Tane can’t believe this is happening.
“After all his run-ins with Ari and trying to please him, doing his best to lead a cleaner life, and not being able to express his feelings for Mackenzie for obvious reasons, Tane isn’t feeling too good about himself and where his life has ended up,” Ethan tells TV WEEK.
Ari has had enough of the games and issues Leon and his crew a firm warning: back off.
But his words fall on deaf ears.
Ari is handed an envelope containing incriminating photos of Tane – if the cops should see them, he could go to jail for years.
“Tane never thought it would go this far and he’s gutted to do this to his family,” Ethan says.
Worried about his safety, Bella urges Nikau to leave.

She can’t bear to lose someone else she cares for.

Poor Bella!

Angelo was intent on seeking justice. But now, it’s time for him to leave Summer Bay.

Taylor offers help and support, but Colby insists she return to her husband.
Taylor accepts his words and returns to Summer Bay with a heavy heart.
That afternoon, she turns to Jasmine (Sam Frost) for help.
“She and Jasmine have a great friendship and it’s allowed Taylor to show her true sense of self and independence,” Annabelle tells TV WEEK.
“She will always love Angelo.”
With that in mind, Angelo and Taylor decide to leave town as a couple.
After bidding farewell to Alf and Roo, they breath in one last glimpse of the ocean and drive out of town.
