Yahoo News Home and Away's Dean fears arrest over Ross's murder
Home and Away spoilers follow from this week's Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away's Dean Thompson is fearing arrest following the shock news that Ross Nixon's body has been found.
Dean flew into a panic in Wednesday's episode on Australian screens (August 12), realising that tell-tale clues at the crime scene could potentially point to his involvement.
This week's Australian episodes have delved back into the Ross storyline, 18 months after the villain was murdered by Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin).
Ross's body was found by chance by hikers, so the police have launched an immediate investigation to uncover what happened to him.

In Wednesday's visit to Summer Bay, Colby tried his best to remain calm over the possibility of his guilt finally being exposed.
With Dean, Willow and Bella all aware of his dark secret, Colby assured them all that it was best to remain calm to avoid arousing suspicion.
The Summer Bay cop also seemed confident that his position in the police force would work in his favour, allowing him to keep track of the investigation and keep the heat off himself.
Unfortunately for Colby, his loved ones all struggled to keep their own composure as they began to freak out.

Dean was particularly worried, remembering that he made visits back to Ross's burial spot while sleepwalking last year.
These scenes aired in March 2019, showing Dean struggling with his guilty conscience after helping to cover up Colby's crime and bury Ross's body.
In Home and Away's latest episode, Dean told Colby that he fears evidence – such as hair or blood – could still be left behind from those night-time visits.
Colby assured Dean this wasn't possible, as well over a year has passed and any evidence would be long gone.

Meanwhile, Bella feared it was only a matter of time before Colby was arrested and suggested they should go on the run.
Colby refused to consider this, pointing out that it would only make him look guilty. But with familiar face Angelo Rosetta returning to Summer Bay to investigate the crime, could Colby end up regretting his decision not to flee when he had the chance?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in September.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
