The emergence of the new characters is a result of a compelling storyline that this week approaches an explosive climax.
As Justin (Stewart) fights for his life at the hands of a violent doomsday survivalist group, Summer Bay is about to be destroyed.
Young Andrew (Hewson), who was in need, has been adopted by the organization Vita Nova.
Justin embarks on a solitary rescue operation to return Andrew home because he is extremely concerned for his safety.
But when things don’t go as planned, Justin is ambushed, taken hostage, and imprisoned.
Leah (Ada Nicodemou), who is devastated, asks Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) for assistance in finding Justin back in the Bay.
Leah and Cash are both aware of the heinous lengths Vita Nova will go to in order to defend its neighborhood, and as the hours pass and Justin is still missing, Leah starts to worry the worst.
Will Justin’s unsuccessful rescue attempt result in his demise?
Marilyn (Emily Symons) is engaged in conflict with the dishonest skincare company Stunning Organics.
An explosive conclusion to that conflict occurs when a mystery parcel addressed to her shows up at the Diner.
Marilyn has been subjected to threats, texts, and calls from unknown callers for weeks now, requesting that she cease giving interviews in which she criticizes Stunning Organics.
The fact that the box contains a bomb is a secret to the people of Bay.
The box ends up in the hands of several of the Bay’s cherished residents, all of whom are fully oblivious of the danger they are in, when Marilyn is slow to retrieve the package from the Diner.
A timer that counts down from the bomb’s detonation is started when it does so.
Surf shop owner Mali (Kyle Shilling) hears about the bomb threat and races into action.
With time running out, Mali barrels down the road, speeding after his friends, who are oblivious to the fact they have a deadly bomb on board.
Is Mali too late to save them from a terrifying fate?
The devastating blast will rock Summer Bay – and one person won’t come home.
