Next week on Home and Away on Channel 5, Dean Thompson and Ziggy Astoni return to our screens as Levi Fowler and Mackenzie Booth pay them a visit in North Queensland.
Dean struggles to get along with Levi as they meet for the first time, but that’s the least of anyone’s worries when Ziggy and Mackenzie are both kidnapped.
