Next week on Home and Away on Channel 5, Alf Stewart faces a major life change.
Alf questions the future of the bait shop when his landlords want to impose a significant rent increase. He fears that he’s being forced out and starts to feel overwhelmed when his daughter Roo suggests alternative solutions.
While it may just be a bait shop, Alf’s loved ones worry about how this could affect him, especially as he’s already struggling following his near-death experience last year.
Fortunately, some classic Summer Bay community spirit could be about to solve all of Alf’s problems.
Our 27-picture gallery offers a sneak peek at what’s in store.
