Home and Away horror as rapist Mick gets released

From Digital Spy

Home and Away fans will be left fearing for baby Luc's future when her twisted father Mick Jennings defies the odds and gets released.

Mick, who's the son of Summer Bay favourite Irene Roberts, fathered Luc when he raped Billie Ashford in a dark storyline last year.

Luc is currently being cared for by her uncle Ash following Billie's tragic death earlier this year, but viewers may well question whether that's all about to change in an upcoming storyline.

Today's Australian episode of Home and Away – due to air on Channel 5 next month – saw Mick released from a facility after a parole hearing.

As UK viewers will soon see, Mick manages to convince the experts that he's a changed man. This sends Ash's stress levels sky high, as he fears that the villain could now start a custody fight for Luc.

If that wasn't bad enough, Ash's new relationship with Tori Morgan also comes under strain, as she doesn't approve of his aggressive reactions to the troubling turn of events.

With Ash repeatedly losing his temper, Tori starts to worry that she's made a big mistake by getting involved with him.

Penny McNamee, who plays Tori, told Aussie magazine TV Week: "Tori is upset at the way Ash deals with Mick. She's never seen his temper flare – it frightens her.

"She wonders if she can be in a relationship with a man with such a bad temper."

Viewers will have to stay tuned to find out whether Mick really has changed, whether he wants access to Luc, and where Irene's loyalties lie as the unsettling situation continues to unfold.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
