The 2024 Home and Away cliffhanger may be solved by a new face in the Bay.
Home and Away may have finished on our screens for another year, but that hasn’t stopped the eagle-eyed fans from already noticing some new faces in the upcoming 2025 storylines.
The series ended for 2024 on an epic cliffhanger involving Cash looking like he’s gotten himself in a spot of trouble after waking up next to a seemingly unconscious (or dead) Tim, with blood on his hands. Cash had originally gone to find his ex Eden who was at a secluded resort with Tim and the rest of the band Lyrik, to warn her that Tim’s ex-client Nerida was on the rampage and out for revenge.
So what happened? While we won’t fully known until 2025, a grab from one of Rose’s potential last scenes in Summer Bay hints at what we can expect.
Home and Away fans spot new character
While we wait to see the result of the bloodshed — is Tim alive? Is Cash innocent? How exactly was Nerida involved and how did she take on two grown-ass men? — a behind-the-scenes photo has fans talking about the potential outcome of all the drama, and how a brand new face may be involved.
In a Home and Away Facebook fan group, an admin uploaded an image showing a new character whose name is yet unknown, but played by Craig Hall (Neighbours, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) but could be a potential police officer or detective investigating what the hell happened between Cash, Tim, and Nerida.
“A new character played by Craig Hall (character name not confirmed) he played Victor Stone on Neighbours,” the admin posted. “Looks like he is just a guest appearance and not sure if he’s a police officer or detective, but you see him standing behind Rose. This was post before Rose left — could be Nerida, but to me she doesn’t look like Nerida.”
Fans were quick to point out though that they do think the woman in handcuffs is Nerida finally being arrested.
“That is Nerida definitely!” one person commented. “Definitely Nerida in handcuffs,” another agreed. “Maybe he’s a lawyer and possibly that girl is one of the river people cash arrests,” someone else theorised.
What to expect from Home and Away 2025
While we have to suffer through Home and Away not being on our screens until mid-January, there’s already quite a lot of drama to look forward to in Summer Bay for 2025.
From Mali and Abigail being spotted filming (more) kissing scenes, to Rose sadly departing and driving off into the sunset with Bree and Kirby waving her off, to the return of two fan favourites involved in a brand new River Boys storyline being filmed in Far North Queensland, there’ll be plenty of storylines to keep us hooked.
