'Home and Away' for April 18: Marilyn sexually harassed in prison, Olivia upset while celebrating birthday

On Tuesday’s episode of "Home and Away," Marilyn is having second thoughts about visiting John after what happened in prison. Meanwhile, Olivia reveals the reason she doesn’t want to celebrate her birthday.

Spoiler Alert!

Teary-eyed Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons) confides in Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) about what happened in prison. It was Marilyn’s first visit to John Palmer (Shane Withington) in jail. However, it did not go as smoothly as she wanted it to be.

Marilyn was harassed by an inmate while on her way out of jail. She was groped from behind. John saw it then confronted the inmate.

In a teaser for Tuesday’s episode, Marilyn admits to Roo that she is reconsidering her promise to John that she will visit him every day after she got sexually harassed. Roo tells her to visit John instead whenever the man who troubles her is not around.

Marilyn gets more upset when she sees the newspaper front page featuring John’s arrest and the headline “Firebugs Appeal Sentence.” She asks John’s lawyer Morag Bellingham (Cornelia Frances) to do everything she can to get John out of prison. The lawyer tells her that the appeal papers are ready and John only needs to sign them.

Meanwhile, as Roo supports Marilyn, she will also receive shocking news of her own. Roo's doctor asks her to come to the hospital immediately. Roo will then urge the doctor to reveal the result of her tests over the phone instead. She will be left shaken by what the doctor reveals to her, according to DigitalSpy.

Earlier, Roo passed out while moving her and boyfriend James Edmunds’ (Myles Pollard) things to their new place. James had found her lying on the floor. He insisted on taking her to the hospital but Roo dismissed the concern. Morag, on the other hand, suggested that Roo may have collapsed because she may be going through menopause. This prompted her to have herself check by her doctor.

Elsewhere, Olivia Richards (Raechelle Banno) becomes emotional as she celebrates her 18th birthday with Hunter King (Scott Lee). Olivia admits to Hunter that she hates birthdays because it reminds her that she doesn't have her own family to celebrate with. Hunter tells her that he arranged a lunch with some of their friends in Summer Bay.
