Home and Away - Nate Cooper will decide to take the plunge and go public about his new relationship with Ricky Sharpe.

The pair have been trying to fight their feelings for each other for some time, but they finally decide that they want to be together.

One of the biggest obstacles they have faced is due to Nate's relationship with Kat Chapman and he will be tasked with the difficult challenge of breaking the news to her.

Viewers also know that Ricky's former partner Brax is still alive, despite the fact she believes otherwise, and he will be making his way back to Summer Bay as part of a big storyline.

Kyle Pryor, who plays Nate, said: Nate and Ricky have always been close and confided in one another. So when people find out, I don't think it's too much of a surprise. Nate doesn't want to hurt Kat considering everything she has been through. He will always care for her, but he knows what is best for both of them and that is being apart. He knows him and Ricky could have been more tactful. However, once Nate has made up his mind, he isn't too bothered what people think."
