Tane Parata (played by Ethan Browne) has stepped-up as a guardian to troubled teenager, Perri Hayes (Cantona Stewart), on Home and Away (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
But unfortunately, Perri's abusive dad, Carl Hayes (Matthew Holmes, from Aussie drama series including Sea Patrol and Blue Heelers), is lurking in the background.
On today's episode of the Aussie soap, social worker Harper Matheson (Jessica Redmayne) receives a phone call from Carl.
Perri has been clear that he doesn't want anyone contacting his father, after suffering physical and mental abuse from the man.
But Harper believes she has a duty to try and diffuse the situation between father and son.
It's not long before Carl shows-up at Summer Bay Fit and tries to pressure Perri into carrying out another dodgy job for him!
When Perri refuses, Carl attempts to intimidate him.
Tane steps in and warns Carl to get lost and not come back!
Enraged by Tane's interference in his family's business, Carl does some research and make a SURPRISE discovery that could cause BIG trouble for Tane...
