Dana and Xander’s romance on Home and Away has been alluded to, but it doesn’t seem like things will go well for them.
Dana (Ally Harris) has been encouraging her sister Harper (Jessica Redmayne) to date again in recent Australian episodes. Harper found out that her ex-fiance had subsequently gotten married and had a child with his new girlfriend.
After learning that Harper had abandoned her then-fiance to care for Dana, she spent the anniversary of what was supposed to be her wedding day lusting after her former and scrolling through his social media accounts.
Dana attempted to pair Harper and Xander (Luke Van Os) after feeling bad about her role in their breakup and persuading Xander to bring Harper to the “Moonlight at Salt” event he was planning.
It’s a good thing the two understood right away that they weren’t a good fit because Dana soon discovered she was crushing on Xander.
She told Irene (Lynne McGranger) that she had a crush on someone, but she didn’t tell anyone who they were.
Dana’s attitude towards Xander changed in tonight’s Australian episodes once she became aware of her sentiments; Xander’s sister Rose (Kirsty Marillier) noticed this right away.
“Do you think my brother is cute?” Rose, still unable to help herself from interfering in her brother’s romantic life, exclaimed as she walked up to Dana.
Dana implored Rose to keep the revelation to herself, but Rose stunned her by admitting that her crush was “that obvious.”
The news won’t be a secret for long, as evidenced by a recent promo in which Irene observes the two amusingly conversing at the coffee cart.
Irene informs Harper, “He’s the one that Dana’s got the crush on,” to which Harper responds, “Wait, what?”
Word is getting out quickly—Harper was unaware that her sister had a crush on anyone!
Harper gives encouragement to her sister, asking her to “be brave and tell Xander how you feel.”
After Dana appears to heed her sister’s advise, Xander and Dana are shown together in Salt in another scene from the teaser.
We won’t believe it until we see it because Home and Away’s ads are notorious for tricking us with phrases taken out of context, but we see Dana saying Xander, “I think we can be something more.”
Has she actually told Xander how she feels?
Regretfully, it seems that Xander finds out about Dana’s emotions sooner rather than later, as teasers for Thursday, February 22nd, next week pose the question, “Has Xander lost a friend?” soon after “Dana risks everything for her heart.”
Does this mean that Xander doesn’t feel the same way, endangering his connection with Dana?
Fortunately, despite Xander’s initial hesitancy, we know that the two do eventually hook up because actors Luke Van Os and Ally Harris have been sighted filming scenes in which they get intimate.
Pictures obtained at Palm Beach in mid-November by fan Danielle Stevens showed Luke and Ally filming a scene where Xander walks up to Dana and sits next to her before they kiss.

I’m hoping that this relationship will work out better than Xander’s past relationships.
Last year, he had a brief romantic engagement with the guest character Stacey (Maleeka Gasbarri). However, Stacey’s aspirations for a polyamorous relationship caused tension between them, which culminated in Rose (Kirsty Marillier) discovering Stacey having an extramarital affair with her brother in a steamy automobile.
Hopefully, Dana’s new romance will be more successful than her previous one, which landed her in legal trouble and forced her to run for her life.
Dana, a newbie, has not only developed a new romance but also secured a new job.
Dana Matheson, who recently earned her Bronze Medallion, is destined to become a volunteer survivor, which will force her to deal with John Palmer (Shane Withington).
Ally Harris was spotted in moments where she dashed into John’s beloved Can-Am, which had its lights flashing, in photos and videos that fan Michelle Matthews captured in early November while she was dressed in her lifesaver outfit.
Dana was exonerated of the drug charges she was facing when she first came to Summer Bay, and she recently started working as a nurse at Northern Districts Hospital.
Dana wanted to give back to the community after the residents’ compassion throughout her battle to clear her reputation, so she enrolled in the surf club’s training sessions under John’s guidance.
Dana is expected to start performing lifesaving tasks in addition to her hospital shifts now that she is wearing a uniform.
