Home and Away spoilers follow for UK-pace episodes on Channel 5.

Home and Away's John Palmer and Marilyn Chambers hit the rocks next week in a dispute over the Parata family.

John (Shane Withington) walks out on Marilyn in protest as she refuses to back down from offering support to Summer Bay newcomers Ari, Gemma and Nikau.

Upcoming episodes see John look up the Paratas online in an attempt to find out more about the new arrivals.

It doesn't take long for John to uncover the family's criminal past and he wastes no time before passing on the scandalous details to Marilyn (Emily Symons).

What to Read Next

John believes that Marilyn will apologise once confronted with the truth about the Parata family. However, much to his surprise, Marilyn makes it clear that she's staying loyal to them.

Marilyn reminds John that his own past is hardly squeaky-clean, making reference to the time that he started some devastating fires in the Bay.

John responds with an ultimatum – he'll leave if Marilyn doesn't order Gemma and Nikau to go. This move backfires when John has to hire a caravan for somewhere to stay.

After his first night in the caravan, John is spoiling for a fight and warns Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) that he knows every detail about his past.

Ari and Gemma are spooked by the news, fearing that their unfortunate history could soon spread all over town thanks to John.

Later in the week, Ari tries reaching out to John in the hope of ending their feud. John warns that he'll only back off if Ari leaves town, leaving Ari with food for thought as he seriously considers taking the offer for Gemma and Nikau's sake.

With the rows and recriminations intensifying, John finds himself in another clash with Marilyn and hears some more harsh home truths. Is there any way back for their marriage?

Home and Away airs these scenes on Monday, April 27, Wednesday, April 29 and Friday, May 1 at 1.15pm on Channel 5.
