We all know how Irene struggled with her alcohol addiction, which led to an extended stay in rehab. If she returns, the big question remains: Is she truly prepared to settle back into everyday life?
Home and Away spoilers: John and Leah Visit Irene
According to Home and Away spoilers, the news starts making rounds that Irene won’t attend Tane Parata’s wedding to Harper Matheson. The whole Bay is taken aback because she has been close with Harper since the Matheson sisters arrived in town. Moreover, the housemate situation turned them into a small and happy family.
Soon, Irene’s pals Leah, John, and Justin catch wind of her decision and decide to change her mind. John and Leah visit her at the rehab centre to understand what’s going on. Now, let’s give you some context on Irene’s current health status. She’s still at a very crucial point in her recovery from last year’s battle with alcoholism.
Irene knows her friends have her best interests at heart, and it’s their caring that brought them to her. But it’s her utmost priority to protect her progress, and she admits to being scared. Why? She thinks returning to the Bay too soon could bring back painful memories, and she’ll lose her focus.
Is Irene Ready to Settle Down in the Bay?
As John and Leah return home, they can’t help but wonder if their friend has shared everything on her mind. Later, Irene calls John and reveals she’s scared to put her progress at risk. Following this conversation, John tells everything to Leah, and they return to the rehab for another attempt to convince Irene.
However, she gets annoyed to see them again so soon, but the pull of home prompts her to share her worries. John reassures her that her Bay family will always be there to support her no matter what. And just like that, Irene packs her bags and heads back to Summer Bay.
Although Irene’s friends are there for her, the possibility of a relapse is still eating her alive. Tune in to Channel 5 to catch all the action on April 25.
