Yahoo News Home and Away reveals Irene secret and more Aussie goss
Home and Away's Irene Roberts has some very concerning news to share next month as she reveals that her villainous son Mick Jennings wants custody of baby Luc.
A big new storyline twist sees Irene's behaviour take a secretive turn as she becomes troubled by a series of unwanted messages that she's receiving.
Although Irene (Lynne McGranger) is reluctant to confide in anyone about what's going on, Olivia Fraser Richards soon discovers that Mick is the mystery person who's bothering her.
Even more surprising is the revelation that Irene has already been secretly visiting Mick and he's demanding access to his young daughter.
Irene tells Olivia (Raechelle Banno) that it's best to keep Ash, Kat, Leah and VJ in the dark as it's sure to blow over, but Olivia later realises just how serious things are when she answers a call on Irene's phone.
Olivia finds herself talking to Mick's lawyer and is surprised to discover just how far he's taking his quest for custody.
Under pressure from Olivia, a sheepish Irene finally breaks the news to the others that Mick wants access to Luc and is even petitioning to do a paternity test to prove that he's the youngster's father.
VJ (Matt Little) and Ash (George Mason) are particularly horrified by the news and vow to put a stop to it straight away, but just how easy will that be?
Home and Away airs these scenes on Monday, July 31 and Tuesday, August 1 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
Elsewhere in Summer Bay, the show's brand new family turn up and quickly make their presence felt.
Home and Away is bringing in the four-strong Astoni clan, consisting of husband and wife Ben and Maggie and their two rebellious daughters Ziggy and Coco.
The Astoni family arrive in the Bay after deciding to escape the hustle and bustle of their life in the city, where things haven't been going too well for them.
The two girls are at the centre of most of the trouble, as Ziggy is facing serious allegations that she was involved in stealing a car, while Coco has just been suspended from school for online bullying.
In despair over all of the problems, Maggie suggests taking a trip away to her mother's and they end up making a quick pit stop in Summer Bay to enjoy some family time on the beach.
When the Astonis' car won't start afterwards, it's clear they'll have to stick around in Summer Bay for a little longer than planned. Is it fate?
Home and Away's series producer Lucy Addario recently commented: "Like any family, they each have a keenly attuned instinct for riling each other up, but no matter what obstacles are thrown at them, the family know they've got each other's back.
"Ultimately grounded by their fierce familial love, with a healthy dose of playfulness and infectious optimism thrown in the mix, The Astonis settle into the Summer Bay community without incident…almost!"
