Next week on Home and Away in Australia, Mali finds himself caught up in River Boy drama as the gang calls in a favour.
Mali (Kyle Shilling) opened up a can of worms a few weeks ago as he looked to get revenge on the Allens, who had taken his brother Iluka (Dion Williams) and beaten him up.
Iluka had stolen $8,000 from the gang of petty criminals from his home town of Mantaray Point, and hot-footed it to Summer Bay to go into hiding.
When Mali learnt what his brother had done, he messaged Nat Allen (Claire Lovering), the leader of the gang, to let her know they were ready to hand back the money.
Yet the Allens wanted more than just their money back, and they headed to the bay to take Iluka away, before leaving him battered and bruised on a nearby country road.

<p>Mali couldn’t let it go, and decided to get revenge on the Allens’ revenge. He called on his old mate Dean (Patrick O’Connor) for help, and Dean put him in touch with his River Boy contacts.</p>

Rory (Joshua Orpin), the River Boys’ latest leader, and Dingo (JK Kazzi), turned up for help, and the trio faced off against Nat and her two brothers in a remote location.

<p>In the end, Rory and Dingo didn’t even have to do anything, as the fight was broken up by Rose (Kirsty Marillier) and the cops before things got too out of hand.</p>

<p>The storm in a teacup led to Rory sticking around in Summer Bay, where Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) soon caught his attention.</p>
<p>His rather old-fashioned flirting method of catcalling initially put Flick off, but she soon came around to his River Boy charm and they’ve been practically inseperable ever since.</p>
<p>By some freak coincidence, Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) has just decided to return to the police force. Yet with no vacancies at Yabbie Creek or Reefton Lakes, he’s been assigned to Mangrove River, home of the worst police station in the region, and, of course, the River Boys.</p>

Flick initially confronted Rory, but he allayed her fears when he assured her that he’d gone years without an arrest. He won her over by explaining that, with him being estranged from his parents, the boys were the only reason he was still around. 100vw, 1200px” data-lazy-src=”https://www.backtothebay.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Home-and-Away-Mali-and-the-River-Boys-1.jpg” /></p>

<p>Now, a new promo has given us a glimpse of what’s in store.</p>
<p>In next week’s episodes, John (Shane Withington) makes his own feelings known, as he asks Flick: <em>“You sure you wanna get involved with this character?”</em></p>

<p>Next week, Flick visits Mangrove River for the first time, as Cash finds his sister hanging out with Rory and the boys in the dodgy town.</p>

<p>With Cash currently investigating whether the River Boys were responsible for the death of his predecessor at Mangrove River police, we can only imagine what’s inside.</p>

<p>We hear Cash say, <em>“he’s got no place in Felicity’s life,”</em> before the promo shows numerous police cars descending on the boys’ hideout.</p>
<p><em>“Let’s get this done,”</em> Cash announces.</p>
