Home and Away fans were divided over Xander Delaney’s actions after he headed out for a surf and collapsed just weeks after he was left in hospital following an ambush
Following his vicious attack, Xander Delaney (Luke Van Os)’s dubious behavior split Home and Away fans.
A bunch of thugs assaulted Xander and his colleague, Jamie, just a few weeks earlier while they were searching their ambulance for drugs.
Xander suffered critical injuries in the horrifying attack and is currently in the hospital, while Jamie tragically passed away.
Despite the advice of his sister, Dr. Bree Cameron (Juliet Godwin), and Rose Delaney (Kirsty Marillier), Xander disregarded their requests to ease up.
Despite having surgical stitches, Xander overcame the discomfort and went surfing for the first time since the incident.
One fan was perplexed as to why he took the decision after posting screenshots of Xander surfing while sporting a bandage to a Home and Away fan website.
The fan wrote: “Xander, surfing with a nice attractive tasty wound on your tummy is not a good idea when the surf beach has had known shark attacks in the past.”
Fans were divided over the incident; some thought the former paramedic should have known better than to surf while still wounded, while others were quick to point out that the soap opera is totally fictional.
“You would think Xander would have more sense as he is in the ambos,” said one admirer. He would undoubtedly be knowledgeable in first aid for cuts and wounds.
Someone another commented: “Not liking this storyline with Xander actually or his character in Home and Away.”
“Omg it’s fake, how are sharks gonna attack him? So many people have nothing better in their lives than to think TV shows are real,’ another person chipped in.
On Friday (June 16), Xander paid the price for his actions as he collapsed on the beach in pain while clutching his side.
As Mali rushed to his side, fans were left wondering whether the character will be OK.
