Home & Away local's life in peril in season finale

Home and Away star Dan Ewing has revealed that Jamie Sharpe and his dad Adam will create the year's cliffhanger finale. Advance spoilers for the Australian soap have shown that one unlucky Summer Bay resident's life will hang in the balance after being attacked at sea by Jamie (Hugo Johnstone-Burt), on orders from his father (played by Martin Lynes). Adam - a former mentor of Darryl 'Brax' Braxton - is not to be trusted, according to Dan, who plays Brax's brother Heath. He told Australia's TV Week: "Revenge is definitely on the cards and a guy like Adam has the means to do it. He's not a guy you want to mess with." Details about the storyline are being kept secret, and Home and Away bosses are staying tight-lipped over whether an innocent person could become Jamie's victim when the Sharpes' plans go awry. Steve Peacocke, who plays Brax, added: "It's a really cool cliffhanger. It was one of the few weeks that I went to the producers and asked for the next week's scripts because I wanted to know what happened." The season finale screens on November 28 in Australia and will be shown in mid-February on Channel 5 in the UK.
