Is Marilyn’s life in danger? And can those threatening her be stopped before it’s too late?
Those are the burning questions in this week’s episodes of Home And Away as the campaign against Marilyn escalates.
She’s living in fear.

In recent episodes, her ex-husband John (Shane Withington) witnessed her peril first-hand when a brick was thrown through the window with a message: “No more interviews, or else.”
The retaliation comes after Marilyn outed the company in a scathing article.
This is all a wakeup call for Marilyn.

Marilyn alerts the police to the harassment, but they’re no closer to finding who’s behind it. Worried for his friend, John offers to help, but Marilyn won’t allow others to become involved.
“Cash [Nicholas Cartwright] has a serious conversation with her about how to deal with it,” Emily says. “But it escalates in a way she never imagined.”
The fear is making her life unbearable. At work and at home, Marilyn constantly checks the locks, twitching at every sound. When she hears the front door rattle, she arms herself with a frying pan and hides. The door opens and in walks… Irene (Lynne McGranger)!
Marilyn advances towards her wildly until she realises who it is and collapses with relief. Irene invites Roo (Georgie Parker) over, the pair coming together for their friend in need.
Already fragile, could what happens next push poor Marilyn right over the edge?
