Home and Away is not on until next year after today! Here’s why…

Strewth! Home and Away fans will have a long wait until there's more action from Summer Bay...

Home and Away fans are about to get a nasty Summer Bay shock because after today the hit Aussie soap won’t be on again until next year!

Yep, Home and Away fans are facing a lean Christmas because their favourite soap is taking a festive break after today until early 2019.

The break, which is at least a month long, will feel like forever for viewers, but it will definitely be coming back in the New Year at least.

If you’re into Aussie soaps, you’ll just have to watch Neighbours! Or, you can catch up with previous Home and Away episodes on Channel 5's catch-up site.

Home and Away, Raffy Morrison, Coco Astoni, Marilyn Chambers — Raffy feels overwhelmed when news of her epilepsy becomes public... can her friends and family help her in this evening's episode?

However, Home and Away fans do have one more episode to enjoy tonight at 6pm. It sees Raffy Morrison being bullied over her epilepsy.

Shaken by some of the nasty online comments, an emotional Raffy runs off to be by herself. But the teenager is suddenly struck by another seizure. Will her worried friends and family find her in time?

Home and Away will be on Channel 5 tonight at 6pm before taking its Christmas break. We will let you know when the soap will air again when it's been confirmed by Channel 5.
