Home and Away fans brace yourself: there’s death in the air in Summer Bay, and by the end of next week, one of the soap’s main cast will be no more.
Channel Seven is keeping quiet about who it will be, simply hinting the week will end in tragedy, ‘with four of the Bay’s most beloved residents in peril’.
Those four residents are relapsing alcoholic Irene (Lynne McGranger), Harper (Jessica Redmayne), who is secretly pregnant with Tane’s (Ethan Browne) baby, Felicity (Jacqui Purvis), and Eden (Stephanie Panozzo).
All feature prominently in a new promo doing the rounds — and one won’t make it to next week.
It all kicks off in next Monday’s episode, which sees Felicity throwing Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and Eden a surprise engagement party in an attempt to repair the fractured relationship with her brother.
‘The music’s blaring, the dance floor is pumping, and the drinks are flowing under the hot Summer Bay sun. But this special celebration will soon be ruined by tragedy. Who won’t make it home?’ an official release reads.
In the promo, an ambulance is then pictured speeding into the distance, but just who’s inside remains a closely-guarded secret.
Who do fans think will die on the show?
The majority of fans think it will be Felicity, according to a Home and Away spoilers group on Facebook.
One fan thinks someone will aim to shoot Cash, but will miss and take out Felicity by accident.
‘This will be a tissue moment and since this happens at the beach, this will hit Cash hard as it’s also where Stevie died as well,’ they wrote.
Fans agreed with the poster, pointing out that Jacqui’s Home and Away contract was about to expire.
‘I love Flick and will miss her character. I know her contract was up but [Facebook user] did she decide to leave or her contract was not renewed?’ one fan asked.
A third shared their upset over the possibility of Felicity’s death rocking Summer Bay.
‘Best actor on the show by far, sad she leaves,’ they wrote.
