With Tane and Felicity on the rocks, fans are questioning if anyone can find happiness in Summer Bay.
One of Summer Bay’s most beloved couples, Felicity and Tane, are about to call it quits following months of conflict and drama, which has infuriated fans of Home and Away.
Before the subject of having children came up, the couple appeared to have reconciled after a tumultuous year that saw them get engaged, argue about being engaged when Felicity had second thoughts, have her car crash on the way to the wedding after she experienced another episode of cold feet, and then have Felicity be sexually abused and blackmailed by her attacker.
In a nutshell, Tane (Jacqui Purvis and Ethan Browne) has always desired children, which brings us to the narrative of Felicity and Tane. Felicity has never desired to have kids. Since the beginning of their relationship, she has been transparent about it. Tane seems to believe that perhaps, in spite of their shared trauma, she would reconsider.
Until recently, Felicity was quite set in her ways. She saw how dejected Tane and all of his muscles looked every time he realised again how much she never wanted children.
Thus, she foolishly told him she was going to have a child. Felicity took the birth control pill in secret with a theatrical expression of horror, as if it would kill her, even though the two were trying quite eagerly at first.
Home and Away fans divided
The complicated storyline has seen Home and Away fans become completely divided on who’s side of the saga they’re on.
Some have been Team Flick, given the fact she’s always been pretty upfront about not wanting kids (you know, minus this big slip-up of pretending she wanted them for a hot second).
“Tane, geez. Self-centered. One irate admirer wrote, “Your wife was in an accident that almost killed her, she was sexually assaulted and blackmailed by the attacker, and she told you she never wanted children and asked if she was enough for you.” “Poor Flick has been the object of your constant prodding till she agreed. Both my spouse and I support Flick. Sadly, love. She’s experienced a lot.”
“If Tane wanted children, he shouldn’t have married Flick,” another person said. “She said from the start she didn’t want kids.”
“If a woman says not yet then that should be respected at all times, it is her body,” a different supporter stated. “If it is forced on you, you will grow to resent the child you are carrying and also the one who insisted.”
Other fans are adamant that Felicity is a liar and can’t take accountability for her own actions.
Tane may have been selfish in wanting a baby but Flick shouldn’t have lied. This one’s on her,” one person said.
“Flick can’t stop lying to Tane,” another agreed. “Even when he knew something was up she lied. Now she’ll blame everyone but herself.”
“What she’s done this time is just vile. I know he’s far from perfect but I am with him about it being unforgivable,” another stated.
Other fans just think it’s a shame that any couple can’t be happy in Summer Bay.
“I just think it’s a shame, the way the writers are breaking up Tane & Flick. I loved them as a couple, it would be great if one couple stayed together,” one person sadly said.
Preach.
