Home and Away‘s Roo Stewart shares she intends to adopt Cohen Luther in upcoming scenes, but not everyone is on board with the decision.

In new scenes of the Aussie soap, Roo feels guilty and concerned when Cohen is rushed to the hospital and Bree Cameron diagnoses him with tonsillitis.

Alf Stewart goes to the hospital to support his daughter, hugging her and telling her to get some rest as he’ll be with Cohen.

Alf and Cohen chat about a fishing magazine, with Alf realising how sweet and vulnerable the teen is and why Roo is so committed to helping him.

When Roo returns, Alf tells her how proud he is of her. She then tells her dad about her life-changing decision: she wants to apply to adopt Cohen. Alf is hesitant about whether this would be right for Roo, as he doesn’t want her to get hurt again after falling for Eliza Sherwood’s scheming.

Later on, David Langham updates Roo on Cohen’s mum Samantha’s case, telling her she’s been sentenced to 12 months in prison.

Roo seeks advice from Cash Newman, asking him about his personal experience growing up in foster care.

Cash invites Roo into the yard for a cup of tea and advises her to be sure before making any plan. The last thing that kid needs, Cash says, is any more confusion.

More convinced than ever, Roo thinks it’s the right choice to give Cohen a second chance, but Alf is quick to object. As Roo pushes back, will she ever get her dad’s approval?

“Roo is adamant that she’s doing the right thing for Cohen’s future,” our insider added.

“Her previous fostering experience was hellish, but Cohen is settling into Summer Bay life far better – he couldn’t be more different than scheming Eliza!

“As always, Alf fears that Roo is acting too hastily and urges her to think carefully before making a life-changing decision. But is Roo prepared to listen?”
