Home and Away, Tane Parata, Ari Parata

Stay away... or else! Things get heated between Ari Parata and his younger brother Tane on Home and Away. But why is there bad blood between the brothers?

Nikau Parata (played by Kawakawa Fox-Reo) is a troubled soul after what happened between him and new girlfriend, Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) on Home and Away (1:15pm/6:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Nikau is blaming himself for Bella's freak-out in the bedroom and the fact she has now had to be taken to a specialist therapy centre for help.

Whenever he is in trouble, Nikau normally flees to his uncle Tane (Ethan Browne) for help and advice.

However, Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams) reckons his younger brother, Tane is a bad influence on Nikau. So he storms off to warn Tane to stay away from his family... or else!

WHY is there so much bad blood between brothers Ari and Tane? Will they get into a punch-up?
