Home and Away Reveals Eliza’s Sinister Threat to Marilyn – Lives Could Be in Danger. Why Eliza Targeted Her
There was relief last week as Tim (George Pullar) finally woke up from his coma, two weeks after being attacked by obsessive ex-client Nerida (Ellie Gall).
Tim’s girlfriend Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) has barely left his bedside since the attack, willing for him to wake up.
However, rather than longing for the love of her life to regain consciousness so they could be together, Eden was forced to admit to sister Abigail (Hailey Pinto) that she was hoping Tim could clear Cash’s (Nicholas Cartwright) name, who is currently prime suspect for the attack.
Indeed the last conversation that Tim and Eden had that fateful day was his realising that Eden was still in love with Cash. Tim had stormed off, and later ran into Cash who had come to the island retreat worried that Nerida would come after Eden.
Whilst Cash was correct in that Nerida had made her way to the estate, it was he and Tim who ended up being clobbered over the head, with Cash waking up in the grounds next to Tim’s unconscious body the next morning.
Lead investigator, Detective Sergeant Mark Townsend (Craig Hall) believe it’s an open and shut case—Cash was seen arguing with Tim shortly before the attack, so he’s the guilty party.
Although Cash’s memory of the incident has since returned, confirming it was indeed Nerida responsible, there is currently no proof to back him up.
As a last resort, Cash arranged to meet with Nerida and made a deal—if she promised to stay away from Eden and Tim, he wouldn’t fight the charges and would take the fall.
Cash’s foster father Gary (Peter Phelps), who returned to the bay after hearing about Cash’s predicament from John (Shane Withington), couldn’t understand why Cash was not putting up more of a fight.
A police sergeant himself, Gary teamed up with Rose (Kirsty Marillier) to continue an investigation behind Townsend’s back, hoping to prove Cash’s innocence, and was horrified when Cash eventually admitted to him that he had made the deal with Nerida.
