Grab the tissues Home And Away fans – it could be time to farewell another Summer Bay resident.
Emotions are running high this week as the Parata family grapple with Ari’s cancer diagnosis. Now, Ari has decided against the radical surgery that could save his life.
After experiencing sharp stabbing pains in prison, Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) was rushed to hospital with suspected appendicitis.
But what Dr Logan (Harley Bonner) found was of far greater concern: multiple tumours in the abdomen. Ari was facing life in prison, now he faces death.
The entire family is moved by their vows, making them temporarily forget the dire situation they’re in.
(Image: Seven)For Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), the thought of losing his uncle to jail has been almost unbearable. How will he handle losing him forever?
“That’s a confronting reality for Nikau and he would do everything in his power to stop that from happening,” Kawakawa tells TV WEEK.
While Tane (Ethan Browne) assures Nikau that not all is lost, Mia (Anna Samson) seeks out hope from Dr Logan.
Treatment plans are few and far between for such an aggressive cancer – except for a radical surgery to remove the tumours. But to her surprise, Ari refuses.
Mia, Tane and Nikau are stunned. Why wouldn’t he fight? Ari, however, explains that a life in prison or in a hospital is now a life he wants.
But just as quickly, their reality comes crashing down when Ari collapses!
(Image: Seven)He’s ready to leave on his terms. Plus, he’s about to marry the love of his life. It’s a day of celebration, not commiseration.
Meanwhile at the Parata household, Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) and Bella (Courtney Miller) wait to hear news of the surprise wedding. Felicity reveals that she doesn’t feel worthy of being part of the family.
Tane has invited her into sacred ground. Bella listens before explaining just how deeply Tane cares for Felicity – he may need her now more than ever.
Back at the hospital, Mia and Ari are ready to wed. The entire family is moved by their vows, making them temporarily forget the dire situation they’re in.
But just as quickly, their reality comes crashing down when Ari collapses!
Hang in there, Ari!
Dean becomes a mediator between Karen and Brett, while Ziggy is left out in the cold!
(Image: Seven)Will Dean tell Karen to leave?
Since arriving in Summer Bay, Karen has continued to encroach on her son Dean’s life. At first, it was to hide from her fiancé as she grapples with becoming a wife.
Now, she’s learnt she is a grandmother and wants to stay in town – but not just anywhere, in Dean (Patrick O’Connor) and Ziggy’s (Sophie Dillman) home.
This week, things get even cosier when Karen (Georgia Adamson) gets a surprise visitor. Brett arrives unannounced. He wants Karen to be his wife, but she’s not ready.
In an unexpected move, Dean becomes a mediator between the two while Ziggy is left out in the cold!
At the end of her tether, Ziggy makes a bold suggestion to fix Karen and Brett’s jitters. But will it work?
