Home and Away spoilers follow from Monday’s Australian episode (August 8), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has shared more insight into why Jasmine Delaney doesn’t want to return to Summer Bay.
Jasmine has been abruptly written out this year as Sam Frost, who played her, decided to leave the show in late 2021.
The popular character’s exit storyline saw her announce that she was leaving on a temporary basis to help the family of her late husband Robbo.
The Shaw family needed assistance keeping their farm running as Wendy had suffered a heart attack.

Last month, episodes airing in Australia saw Jasmine’s partner Cash Newman ask her to come home to Summer Bay.
Jasmine agreed that she would, but failed to show up without explanation. This thwarted Cash’s romantic plans for her to propose to her.
In subsequent scenes, Cash asked a local police force to check on Jasmine and the Shaws to make sure they were okay after their mysterious silence.
Jasmine passed the message on that she was fine, but wouldn’t be returning.

In Monday’s episode on Channel 7 in Australia, Cash provided further insight by revealing that Jasmine’s complicated feelings for her late husband had fueled her decision.
Cash told Jasmine’s sister Rose Delaney that when it came down to it, Jas couldn’t bring herself to leave the Shaws again.
Cash noted that Jasmine was “more in love with her husband’s memory” than with him.
There was little time for further reflection, as the Parata family’s ongoing troubles with a biker gang led to a shock cliffhanger for Cash and Rose.

Sam Frost announced last year that she’d be taking a break from Home and Away, giving her time to receive COVID vaccinations. All cast at Home and Away are obliged to be vaccinated due to a rule implemented at the start of the year.
In a change of plans, Sam later announced that her departure would be permanent.
A spokesperson for Channel 7 said in a statement sent to DigitalSpy: “We support and respect Sam’s decision to leave Home and Away. Sam leaves with our sincere thanks and very best wishes for the future.”
Show insiders suggested that Sam’s exit was not related to the previous vaccination discussions.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7plus.
Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
