Home and Away spoilers: WHO shocks Bella Nixon and Irene Roberts?

Irene Roberts and Bella Nixon are in for a SHOCK when someone takes matters into their own hands to "fix" Bella's attacker Tommy on Home and Away...

Irene Roberts (played by Lynne McGranger) and Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) hoped their nightmare would soon be over after facing-off against internet stalker/attacker Tommy O'Reilly on Home and Away (1:15pm/6:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings).

But now Tommy has launched a civil lawsuit against Irene for attacking him and wants $1,000,000!

Determined not to go down without a fight, Irene's friend Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) rings the support group to get help from someone in the know.

It's not long before Teresa (Simone McAullay) calls in at Summer Bay House with all kinds of extreme ideas for getting even with Tommy, including slander.

The next day, Irene and Bella are in for a shock when Teresa stumbles onto the Pier, covered in someone's blood! But whose? And what has Teresa done?

Meanwhile, teenager Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) is devastated when the cash offer he made for his dream car is turned down.

When Ryder's granddad Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) then turns the lad down for a $500 loan so he can afford the car, Ryder takes his frustrations out on Alf. After all, buying his dream car has been high on the list since Ryder started his new job as a barman at Salt.

However, all may not be lost when the next day Alf and his daughter Roo (Georgie Parker) have a BIG surprise for Ryder!
