Big sad News : Home and Away star Jessica Redmayne opens up on her mum’s emotional health battle.

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, in the season finale for 2024, Cash comes face-to-face with the recipient of Felicity’s organs, while Alf’s life is on the line.

Note: If you watch the lunchtime airings on Channel 5, these are now showing at the earlier time of 1pm for the final two weeks of the season.

As Home and Away draws to a close this year, Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) is drawn into murky ethical territory as he arranges to meet the young woman who received late sister Felicity’s (Jacqui Purvis) heart and lungs.

As a grief-stricken Cash sat at a clinically dead Flick’s bedside, then-fiancee Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) had helped him make the decision to donate Flick’s organs.

“When I think about her heart beating in someone else, someone who can dance and love… someone who can maybe torment their big brother… that sounds pretty good to me,” Eden suggested.

Cash agreed and the forms were signed. A month on, Cash was thrown to receive a letter via the organ donation organisation from one of the recipients. Whilst he was under no obligation to read it, as the organisation explained, Cash decided to do so with John (Shane Withington) there to support him.

The woman, who had spent her life living with a heart defect, expressed her gratitude for receiving Flick’s heart and lungs. This life-saving gift had afforded her the opportunity to live life to its fullest.

Cash was keen to write back, though as John pointed out, the rules were clear that it would have to remain anonymous. After writing back, Cash received a further response where the lady expressed her desire to meet in person.

Cash initially tried to convince Rose to make up a police case and contact the company asking for her name. But he then stumbled across an online forum.

After posting a message, he received a reply from Michelle (Mercy Cornwall), who explained that she had received a heart and lung transplant on the day of Flick’s passing. It seemed they had a match.

Tane (Ethan Browne) made it clear that he didn’t want anything to do with Cash’s plan, with John also expressing his unease, but next week Cash receives confirmation from Michelle that she would indeed like to meet him.

After hearing from John about what’s going on, Remi (Adam Rowland) talks to Cash, questioning whether he’s considered the potential consequences of meeting Michelle. What will he say? What does he hope to gain from this encounter? But Cash is adamant, insisting that this is all he’s thought about since receiving Michelle’s first letter.

To clear his head, Cash goes for a run. However, the painful memories of his final moments with Felicity, leading up to her organ donation, flood his mind.

Overwhelmed, he begins to have a panic attack. John finds him outside the surf club and helps him calm down, advising him to focus on his breath and work through his emotions.

Cash considers that maybe John and Remi were right after all, but before he can call off the meeting he gets a message from Michelle, who is already on her way to Summer Bay!

Remi and Kirby (Angelina Thomson) are tasked with keeping Eden away from Cash’s place, unsure of how she would react, as Cash nervously awaits Michelle’s arrival.

When she does arrive, there’s an instant connection between the two, as Michelle tearfully says thank you and embraces Cash.

Cash ushers Michelle inside where, grateful for his hospitality, she expresses a desire to learn more about Felicity, and together they look through Felicity’s photo album.

Cash asks Michelle if she likes to dance like Flick did, but she honestly doesn’t know. Strenuous physical activity has always been out-of-bounds for her, and for the past two years she has been confined to a wheelchair.
