Home and Away Spoilers – John prepares for a hot date!

Coming up next week on Home and Away in the UK, John has finally scored a date, but it seems Summer Bay’s silver fox is destined for disappointment…

Amongst all the drama in Summer Bay over the past few weeks, there’s been an injection of humour from John Palmer (Shane Withington) and his quest to find love via modern means.

Since separating from wife Marilyn (Emily Symons) last year following five years of marriage, all amongst his recovery from a stroke, John has thrown himself back into Surf Club business as he combatted his newfound loneliness.

When John eyed up the Smouldr dating app, Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) put his buddy on the right track by introducing him to an alternative that caters for the more mature man—Silver Dreams.

Having witnessed John’s feeble attempt at taking a selfie, Ryder offered his services in helping John set himself up on the app. After embellishing some of John’s qualities for his bio, followed by a photoshoot on the beach reminiscent of the Hoff, the profile was live.

Since then, the incessant wolf-whistling notification sounds coming from John’s phone has raised some eyebrows from those around him. Marilyn wondered what was making John so happy, whilst Alf (Ray Meagher) quickly got fed up during a club meeting.

With Ryder going through the same process of profile writing and photography for Marilyn, she found herself enjoying the window shopping experience. Alf less so, with his now having to put up with wolf whistles echoing through his own home as well as at work!

It wasn’t long before the inevitable happened though, and John got the shock of his life when his estranged wife’s photo popped up on the app. Later that evening the same happened with Marilyn, but in a moment of panic Marilyn dropped her phone and accidentally matched herself with John.

Poor Ryder then got caught in the middle, as John wondered what on earth was going on whilst Marilyn desperately tried to undo her mistake. Initially trying to avoid him, she eventually admitted what had happened to a crestfallen John, who debated whether Marilyn was hoping to give their relationship another try.

Convinced by Irene (Lynne McGranger) that the whole things was more trouble than it’s worth, Marilyn deleted the app. But just as John was about to do the same, he matched with an attractive redhead named Cynthia. Describing herself as loving long walks along the beach with her dog, she seemed perfect! John saw no harm in having one more crack at it, and sent her a message…

As we re-join the storyline this week, John has set up a date with Cynthia and excitedly chats with her over the phone as they discuss arrangements. As John rings off, he collars a passing Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) to not so subtly boast about the date he’s in the middle of arranging, but Ari is somewhat distracted with his own issues.
