Next week on UK television, Home and Away will introduce yet another new character to the Andrew Lawrence plot.
Tegan Osbourne, who has been separated from Andrew for a long time, is being portrayed by Sophia Forrest and travels to Summer Bay to see him.
When Justin Morgan discovers that Tegan will be coming to visit, he is terrified that the previous disaster with Vita Nova leader Margot will happen again.
A few weeks ago, Margot deceived Justin into letting Andrew go away with her by assuming the role of Andrew’s mother. Now that it has happened, Justin is determined not to allow it to happen again.
The programmes airing on Channel 5 the next week include Justin insisting that they meet for coffee before Tegan sees Andrew.
Justin is eager to confirm that Tegan is who she claims to be, but she has photographic identification and reveals herself to be a research assistant for a department of environmental science.
Tegan also has vivid recollections of her early years spent with Andrew.
Tegan admits that she will be taking Andrew away with her even though she passed Justin’s test.
This worries Justin and Leah Patterson, who would prefer for Andrew to live with them permanently.
Later, despite Justin and Leah’s reservations, Andrew interacts with Tegan. Theo Poulos forgoes getting ready for Lyrik’s upcoming recording session in order to assist him.
Tegan lists all the things she and Andrew have lost out on as a result of their extended separation, but she thinks that they can now make up for it.
Tegan agrees to remain in the Bay for a while longer to prevent any abrupt changes to Andrew’s life because Justin and Leah are still concerned that she is moving too quickly.
