Home and Away Spoilers: Martin 'Ash' Ashford leaves Summer Bay

Martin 'Ash' Ashford

Ash decides it's time to put the painful memories of Kat and their unborn baby behind him and says goodbye to Summer Bay...

Dean begins to fear he has pushed Ash too far, as his friend continues to suffer with painful memories of ex-girlfriend Kat and their unborn baby and his hatred for Robbo, who he still blames for the tragedy.

After Dean confides in Ash about the car accident that almost killed him and his sessions with a therapist, Ash realises it is time to put some distance between him and the painful memories back in the Bay. So after a surprise phone call to old friend Irene, Ash decides to hit the road...

Elsewhere, Maggie's hair continues to fall out after the chemotherapy and she fears for the future. But she puts on a brave face for hubby Ben who is about to begin his new job to support his family.

And Justin is still puzzled by Willow's sudden decision to break-up with him. But she's doing her best to avoid him. Has she really given up on them so easily?

Home and Away continues weekdays at 1:15pm and 6:30pm on Channel 5

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
