Home and Away: The chaotic moment a BOMB goes off in Summer Bay

Home and Away is about to be rocked by dramatic new plot twist, after a bomb explodes on the beach in Summer Bay.  

Behind-the-scenes photos taken on Monday indicate that some of the show’s most beloved characters will be caught up in the wreckage, including Patrick O’Connor who plays Dean Thompson, and Sam Frost, who plays Jasmine Delaney. 

A slew of Summer Bay stars are seen lying on the sand covered in dirt and blood as they recover from the blast, while others appear to be playing dead.

Patrick O’Connor was seen holding a fire extinguisher as he filmed a scene where his character attempts to put out a fire. 

Elsewhere Sam Frost filmed scenes while lying on the sand, desperately gripping onto a bottle of water. 

Looking every inch the determined survivor, Sam was covered in soot with a faux gash on her forehead as she rose from the ruins.

Other stars like Courtney Miller, who plays Bella Nixon and J.R. Reyne were also featured on the dramatic set. 

The two even took some time in-between takes to fool around and reenact scenes from the late Michael Jackson’s video clip for Thriller.

For actors on the hit series it’s been nice to return to the Palm Beach set after they were forced into lockdown following a potential Coronavirus spread in December. 

Last year, Sam Frost revealed she self-isolating after filming Home and Away’s finale scenes on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, just one day before a Covid-19 outbreak.

At the time, she shared a photograph of herself at home, spending the time with her pet pooches. 

It’s been an eventful few weeks on the Channel 7 drama, which has seen the recent death of Colby Thorne, played by Tim Frankin. 

After months of being involved in a dramatic murder storyline that showed his character Colby sent to jail, Tim had his final scenes in the TV show play out this week.

Following his time on the show, castmate Patrick took to Instagram to share a touching tribute to his co-star.

‘Tim’s going to burn me for putting these photos up, so hopefully he sees the love before the fury. As we all know he left our screens last night and so ended the journey of Colby Thorne,’ Patrick, who also joined Home and Away in 2018, wrote.

‘Tim and I auditioned for Colby and Dean and when we got the parts we made a pact to make sure we gave it a red hot crack. I didn’t know him that well before Home and Away but now, to say I love him like a brother is an understatement.

‘We went through so many rides together over the 3 years, shootings, weddings, detoxing and investigations,’ he added.
