Coming up next week on Home and Away in the UK, Theo’s reckless behaviour could cost Nikau his job as a lifeguard, as he goes it alone with his online challenges.
As we return to Summer Bay next week, Theo is mooching around feeling sorry for himself after losing his partner-in-crime Ryder.
The two have gained a following with their online video challenges, but it all came to an end when Theo humiliated Ryder by revealing that he had kissed Chloe.
Although Justin (James Stewart) thinks Theo should accept Ryder’s decision to call it a day, Theo instead decides he’s going to carry on producing the videos by himself.
His first solo effort sees him hark back to one of his very first ideas; one that was quickly poo-pooed by Ryder, and for good reason. When he sees newly qualified lifeguard Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) checking over the surf club’s buggy during his first ever shift, he puts his plan into action.
Duping Nik into believing there’s someone in trouble in the water is all it takes create a momentary distraction, and Theo hijacks the buggy!

When the buggy runs out of petrol, Theo returns home to find a furious John Palmer (Shane Withington) waiting for him – other than being his pride and joy, the buggy is vital lifesaving equipment. Theo taken it for a joyride could well have put lives in danger!
Coming across the pair recovering the buggy, Ryder can’t resist filming as John berates Theo, with the upload proving popular with fans who are happy to see the duo back together.
Theo’s solo video on the other hand doesn’t get nearly as many views, which leads Ryder to the realisation that he and Theo need each other to succeed.
A chat with Roo (Georgie Parker) gives Ryder food for thought the next day.
With his step-grandmother Martha (Belinda Giblin) facing hefty medical costs if she’s to return home, Ryder knows that his family would benefit greatly if he could repay the debt he owes them.
But, with Chloe’s recent demand that she take over the food delivery business after their recent breakup, it means he has one less source of income to help pay it back.
With this in mind, Ryder accepts that he needs to swallow his pride. With the videos a potential solution to his money woes, he arranges to meet Theo in the diner with a proposal…
