involve you," Sally said, relieved. "Where are you staying?" She wanted to make sure he had a safe place to stay. "I was at Irene's, but it's so tense there now." Jesse frowned, remembering how much he hated tension—it was the worst part of prison. "I'm living alone at the moment. How about you come stay with me? Just like old times," Sally offered, hoping he would agree. She was tired of living alone and craved adult company. Jesse felt a weight lift off his shoulders. "That sounds perfect to me." Sally smiled as she linked arms with Jesse, and they continued to walk along the beach. Meanwhile, Jade was sitting on Dani's bed, refusing to go to her own room until Kirsty and all her things were gone. The two were talking when suddenly the door opened. "Dani, guess what." Brodie paused when she saw Jade sitting with Dani, tears streaming down her face. "What's going on? What happened?" Brodie looked from Dani to Jade, concerned. Clearly, something serious had occurred. "Tell us what you were going to say. I could use some good news right now," Jade admitted, noticing how happy Brodie seemed. She desperately needed a distraction from her own broken heart. "Mitch is back, and he asked me to give him another chance," Brodie said, smiling from ear to ear. Her happiness was contagious, and both Jade and Dani found themselves smiling too. "I'm guessing you said yes?" Dani asked, even though it was pretty obvious. "Of course I did," Brodie confirmed with a bright smile. "I'm glad. I haven't seen you as happy as you were with Mitch," Jade said, relieved that at least her foster sister's relationship was working out, even if hers wasn't. "That goes double for me," Dani added, as Brodie walked over and sat on her bed across from Dani's. "Enough about me. What's going on?" Brodie asked, looking at Jade with concern. Jade glanced at Dani for support, knowing she would break down if she had to say it again. "Nick cheated on Jade with Kirsty," Dani revealed. Brodie's face turned to shock, and she immediately rushed to Jade's other side, hugging her tightly. "I'm so sorry. You deserve better," Brodie said sincerely. Out of Kirsty and Jade, Jade had always treated her nicely, and she didn't deserve this betrayal. Dani looked at Jade and said, "Brodie's right. You do deserve better. One day you'll find a guy who will love you unconditionally, no matter what." Jade was thoughtful for a moment. "Like Brodie and Mitch?" "Yes, like me and Mitch. The right person will treat you like a princess," Brodie assured her. Mitch had always treated her well, and she wanted the same for Jade. "I hope so, but right now, I doubt it," Jade said, feeling deeply insecure. Brodie and Dani picked up on her distress and immediately hugged her from either side, offering their comfort and support. Meanwhile, Hayley was sitting at the pier when she heard loud footsteps approaching. When she saw it was Noah, she immediately turned around, her body tensing up, her expression turning annoyed. "I told you I needed space," Hayley spoke bitterly. She wasn't happy to see him. Noah's clinginess was why she ended things between them in the first place. "Tell me one thing, and then I'll give you that space," Noah replied bluntly but sternly. Hayley immediately placed her hands on her hips. "What do you want to know?" Hayley hoped that the sooner she answered Noah's question, the sooner he would leave her alone and give her the space she needed. "Did you break up with me for that guy?" Noah asked, needing to know if someone else had caused their breakup. He had seen them together a few times and couldn't shake the suspicion. Hayley raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Which guy?" she asked, crossing her arms as she waited for a response. "The one I saw you with on the beach, then in the diner," Noah clarified. Hayley immediately realized he was referring to Jesse. "Jesse? No, we are just friends. But the fact that you even have to ask shows that we aren't working. This is exactly why we need a break from each other," Hayley said with a mix of hurt and seriousness in her voice. She couldn't believe Noah thought she would do something like that. Before Noah could speak again, Hayley continued, "Even if we were, you and I are over, so it doesn't matter." She stood up and walked away from the pier before Noah could say anything else, leaving him standing there. As she walked away, Noah looked out to the ocean, tears streaming down his face.

Hi Everyone So not that I'm a fan of Neighbours but I love how over the past few years they have been doing tours where fans can go to hear cast past/present talk about the show and them getting to meet them as well. I love how they have done this in both Australia and the UK and I wish Home and Away would do one in Australia, UK and maybe Ireland. Would this be something anyone else would want to see? If so who would be your dream cast member to attend and how do we go about maybe reaching out to channel 7 to see if they would do it. Ps I know there celebtime meet the actor in aus but talking about different type of tour.

They sure are, stay tuned for more, coming very soon

I really hope you update this soon, i want to know what happens next

Thank you @Red Ranger 1 , @beachside, @pembie for reading and your lovely comments. Chapter 3 The moment Don opened the door, he spotted his grandson, Seb, sitting on the couch, looking more broken than he had ever seen him. Don sat beside him and gently tapped his shoulder to make his presence known. Seb looked up at his grandfather. "So, you know?" Don nodded, confirming that he did. "How?" Seb asked, curiosity in his voice. "I saw Jade. She was looking for you; she's very worried about you," Don explained. Seb's expression immediately shifted to concern. "How is she? Is she okay? I didn't even ask." He knew he wasn't the only one struggling; Jade was, too. "She's trying to get her head around things," Don replied. He had a feeling that once Jade had time to process everything, she wouldn't be okay. But he also knew she was trying her best to hold it together right now. "I wish this didn't hurt like hell, Gramps. It's breaking me," Seb said, his voice thick with emotion. Don wrapped his arms around Seb and held him as he broke down in tears. After talking to Don, Jade headed home, struggling to believe that her own sister could do this to her. She felt a deep sense of hurt and, right now, an overwhelming hatred toward Kirsty that she couldn't forgive. Jade was sitting on the couch, her head buried in her knees, crying uncontrollably. The full weight of what had happened hit her hard, and she became consumed with anger and sorrow. When she arrived home and found herself alone, she simply broke down. About ten minutes later, Dani and Will walked in the front door, chatting, but they both fell silent when they heard Jade's cries. Dani immediately spotted her sister on the couch and rushed to her side, kneeling in front of her, while Will stood behind her. "Jade, what's wrong?" Dani asked urgently. Jade didn't respond; instead, her sobs grew louder, heightening Dani's concern. "Jade, please talk to me," Dani pleaded. "Tell me what happened?" After a moment, Jade managed to speak. "Nick, he..." Will quickly moved to the other side of Dani. "What's my brother done?" Jade looked up directly at Will. "He cheated on me," she said, and both Will and Dani looked shocked. Dani was the first to speak. "Are you sure?" Jade nodded. "That's not even the worst part," Jade admitted, her voice breaking. "What is?" Dani asked, both she and Will focusing intently on Jade. "He cheated on me with Kirsty," Jade revealed, her voice filled with betrayal. Dani could immediately sense the depth of Jade's pain and looked at Will before the two headed into the kitchen. "I'm sorry, I need to look after her," Dani said, her voice filled with resolve. Will shook his head and kissed Dani's forehead. "Don't be sorry. I need to deal with my idiot brother," Will replied before walking out the door, leaving Dani to comfort Jade. Dani rushed back and sat by Jade's side. Jade leaned on her sister's shoulder, her cries gradually calming down, though she was still deeply upset by the whole situation. Before Jade could speak to Dani, Kirsty walked in, talking and laughing with Rhys and Shelley. Jade's fury erupted. "HOW THE HELL COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? I HATE YOU!" Jade screamed, standing up from the couch. "I WANT YOU OUT OF MY ROOM BY TONIGHT!" She then ran up the stairs without saying another word. Rhys and Shelley turned to Kirsty, and Shelley spoke up, "I'll talk to her." Dani stepped forward, her face set with determination. "No, you won't. You don't know what this is about, so I'll go." Dani walked toward the steps, then stopped and looked at Kirsty. "I can't believe you could do this to your sister. She's hurting, and that's all on you," Dani said angrily before rushing up the stairs to check on Jade. The moment Dani left, Rhys turned to Kirsty. "Anything you want to fill us in on?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. Both he and Shelley looked desperate for answers. Kirsty shrugged nonchalantly. "Nick and I got together, that's all," she said before walking away, giving her parents no chance to respond. Rhys looked at Shelley once Kirsty had left. "I have a feeling this house will be tense for the next few months," he said. Shelley nodded, hugging her husband. They knew tough times lay ahead. Meanwhile, as Will walked into Irene's place, he was shocked to see Nick sitting on the couch, watching TV with Irene, Hayley, and Jesse, as if nothing had happened. Will's anger flared, especially after seeing how broken Jade was. "HOW CAN YOU SIT HERE AND PRETEND NOTHING HAPPENED?" Will shouted, glaring at Nick and waiting for a response. "Because nothing did," Nick said nonchalantly as he stood up to face Will. "EXCEPT FOR CHEATING ON YOUR GIRLFRIEND WITH HER SISTER," Will yelled. Irene and Hayley both looked surprised. Hayley, clearly hurt by her brother's actions, spoke up, "You did what?" She raised her eyebrows, incredulous. "It's not like Jade and I were together long," Nick replied dismissively. Irene interjected, "That's no excuse, Nick. If you wanted to be with Kirsty, you should have been honest about it." "It's not easy, besides, you need to get used to it," Nick retorted, frustration evident in his voice, before storming off to his room. Hayley, who was standing next to Jesse, turned to Will. "How's Jade?" she asked, her concern for Jade's well-being overshadowing her anger at Nick. "She's shattered, angry, and upset. Dani's with her," Will replied, filling them in on Jade's condition. "Our brother's an idiot," Hayley said, shaking her head in disappointment. Will nodded in agreement. It was clear both he and Hayley were deeply unhappy with what Nick had done.
