In “Home and Away,” tensions rise this week as Summer Bay’s doctor, Bree,

begins to display alarming behavior at work, sparking concern for both her and her patients.

Haunted by the recent death of Felicity, who collapsed from a brain aneurysm,

Bree struggles to focus on her medical duties. She was the doctor responsible for Felicity’s care but couldn’t save her, and the weight of that failure now consumes her. According to actress Juliet, Bree becomes terrified of making another mistake, fearing the loss of another patient. She also witnesses the grief Felicity’s death has brought to the community, heightening her sense of responsibility.

As Bree’s self-doubt grows, she develops a need to control every aspect of her job, becoming overly cautious in her decisions. This control is put to the test when an accident victim is rushed into the hospital. During the chaos, Bree gets some blood on her scrubs, which triggers a panic attack. Unable to cope, she runs off to clean it up, leaving nurse Dana to handle the injured man on her own. This moment marks a breaking point for Bree, as her fear of blood and failure spirals out of control. Juliet explains that Bree is caught in a cycle of “what if” thoughts, which paralyzes her during critical moments.

Later, when Dana confronts Bree about her strange behavior, Bree remains fixated on the bloodstain, unable to shake her overwhelming fear. The question now looms—what does this mean for Bree and the Summer Bay community, who rely so heavily on her skills as a doctor? Her mental state could have serious consequences for everyone in Summer Bay.
