Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers
An exciting new baby storyline is coming in Home and Away as one character becomes seriously broody.
Next week’s scenes will see Ziggy Astoni and Mackenzie Booth being abducted by two escaped prisoners while Mackenzie and Levi visit Ziggy and Dean in Queensland.
During the kidnapping, Mackenzie learns that Ziggy is actually pregnant.
In the aftermath, Mackenzie and Levi return home but it’s clear Mackenzie has not been herself since the ordeal. Levi shows concern but Mackenzie asks that they both just try and forget what happened.

Later, Levi asks Tane Parata to see if Mackenzie will open up to him instead, as he believes there is more to her behaviour than meets the eye.
He thinks that perhaps something happened between Ziggy and Mackenzie while they were alone with the prisoners, but there’s nothing sinister she hasn’t told Levi.

Finding out Ziggy is pregnant again made Mackenzie realise she is desperate to have a baby, but she isn’t sure how Levi is going to feel about it.
Speaking about the storyline, an insider told Digital Spy: “Mac’s certainly feeling broody after her trip to Queensland. She loves being a fun aunty around Dean and Ziggy’s daughter Izzy – and now there’s another baby on the way for the couple.
“Her near-death experience with the escaped prisoners is also a timely reminder that life’s too short. Mac’s keen to get on with settling down with Levi, especially now that his divorce from his wife Imogen has been finalised. But do they want the same things?”
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5, with repeat screenings at 6pm on 5STAR and first-look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video in the UK.
