There is panic in Summer Bay after Colby Thorne's (played by Tim Franklin) very public arrest by detective Angelo Rosetta (Luke Jacobz) on Home and Away (1:15pm/6:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings)...

Colby's younger sister, Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller), her boyfriend, Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) and friends, Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor), Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts) and Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman) all know that Colby is GUILTY of shooting dead his hated stapdad, Ross Nixon over a year ago.

However, now they face the very real possibility of seeing Colby sent to prison for the crime.
