Home and Away is set to deliver one of its darkest and most emotional storylines of 2026 as Levi Fowler’s life implodes, ending in his shocking arrest. The beloved doctor, once known for his calm strength, finds himself consumed by grief after tragedy tears his relationship apart.

The miscarriage that changed everything

Levi and Mackenzie Booth were preparing for a future together when heartbreak struck. Mackenzie suffered a devastating miscarriage, a loss that shattered both of them. While Levi tried to hold everything together, Mackenzie could no longer bear the constant reminders of pain.

She made the difficult decision to leave Summer Bay, travelling to Queensland to stay with her brother Dean Thompson. What was meant to be healing distance instead becomes the catalyst for Levi’s downward spiral.

Levi begins to unravel

Without Mackenzie, Levi loses focus. He throws himself into work, but his emotional state is fragile. Brie notices the change immediately and tries to reach out. Levi eventually opens up, revealing the miscarriage and Mackenzie’s departure, admitting he fears she will never return.

The following day, Brie overhears Levi arguing with Mackenzie on the phone. Though Levi insists he is fine to continue working, it is clear that he is barely coping.

The moment everything snaps

Levi’s breaking point arrives in the emergency department when he treats Lars, a volatile patient involved in a road rage incident. When Lars turns aggressive and grabs Brie, Levi finally snaps. He lashes out, punching Lars to the floor in front of horrified witnesses.

The doctor becomes the attacker.

The fallout is immediate. Brie is shaken and deeply hurt, devastated that Levi’s actions may undermine her campaign for workplace safety and destroy his career.

Levi faces the consequences

Later, Brie warns Joe that Levi will likely be suspended and may even lose his job entirely. Her fears come true when Cash arrives to arrest Levi. Calm but firm, Cash reads him his rights as Levi silently accepts what he has done.

At the police station, Eden arrives just in time to see Levi’s mugshot being taken. She pleads with him to fight for himself, but Levi doesn’t resist. Instead, he accepts full responsibility, confessing that Mackenzie leaving sent him into darkness and he no longer recognizes who he has become.

The phone call no one wanted to make is finally made — Mackenzie learns Levi has been arrested.
