Home and Away, Colby Thorne, Dean Thompson

There's a surfer dude showdown on Home and Away, when Colby confronts Dean over his break-up with Dean's sister Mackenzie...

One-time River Boys buddies Colby Thorne (played by Tim Franklin) and Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor) had a bust-up on Home and Away, after Dean discovered Colby had secretly been hooking-up with Dean's sister Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir).

However, while it's clear there's still chemistry between Colby and Mackenzie, the pair called it quits after Dean's negative reaction and massive rant.

But friend Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts) can see how down-in-the-dumps Colby is about breaking-up with Mackenzie.

Colby's frustrations come out during a heated confrontation with Dean down at the beach, and when Mackenzie accidentally overhears everything, she is furious to discover Dean's ultimatum was the reason she and Colby had to break-up!

Meanwhile, Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost) is still reeling from the turn of events involving her husband Robbo (Jake Ryan) and wants to take him to hospital.

But federal agent Scott Larkin (Trent Baines) says it is too dangerous, with the Ourboros gang watching their every move.
