Home and Away spoilers: There's a BIG shock for Bella Nixon in court...

Home and Away, Bella Nixon

Bella Nixon's worst nightmare comes true on Home and Away when she finds herself face-to-face again with internet stalker, Tommy...

Ever since Bella Nixon (played by Courtney Miller) agreed to testify on behalf of her friend Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) in court on Home and Away (1:15pm/6:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings), the teenager has been filled with panic at the thought of facing her attacker Tommy again.

So as Bella starts to have second thoughts about testifying for Irene after all, she's relieved when her policeman brother Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin) tells her Tommy will NOT be in court.

Not wanting to let Irene down, Bella takes the stand and prepares to tell the court how Irene was defending Bella from Tommy's attempted sexual assault when she whacked Tommy over the head at the Beach House.

However, Bella finds herself frozen with fear when Tommy (Adam Sollis) is called as a surprise witness and appears in court sitting in a wheelchair...
