Home and Away is pushing Lacey Miller’s terrifying storyline into even darker territory as her creepy stalker refuses to back down. Just when she thinks she has drawn a firm line, Holden Dwyer strikes again, forcing Lacey to take a bold new step to protect herself before things spiral even further out of control.
Lacey Takes Legal Action As Holden’s Obsession Worsens
Home and Away has confirmed chilling new scenes in Australian-paced episodes, as Lacey’s ordeal with Holden intensifies. His behaviour has grown more disturbing by the day, and it is now clear that a simple rejection was never going to stop him.
Lacey gently turned down Holden’s attempt to start a romantic relationship, but he refused to accept her answer. Instead of respecting her wishes, he became increasingly fixated. His actions escalated from awkward persistence to outright obsession, leaving Lacey deeply unsettled.
That obsession reached a frightening peak when Holden broke into Lacey’s house and attacked Mali Hudson. Shockingly, he later tried to carry on as though nothing had happened, attempting to set up a romantic dinner with Lacey.
That twisted display finally made her see just how disturbed he really was. Realising she could no longer handle this alone, Lacey confides in her father, David Langham. As a police officer, David immediately urges her to apply for an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO).
Holden Strikes Again Despite The AVO in Home and Away
Even as Lacey takes this decisive step, Holden proves he has no intention of backing off. In a chilling twist, he turns up at the police station while she and David are there. His sudden arrival rattles David, who quickly instructs colleagues to hide Lacey and ensure her safety.
David proceeds to serve Holden with the AVO during an official interview, formally warning him to stay away. However, Holden reacts badly. Sophea Pennington, who plays Lacey, explained that Holden is “extremely upset” by the order.
Viewers will see a much darker side of him emerge. With the AVO in place, Lacey feels slightly more secure and agrees to meet Leah Patterson at the diner. For a brief moment, it seems like she might reclaim a sense of normal life. But that hope vanishes when Holden storms into the diner, completely ignoring the legal restrictions placed on him.
He confronts Lacey directly and grows angrier by the second, showing blatant disregard for the law. His actions raise a terrifying question: if an AVO cannot stop him, what will? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
