Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.
Home and Away's Dean Thompson will get a major shock from Amber Simmons.
In scenes airing this week in Australia and in the UK next month (via New Idea), Amber – played by Madeleine Jevic – decides to inform her ex Dean (Patrick O'Connor) of life-changing news.
The announcement leaves Dean stunned, particularly as he's currently in a relationship with Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman).
"Dean and Amber grew up in Mangrove River together," Jevic said, explaining the pair's history. "Dean was best mates with Colby and Amber's brother Jai, and was also dating Willow, so they were all very close friends.
"Amber's relationship with Dean was complicated growing up and there was definitely a no-strings-attached element to their friendship, but she has always had a deep love for him."
What to Read Next
Amber first appeared in Summer Bay to help care for John Palmer following his stroke.
But her arrival initially caused problems for some of the other residents. Notably, she greeted Colby with a punch, still blaming him for Jai's death.

Jevic recently revealed that she was a huge fan of the show before joining, and shared her excitement about working with the likes of co-stars Ray Meagher and Lynne McGranger.
"Because I grew up watching, [McGranger] was just this familiar beautiful energy. She's like a mum – so down to earth and loving," she told TV Week. "I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm in Summer Bay with Irene!'"
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
