Alf Stewart, a fan favourite from Home and Away, will this week seek assistance for his hearing issues.
Alf had already informed John that he was having hearing problems, but John was immediately advised to leave him alone.
Justin Morgan also visits Alf and tries to persuade him to seek out assistance for his hearing in scenes that will air in the upcoming days down under (via TV Week).
Despite his initial denial, Alf eventually concedes that he might require medical attention and resolves to leave the Surf Club immediately.
Dr. Bree Cameron is visited by a stunned Justin, who eventually persuades her to speak with Alf. Alf grudgingly agrees to some tests on her recommendation, and the results show that he may require hearing aids.
Alf admits to feeling completely useless and loses a lot of confidence, but Marilyn Chambers assures him that she will be there to assist him.
Irene Roberts is delighted that someone answered to her advertisement for her spare room this week because she has been feeling lonely ever since John moved away.
On a long vacation, she meets Harper, a social worker, and they click. While observing their relationship, John may be seen to be worried.
If so, what is Harper’s deal, and is he right to be suspicious?
As suggested by Jessica Redmayne and Ally Harris, who play Harper and Dana, respectively, the soap is keeping Harper’s past a secret, but she and her sister Dana are likely to shake things up a bit.
