Impressionable teen Ryder (Lukas Radovich) fell for the charms of Jade (Mia Morrissey) on Home and Away – only to realise the backpacker was not as she seemed.

A vindictive Jade then turned the tables on him, claiming he had posted a sex tape on social media.
Now, facing cyber exploitation charges, Ryder is at a complete loss. “His world has come crashing down and he doesn’t know what to do,” says Lukas. “He’s never gone through anything like this before and feels that no-one can possibly understand what he’s feeling.”
Indeed, while Roo (Georgie Parker) urges Ryder to tell Alf about the charges before someone else does, Ryder can’t bring himself to do so.
Instead, he heads to the beach where he runs into Jade – and ends up in a heated argument with her and newcomer Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), who appears to have taken a liking to Jade.
Before long, Ryder is brawling with Nikau – and things don’t go well for the embattled teenager!
Will Ryder be able to prove his innocence? Or will Jade’s vindictive plan ruin the teen’s life forever?
“Let’s just say that Ryder has a huge fight on his hands trying to clear his name,” reveals Lukas.
And that’s not all, hints Lukas, who reveals: “Someone could be coming to the Bay this year who has a strong connection to Ryder’s past and could really shake up his world.” Stay tuned!
