Harper’s Warning: WHO Must Back Off? | Home and Away UK Preview

On Tuesday, 23 September 2025, Home and Away brings another wave of tension to Summer Bay as Harper Mat finally reaches her breaking point and delivers a blunt warning that could change her relationships forever.

Big changes are already underway. Joe Langham and her father, Sergeant David Langham, are preparing to move into Irene Roberts’ iconic beach house. Irene, having decided to sell up and follow her dream of traveling the world, has left her longtime tenants—Harper and her sister Dana—scrambling for a new place to live.

The sisters are anxious, unsure where they will go next. But to Harper’s irritation, Joe takes it upon herself to quietly research rental options for them. While Joe believes she is being helpful, Harper sees the move as yet another act of meddling in a life that’s none of her business. Rather than gratitude, Harper responds with suspicion and anger.

The tension between Harper and Joe has never been far from the surface, largely because of Joe’s tangled romantic history with Harper’s ex-fiancé, Tane Parata. For Harper, Joe represents unfinished wounds, unspoken rivalry, and the constant reminder of what she has lost. And now, to make matters worse, Joe and her father are about to move into the very house Harper once called home.

When Joe later arrives at the beach house, hoping to smooth things over, Harper has no patience left. With icy determination, she tells Joe in no uncertain terms to back off. Her voice is firm, her tone laced with frustration and finality. It is not just about housing or rental options—it is about Harper reclaiming control over her own space, her choices, and her future. The blunt message reverberates through the Bay, signaling that this feud is far from finished.

Meanwhile, another Stewart family drama is unfolding. Alf Stewart, ever the straight talker, has strong words for his daughter Roo. Roo has been fiercely protective of her foster son Cohen Luther since the unexpected return of his biological father, Adrien Purcell. Driven by fear of losing Cohen, Roo previously threatened Adrien with police action if he dared to come too close. But her aggressive stance has sparked concern.

Alf reminds Roo that constant interference will only push Cohen further into turmoil, while social worker Harper warns that her actions could jeopardize Cohen’s placement altogether. Under mounting pressure, Roo reluctantly softens her approach. In a surprising shift, she extends an invitation to Adrien, asking him to join the family for dinner.

Yet the decision raises as many questions as it answers. Adrien has been absent from Cohen’s life for years—will the young boy be ready to face his father after so much time apart? Or will the scars of abandonment run too deep to heal with a single dinner invitation?

As Harper delivers her fiery warning to Joe and Roo takes a cautious step toward reconciliation with Adrien, Summer Bay simmers with unresolved tension. With family bonds at risk, rivalries intensifying, and past wounds resurfacing, Tuesday’s episode promises drama that could reshape lives across the Bay.
