Kirby’s album launch is finally here. But as the red carpet rolls out for the singer and her adoring fans, one person is missing: Remi.
In recent episodes of Home And Away, Remi (Adam Rowland) has struggled with the work involved in producing albums for both Kirby and Avalon. So, he turned to Avalon (Gemma Dart), who offered him pills to help “get through”. But this week, the side effects are causing more harm than good – especially when he has Kirby’s recording and he’s nowhere to be found.
“Remi has such a small window of time to finish the album and the only way he thinks he can do that is with stimulants to keep him awake,” Adam tells TV WEEK.
Determined for the event to go smoothly, Justin (James Stewart) doesn’t let slip that Remi is missing and ushers in the guest of honour. The turnout is more than they expected thanks to a shout-out from pop sensation Avalon, and Kirby laps it up, posing for the cameras. Meanwhile, Sonny ticks off the guest list, which includes three producers from Melbourne who heard about the launch.
After several calls, Remi finally answers his phone, barely keeping his eyes open after pulling an all-nighter to finish the recording. But he quickly tires of Justin’s demands and hangs up, before collapsing on the bed!
“He sees this as a short-term solution and no-one needs to know,” Adam says of Remi’s desperate choices to pursue his passions. “[He believes] it won’t be a problem.”
Meanwhile at the launch, Remi’s girlfriend, Bree (Juliet Godwin), shares her worries with Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) and Dana (Ally Harris). Overhearing their conversation, Justin orders Sonny (Ryan Bown) to find Remi – now.
Arriving at his house a short time later, Sonny finds his friend crashed out on the bed with an empty sachet of drugs next to him. What has he done?

Still in recovery from his near-fatal assault at the hands of the River Boys, Theo is targeted once again this week. Will he be OK?
Loved-up and looking to move on with their lives, Theo (Matt Evans) tells Lacey (Sophea Pennington) he’s ready to sell his car and the bad memories that come with it.
“Theo has definitely been through a lot with the River Boys and I think it has made him stronger and only solidified his feelings for Lacey,” Matt explains.
His car ad is quick to attract buyers, with the highest bidder wanting to pay in cash. Lacey is suspicious, but Theo, eager to be rid of debt, makes the deal.
But what seems an easy transaction is anything but when he’s jumped on his way to the bank. With one punch, Theo is knocked out cold and the backpack of cash stolen. Ouch!
