when does home and away return april 2018
Home and Away Since 2000, Home and Away has ceased broadcast mid-season for two weeks during the Olympic Games and the episode to screen prior to this is referred to as an 'Olympic cliffhanger'. An Olympic cliffhanger episode would usually involve increased drama, with the peak of a storyline, similar to a season finale episode, and the outcome of the cliffhanger to conclude after the Olympics. Olympic cliffhangers have been broadcast in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2016, with the exclusion of 2012, as the Seven Network did not have the rights to televise the 2012 London Olympics.[53] In addition to this, Home and Away took a transmission break on 3 April 2018 in order to broadcast the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and returned on 16 April 2018.[54]
List of Home and Away characters (2017) Ryder Jackson, played by Lukas Radovich, made his first appearance on 25 October 2017.[27] The character and Radovich's casting details were announced on 23 October.[28] Radovich secured the part shortly after graduating from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and it marks his first acting role.[29] Ryder is the son of Quinn Jackson (Lara Cox) and grandson of Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher).[28] His first scenes see him break into the Surf Club. When he is later caught for trying to steal from Hunter King (Scott Lee) and VJ Patterson (Matt Little), Ryder explains that he is Alf's grandson. Ryder refuses to give out Quinn's phone number, leading his aunt Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) to suspect he has run away.[28]
