Baby Joy!

After a tough year, Kirsty and Kane finally receive good news

Finally, something to celebrate! Expect to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet in Summer Bay in 2005!

After a year that has been marked by tragedy and sorrow, Home & Away’s Kirsty (Christie Hayes) has a truly joyous surprise for her husband, Kane (Sam Atwell), in this week’s heart-stopping season finale – she’s pregnant!

For Kane, who has been waging a brave battle against testicular cancer, this is undoubtedly the best Christmas gift he could possibly receive.

“He’s amazed and very excited,” Sam says. “This is a new beginning. This is a way for Kane and Kirsty to get their lives back on track as a family.”

As fans of the hit weeknight series will recall, Kirsty suffered a tragic miscarriage earlier this year at the same time that she discovered she has to undergo an urgent kidney transplant operation. While she regained her health, she and Kane were naturally devastated by the loss of their much-longed-for baby.

Further heartache for the young married couple followed when Kane was diagnosed with cancer. While he initially kept the news from his wife – as he didn’t want her to be distracted from her final-year exams – she eventually discovered the truth and has been a tower of strength ever since.

Now, in the last week of Home & Away for 2004 (with the finale airing Friday, November 26), Kirsty tells Kane they have been given another chance at parenthood.

What’s more, Kirsty believes their baby was conceived the night before Kane underwent surgery to remove his cancer.

For Kane, this is a sign that he will make a full recovery from his illness. He’s more determined then ever to get better and not allows anything to stand in the way of his family’s happiness.

“It’s been pretty tough for both Kane and Kirsty,” Sam says. “It’s really good for them to have something to share, something which will be such a big part of their lives for the rest of their lives.

“I think Kane will be a great dad,” he adds. “He’s learnt a lot from the mistakes his own father made and he really wants to give being a dad the best shot he can.

“Kane’s grown up a lot recently and he’s learnt a lot of lessons the tough way.”

Nevertheless, it’s clear that Kane still has many hurdles to clear on the road to recovery.

“It’s difficult because Kane is still going through the chemotherapy,” says Sam, adding, “but certainly this gives him and Kirsty a new lease on life. It gives them a reason to have hope and keep going.”

Adds Christie: “There’s a really nice line where Kane says, ‘I feel like I have something to live for even more so than us.’ The cancer is not going to get in the way of that. It’s wonderful for Kane.

“And Kirsty has been amazing in the way she’s dealt with Kane’s illness. When she first found out about the cancer she was a bit of a wreck, but then she realised she wasn’t the victim here. She thinks, ‘Kane needs me right now to be strong and I have to put my selfishness away for his happiness’.”

Christie admits she was pleased when she learnt of this latest development in the storylines.

“It’s lovely,” she says. “It comes at the most perfect time, actually. Kirsty has wanted to be a mum for ages and it’s nice that she’s getting her wish.

“I really like the fact that something beautiful is happening to Kirsty and Kane now,” she says. “It’s the perfect balance.

Sins of the Father

Tasha’s dad asks her to make a decision that could change her life

Tasha has never been more certain about anything. She is determined to meet the man who kept her under surveillance for weeks on end – her father, Ian Osbourne.

While Irene (Lynne McGranger) does everything she can to change Tasha’s mind, the teenager won’t be dissuaded.

As a result, Irene calls Josie (Laurie Foell) to tell her about Tasha’s plan. Josie is mortified and unsuccessfully tries to talk Tasha (Isabel Lucas) out of it.

Later, Josie begs Osbourne (Andrew McFarlane) not to do anything that could harm the close relationship she has with Tasha.

“Josie knows Osbourne very well and she doesn’t like him at all,” Laurie says. “Josie is really concerned that Tasha will have her heart broken and she tries desperately to avoid it. She really wants to protect Tasha.”

For his part, Osbourne says he won’t agree to anything except that he will meet Tasha and Irene. He then calls Irene and tells her that he has a secret plan, which he asks her to go along with. After all, he says, it’s the best thing for his daughter.

When Irene and Tasha arrive at Osbourne’s house, they receive anything but a warm welcome. Tasha is put through a series of rigorous tests to confirm she is indeed Osbourne’s daughter, before being presented with an ultimatum by her father: if she truly wants to get to know him, she must leave Summer Bay and cut all ties with every person she cares about in the seaside town!

Will Tasha leave the Bay forever?
