Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away‘s Cash Newman finds himself caught up in a terrifying attack this week, as film star Stevie Marlow’s stalker tracks her down.

After Cash quit his job with the police, he decided to start working in private security and quickly took on a case for Stevie, who has been battling with a scary stalker.

TV Week reports that, in scenes that will air in Australia this week and in a couple of months’ time in the UK, Stevie’s case takes a worrying new turn when a red-carpet event for her new movie approaches.

Stevie believes that it is finally time to come out of hiding and spend some time with her fans again. However, with the stalker still on the loose, Cash is furious about Stevie’s decision, convinced that this could be the worst idea she’s ever had.

Cash makes it clear that Stevie is taking a huge risk by going to the event, as everyone will know exactly where she is and when – making this an attacker’s dream. But with Cash having been fired as her protection, can he do anything about the situation?

After he talks through the options with Eden Fowler, Cash decides that the risk to Stevie’s life is just too high and he’s going to keep her safe, no matter what.

“Cash knows that the danger facing Stevie is real and it’s escalating,” actor Nicholas Cartwright, who plays Cash, said. “Just because Stevie fired him doesn’t mean Cash can turn off the part of himself that cares about her safety.”
