Home and Away's Robbo fights to clear his name next month after being framed for the murder of Hazel Easton.

A shock new storyline will see Robbo (Jake Ryan) face a possible jail sentence after scheming Ebony murders her own mother just to set him up for the crime.

The horrifying turn of events unfolds on screen on Channel 5 next week, as Ebony's revenge plans finally come to a head.

Ebony also gives Colby Thorne a potentially fatal dose of muscle relaxant, wanting to make him pay for shooting her brother Boyd dead earlier this year.

As seen in these new spoiler pictures, Robbo's frustrations will grow when the police refuse to believe that he has nothing to do with Hazel's murder.

Desperately needing allies, Robbo confides in Tori and Justin Morgan (Penny McNamee and James Stewart) about what's going on, explaining that Ebony has been plotting revenge for Boyd's death for weeks now.

Although the Morgans try their best to help Robbo, it's Jasmine Delaney who makes the crucial breakthrough when she realises that Colby must have been poisoned with drugs stolen from the hospital.

When Jasmine checks the CCTV footage, Ebony is seen stealing from the hospital's stock – a tell-tale sign of her guilt in Colby's case and a possible lifeline for Robbo too.

Tori and Justin take the evidence along to the police station, explaining that Ebony has been targeting both Robbo and Colby. But will the authorities believe that Hazel's murder and Colby's near-death experience are linked?

Elsewhere in Summer Bay, Willow Harris reluctantly gets dragged into another cash con when Dean Thompson warns that he needs money quickly.

Willow (Sarah Roberts) feels terrible when Dean explains that he's got himself in deep trouble with a loan shark after stepping in to pay off her gambling debts.

Dean (Patrick O'Connor) wants a quick fix solution by skimming credit cards at Salt, so he ropes in Willow to help him install the secret device at the restaurant.

After the couple's handiwork, they lie in wait at Salt, ready to collect the skimmer again at the end of the night. However, just when they're making a run for it later on, they accidentally knock over Alf Stewart, who's finishing up for the night at the surf club office downstairs.

As Alf is knocked unconscious, has Willow and Dean's criminal activity had terrible consequences?
