Kane Phillips is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, played by Sam Atwell. He first appeared during the episode airing on 9 April 2001 and made his final appearance on 5 March 2009.
In 2004, viewers saw Kane undergo a battle with Testicular Cancer. Atwell told of the lengths his character goes to hide his illness from his wife, Kirsty (Christie Hayes). “He’s just focused on not ruining Kirsty’s exam chances.” He added; “Then Kirsty turns up to babysit and Kane hides in the surgery. But when he realises his mobile is in the house he creates a diversion to grab it and even wears a disguise!”
Kane is first seen in school at Summer Bay High, when a group of Year 9 students talk about a Dance party he is hosting. Kane tries to woo one of his teachers, Shauna Bradley (Kylie Watson) by getting her tickets to see Savage Garden in concert but she declines. Kane's brother, Scott (Nathaniel Dean) kidnaps Shauna and Kane is forced into being an accessory, however, he later saves Shauna.
Kane tries his luck with Dani Sutherland (Tammin Sursok), who is currently on a break from Will Smith (Zac Drayson). This leads to Kane raping Dani one day while they are alone in at her house. Will finds out and incensed and starts a fight with Kane but is jumped by several of Kane's friends. Local headmaster Donald Fisher (Norman Coburn) intervenes but is given a kicking for his troubles. Kane stands trial with Morag Bellingham (Cornelia Frances) presiding as the judge and is found not guilty, leaving Dani distraught. After Kane tearfully apologizes to Dani, he leaves the bay.
