While death and heartbreak are inevitable on Home and Away, it doesn’t stop viewers from fearing the worst when it comes to the fate of their favourite characters.
And it seems the latest Summer Bay local to stare death in the face is Tane Parata (Ethan Browne).
In a teaser for Home and Away‘s explosive upcoming week, Tane is seen fighting for his life in a pool of blood after an armed robbery at Salt.
Tane’s devastated girlfriend Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) applies pressure to an apparent gunshot wound on his stomach while frantically calling for help.
The dramatic preview has sent Home and Away fans into a spin, with many concerned Tane will take his last breath.
“Tane is starting to use up his 9 lives… only like 4 left 😮😂” one fan wrote.
The drama unfolds when Mackenzie’s (Emily Weir) dealings with PK take a dangerous turn when she finds herself out of money in the illicit poker underworld.
Having declined PK’s (Ryan Johnson) indecent proposal to clear her debt in exchange for spending the night with him, Mackenzie is reeling when she realises how close she is to losing everything.
But when Dean (Patrick O’Connor) tells her PK was only lying to get her into bed, an incensed Mackenzie wants only one thing: revenge.
It’s not only Mackenzie that PK and his cronies have their eye on though. In the wake of the robbery, Dean is shocked to receive a threat against his son, Jai.
A fearful Dean decides to take matters into his own hands and calls in reinforcements: the River Boys. Just how far will he go to protect his family?
