11 Home and Away spoilers for next week
Note: This Home and Away spoilers article is aimed towards UK readers watching at Channel 5 pace.
Next week's Home and Away episodes feature emotional scenes as Irene Roberts goes on trial, while Jasmine Delaney is kidnapped by Robbo's enemies.
Here's a full collection of 11 storylines coming up.
1. Irene's trial gets off to a bad start
It's a huge week for Summer Bay legend Irene, as she faces court for her attack on evil Tommy. Tommy appears as a surprise witness during the trial, giving a version of events which is full of lies.
Irene is appalled when Tommy falsely claims that he and Bella were intimate on a consensual basis. He then sheds crocodile tears, explaining that he feared for his life when Irene turned violent.
2. Colby loses his temper
Keen to make sure that Irene doesn't get sent to prison for defending her, Bella also gives evidence and bravely recounts her ordeal with Tommy. Colby is present to support his sister, but proves to be more of a hindrance than a help when he loses his temper in the courtroom.
Disgusted by the reminder of what Bella went through, Colby unleashes his anger towards Tommy and causes a scene. Tommy sits smugly as Colby's outburst sparks chaos in the courtroom and causes the case to be adjourned for the day.
3. Bella tries to turn things around for Irene
Thanks to Colby's angry behaviour, Bella has to face the ordeal of entering the witness box for a second day running. Fortunately, she manages to answer questions that she'd previously struggled with, ignoring Tommy's presence and focusing solely on her own testimony.
It's a powerful and emotional moment when Bella later looks Tommy straight in the eye and declares that he's a rapist. Will this help to sway the outcome of Irene's case?
4. Irene receives unexpected levels of support
Irene is pleased when a survivor's group attends the trial, complete with chants and placards to support her. However, things take a worrying turn when Leah's blog is inundated with angry posts, which threaten vigilante action if Irene isn't found innocent.
Although Irene is pleased to have people on her side, she also fears that this could affect the outcome of the hearing – and potentially create blood on the streets in her name.
Irene is also encouraged to put herself at the centre of a large-scale media campaign to raise awareness, but will she want to be involved?
5. Robbo receives a new threat
Robbo is alarmed when his gangster enemies send him a new threat, warning that he has just 48 hours left to track down Dylan Carter. At a loss, Robbo tells Jasmine that the only option is to get her safely out of the country, where the criminals hopefully won't be able to get to her.
Jasmine stubbornly refuses to give into the threats, so Robbo takes drastic action by showing her crime scene photos from the day that his family were murdered. Finally getting the message, Jasmine agrees to flee.
6. Jasmine is kidnapped
After finalising the paperwork which will ensure Jasmine is sent away for the time being, Robbo says his goodbyes to his new wife and hopes that he's doing the right thing.
Unfortunately, while Jasmine is on the way to the airport with Robbo's friend Scott, their car is ambushed and she's kidnapped. Looks like this getaway attempt was too little, too late.
7. Raffy receives a new opportunity
Raffy continues to live in fear of suffering new seizures now that she's no longer part of the CBD oil medical trial. She also feels betrayed when she finds out that Justin has found other similar trials interstate, but hasn't told her because he doesn't want her to move away.
Eventually, it's agreed that Raffy can apply for a medical trial in Melbourne and move in with Brody if her application is accepted. Will this lead to Raffy's departure from Summer Bay?
8. Alex rejects Mason
Alex appears to have attracted the attention of two different Summer Bay locals, as Willow grows closer to her new friend and Mason also can't help admiring the new doctor in town.
Mason is grateful when Alex reveals that she has put in a good word for him, potentially moving his internship closer to home. However, when Mason misreads the signs and makes a move on Alex, she clarifies that she's not interested in guys.
9. Karen finds out who Mackenzie is
When Karen asks Mackenzie for a job at Salt, Dean has to bite the bullet and tell his mum that Mac is the daughter of Rick Booth. Karen predictably reacts badly to the revelation, and threatens to cut her stay in Summer Bay short after hearing that Dean is giving his long-lost sister a chance.
Dean convinces Karen to hear him out, promising that there's room for both her and Mackenzie in his life. As Karen calms down, she accuses Dean of not trusting her to handle anything bad and urges him to be more honest in future.
10. Ryder is questioned over his future
Roo continues to interfere in Ryder's life, believing that he's making a terrible mistake by ruling out university now that he's finishing up at Summer Bay High. Ryder remains adamant that uni life isn't for him and resents Roo's interference.
After time to think, Ryder takes his future into his own hands by making plans to secure an official qualification in hospitality. Roo is delighted to hear that the teenager has some direction once again.
11. Ben and Maggie reach a turning point
Ben is relieved when he has a meeting with the federal police over the drugs charges he's facing. Although they're not clearing him, they privately admit that they believe he was set up, which gives him fresh hope.
Later, Ben apologises to Maggie for what he has put her through recently, assuring her that he loves her. Are they reaching a positive turning point?
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5, with first look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR.
