Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers.
Home and Away‘s UK fans can expect to learn more about Harper and Dana Matheson’s backstory in May as the sisters reflect on their traumatic childhood.
The siblings take some time to discuss the past as the mysterious case of an abandoned baby in the Bay causes tensions between them.
These intriguing scenes aired in Australia last Thursday (March 7) and there’ll be a few weeks before they hit screens in the UK, so if you can’t wait that long, read on for our guide to the sisters’ revelations.
The abandoned baby
One of Home and Away‘s biggest recent stories on Australian screens has revolved around Tane Parata finding a baby abandoned on the beach.
This moment airs on Channel 5 on Thursday, April 18, as Tane takes control by rescuing the little girl and raising the alarm.
Tane then decides to join the baby at the hospital, where he unofficially names her Maia in the absence of any other information about her.
The gym boss is adamant that he’s all Maia has and he’ll continue to keep an eye on her until someone comes forward. This sparks inevitable concern that he’s growing too attached.
When Tane’s involvement with the baby’s case is later criticised in the local press, the Northern Districts Hospital gets stricter with protocol and asks him to stay away.
Meanwhile, Rose Delaney leads the police’s investigation into the abandoned baby, making public appeals for information.
Rose explains that baby Maia is statistically most likely to have been left on the beach by a struggling mother.
This sparks mixed reactions in the Bay, with some people criticising Maia’s mum for endangering her. Others push for a more understanding approach until they know the full details of what Maia’s loved ones were going through.
