This year’s final episode of Home and Away will air on UK screens on Friday 5th December.

Each year, Home and Away takes a break in both Australia and the UK, with the final episode typically airing in late November before the show returns to both countries in early January.

Channel 5 have now confirmed that this year’s final episode will be Episode 8600, which will air in the UK on Friday 5th December.

The show was originally scheduled to end two weeks earlier, on Friday 21st November, but the run has now been extended until the beginning of December.

The original ‘UK finale’ episode would have centred around the wedding of Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) and Eden (Stephanie Panozzo), as the pair finally tie the knot after years of will-they-won’t-they’.

The episode also sees Theo (Matt Evans) with his life on the line after being hit by the car of Councillor Craig Wendell (Justin Smith).

Councillor Wendell is the man believed to have been responsible for the death of Jo (Maddison Brown) and Lacey’s (Sophea Pennington) mum, Kristina, and Lacey makes it her mission to bring him down – with disastrous consequences.

 

While UK viewers would have originally had to wait until 2026 to learn Theo’s fate, they will now find out whether he survives either on Friday 21st November as part of 5STAR’s ‘First Look,’ or on Monday 24th November on Channel 5.

The date of the Australian Season Finale hasn’t yet been confirmed, but it is expected to air in late November.
