Next week on Home and Away in the UK, just as Bree and Remi are getting back on track, the release of Avalon’s new song throws everything up in the air.
It’s been a number of weeks since Remi (Adam Rowland) cheated on Bree (Juliet Godwin) with musician Avalon Bracken (Gemma Dart), and since then, Remi has been doing everything he can to repair his fractured relationship.
Remi had found himself overworked after agreeing to simultaneously produce Kirby’s (Angelina Thomson) album and perform as a guitarist on Avalon’s new record.
Things began to get on top of him, and he took up Avalon’s offer of some unknown pills to give him the energy to keep going.
After Kirby’s album launch saw her receive an offer to tour the world with band The Chosen, Remi began to feel like he was being left behind.
Avalon offered him comfort in a particularly low moment, and the pair ended up sleeping together.
Remi almost immediately confessed to Bree – but while his remorse seemed genuine, Bree was incensed that he couldn’t explain why he did it, and she ended things.
Avalon had returned to the bay to try to talk Remi into coming back to finish work on her album, but Remi refused – he’d mix what they’d recorded so far, but that was it.
Despite Bree’s attempts to put Remi out of her mind, she couldn’t stop thinking about him. So, when he text her asking to meet up, she agreed to see what he had to say for himself.
Remi explained that, while he doesn’t even know himself how he ended up in bed with another woman, Avalon had picked up on the fact that he belonged in a recording studio as a musician rather than a producer.
The experience made him feel good for the first time in ages. But he told Bree that if she’d let him, he’d spend the rest of his life trying to make it up to her.
After Bree overheard Roo (Georgie Parker) discussing how she wanted to give Cohen (Nathan Murray) a second chance by adopting him, Bree decided that she could apply the same logic to her relationship, and agreed to give things with Remi another go.
The pair awkwardly began to date again, with Bree making it clear that it would be on her terms.
They struggled through an initially awkward date at Salt, before slowly becoming more comfortable around one another. However, when Bree invited Remi back to her apartment, Remi ruined the moment by going in for a kiss.
This week, the uncomfortable tension between them continued over a lunch date at Salt. The conversation was stilted, and Bree flinched when Remi so much as reached for the sugar.
When Eden followed her, Bree explained that whenever Remi went to touch her, she couldn’t help but think about how he’d touched Avalon.
As a shocked Remi tried to push her away, Bree insisted that they needed to get the intimacy over with, to move past their awkwardness around each other.
Next week, the pair finally seem to be gaining confidence around each other, and most of the awkwardness has passed. However, an Avalon-shaped obstacle is about to destroy all of their hard work.
As Bree and Remi enjoy a drink together at Salt, Remi runs into Justin, who offers him his congratulations.
