Harper is at Beau’s mercy in Home and Away this week after he exposed his true colours to her in a fit of rage.
What do you do when the person you love turns out to be the person you fear the most? Will Harper flee his grip to find help?
An act of violence
In emotional scenes, Harper (Jessica Redmayne) is shaking like a leaf. She and Beau have just arrived home from Dana (Ally Harris) and Sonny’s (Ryan Bown) engagement party, but Beau is furious. He wanted time alone together, but Harper wanted to be there for her sister. In a rage, Beau (Blake Richardson) lashed out and slapped her face.
“In this moment of violence Harper is shell-shocked and her first point of action is to get Archie and escape from the grips of Beau and his violent turn,” Jessica tells TV WEEK. “She finally realises Beau isn’t who he has made himself out to be.”
Beau is immediately apologetic, claiming his violent upbringing caused him to act poorly. But Harper, who also had a difficult childhood, can’t justify that as an excuse and leaves to collect Archie from Tane (Ethan Browne).
However, when she arrives, instincts kick in and she asks Tane to keep Archie for a little longer. But will she explain why?
Will Remi send Sonny to jail?
Meanwhile, Remi (Adam Rowland) is adamant that Sonny tells Dana the truth. If he won’t, Remi’s going to the cops. But Sonny is spiralling so fast that he can’t think straight. Remi decides to take action and informs Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) that Beau is selling steroids from the gym – but he stops short of implicating Sonny.
“Sonny falls deeper into a world he doesn’t want to be in, and the pressure of this life and this lie truly eat him up every day,” Ryan explains.
With a warrant in hand, Cash arrives at the gym and apologises to owner Tane for what’s about to occur. Beau is taken down to the station and Harper, falling for his manipulation, goes to support him.
Why? And is he going to hurt her again?
