In his mind, he feels betrayed by Jo after she kept her distance during his ordeal and hesitated to visit him in prison. While she has her own reasons for acting the way she did, Tane has made up his mind.
Speaking to Australia’s TV Week, Jo actor Maddison Brown said: “Jo is honest with Tane about how she is feeling, and it comes from a place of trying to be real rather than pretending everything is fine. But Tane takes that honesty as rejection.
“Jo is trying to hold space for something quite complex, whereas Tane sees it in a much more all or nothing way, and unfortunately that leads him to push her away instead of working through it with her.”
She continued: “Tane cannot move past Jo’s moment of doubt. He has been through something incredibly traumatic and is in a place where he needs unwavering support, so when Jo for the first time in all this has a very human moment, he takes it quite personally.”
