CATASTROPHE AT THE MID-SUMMER PARTY: DRUGS, SECRETS & A DEVASTATING INCIDENT!
What started as Aadi Alahan’s (played by Adam Hussain) innocent midsummer party, encouraged by Bernie Winter (played by Jane Hazlegrove), rapidly spirals into a terrifying ordeal with devastating consequences. The night takes a perilous turn when Brody Michaelis (played by Ryan Mulvey) brings a bottle of LSD, openly revealing his chilling plan to profit from it. Though Dylan Wilson expresses concern, the party’s innocent facade crumbles.
Betsy Swain (played by Sydney Martin) gets dangerously distracted by Brody, Dylan, and Lauren Bolton (played by Cait Fitton), forgetting her crucial responsibility to lock up the factory as requested by Carla Connor (played by Alison King). As the party descends into chaos, Aadi heroically kicks Brody out after spotting him with the LSD, though not without a furious struggle.
However, the damage is already done. Aadi, unaware of the full peril, divides the LSD into three cups. Summer Spellman (played by Harriet Bibby) and Nina Lucas (played by Mollie Gallagher) recklessly knock back theirs, unaware of the terrifying journey they are about to embark on. When Aadi is briefly distracted by an incident upstairs, he returns to a horrifying realization: someone else has accidentally and unknowingly taken the LSD, and their condition will soon deteriorate dramatically, promising a harrowing turn of events for an innocent life.
Still reeling from their drug-induced high, Nina and Summer later let themselves into the darkened café, clinging to each other in terror as they hear the wail of sirens, desperate to piece together the fragments of what transpired. Later in the week, they’ll desperately retrace their steps, discussing the shocking incident they witnessed, and chillingly agree they have no choice but to keep their terrifying secret to themselves. The party’s repercussions are only just beginning to unfold, promising a rollercoaster of trauma for all involved.
PATERNITY BOMBSHELL: KIT GREEN CONFIRMED AS BRODY’S DAD – AND THE DEADLY REPERCUSSIONS FOR LOU!

This life-altering revelation will undoubtedly send shockwaves through Lou Michaelis’s (played by Kim Vithana) world. But the true terror lies in the past: Mick Michaelis (played by Andy Wear), Brody’s presumed father, is currently in prison for the BRUTAL MURDER of police officer Craig Tinker (played by Colson Smith). Mick’s deadly rampage was fueled by his blinding rage after learning about Lou’s affair with Kit. With Mick already having proven his violent, controlling nature, the question looms ominously: Could Lou be in GRAVE DANGER if her imprisoned, murderous husband were to ever learn the truth about Brody’s true parentage? A deadly secret now hangs over her head, threatening to unleash Mick’s wrath once more.

While Maria attempts to mask her growing concern for Liam’s sake, she secretly grapples with deep-seated worries about Gary’s true whereabouts. Given Gary’s recent history of secrets and his wife’s escalating trust issues, his unexplained disappearance could signal something far more sinister, leaving Maria haunted by unspoken fears.

Later in the week, Ronnie Bailey (played by Vinta Morgan) makes a romantic gesture, visiting Debbie with a bottle of champagne and an earnest plea for her to take him back.
