Home And Away Sonny Risks His Recovery By Refusing To Slow Down

Sonny’s determination threatens to become his biggest problem this week as he pushes himself far beyond his limits.

Still recovering from injury, Sonny becomes frustrated by the pace of his progress and decides to take matters into his own hands.

Ignoring advice from friends and family, he throws himself into intense workouts and refuses to listen when people urge caution.

At first, Sonny convinces himself he is doing the right thing.

However, those around him can see the warning signs.

John, Dana and Remi all become increasingly concerned as Sonny continues pushing through pain and exhaustion. Matters reach a head when he arrives at the gym determined to train despite clearly not being ready.

Faced with no alternative, John steps in.

In a dramatic move, Sonny's gym membership is suspended in an attempt to protect him from himself.

The storyline reflects a challenge many people face during recovery. The desire to return to normal life as quickly as possible can sometimes lead to setbacks if medical advice is ignored.

For Sonny, learning patience may prove every bit as difficult as the physical rehabilitation itself.
