On this week’s Home and Away in Australia, Tane is in for a shock when he discovers the identity of his one night stand – new character Felicity Newman.
Last week, Tane (Ethan Browne) came to the painful realisation that Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) is still very much in love with Dean (Patrick O’Connor).
Ziggy and Dean shared a kiss at Bella’s (Courtney Miller) exhibition in the city, but Ziggy swore to Tane that it had been a one-off mistake, and that her feelings for her ex hadn’t returned. However, in reality, that’s exactly what has happened.
It’s almost been a year since Ziggy and Dean broke up. At first, Ziggy was unable to deal with Amber’s growing presence in his life and his ever-increasing weird behaviour. He finally confessed that the real reason for his strange behaviour was because he was there the day of Ross Nixon’s death and was terrified that Angelo would find out – but all it did was push her further away.
It was too much for her, and she left Dean heartbroken.
Tane understood his girlfriend’s fears over Dean’s condition, but was taken aback when he discovered she’d been visiting him in hospital without telling him, instead pretending she was spending the day at the garage. Finally, he admitted to himself that he couldn’t compete with Dean, and ended things with Ziggy.
The younger Parata brother opened up to Mackenzie (Emily Weir) at the end of last week, confessing that even though he thinks Ziggy does love him, she doesn’t love him as much as she does Dean.
“I guess it’s a good thing that Dean’s already in hospital,” Mac quipped, but Tane knows that it isn’t Dean’s fault. He hasn’t done anything wrong.
Worse still, Amber warned him months ago that there were still left over feelings between Dean and Ziggy, so he should have listened to her and saved himself the heartache.
As for Ziggy and Dean, the future is looking bright for a reconciliation. She visits him in hospital again this week, where she tells him that she and Tane have broken up.
After their kiss at the exhibition, the only thing standing in the way was Ziggy’s inability to tell him she forgave him. Later in the day, she returns to the hospital and confesses the full extent of her feelings, before the two ex-lovers share another passionate kiss.
