Sonny’s Breakdown in the Bay: Will His Wheelchair Trauma Destroy His Love With Dana?
A Romance Changed Overnight
Sonny and Dana were never just a sweet couple. Their bond was built on trust, growth, and quiet strength. But after the devastating train derailment that ended last season, everything has changed. Leaked set photos confirm that Sonny is now wheelchair-bound—likely for months—and the emotional weight is already starting to crush him.
What was once a bright future now feels uncertain. And fans are already asking the toughest question: Can love survive when everything else breaks?
Sonny’s Silent Struggle
For Sonny, the physical injury is only half the battle. Known in Summer Bay for his energy and independence, he now faces daily life in a wheelchair—a reality he’s not ready to accept.
Early scenes show him pushing everyone away. He refuses rehab. He won’t let Dana help him. What looks like stubbornness is actually deeper grief: the loss of identity, masculinity, and the future he imagined. His world has shrunk, and so has his hope.
Eventually, Sonny may agree to attend a rehabilitation program. But before that happens, he risks losing more than just his mobility.
Dana’s Distance: Protection or Goodbye?
While Sonny spirals inward, fans have noticed something different about Dana. Once endlessly supportive, she now seems… distant. Promo footage shows her growing quiet, even cold.
Is Dana emotionally withdrawing? Or is this “tough love”—a last-ditch effort to get Sonny to fight for himself?
Some viewers believe she’s holding back out of emotional exhaustion. Others think guilt is eating at her, and she’s afraid of being pulled under. Either way, Dana is breaking too—and it’s starting to show.
Will They Make It Through?
Home and Away has never shied away from real emotional fallout. This storyline is no exception. It explores how trauma doesn’t just wound bodies—it tests relationships, trust, and self-worth.
Will Sonny push Dana away for good? Or will she find the strength to stay—and the courage to call him out?
One thing is clear: this won’t be solved in a single episode. Healing takes time, and some love stories survive because both people refuse to give up.
Is Sonny shutting Dana out to protect her—or to hide from himself? Will their bond break under the weight of grief, or grow stronger in spite of it? The answers begin in early 2026.
