Horror in Home and Away as a sickening stalker targets THIS vulnerable Summer Bay resident

Home and Away's Bella Nixon lands herself in serious danger when her online 'friend' starts stalking her...

There's danger lurking in today's Home and Away when Bella Nixon's online friend 'Tommy' shows his sinister side when he starts watching her through her computer webcam without her knowing.

Home and Away fans have watched teenage Bella going off the rails over recent months, with her big brother Colby Thorne trying his best to get her on the straight and narrow.

Even moving in with Irene Roberts didn't seem to be helping matters, until she met the mysterious Tommy on a school forum online.

Since meeting Tommy Bella has been like a different person. She has been getting amazing grades at school, she's focused, and her relationship with Colby is better than it has ever been.

But while everyone is pleased to see Bella doing well, little do they know it's actually mysterious Tommy's influence that has helped her change.

However, what Bella doesn't realise is that Tommy isn't as nice as he makes out. Despite the fact he has already admitted to her that he is a teacher and not a student like she assumed, Bella has continued to chat to Tommy.

But today's Home and Away sees Bella's online 'friend' turn even more sinister when he offers to help her with a photography assignment for school.

When Bella tells him that she needs a digital camera for the project, she surprises her by delivering a new and shiny camera to her door the next morning.

But while Bella is pleased with her new gift, she is oblivious to the danger she is in now that Tommy knows where she lives.

However, she doesn't just need to be worried about him knowing her address... because he can now see her any time he likes through the webcam on her computer.

As Bella unwraps the camera from the gift box, the mysterious Tommy can be seen spying on her from his own laptop.

But what else does Bella's stalker have in mind for her? He might just be giving her digital cameras now, but what's next?
