Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers.
Home and Away‘s Tane Parata will be left horrified amid his ongoing baby storyline.
A few weeks back, Tane found an abandoned baby while walking along the beach, and has since spent most of his time looking after her in the hospital.
After starting to pursue methods to become Maia’s legal guardian, Tane is blocked from becoming an emergency foster carer.
In scenes set to air next week on Channel 5 in the UK, Harper shares a news article with Tane that questions his motives surrounding the baby, after a journalist spoke to her sister Dana.
Harper honestly reveals that Dana was tricked into talking, which Tane is not impressed by.
The same journalist then arrives to speak to Mali, but instead finds Tane feeding the baby. A fight quickly breaks out between the pair, before Rose interrupts and sends the journalist away, unimpressed with Tane’s behaviour.
Later, Alf is still upset that Tane’s name is being tarnished in the press but is relieved when Roo confirms that the journalist will be reprimanded. They then sort through the baby items that have been donated by the community following Rose’s press conference.
While inspecting the donations, Roo notices a bracelet engraved with the name ‘Poppy’. Questioning whether that’s the baby’s real name, she takes the evidence to Rose, who accepts it but doesn’t believe it’s from the baby’s mother.
