Exam time can be stressful for many students – and Summer Bay teen Ryder (Lukas Radovich) is no exception. But Ryder finds himself facing one of the biggest dilemmas of his life when classmate Blake (Tom Wilson) approaches him with a shocking plan.

Blake asks Ryder to join him and his mates in their ‘cheat squad’, with the plan being to secretly swap exam papers.

Before Ryder has a chance to give Blake his answer, however, Blake reveals he’s come up with yet another idea – and this one is truly shocking.

Blake wants Ryder to help him drug the exam supervisor with sleeping pills!

What will Ryder say?

Home and Away

It’s just the latest drama to erupt in Summer Bay this week.

Mortified after last week catching Bella (Courtney Miller) on the verge of setting Salt alight, Willow (Sarah Roberts) and Dean (Patrick O’Connor) now demand answers from the deeply troubled teen.

But Bella, who has certainly had a hugely traumatic year, is staunchly unrepentant. She wanted to hurt Mackenzie (Emily Weir), she reveals, for breaking the heart of Colby (Tim Franklin), Bella’s older brother.

“As we know very well by now, Bella is not the best at thinking things over,” says her portrayer, Courtney.

“Bella sees Mackenzie as a threat and will go to any extreme to get revenge.”

Meanwhile, after another attempt to talk reason with Bella goes nowhere fast, Willow and Dean fear the teen’s vengeful streak
is far from over.

“Not even Willow or Dean can help Bella see the danger in her actions,” says Courtney.
