John Palmer of Home and Away will have a difficult time resigning next week since his replacement at the Surf Club falls short of his standards.
A significant shift in John’s life occurred when he angered the son of a major sponsor during a teaching session, leading to his resignation from the club.
In scenes that will premiere on Channel 5 in the UK the following week, John appears to be enjoying life after resigning from his role as Surf Club Manager as he lounges on the beach.
Dana Matheson is dismayed to learn that the Bronze Medallion classes are put on indefinite pause, but Alf Stewart refuses to accept John’s resignation. Marilyn Chambers also makes an attempt to reason with John, but she is unsuccessful.
Later, after learning about Banjo, the son of Henderson, making a complaint, Dana devises a solution, with Alf enlightening her of Henderson’s sponsorship.
Dana makes the decision to give Banjo a call herself and requests that he drop the complaint, but will she be able to affect John’s fate in any way?
Dana quickly carries out her strategy by asking Banjo to the Diner for a meeting. Although Banjo acknowledges that he told his father about John, Dana soon discovers that Banjo believes he is going on a date with her.
Dana, who is upset over the whole thing, corrects him by saying that she asked him to talk about John and that she would like to know if he would think about taking his complaint back.
Even though Banjo feels wounded, Dana finally manages to connect with him. Banjo discloses that he has already requested his father to remove the complaint following John’s apology, but his father refuses to comply.
Mali Hudson, meanwhile, has been working nonstop to cover for John at the Juice Bar all day. The next day, when he offers his services once more, Alf declines.
Dana then gives Alf the information she has discovered regarding Banjo and the Hendersons, putting the president of the Surf Club in a difficult situation.
Alf is made aware of the obvious by Irene Roberts: he has far too much on his plate. Alf makes the decision to be forthright with Irene, informing her that he will need to fill John’s position and that he will post the job.
Because of John’s absence, Alf has been overworked and the Juice Bar has had to close. Roo Stewart provides a solution: she will cover for John until he decides to go back to work.
John is unhappy to learn that he has been replaced in his previous position by someone who is not qualified for it, but Alf is appreciative of her assistance and puts her to work right away.
John leads Roo to a binder that contains all of the Surf Club’s secrets, despite his irritations with the Committee.
When will John return to the Surf Club?
