Home and Away‘s Tane Parata officially has a new love interest on the horizon.
In a teaser clip uploaded to the soap’s Instagram, the man currently charged with the kidnapping of baby Maia finally gets that kiss with Harper Matheson.
Five months ago, she left him a little red-faced by pulling away from his moves after Tane misread their friendship while on the rebound from ex Felicity Newman.
In the new Home and Away footage, Tane faces the prospect of being locked up for 15 years, with Harper inconveniently realising she could be into him after all.
“I think I really like him…” she tells her younger sister Dana.
And with the clock ticking on gym boss Tane’s freedom, she goes on to let him know face-to-face.
“You have to know by now how much I care about you,” Harper dramatically reveals.
A voiceover then informs soap fans that “feelings will surface” as Tane once again makes a move on Harper. She doesn’t pie him off this time, though.
These episodes won’t air in the UK on Channel 5 until July.
In other Home and Away news, longtime cast member Lynne McGranger has admitted she’s “mulled over” the possibility of bowing out as Irene Roberts after 31 years.
“It has been in the back of my mind for the last year or two,” she recently told Stellar magazine.
