Summer Bay is ablaze with gossip after Home and Away star Jessica Redmayne made headlines by openly admitting she harbors feelings for her co-star Ethan, sending the show’s fanbase into

a frenzy. The revelation has left viewers and insiders questioning how this real-life drama might spill over into the show’s storylines — and more importantly, what Ethan’s wife thinks about the scandalous confession.

Jessica, who plays the fiery and determined Lila Thompson, revealed her feelings during a recent live Q&A with fans. In front of thousands of viewers, she admitted, “

I can’t deny it… there’s something about Ethan that just pulls me in. He’s incredible to work with, and I admire him more than I can explain.” Her words, though carefully measured, were enough to spark rumors of a possible off-screen romance that could rival any plotline in Summer Bay.

Ethan, known for his role as the charismatic and level-headed Dr. Lucas Reid, has been a fan favorite since joining the show. While he maintains a professional relationship with his castmates, insiders say Jessica’s admiration has not gone unnoticed. On set, sources claim there have been “intense rehearsals and lingering looks” during emotionally charged scenes — moments that have only added fuel to speculation.

The most pressing question for fans, of course, is Ethan’s wife, Amelia. The actress has largely stayed silent, choosing discretion over drama. Yet close sources suggest she is aware of Jessica’s comments and has confronted Ethan privately. “Amelia is hurt, naturally,” a source close to the couple told SHOCK HOT. “But she’s also pragmatic. She knows that on-set chemistry can blur lines, and she’s keeping an eye on the situation without making a public spectacle.”

For Jessica, the confession seems rooted more in admiration and respect than a literal pursuit. “I just think he’s an amazing actor and an amazing person,” she explained during the live Q&A, though fans weren’t entirely convinced. The combination of charm, intensity, and on-screen intimacy has sparked endless speculation about whether this could lead to something more off-screen — or if it’s just another example of Hollywood emotions running high under bright studio lights.

Meanwhile, production insiders hint that the real-life tension might subtly influence upcoming storylines. Rumor has it that writers are considering a plot twist involving unspoken feelings, love triangles, and secrets that threaten to upend relationships — mirroring the drama happening behind the cameras. Could Jessica and Ethan’s on-set chemistry be shaping Summer Bay’s next explosive narrative? Fans are watching closely to find out.

Regardless of the truth behind the headlines, one thing is certain: the Summer Bay set is buzzing. Between red-carpet appearances, intense scenes, and now real-life emotional revelations, the stakes for Jessica, Ethan, and their colleagues have never been higher. And with Amelia’s quiet but watchful presence, the story of admiration, boundaries, and temptation is far from over.

As Summer Bay continues filming, viewers can only wait and wonder: will Jessica’s feelings remain in the realm of confession, or will they ignite a scandal that changes the show forever? One thing’s for sure — this is the kind of behind-the-scenes drama that fans live for.
