Home and Away spoilers: Ziggy Morgan hears SHOCK news about Simone Bedford!
Unaware of Simone's real reason for sticking around in Summer Bay, Ziggy is furious her mum Maggie has given Simone a job...
Ziggy Morgan is reeling from the news her own mum Maggie Astoni has given Ziggy's love-rival Simone Bedford a job as a volunteer support teacher at Summer Bay High.
Of course, Ziggy remains unaware of the real reason Simone is so keen to stick around the Bay... to continue her secret affair with Ziggy's husband, Brody!
But when Ziggy hassles her hubby about having Simone still hanging around, he snaps and accuses her of being too needy, leaving her worried she's to blame for the increasing distance between them.
However, Simone's still not happy about being 'the other woman' and, after a confrontation with Ziggy, she tells Brody he isn't to see or speak to her again until he's made up his mind about their affair vs his marriage...
Meanwhile, is Alf Stewart's romance with first wife Martha about to come to an end?
After Alf overhears a conversation between Martha and family friend Leah Patterson and hears Martha say she 'loves' him, Alf gets into a bit of an awkward panic!
As Alf worries it's too much, too soon, Martha fears she's outstayed her welcome and packs her bags ready to leave.
But after some encouraging words from friend Marilyn Chambers, will Alf spring into action and make things right with Martha before she hits the road?
Also, there's a BIG surprise in store for Marilyn and her hubby John Palmer when their son Jett Palmer suddenly arrives back in the Bay! Has Jett quit the army?
