Home and Away spoilers 26–30 October 2026 as Dylan arrives and Lacey risks romance

Coming up next week for UK viewers, Dylan arrives in Summer Bay with a secret, Lacey struggles with unexpected feelings, and Justin’s attempt to help Richie threatens his friendship with David. Meanwhile, Eden needs reassurance, Tane misses Archie and Amelia faces uncertainty over her future.

Dylan and Lacey grow closer

Sonny has reason to celebrate after holding down a job for six weeks, with Remi proud of his progress. However, Sonny still feels guilty about driving Tane away from his son. The celebrations end when Sonny’s younger brother Dylan arrives after quitting his supposedly perfect job in Western Australia.

Dylan wants Sonny to conceal the truth from their parents, reminding him of the times he has covered for his brother. Remi highlights the double standard, given Sonny’s secrets about his breakup with Dana, spinal injury and steroid addiction. Dylan eventually admits he is tired of being the golden child and wants the gap year he never had. Sonny agrees to help and gives him keys so he can move in.

Dylan soon connects with Lacey, but she panics when they nearly kiss. She tells Jo and Amelia she has not felt this way in a long time. Memories of her late boyfriend Theo leave her in tears, and Jo questions whether she is ready for another relationship. Amelia encourages her to take a chance. Sonny, worried because Lacey still blames herself for Theo’s death, tells Dylan to stay away. Lacey later reassures Dylan and asks him on a date.

Justin’s secret comes out

Justin hopes Richie will find paid work and move out before David discovers he is living with Justin and Leah. Richie instead applies for the volunteer Bronze Medallion Course but abandons his interview with John when David appears.

Alf explains that John is offering a free breakfast and needs applicants for the course. David does not believe Richie should be responsible for saving lives, but refuses to dictate decisions about him. John subsequently offers Richie a place.

Justin’s secret is exposed when David visits and Richie answers the door. Justin explains Leah’s decision to help Richie, and David accepts the explanation despite feeling betrayed. Lacey is shocked that David’s friend allowed Richie to move in, while Amelia later challenges Justin and Leah over their dishonesty.

Eden, Tane and Amelia face uncertainty

Eden fears Mackenzie knows her siblings better than she does and worries she may not be there if Richie breaks Abigail’s heart. Cash confides in Melanie, whom he met through an Aplastic Anaemia forum. Eden overhears and is glad he has support. Mackenzie and Abigail apologise, and Mackenzie insists she could never replace Eden.

Tane struggles with leaving Archie behind despite being on good terms with Harper. John reveals Archie is struggling, prompting Mali to reprimand him before taking Tane out. Mali later tells Lacey his night with a woman was just fun without strings.

Meanwhile, Levi’s post-surgery pain makes him snap at Amelia over her questions about his return to work. He apologises and expects to return in six weeks, later showing Mackenzie improved hand mobility.

Amelia admits her locum feels different because of David. Jo worries about their future, particularly after Amelia stays overnight with David, who apologises for not warning her. Photos of his ex-wife remind Amelia of his past.
