'Home and Away' newcomers become menacing in new plots

More details have emerged of how Home and Away's newest bad boys will be stirring up trouble in Summer Bay in upcoming episodes.

Leah Patterson-Baker's "freaky" new love interest Jamie (Hugo Johnstone-Burt) and the Braxton family's old acquaintance Adam (Martin Lynes) will both be displaying behaviour which concerns the local residents.

While Leah (Ada Nicodemou) initially tries to ignore her fears that Jamie is being over-eager in their relationship, TV Week reports that he pushes her too far by taking her son VJ out on a jet-ski without asking her first.

Now convinced that there is something not quite right about Jamie, Leah ends their relationship and warns him to stay away.

However, Leah is later freaked out when the potential stalker showers her with more expensive gifts. As he is obviously not willing to give up on her, viewers will be left to wonder how far he'll push this.

Meanwhile, Adam finds himself at odds with Liam Murphy (Axle Whitehead) when the musician rebukes him for supplying a grief-stricken Bianca Scott with prescription drugs to ease her pain.

Turning the tables, ruthless Adam finds a way to blackmail Liam into doing a dodgy job for him, and it's clear that he is keen to show who is now boss in the Bay.

Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia, and in January on Channel 5 in the UK.
