Home and Away's Nikau Parata faces a new romantic dilemma

Is he interested in Stacey?

Next week on UK television, Nikau Parata from Home and Away must make an unusual choice regarding his love life.

Stacey Collingwood, a newbie to Summer Bay, asks Nikau out after flirting with him. Nikau is taken aback.

Recently, viewers have watched Stacey begin dating Nikau’s friend Xander Delaney.

In upcoming episodes of Channel 5, Stacey admits to Xander that she loves to date multiple men at once rather than being in monogamous partnerships.

Although first surprised by this, Xander assures Stacey that he can accept her decisions because he still wants to see her.

Stacey worries that Xander is growing too attached as they spend more time together.

When Stacey declines his invitation to go out for lunch because she has a date with someone else, Xander is even more disappointed.

Later, Stacey becomes close with Nikau, and the two of them engage in lighthearted conversation.

Nikau is shocked when Stacey unexpectedly invites him out because he knows that she is dating Xander.

The Bay’s paramedic is worried as a puzzled Nikau goes directly to Xander to explain what happened. Even while Xander is certain that Stacey has done nothing wrong, he worries that her most recent choice of man might be too personal.

Nikau is perplexed by Xander’s explanation of everything and is pleased that he is giving non-monogamy a shot.

Shortly after, Xander is furious to see Stacey flirting with Nikau once more at the beach. It is obvious that Xander is not at all handling the situation well.

While Xander suspects that it’s only a matter of time before he finds himself competing with Nikau for Stacey’s attention, Nikau soon sets his mind at rest by revealing that he has decided to turn Stacey down.

Xander is overwhelmed with relief, but he privately acknowledges that he’s not as comfortable with Stacey’s approach to dating as he has been making out.

When Xander next sees Stacey, he promises her that he won’t date anyone but her.

This revelation backfires when Stacey accuses Xander of guilt-tripping her into an exclusive relationship. Are the pair about to hit the rocks?
