A new Home and Away promo has given us our first look at the dramatic shooting which will take place in next week’s episodes, as it suggests that someone won’t make it.
“A stranger in the bay” is how the new promo begins, as it shows a blurred (and yet vaguely familiar) figure walking along the beach holding a large black carry case.
We then see panic outside the Surf Club as beachgoers race away from the sand, while club president Alf (Ray Meagher) screams out, “Get inside now you lot, go!”
“I need an ambulance and police to Summer Bay,” Alf tells the person on the other end of the 000 call, and a police car soon speeds up, stopping outside the club.
Officers in bulletproof vests then work to coordinate their investigation as they head off to opposite ends of the beach in search of the unknown attacker.
“But who won’t make it?” asks the promo’s voiceover, before flicking through shots of Mackenzie (Emily Weir), Cash (Nicholas Cartwright), Leah (Ada Nicodemou), Remi (Adam Rowland) and Dana (Ally Harris).
Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) is then heard on the phone to Tane (Ethan Browne), who is preparing for his day in court for the abduction of baby Maia.
“There’s been a shooting, and whoever’s done it hasn’t been found yet,” a panicked Felicity explains to her estranged husband.
At that moment, Tane spots the suspicious-looking figure walk past, still carrying his black carry case.
Tane shouts out and gives chase, as a panicked Felicity shouts down the phone, “Tane? Tane, what’s going on?”
While the promo makes out that it’s either Mackenzie, Cash, Leah, Remi, Dana or Tane who won’t survive next week’s dramatic scenes, there’s one name missing from that list – Stevie Marlow (Catherine Văn-Davies).
Actress Stevie spent months being tormented by a stalker, who went as far as to break into her house and take photos of her sleeping.
