She may have only been a Summer Bay resident for a matter of weeks, but Home and Away‘s Felicity has already made a big impression on Tane.
A new promo suggests he may struggle to let her down gently, as she continues to vie for his affections. You can view the promo in full within this article.
Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) was first introduced to us when Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) came home to find her arguing with their next door neighbour. She believed the neighbour had reported them to their landlord for excessive noise, and didn’t hold back with telling her exactly how she felt.
Soon after, Felicity met her first Summer Bay resident. Tane (Ethan Browne) headed to a club to try to forget about Ziggy (Sophie Dillman), who has recently reunited with ex-boyfriend Dean (Patrick O’Connor), and it was there that he bumped into the feisty newcomer.
The flirty youngster made an immediate impression on the Parata brother when she got up on the bar to dance Coyote Ugly style, before jumping behind it to pour herself a drink. Even Tane thought her helping herself to drinks was a step too far, until she revealed that she worked there! Before Tane knew it, he was back at Felicity’s house, where the pair spent the night together.
Little did he know, but Tane was also spending the night at the home of Summer Bay’s newest cop Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright), who just so happens to be Felicity’s brother.
The Paratas’ years of crime – which have only very recently come to an end – mean that Tane isn’t a big fan of cops. When he discovered who her brother was, he made a swift exit! However, while Felicity have just been a one night stand he’d rather forget, it looks like he won’t be able to get rid of her that easily.
We don’t know much about Felicity and Cash, other than that their mother had an illness that required frequent hospitalisation, and their parents’ untimely death resulted in them entering the fostering system.
Felicity brings her own baggage, and her constant loud music and erratic behaviour has led to her and Cash being evicted from their home just a few weeks after moving from the country to Summer Bay. It looks like she’s still grieving the loss of her family, as shown by her clutching a brown photo album of memories after all of their belongings were thrown out during their eviction.
It looks likely that her troubled childhood has led to emotional issues and perhaps a fear of abandonment. The new promo focusses on her relationship with Tane, and suggests that the Parata brother is going to have a hard time letting her down gently.
