Home and Away's Colby Thorne is arrested for murder on UK screens next week after Angelo Rosetta takes a major gamble with his investigation.

Colby (Tim Franklin) has spent nearly two years covering up the fact that he killed his abusive stepfather Ross Nixon, but his luck is about to run out after a mystery betrayal.

In scenes airing on Channel 5 next week, Colby is at the Diner when Angelo (Luke Jacobz) swoops in with a team of police officers to arrest him.

The Summer Bay locals are in shock as they watch Colby get dragged off and put into a police car. At the station, Colby is stripped of his police uniform, taken for mugshots and accompanied off to his cell.


Colby struggles to process the surprising developments, aware that Angelo has previously struggled to gather together enough evidence to file charges.

It soon becomes clear that an unknown individual – Witness X – has come forward to betray Colby by giving a statement.

Colby desperately tries to figure out who's responsible, even accusing his younger sister Bella Nixon when she comes to see him at the station. Bella firmly denies being responsible.

Things get worse for Colby as a smug Angelo vows to do all he can to make sure that bail isn't granted.


Colby is terrified over his future, knowing that going on remand would be a death sentence due to his history as a police officer. However, Angelo is aware that he has taken a major risk by swooping in now, as his superiors in the force still believe that his case against Colby could have been stronger.

Will Angelo get his wish and see Colby behind bars sooner rather than later?

Home and Away airs these scenes on Monday, January 18 and Tuesday, January 19 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
