Theo’s final act was one of courage—he sacrificed himself to save Lacey (Sophea Pennington) when Wendell tried to run her down. His death has devastated the Bay, leaving Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) and Justin Morgan (James Stewart) consumed by grief and anger.

Blame has divided the community. Leah initially pointed the finger at Lacey, furious that her actions put Theo in danger. But when Theo’s mother Cassandra returned to seek answers, she accused Leah of failing to protect her son and barred her from attending the funeral. Even with Wendell’s arrest and confession, peace feels out of reach for Leah, whose pain continues to deepen.

Remi and Sonny Refuse to Let Theo’s Music Die

Theo’s death has hit Remi Carter (Adam Rowland) especially hard. He and Theo were about to launch a new venture—Remi’s record label Back on Track Records—with Theo as their first signed artist. After the tragedy, Remi almost walked away from music altogether, until Sonny (Ryan Bown) reminded him that Theo would have wanted them to keep going.

Determined to honour their friend, Remi and Sonny decide to dedicate their new recording studio to Theo’s memory. They reach out to Justin for ideas, but the request stirs raw emotions for both him and Leah. Sorting through Theo’s belongings, they find something that reignites the connection they all shared—Theo’s guitar.
