Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes.
Home and Away has hinted that John Palmer and Marilyn Chambers could survive their marriage crisis after weeks of rows.
Recent episodes on Channel 7 in Australia have shown John and Marilyn's relationship pushed to breaking point over their different opinions on the Parata family.
While Marilyn has tried to support Ari, Gemma and Nikau following their move to Summer Bay, John has remained distrustful over the newcomers – especially after learning about their criminal past.

Tuesday's episode in Australia saw the situation take a surprising turn for the better, as Gemma made the generous decision to play peacemaker, despite John's bad behaviour.
What to Read Next
Saddened to see her family at the centre of John and Marilyn's troubles, Gemma approached John for a chat about how to make things right.
Surprisingly, John and Gemma managed to find some common ground after a frosty start. They bonded over their experiences of grief, as John's wife Gina Austin died in 2013, and Gemma lost her husband Mikaere more recently.
Gemma later came to see Marilyn at the Diner, promising that hostilities with John were finally over. She also encouraged her to see John's positive points and how much he still loves her, which hit home with Marilyn.

Soon afterwards, Marilyn set up a meeting with John and admitted that she was finally ready to talk.
Tomorrow's episode on Channel 7 will see Marilyn open up to John, finally revealing why she became so fixated on helping the Paratas at a difficult time in her life.
Will these honest conversations be enough to save John and Marilyn's marriage?
Home and Away currently airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1.15pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
