Home and Away, Dean Thompson

Dean is not a happy camper on Home and Away when he discovers both his girlfriend Ziggy and best friend Willow have been hiding BIG secrets from him...

However, while Ziggy tries to pluck up the courage to break the bad news, little does she know but Dean has seen a message pop-up on her phone about the new job...

Dean discovers Ziggy's secret job offer on Home and Away...

Meanwhile, Ziggy is not the only one keeping secrets from Dean.

As more and more folk discover the truth about Willow Harris's (Sarah Roberts) blossoming relationship with hospital doctor, Alex Neilson (Zoe Ventoura), Willow knows it's time she told ex-boyfriend, Dean.

But given their history, Willow worries how he'll deal with the news.

Unfortunately, Dean doesn't take the news well. Not because Willow is now dating a woman but because she was too scared to tell him in the first place.

With Dean now at odds with both Ziggy and Willow, how will the surfer dude deal with his anger?
