In one of the most emotional and spine-chilling storylines Home and Away has delivered in years, fans are set for heartbreak as Theo Poulos makes a shocking return —

but not in the way anyone expected. In upcoming episodes, Leah Patterson is haunted by a vivid dream in which Theo appears to warn her of a catastrophic train accident.

The chilling part? Her partner Justin Morgan is already aboard that very train.

This dream sequence marks a deeply emotional turn for Leah, who has been struggling to hold herself together after recent months of turmoil in Summer Bay. When the episode begins, Leah is restless and uneasy, plagued by a sense of dread she can’t explain. But when she drifts off to sleep, her subconscious brings her face-to-face with a ghostly figure — Theo, her beloved nephew, who vanished under mysterious circumstances months earlier.

In the haunting vision, Theo appears distressed, his voice trembling as he delivers a cryptic warning: “You have to stop him, Leah. Don’t let him get on that train. Something terrible is going to happen.” His words send shivers down Leah’s spine as the dream turns chaotic — flashing lights, distant screams, and the deafening sound of screeching metal.

Leah wakes in a panic, her heart racing, drenched in cold sweat. At first, she brushes it off as a nightmare, the product of exhaustion and stress. But as the morning unfolds, strange coincidences start to mirror her dream. The same weather pattern, the same news report about train delays — even Justin mentioning he has a meeting in the city and plans to take the early train from Yabbie Creek Station.

Realizing the eerie parallels, Leah begs Justin to stay home. “Please, don’t go,” she pleads. “I can’t explain it, but something’s wrong.” Justin, ever the rational one, tries to reassure her, dismissing the dream as anxiety. But Leah’s desperation grows, her voice trembling as she recalls every detail of Theo’s message.

Despite her warnings, Justin leaves — and as Leah watches his car disappear down the road, dread consumes her. Minutes later, her phone buzzes with an emergency alert: reports of a train derailment just outside Yabbie Creek. Her world collapses in an instant.

Racing to the scene, Leah finds chaos — flashing sirens, debris, and terrified passengers stumbling from the wreck. Her cries for Justin echo through the crowd as she searches for any sign of him. The moment is pure Home and Away heartbreak — a gut-wrenching blend of fear, love, and helplessness.

The gripping episode is expected to leave viewers in tears, with the storyline promising both tragedy and mystery. Was Theo’s appearance a supernatural warning? Or was it Leah’s intuition trying to save the man she loves?

Insiders hint that this is only the beginning of a much larger arc exploring fate, loss, and the unbreakable bonds of family — even beyond the grave. “It’s emotional, eerie, and completely unexpected,” a production source revealed. “Fans will be left questioning what’s real and what’s a dream.”

With Justin’s fate hanging in the balance and Theo’s ghostly return stirring old wounds, Home and Away is about to deliver one of its most haunting and unforgettable chapters yet.
