The 26-year-old actor, who plays Theo Poulos in the long-running soap, announced his music debut this week, tellingThe Daily Telegraphhis first official song is about a bad break-up that ended in gaslighting. While fans of the show in Australia have written on social media about their disappointment and confusion over the missing moments, Channel Seven said it accidentally aired the wrong versions of two episodes in Australia. Since 2000, Home and Away has ceased broadcast mid-season for two weeks during the Olympic Games and the episode to screen prior to this is referred to as an 'Olympic cliffhanger'.

"It kind of feels like they prepared two different versions, so they had a version they could pull the plug on that couple if it didn't go well, but they got a good reaction from the audience," she said. "That edited version really downplays their relationship," Ms Shillington said. She said fans did not understand why the Australian audience did not see the full scenes between Alex and Willow.
Following two warm-up matches, England play a day-night Test against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui on February before a second Test in Wellington on February 24-28. "I mean, Home and Away still rates really highly, but that model of broadcast is really fighting for its life so it doesn't surprise me in some way that there is a feeling of needing to pander to the broadest possible demographic."
