Big news is shaking up Home and Away fans as a surprising pregnancy twist involving two beloved characters has emerged. Jessica Redman, known for her role as Harper, has revealed that she is expecting a baby with her former lover, Tar, played by actor Ethan Brown. Recent photos from the set at Palm Beach, New South Wales, show Jessica flaunting a baby bump while filming, adding to the buzz surrounding this development.

However, this revelation has sparked intense speculation among fans. Many are suggesting that Harper’s pregnancy might signal an impending departure for the character. It’s a common trope on the show that characters who become parents often leave the series. Despite Harper’s visible pregnancy, she is still actively filming, which has led to theories that the show might be dragging out her storyline longer than usual. According to fans on the Home and Away Spoilers and Gossip Facebook page, the prolonged focus on Harper’s pregnancy is unusual and raises questions about her future on the show.

Interestingly, Harper is reported to have a two-year contract remaining, while Tar frequently signs new contracts, having already completed a three-year agreement. This adds to the uncertainty about their on-screen futures. Fans have also pointed out that working with baby characters is costly for producers, as multiple baby actors are required due to strict regulations on infants in filming. This practical consideration adds another layer to the speculation about the characters’ future on the show.

Additional evidence shared on the fan page includes a clip from the set showing Tar, Dana McKenzie, and Marley celebrating, which suggests that the baby might have already been born. The video, filmed by Celeb Time, features the characters enjoying celebratory drinks on the balcony, with hints that Dana mentioned something about Tar heading off to see Harper. The timing of this celebration aligns with a potential February birth, further fueling fan theories.

The excitement of this plot twist follows the recent emotional exit of fan-favorite Felicity Newman, played by Jackie Pervis. Felicity’s heartbreaking death, depicted in her final scenes where her brother Cash decided to turn off her life support, left fans devastated. Jackie Pervis, who is now looking to make a name for herself in Hollywood, shared a heartfelt tribute to her fans and the show on Instagram. She reflected on her time on Home and Away, acknowledging the show’s role in her career development and expressing her readiness to pursue international opportunities.

Jackie’s departure and her plans to move to Hollywood mark a significant shift, following in the footsteps of other former soap stars who have achieved success in the international entertainment industry, such as Chris Hemsworth, Isla Fisher, and Samara Weaving.
