This week on Home And Away, after seeking out police officer Cash’s (Nicholas Cartwright) help to track her down, Alf (Ray Meagher) is furious when Cash insists Marilyn (Emily Symons) doesn’t want to be contacted, and he won’t

reveal where she is.

“Alf is devastated,” Ray Meagher, 78, tells TV WEEK. “He feels that had she told him the truth from the start, they wouldn’t have had all these problems.

Having said that, he would accept her back as a dear friend immediately. Their relationship has always been very, very good.”

Alf just can’t accept Cash’s decision.

“This isn’t like Cash is saying where the crown jewels are, or ‘I know where the body is hidden and I’m not going to tell you’ – it’s Marilyn!” Ray explains.

Feeling protective of his friend, and frustrated, Alf’s anger gets the better of him and he lunges at Cash. But his outburst doesn’t last long before his ongoing heart condition plays up, forcing him to simmer down.

Thankfully, his daughter Roo (Georgie Parker) and Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) step in, calmly asking Cash for just a little bit of information. Eventually, Cash reveals that Marilyn is volunteering at a youth shelter in the city.

When the friends arrive they find Marilyn, desperate to atone for her past. She feels guilty she gave up her baby daughter Heather (Sofia Nolan) nearly 30 years ago and now she’s helping other wayward youth.

A headstrong Marilyn insists she’s not coming back to the Bay, but Roo and Nikau point out that here she’s surrounded by strangers – they couldn’t possibly understand the trauma she’s gone through.

Can they convince her to come back home where she belongs?
