In a devastating new Home and Away twist, fan-favourite Dana Matheson is set to make a heartbreaking decision that will leave viewers in tears. After weeks of emotional turmoil

and explosive revelations, Dana will finally decide to leave Summer Bay — but not before uncovering the brutal truth about Sonny and the person she never expected to betray her.

For months, Dana has been fighting to rebuild her life, believing she’d finally found stability, love, and acceptance in the Bay. Her relationship with Sonny had seemed like a new beginning — tender,

hopeful, and full of promise. But behind Sonny’s charm and easy smile lurked a dark secret, one that’s about to destroy Dana’s fragile happiness.

According to insider spoilers, Dana will accidentally stumble across incriminating messages between Sonny and a person shockingly close to her. The discovery leaves her gutted. The betrayal runs deeper than infidelity — it’s a calculated deception that will make Dana question everything she’s ever known about trust, friendship, and loyalty.

“It’s not just about love — it’s about betrayal from two people she thought were her anchors,” an insider reveals. “Dana’s entire world comes crashing down in a single moment, and she realizes she can’t stay in Summer Bay any longer.”

Viewers can expect powerful, emotional scenes as Dana confronts Sonny in the surf club, her voice trembling with rage and heartbreak. “How could you do this to me?” she demands in one particularly raw moment that’s already being called one of the most emotional confrontations of the year. Sonny’s attempts to explain only dig the wound deeper — and when the identity of his secret partner is finally revealed, the Bay will be stunned.

Rumours suggest the person Sonny has been conspiring with isn’t just a romantic rival — but someone who has been manipulating events in Summer Bay for their own gain. Some fans speculate it could be Harper, Dana’s sister, while others believe the twist will expose a long-running scheme involving another major character.

As the truth comes out, Dana’s heartbreak turns into resolve. In an emotional farewell sequence filmed on the beach at sunset, she packs her things, takes one last look at the ocean, and tells Irene she has to leave before she loses herself completely. “I came here to start over,” she says through tears, “but now I know some wounds don’t heal here.”

Her exit leaves a trail of devastation — and questions. Will Sonny face the fallout of his lies? Will the truth about his mysterious ally destroy more lives in the Bay? And most importantly, is Dana’s departure truly permanent?

Producers are staying tight-lipped about whether this marks the end of Dana’s Home and Away journey, but insiders hint her story might not be over just yet. “Sometimes leaving Summer Bay is the only way to find your way back,” one source teased cryptically.

Whatever happens next, one thing is certain — Dana’s exit will go down as one of the most emotional and shocking moments in recent Home and Away history. Betrayal, heartbreak, and a farewell no one saw coming — this is Summer Bay at its most explosive.
