At home and away fans are left spooked as tense upcoming scenes were released showing avid surfer Mali Hudson in danger.
The soap opera has released a short but captivating trailer for next week’s episodes, which will air in Australia and later this summer in the UK, with Mali (Kyle Shilling) setting out to catch waves.
Mali has been struggling with his eardrum since being caught up in an explosive story – which could prove deadly as he navigates the water alone.

Mali was embroiled in Marilyn’s (Emily Symons) battle against Stunning Organics last month, where she spoke out about the sleazy skincare company. Shortly after, a bomb was discovered in a mysterious package addressed to him.
In a heroic chase, Mali chased the van containing the bomb and managed to warn the driver and passenger to get out before it exploded but in doing so was sent flying when it exploded, not having completely cleared the area.
Sharing a trailer of what’s to come on the show’s official social media channels, the post was captioned, “It looks like heaven, but the dangers are deadly. Find out what’s happening Monday from 7 p.m. on @channel7 and @7plus.”

The serene video begins with Mali looking out to sea as calm music plays.
As the clip continues, shots of the beach and surf in Mali appear below the caption: “It looks like paradise, but the dangers are deadly.”
Going from calm and serene on the waves to shots showing him struggling in the distressed water and the sound of heavy breathing, Mali is clearly in trouble.

Many fans of the show commented on the trailer assuming a shark attacked him, while others believe it could be the fallout from the explosion affecting his ability to surf.
He was teased by Back to the bay that next week, Rose (Kirsty Marillier) tries to warn Mali that it’s not safe for him to surf with his eardrum, but he ignores her anyway.
The platform also features production footage of Mali holding his hand to his ear in discomfort.
One fan commented: ‘Please don’t go to Mali. It’s definitely a SHARK’ with another adding: ‘We haven’t had a shark for a while now probably due to a .”
A third asked, “Um, perforated eardrum?? Stay away from surfing?? Gotta love how these characters completely ignore medical advice.”
Viewers will have to tune in to see what the real danger is.
