Home and Away spoilers follow for Australian-paced episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has sparked exit fears for one mystery character in its upcoming life-or-death disaster. Next Monday’s episode kicks off a dramatic new storyline that will leave multiple fan favourites in grave danger.

The week picks up following Cash Newman’s winning bid for his dream adventure park package at a Summer Bay Surf Club fundraiser. Cash is visibly giddy about his prize and invites his friends Tane Parata, Mali Hudson and Levi Fowler to join him on the trip.

The group set off on their special boys’ adventure, hoping to share some crazy experiences and make amazing memories together. But things takes a turn when they decide to extend their holiday for an extra night.

While on an overnight bush walk, one person from the group goes missing. With no signal and no outside help, the others desperately try to find him before it’s too late.

A teaser clip posted on Home and Away‘s official Instagram account describes the episodes as an “unmissable” “must see event”.

In the video, one of the men is shown scaling a cliff, before his foot slips off the breaking rock and he appears to fall. In another clip, the fall is followed by a blood-curdling scream.

Though we don’t actually see any lifeless bodies from the trip, fans have already been speculating about who the casualty could be. The comment section of the post was filled with theories, as viewers feared for their favourite characters.

“If it’s Tane I’m giving up watching. That poor man has had enough!!” declared one, with another agreeing: “Tane has had enough near death experiences thank you.”

“‘A life hangs in the balance’ is often used in a H&A episode description. And it’s usually Tane’s,” added a third.

“Now that there is a back up doctor, I reckon it’s Levi,” suggested another, while a fifth said: “I think it sounds like Cash?”

Home and Away drops new episodes on weekdays at 6am on 5’s streaming service with a 6.30pm screening on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video in the UK.

In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7Plus.
