This week in Home and Away, Theo (Matt Evans) is furious when he sees a text from Bob (Rob Mallet) pop up on Kirby’s (Angelina Thomson) phone. Why is his girlfriend texting with her ex?
She, however, argues that she did nothing wrong and becomes irate with him when he confronts her about it. When Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) and Theo express their disapproval of her meeting with Bob, she makes plans to do so. However, how much is she willing to sacrifice for the guy who broke her heart?
Meanwhile, Ziggy (Sophie Dillman), who had been experiencing morning sickness, was prepared to start working when she was suddenly overcome with excruciating abdominal cramps. Dean (Patrick O’Connor) urges her to see the hospital right away, and as she is hurried there, she starts to worry: what if the baby has a problem?
