On this week’s episode of Home and Away, Theo (Matt Evans) is causing a stir in the Bay by charming the women, especially Chloe (Sam Barrett), who makes it apparent she has a boyfriend. However, Leah’s (Ada Nicodemou) nephew will continue to find ways to spend time with her despite this. When Ryder (Lukas Radovich) fails to show up to assist her with deliveries, Theo offers to help – will she take him up on his offer?
Mia (Anna Samson) realises how much difficulty Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) may be in if his shady agreement to clean the money she supplied for the gym purchase fails. Ari refuses to let her join him to the conference, so she waits at home nervously for the results. However, it appears that he will not be alone…
Meanwhile, Bella (Courtney Miller) realises that Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Dean (Patrick O’Connor) are becoming overly reliant on one another and advises that Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) return. Mackenzie ultimately gets the point and phones her brother’s girlfriend, but Dean makes it obvious that she isn’t welcome when she returns to the Bay…
Here’s what’s on tap for the week starting November 1st…

Chloe instantly corrects him, but when she wakes up the next morning, she expects Ryder to pick her up for deliveries, but he is nowhere to be seen. Will she accept Theo’s offer to assist out in his absence when he arrives in his car?
Theo receives some harsh realities from Justin and Leah
