Home and Away teases fans by showing a promo of the show's highly anticipated season finale week.

The long-running Aussie soap is set to wrap 2021 up with a bang, giving a glimpse of some action-filled scenes such as steamy road trip adventures, a heartfelt proposal, a life-changing gift, and a 'deadly' stunt.


Mischievous duo Ryder (Lukas Radovich) and Theo (Matt Evans) got fans on the edge of their seats as theseason finale promo gave a glimpse of them taking their viral video side hustle to a dangerous new level, showing Ryder buried alive in a coffin while Theo, who's slumped on the ground with a video camera in hand, was knocked out next to his mate's 'grave'.

Ryder was sent into a panic when Theo mysteriously went quiet above ground, showing no sign of life.

"Where are you?" he shouts from six feet under. "If this is a joke, it's not funny. Answer me!"

Home and Away fans are now speculating whether the duo will survive the 'buried alive' challenge and how Theo ended up being unconscious, with many sharing their own theories on social media.

One fan wrote: "The promo shows that it's one of Ryder and Theo's prank videos. Ryder gets buried alive and then for some reason Theo ends up on the ground, so it'll be interesting to see what happened to Theo!"

"Looks like Theo may have fallen out of a tree, possibly putting up a camera to film the gravesite. So he's unconscious," added another.

One fan theorised that Ryder was buried by Chloe's (Sam Barrett) hot-headed father Matthew (James Sweeny) instead of being buried of his own free will.

The fan wrote: "Matthew puts Ryder in the grave, Chloe finds out what Matthew is really like and she kills him in self-defence."

Another fan speculated that Theo had mistakenly identified the man in the coffin as Ryder before getting knocked unconscious.

"It's not Ryder, a while ago it looked like they were filming a funeral and Ryder was there," the fan wrote.


The action-packed promo also showed Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) popping the question to Mia (Anna Samson), Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) and Tane (Ethan Browne) embarking on a steamy road trip, and Roo (Georgie Parker) offering hospital-bound Martha (Belinda Giblin) the gift of life.
