In a shocking and emotional storyline from Home and Away, Tane Parata finds his world turned upside down as Harper Mathis not only calls off their wedding at the last minute but also threatens to block him from being part of their unborn son’s life.

Things had already been tense between Tane and Harper in recent weeks, as their rocky relationship showed increasing signs of strain. Though they tried to make things work for the sake of their baby, it all came to a head on the night before their wedding, which was supposed to be a hopeful new beginning. Instead, it became the breaking point.

On the eve of their big day, Harper finally asked the question she had been avoiding for months: “Do you really love me?” Tane, caught in a difficult spot, admitted he cared deeply for her — especially because she’s carrying his child — but when pressed for honesty, he confessed that he didn’t truly love her. It was a painful truth, but one Harper needed to hear.

Despite this revelation, Tane still expressed his desire to go through with the wedding, convinced that they could make their relationship work for the sake of their child. However, Harper wasn’t willing to settle for a marriage that lacked real love. Even though she briefly got dressed for the ceremony the next morning, she ultimately sought out Tane and told him it was over.

In a heartfelt yet firm conversation, Harper explained her decision: “We can still be a family, we just don’t have to be married. You’ve told me a hundred times how much you care about me… I’m sorry. I want more. I deserve more. I won’t bring our child into a lie, and I don’t want a loveless marriage.”

At first, the breakup seemed to be civil and mature. But things quickly take a dark and emotional turn in upcoming scenes airing in Australia. As Harper begins to process the breakup, her resentment toward Tane starts to fester. Feeling deceived and emotionally strung along, she lashes out in anger — and it’s baby Archie who becomes the center of her retaliation.

In a heated confrontation, Harper delivers a devastating threat: “I don’t want you in Archie’s life at all… because I’m going to do this on my own.” Tane is left shocked and shaken as Harper makes it clear that she no longer wants him involved as a father, despite the fact that he’s tried to step up and be there.

Harper doesn’t back down. She tells Tane that she can’t even look at him after everything that’s happened. Her fury, though rooted in heartbreak, becomes a powerful weapon as she begins using access to their baby as leverage. And to make matters worse for Tane, even his close friend Cash Newman seems to be siding with Harper, which only deepens his feelings of isolation and frustration.

As the fallout intensifies, the once-promising future they imagined is now in ruins. The real question remains: Can Tane and Harper put aside their differences and find a way to co-parent peacefully for Archie’s sake? Or is this the beginning of a bitter custody battle that will leave lasting scars?

With emotions running high and trust shattered, viewers are in for a gut-wrenching ride as this emotional story continues to unfold.
