Home and Away newcomer Beau Hammond has already started to show his dark side<\/a>, with viewers fully aware of his controlling nature and drug dealing operation. However, the villain’s nasty behaviour is set to escalate this week, as he makes a staggering demand. <\/p>\n

Despite things starting off well between Harper Matheson and her new man<\/a>, viewers soon learnt that he had been supplying drugs to local gym-goers in the Bay. Among his clients was Sonny Baldwin, who has been pushing his recovery following the horrific train crash<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Though Harper remained unaware of Beau’s actions, his insistence on downloading tracking apps to monitor each other’s locations started to ring alarm bells, and in upcoming episodes, his hostility turns worryingly physical. <\/p>\n

According to TVWeek<\/a>, Beau confronts Harper after tracking her movements and noticing she isn’t where she said she would be. Harper explains that she took her son Archie to visit Marilyn Chambers but Beau isn’t satisfied with her reasoning.
<\/p>\n

He grabs her wrist tightly, refusing to let go until a bruise forms and she manages to flee. Harper is shaken by the whole interaction and the fog suddenly lifts from her eyes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the villain’s reign of terror continues with Sonny, who agreed to sell drugs in order to fund his own terrifying addiction. Beau chastises Sonny<\/a> for not making any sales, but Sonny fears his girlfriend Dana Matheson and friend Remi Carter are becoming suspicious of his secret. <\/p>\n

As Sonny panics, Dana sets up a huge romantic proposal for later that night, as she plans to ask him to marry her. But while Dana is unaware of her boyfriend’s actions, Remi suspects Sonny stole his wallet and goes to investigate.<\/p>\n

Snooping at the gym, Remi witnesses the whole heated exchange between his pal and the newcomer, who becomes increasingly aggressive. He puts two and two together and decides to step in to help Sonny out of the dangerous situation. <\/p>\n

Furious Remi threatens to tell Harper everything about the drug dealing if Beau doesn’t let Sonny off the hook. However, in a twist, the villain makes his own threat, demanding Remi pays him half a million dollars. <\/p>\n

How will Remi and Sonny deal with the situation? And will Beau get his comeuppance before causing any more damage? <\/p>\n
