Harper can’t get over Tane’s BETRAYAL…

There’s never a quiet day in Summer Bay, and next week the drama explodes when old wounds, new romances, and unresolved betrayals collide in the most unexpected way.

Sergeant David Langham and his daughter, Jo, have been searching for a place to settle down. On the surface, a simple house viewing should be nothing more than an afternoon outing. But when they step through the doors of Irene Roberts’ iconic beach house—now officially up for sale—they find themselves stepping straight into a storm that no one saw coming.

The house, with its stunning ocean views and deep-rooted Bay history, looks like the perfect fresh start. But Jo, wandering curiously through the downstairs rooms, stumbles into something that will change everything. On a bedside table sits a framed photo of none other than Tane Parata. The shock is immediate. This isn’t just any room—this is Harper Matheson’s, Tane’s former fiancée and the mother of his child. And Jo herself? She happens to be Tane’s new partner.

The realization knocks the wind out of her. But before Jo can retreat, the front door swings open. Harper has returned home. And in seconds, the two women—one from Tane’s past, one from his present—stand face-to-face for the very first time.

The atmosphere is suffocating, thick with tension. Harper freezes when she sees Jo caught in her private space, eyes lingering on the photo. Confusion gives way to fury, her voice sharp and edged with venom as she demands: “What exactly are you doing in my room?”

Jo stammers, but explanations are useless. Harper has already seen enough, and the unspoken truth cuts deep: Tane has moved on, and Jo is now tangled up in a life Harper still considers her own.

What began as a house inspection quickly descends into an emotional battlefield. Harper’s heartbreak simmers dangerously close to rage. For her, this isn’t just about a room or a photo—it’s about betrayal. Tane promised her forever, and now here stands Jo, unknowingly stepping into the remnants of that life. Harper can’t comprehend how quickly she’s being replaced, and the bitterness is undeniable.

The clash is electric, with both women locked in a silent battle for legitimacy in Tane’s world. Jo, blindsided, wonders if she’s underestimated the weight of Tane’s past. Harper, still raw from their breakup, can’t bear the thought of Jo laying claim to the man she once called her future.

And as the argument threatens to boil over, one more question looms: will Sergeant Langham still want to buy a house that’s become ground zero for Tane’s fractured love life?

Summer Bay has seen its share of love triangles, but this one may be the most combustible yet. Harper’s anger isn’t cooling, Jo is caught in the crossfire, and Tane’s betrayal hangs over them all like a storm cloud ready to burst. One thing’s certain—no one will walk away from this unscathed.
