Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Tane tells Jo to stop meddling in Harper’s life, while Irene shocks her friends with a major change of plans!

As Harper (Jessica Redmayne) faces the challenge of finding somewhere else to live, she continues to be wound up by the presence of Jo (Maddison Brown).

Things have been awkward between the pair on account of Jo’s interest in Harper’s ex-fiancé Tane (Ethan Browne), who Harper is still hung up on despite him admitting he didn’t love her on the morning of their wedding.

Sharing baby Archie with Tane means that Harper steering clear of him isn’t a possibility, and seeing her ex heading back onto the dating scene has brought out the green-eyed monster.

Not that Tane and Jo’s attempts to get together have been entirely successful. During their last attempted date, Jo spotted a call coming in from Harper on Tane’s phone whilst he was at the bar and declined it, fed up of their dates constantly being interrupted. She soon came clean and Tane was annoyed at her overstepping.

Meanwhile, Harper and sister Dana (Ally Harris) were surprised to learn that landlady Irene (Lynne McGranger) was selling her beloved Beach House in order to travel the world in the wake of her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

The house was quickly on the market, with Jo and dad David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) amongst the interested parties attending an open house session. Unfortunately for Jo, it wasn’t until she was standing in Harper’s bedroom, eyeing it up for herself, that she spotted a photo of Tane and Archie and realised who lived there.

Harper returned at that very moment, and awkwardness ensued.

The situation wasn’t made any better when Harper later came into the surf club to find Jo holding Archie briefly in order to help out Tane.

Tane was concerned by the news of the Beach House being on the market, and was quick to offer up his spare room to Harper and Archie. Whilst it’d be the ideal situation for Tane, having his son under his own roof, Harper couldn’t think of anything worse than moving back in with her ex.

Next week, as Irene and Leah (Ada Nicodemou) sit down to map out her travel plans, Irene’s phone rings. It’s the real estate agent, with the news that David has made an offer on the house.

Irene stumbles, as the reality of the situation suddenly hits her. Leah reminds her that it’s her call to make—if she wants to take her time, pack up slowly and continue with her trip planning, then that’s her choice. But Irene’s all too aware that time isn’t something she can take for granted.

When Dana walks in and overhears Irene mentioning the offer, she’s taken aback, realising just how close Irene is to selling up.

Irene assures Dana and Harper that nothing’s been finalised, and admits she feels guilty about the effect her decision will have on them and Archie. Harper encourages her not to worry, to put herself first for once, and Dana agrees—they’ll manage, like they always do.
