Coming up next week on Home and Away in the UK, Lyrik are here to stay as they move into the old Braxton house, whilst Marilyn deceives Roo…
This week, Eden (Stephanie Panozzo), Remi (Adam Rowland), and Kirby (Angelina Thomson) eventually move into the former Braxton residence, realising their goal of establishing themselves in Summer Bay.
Since being awarded a regular gig at Salt, the band has been residing in the Parata home with their old friend Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) for the past few weeks.
Although the other three members of the band were enthusiastic about having a steady income, lead vocalist Bob (Rob Mallett) hastily left the band because he believed that a “hick” town like Summer Bay would limit his abilities. This left Lyrik scrambling to find a replacement.
One crisis had been avoided thanks to Theo Poulos (Matt Evans), and everything was starting to fall into place until Eden noticed that 55 Saxon Avenue had gone up for rent. She immediately made a call to the real estate agent.
John (Shane Palmer), the neighbour next door, was overjoyed when he saw the sign for himself; the house has been occupied by hippies for the previous few years, and he has taken note of the odd music and odd odours coming from over the garden fence.

However, Eden and Remi are unaware of another situation that may jeopardise the band’s stability.
Kirby and Theo are excited from playing their first “away” show the day before, and as they jam and write songs all night, they start to bond. The two are thrilled with what a terrific team they’ve become when they eventually play their newly finished song through to the end, and they unexpectedly find themselves kissing.

Eden and Remi soon establish some new ground rules when Kirby and Theo come home, the first of which is that there should be no dating within the band. Although Theo doesn’t understand what the big deal is, Kirby realises that they have been caught, and he unwillingly accedes to their demand. nevertheless, how long?
John, who is anticipating meeting his new neighbours, buys a sizable basket of muffins from the café to welcome them to the neighbourhood. When Marilyn (Emily Symons) butts in, Justin (James Stewart) is about to reveal who the new occupants are. She obviously believes it will be far more entertaining for John to find out on his own.
Armed with his muffins and plenty of Neighbourhood Watch leaflets to hand out, John knocks on the door…. and is stunned when Eden answers.
He initially believes the band is squatting in the empty home, but when he realises they are indeed his new neighbours, he is left speechless. How will he handle them next door when their music is even louder than it already is across the street?
Eden must leave quickly for work, but she is pleased to have John over so Remi may get to know his new neighbour.
Whilst the house at 55 Saxon Avenue is largely known by Home and Away fans of the past ten years as the ‘Braxton House’, its history in the show actually stretches right back to 1998.
Initially, it served as the residence of the visitor characters Sean Ellis and Daria, who Sam Marshall fell in love with after witnessing her on his paper route.
The house was then occupied by James Fraser, who brought in a variety of people throughout the ensuing years, including Sally, Harry, Shauna, Vinnie, Leah, Jude, and Charlotte.
The house eventually became the marital home of Sally and Flynn, with an annexe built opposite the front door following their wedding in 2003, to house a doctor’s surgery for Flynn.
In order to move into Summer Bay House, Sally and Flynn later exchanged homes with Beth Hunter and her kids, Robbie, Henry, and Matilda.
When Beth later got together with Tony Holden and he moved in with sons Jack and Lucas, the annexe was converted into more living space.

After Beth passed away, the Hunter children received an equal portion of the property’s ownership, and Tony stayed there until he eventually moved out with his third wife Rachel and their infant son Harry.
The Share House, as it was now affectionately referred to by the show’s creators, went through a number of occupants over the ensuing years, including Angelo, Charlie, and Ruby, before the Braxtons finally moved in in 2011.
Up to Ricky’s eventual departure and the recent return of Brax in 2016, the various members of the family, along with people like Ricky, Josh, Andy, Phoebe, and Nate, alternated between the house and annexe.
Six years later, when the house makes a second appearance on the show, the interior has undergone various changes and the annexe appears to have vanished.
Walls dividing the living area from the kitchen and a portion of the hallway have been taken down, creating more space. Renovations have been made to the area around the back entrance, and a new door has also been added at the other end of the kitchen.
Of course, as the show has used four distinct filming locations since its initial appearance in 1998, the house also looks different from the exterior. These most latest iterations of the Palmer house next door and the Share house were released in 2013.
Roo (Georgie Parker) isn’t having much success with her most recent endeavour elsewhere in Summer Bay. Roo has decided to market her services as a private tutor after deciding she needed a new goal, but her poster in the diner hasn’t drawn much interest yet.
After deciding to modify the advertisement, Roo is thrilled to see that one of the tabs bearing her phone number has already been torn off. Later, when Leah (Ada Nicodemou) inquires about calls, Roo replies that she hasn’t, wondering if the prospective pupil has changed their mind.
Marilyn is pleased that her bestie’s confidence is growing, but what will happen if Roo discovers her subterfuge?
