Kirby and Theo have been in their little love bubble for weeks. But is Bob’s return about to burst it big-time?
This week on Home And Away, Bob (Rob Mallet) – Lyrik’s former frontman and Kirby’s (Angelina Thomson) ex-boyfriend – comes back to Summer Bay after learning of the band’s recent success.
But there’s another reason for his presence: he wants Kirby back, much to Theo’s (Matt Evans) dismay.
No-one would want to wreck this love affair…but Bob would.
(Image: Seven)“Bob’s return to Summer Bay isn’t something Theo takes lightly,” Matt, 26, tells TV WEEK. “He found this girl who loves music, as he does, and feels like everything is on the right path – until Bob comes back and potentially could take all that away from him.”
While Theo suspects Bob’s intentions, he trusts Kirby and wants to give her space to clear the air with her ex. So when Bob asks out Kirby for a drink, a respectful Theo gives her the chance to resolve things – even if it means she’ll miss Lyrik’s radio premiere.
“Kirby is initially very taken aback when Bob reaches out to her to meet up,” Angelina says. “But considering the way things ended, she’s eager to get closure and put the whole thing behind her.”
Although Theo could see what might happen a mile away, Kirby is shocked when Bob admits he’s not over her.
The (far right) is willing to let Bob and Kirby sort things out.

Unhappy with being knocked back, Bob turns his attention to Theo and, during a competitive game of pool, tries to throw Theo by telling him Kirby is just having a fling with him and she’ll eventually come crawling back to him.
He’s lying, but it has an effect.
“Theo definitely lets Bob get the better of him and believes there could be a chance history will repeat and Kirby will go back to Bob,” Matt explains. “It’s hard to erase the history the couple has had together.”
