At long last, it dawned on Zeke what Robin was up to - he's become obsessed with Sunny and wants to date her.

Unfortunately, nobody else believed him - his friends and family claimed that although the newcomer was a bit odd, he was merely a lonely kid and that Zeke was being far too possessive. Zeke then began to think that perhaps Robin was getting the better of him.

Libby and Ben returned from New Zealand - without Dan. Initially she refused to admit to Susan that there was a problem, but eventually broke down, revealing that Sam was fine and was merely twisting Dan around her little finger.

The Kennedy-Fitzgeralds had appeared to be the perfect couple, but now it seemed that his priorities lay with his ex-wife, and Libby was convinced she would always come second to Sam.

Toadie tried to turn Kate into a wrestling fan, but she inadvertently ruined Callum's enjoyment of the sport by breaking the news that professional bouts are staged.

Now that the murder has been tied up, Home and Away is back doing what it does best - serving up relationship traumas among pretty people.

Jai seems to have been in a bad mood for weeks and Miles was beginning to get concerned about him. Annie and Jai were at the top of a shortlist for candidates who had earlier missed out on the student exchange program to Japan. Now that the successful candidate had pulled out, Annie and Jai needed to write an essay to see which one of them got the placement. Jai wanted to go and then didn't, then changed his mind again and stuck up his hand when Annie surprisingly pulled out of the contest.

Doesn't he realise it's all to do with his mixed emotions about the burgeoning romance between Annie and Romeo? Well, Romeo was certainly feeling guilty about treading on his little brother's toes.

Eventually Romeo confronted Jai. They're brothers - surely they can chat about anything? Jai then gave it to him and Romeo realised that the persistent bad moods are because he and Annie have been growing closer. Romeo came clean and told Jai about Annie, but assured him that he didn't make a move on Annie until Jai said he was no longer interested in her.

Elsewhere, Tony was struggling to be as supportive to Rachel as she needed. A stressful day became worse and worse. By the time Rachel got home, having enjoyed her return to work, Tony was even too tired to stay up and chat. He hid his exhaustion from Rachel, but it seemed clear that he wasn't going to be able to keep to this new regime for long.

Jake was finding it hard to come to terms with his break up and was fuming when he overheard an argument between Steph and Frankie and realised that Steph had driven Loretta away.

Later at The Dog, there was a power cut and Jake and Darren tried to fix it but failed, and Holly wound up unconscious on the floor after receiving a nasty electric shock from touching a faulty wire.

Darren came to the rescue and resuscitated Holly, and told the crowd that had gathered that Jake had saved the day.

Meanwhile, Amy was reluctant to spend time with her children, despite Ste trying to persuade her.

Ste was less than impressed when Amy chose to go to The Loft over a trip to the park with the kids. Returning home drunk, Amy reached out to touch the children but couldn't bring herself to do it and left in tears.

Elsewhere, Dom planted rotten fish in the student halls to get revenge for his missing goat.

Cain was furious when he learned that Marlon has been letting Charity stay at his house and punched him in the stomach.

He then confronted Charity and threatened her, demanding she stay out of his and Debbie's lives before slamming the door in her face.

She was truly hurt, and more so when Cain literally rubbed her face in the bag of money, telling her to take it as it was the only thing she would ever get from him.

Will Charity stick to the original plan and leave with the cash?

Meanwhile, Mark was clearly annoyed when he saw Jai and Faye in the pub together again and accused her of trying to make him jealous.

However, she told him that he had no hold over her and she could do whatever she wanted.

Elsewhere, Marlon was embarrassed at the thought of having to see Moira again after telling her that he loved her.

It was the day of the wedding, but Owen still refused to leave the 'happy' couple alone.

Denise and Chelsea watched Libby begging him to stay away from the wedding, and agreed not to tell Lucas about the incident.

Later, Owen confronted Lucas and told him all he knew about the bracelet. It seemed he couldn't get away from his arch enemy - even when Lucas drove away, Owen was there, hiding in the back seat.

Eventually, the pair had an almighty row, forcing Lucas to do something he may live to regret.

After the ceremony, Darren helped Heather with baby George, and she gave him some advice about his relationship with Libby. Manda saw the trio together, and worked out that Darren was George's father - although she promised not to say anything.

A debt collector arrived at the Vic, just as Tracey was preparing it for the reception. Ben then asked Ian to help Phil, but Phil refused to accept his offer.

Carla resumed her job as the boss of Underworld, and although Sally and Rosie were quick to come crawling for the job of number two, a thrilled Hayley landed the job.

Meanwhile, Tony was charged with Liam's murder and was set to appear in court on the next day. Admitting she couldn't face him, Maria left for Ireland with Helen and Barry.

Later, Carla attempted to play dumb as the police quizzed her about Tony's accomplice.

A gutted Sally returned home in tears, desperate for some support from Kevin. Unable to resist the chance of being caught, he and Molly had taken advantage of her absence and were having fun in the Websters' bed.

Meanwhile, Claire and Becky fell out when Mrs Peacock accused Amy of teaching Joshua swear words.

Steve was not around to help, having disappeared for another expensive golf lesson, and he later claimed he'd been Christmas shopping.
