In the upcoming months, Home and Away will feature more car-related drama as at least one Summer Bay resident gets involved in a serious collision that could be included in the season finale this year.
Today, a photo of the show’s crew recording dramatic sequences on another “away” shoot in Blayney, Central West NSW, around 240 kilometres west of Sydney, surfaced online.
A nearby resident posted a picture of the scene on social media, showing a smashed car resting beneath a tree surrounded by workers.
Using “special effects of fire and smoke, and prop emergency vehicles,” local residents were forewarned in a letter dropped at their homes.
When contacted for comment by neighbourhood newspaper the Blayney Chronicle, Seven confirmed: “Home and Away is currently filming some location scenes in lovely Blayney and its surroundings.
These scenes will appear in episodes that will air on Channel 7 and 7Plus at a later time.
Despite the fact that no cast members are visible in the picture, we can confirm that Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) is the rightful owner of the vehicle!
It is unknown if Leah is in the vehicle, if her boyfriend Justin (James Stewart) might be borrowing it, or even if their road trip puts them in danger.
However, since Matt Evans was seen filming scenes in Palm Beach this week, nephew Theo appears to be secure.
Even though the time between episodes fluctuates throughout the year, episodes of Home and Away are usually shot 4-5 months before they premiere in Australia. However, considering the season, it’s quite likely that these sequences will appear in the 2023 season return weeks or the season finale this year.
The most recent significant automobile accident, which aired as the mid-season cliffhanger prior to the Olympics last year, will undoubtedly still be vivid in viewers’ minds.
Location shooting for the accident took place near Wee Jasper, northwest of Canberra, as Dean’s (Patrick O’Connor) and Mia’s (Anna Samson) car left the road while they were picking up Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) from a distant town.
Mia (Harley Bonner) and Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) sadly lost their much-desired child in the plot, and Logan Bennett (Harley Bonner) was also introduced. Logan Bennett made a dramatic helicopter entrance as a member of the emergency rescue squad.
The consequences of the vehicle accident this year are still unknown, but we’ll learn more about them in the months to come.
Leah last had a significant role in a season finale in 2015, when Charlotte King (Erika Heynatz) interrupted her wedding to Zac MacGuire (Charlie Clausen), only hours before Charlotte was shot by an unknown assailant, sparking a whodunnit plot that lasted well into the 2016 season.
An other new character, who appears to be one of the gym’s newest staff, has been glimpsed during this week’s less dramatic filming in Palm Beach.
Maleeka Gasbarri, an actor, has been spotted filming over the past two months while working out on the beach while wearing a Summer Bay Fit uniform. Yesterday’s filming gave fans on Celebtime’s Home and Away tour the opportunity to take pictures with Maleeka.
identity is currently unknown (Luke Van Os).
Xander is presently seeking assistance for the stress he is experiencing in his paramedic work, and viewers are also learning that his half-sister Jasmine (Sam Frost) will not be coming back to Summer Bay.
Could Xander find happiness in the near future?
Kawa as Nikau, who fans will be happy to discover was back in his lifeguard outfit after last night’s episode saw him facing losing his job as the paid lifeguard at the surf club, was also present during the filming.
Kirsty Marillier, who plays Rose in the episodes showing over the coming week, was taking pictures with fans alongside fan favourite Shane Withington (John), providing an answer to the question of whether Rose decides to stay in Summer Bay.
The final few weeks of this year or the beginning of 2023 are also likely when these sequences will show.
The actual air date for this year’s season finale won’t be known until much closer to the event, but in previous years it has typically occurred in the last few weeks of November.
