Home and Away has confirmed Roo Stewart’s fate – just as David Langham makes a risky move to crack the missing person’s case.
The show recently raised the possibility that Roo could be dead after she went missing while driving home to Summer Bay.
The situation appeared bleak when a body was found in the boot of Roo’s burnt-out car. However, this week’s episodes in Australia reveal that Roo is very much alive – but she’s certainly not out of the woods yet…
TV Week reports that Roo is alone in the bush, hungry and fighting for survival.
She tries to keep herself warm next to a makeshift fire, but is living in fear as she worries that the person who attacked her could be nearby.
Back in the Bay, Alf refuses to accept that his beloved daughter is gone until he receives cast-iron proof. Sadly, his optimism isn’t shared by the local police force, who have called off the search for Roo due to the lack of leads.
Police sergeant David is blocked from any further active investigation. However, sympathising with Alf’s plight, he decides to search on his own in the hope of finding a new clue.
Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, who plays David, told the magazine: “Alf and David have a mutual respect and a genuine friendship.
“Both are stoic men, hard on the outside but, when it comes to their daughters, they are gentle and loving and devoted.
“As Alf’s fears and frustrations grow, so does his temper towards David and his inability to find his daughter. David understands and sympathises. He feels the pressure of letting down a mate.”
He added: “[David] prides himself on being a great cop. His personality won’t allow this feeling to remain for long.”
Could David be the one who tracks down Roo and brings her home? Or could he be too late?
