The lives of several Ramsay Street regulars are in grave danger when they end up in the harsh and unforgiving Outback. There's a terrifying fight for survival and someone doesn't make it back alive.

The four nail-biting episodes which streaming service FreeVee has dubbed 'Death in the Outback' -will see lives put in peril as headstrong Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) runs away from Erinsborough with her new man Heath Royce (Ethan Panizza). Soon, the race is on to find them.

"It's fun to see where Holly's bad taste in men takes her," says Lucinda. "This relationship and her love affair with Heath and what happens in the Outback, is a lot. There's so much shock and there's so much trauma all in one week.

"But for me, I was over the moon when I found out how involved Holly was going to be. It really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience." Holly isn't the only one who winds up in the Outback, as both Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) and Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) become embroiled in the drama, too.

Fan favourite Toadie has been struggling lately. He's been having therapy as the trauma of losing loved ones over the years has finally caught up with him.
