They were the Jack and Martha of Summer Bay. Several years ago Kirsty and Kane were the couple that couldn't be separated, they were truly soulmates. But faced such adversity in The Bay, they decided they would runaway together to avoid being torn apart.

Living on the run with their three-year old son Oliver, has become increasingly tough for the young couple. Never having enough money or a place to call home is taking it's toll. When Ollie gets sick, the only person they can trust to help is Irene. They know they are putting her in a dangerous position, but they fear they have no other choice.

But lets recap on the Kirsty and Kane story. Actress Christie Hayes describes them as nothing less than “destined to be together, sort of star-crossed, so when they’re together everything just explodes.” And explode they did! These two rarely had a peaceful moment in their relationship while in the Bay.

Kane entered the Sutherland’s life when he fell for Kirsty’s sister Dani. Then after being accused of allegedly assaulting Dani, Kane left the Bay for a while to re-assess his life. Upon his return he sought counselling, but still was refused forgiveness by the Sutherland family.

That’s when fate stepped in, making Kane the heroic crewman who saved the passengers on board a boating trip in the Bay. Despite his heroism, he still was not accepted by the family even after saving Mrs Sutherland from a snake bite while he, she, and Kirsty were stranded for a week after the accident on an island. When they got off this island Kirsty and Kane were put in hospital care, which is where they began to bond. After being released, their bond grew to friendship, which grew to love and Kristy and Kane soon started a secret relationship.

Her family tried to stop their forbidden romance, but it only drove the love struck couple closer together. Kirsty and Kane fled Summer Bay three times, the first time returning because Kirsty missed her family too much. Kane tried to let her go, but could not live without his true love and returned to the bay to regain her love. Despite romances in his absence, when Kane returned to Summer Bay he stole Kirsty’s heart all over again.

Kane saved the Sutherland family yet again from being trapped in a cave, but when he later proposed to Kirsty, giving her an engagement ring with his bandaged hands, her family was less than happy. This, however, did not hold them back, and they still got married.

When they returned as Mr. and Mrs. Phillips they turned to Irene for a place to stay, which she allowed, on the condition they told Kirsty’s parents about the marriage. She pretended she was pregnant, and with this news her family could not object to their relationship. This exciting news had Kane over the moon until he found out she had lied. The couple faced more hardships causing them to separate for a while, but it wasn't long until their intense magnetism brought them back together. This time Kirsty truly was pregnant with a little boy.

In due time Kane was accepted in the Bay, and the couple lived for a short while in peace. They even renewed their vows with the big wedding Kirsty had always dreamed of. But during the pregnancy Kane was falsely convicted of a crime committed by his father and the two lovers fled the bay again. They have been living anonymously and on the run ever since.

Will their return mean please and stablilty for this young family? Who knows, it is Summer Bay afterall!
