Yahoo News Home and Away to air Nikau Parata's exit story
Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers.
Home and Away airs Nikau Parata's final scenes on UK screens next week.
Kawakawa Fox-Reo finished filming his role as Nikau late last year and while he has already bowed out on Australian screens, he has remained on screen in the UK due to Channel 5's transmission gap.
Nikau's exit storyline sees his ex-girlfriend Bella Nixon return to Summer Bay for a visit.

Bella is surprised when Nikau explains that he never wanted to end their relationship and only did so to protect her from Tex Wheeler's dangerous biker gang.
Despite this revelation, Bella is adamant that it's too late for a reunion and she only wants to stay friends with Nikau.
Next week, Bella's return trip to the Bay draws to a close and she chooses to cancel her farewell party, not wanting to face the emotional pressure of saying goodbye to everyone.
Nikau wrongly assumes that Bella wants to avoid seeing him and gets upset. He confides in his Surf Club boss John Palmer, who tips off Bella about the misunderstanding.

Bella visits Nikau at the Parata house, clarifying that she just couldn't deal with saying goodbye to him again. The pair finally give into temptation, heading to Nikau's bedroom.
Later, Nikau suggests to Bella that he should move to New York with her when she goes.
Bella is excited over the idea, but Nikau's uncle Tane proves to be an unexpected obstacle for the pair's plans.
Full of bitterness after being dumped by Felicity Newman, an upset Tane encourages his nephew not to trust love. Nikau knows that Tane doesn't really mean it, but he tells Bella that he can't leave after all as his uncle clearly needs him.

When news of Nikau's latest dilemma spreads, it's left to John to step in once again.
John makes a straight-talking appeal to Tane, arguing that he shouldn't stand in the way of Nikau's happiness just because he's emotional over Felicity.
As Bella says her goodbyes to Dean Thompson, Ziggy Astoni, baby Izzy and Irene Roberts, there's a race against time for Tane to fix things.
