Also ahead on Summer Bay, Brax makes a big mistake when he heads back out to the country in order to extract a confession from barman Sam.

With Brax (Steve Peacocke) increasingly desperate to clear his name as he continues to be the prime suspect for Dean's murder, he and Ash both decide that they need to prove Sam's guilt.

However, with Brax on bail and policewoman Kat keen to keep tabs on him, Brax knows he is taking a big risk by breaching his conditions and escaping the area.

Although both Kyle and Ricky worry about the risks involved, the pair manage to head out of the Bay unseen and they soon arrive in the town where Sam lives.

However, once they have got hold of Sam, he tells them that he won't change his statement and although it becomes clear that Sam definitely killed Dean, he has no intention of confessing.

As Sam tells Ash that he should be grateful that he didn't stitch up him as well, Brax and Ash soon realise that Sam has called the police. Has Brax landed himself in more trouble?

Home and Away's Brax will be thrown by an unexpected twist in court as he stands trial for Dean's murder.

The twist will come after Brax (Steve Peacocke) is given fresh hope by his lawyer, who believes he has found a way to finally prove his innocence.

Viewers know that Brax has been wrongly accused of killing the villain, and his lawyer will provide evidence that could point the finger at Sam, who is the real culprit.

As the trial begins, Brax and Ricky remain more desperate than ever to clear his name. With the only real hope resting on barman Sam coming forward and confessing, Brax is relieved when his lawyer manages to get hold of police and medical reports proving that Dean once assaulted Sam.

Brax knows that Sam's motivation for killing Dean was because of that attack, which subsequently put a stop on Sam's life ambition of becoming a pilot.

The evidence is enough to prove that Sam had a motive for killing Dean, and excites both Ricky and Brax as they start to contemplate Brax actually walking free.

However, with the trial already taking its toll on a pregnant Ricky, the family are thrown when there is an unexpected twist that could leave Brax's future looking very bleak.

Bonnie Sveen, who plays Ricky, told TV Week: "There isn't a lot of control in their hands at this stage.

"Ricky fears that him going back [to prison] could break him. He could turn self-destructive and violent like he was back then.

"The audience will know it has been a long journey for these two and how difficult it has been for Ricky to tame this lion. She helped him to see what he wanted, and that was to commit to his family."

Also ahead on Summer Bay, Brax has some tough decisions to make as he finally faces up to reality and contemplates a life in jail.

After agreeing to work alongside his partner Ricky (Bonnie Sveen) in order to tackle the case sensibly, Brax (Steve Peacocke) is left devastated after a meeting with his lawyer.

The lawyer explains to Ricky and Brax that the prosecution's case is watertight and as they have no evidence to prove that Brax didn't kill Dean, he is likely to be convicted and subsequently face 20 years in prison.

When his lawyer advises Brax to either accuse Ash in order to create reasonable doubt, or to plead guilty and receive a lighter sentence, Brax becomes angry and lashes out at him.

Later, Ricky advises Brax to consider pleading guilty if he wants to be around for their son while he is still a child. However, when Brax discusses the situation with Ash, he advises against it.

After much reflection, Brax realises that he has to do what is best for Ricky and his unborn son. With a heavy heart, Brax calls his lawyer and asks him to do a deal - he is going to plead guilty. Is Brax really willing to go to prison for a crime he didn't commit?

Home and Away will air a dramatic climax to Brax's prison story when he is presumed dead after a car accident.

The latest drama for Brax (Steve Peacocke) kicks off as he attempts to escape prison with the help of his friend Ash and brother Kyle.

Although the plan is for Ash to intercept the car that Brax is being transported to another prison in, it all goes drastically wrong when a truck starts chasing them.

The truck eventually runs the car off the road and into a river, where panic ensues. While the prison officer quickly emerges from the water, Brax is nowhere to be seen which prompts a desperate search to try and find him.

Kat and a team of officers scour the river for any sign of Brax to no avail and they are forced to accept that Brax is more than likely dead.

Kat is then given the difficult task of breaking the news to Ricky, who is already out of her mind with worry over Brax's risky escape plan.

With a heavy heart, Kat tells Ricky, Kyle and Billie about the accident, adding that they will probably never find Brax's body.

A heartbroken Ricky finds herself unable to process the news as she now has to comprehend a life without Brax altogether.

George Mason, who plays Ash, told TV Week: "Ricky is in shock and doesn't deal with the news at all. It has gone from bad to worse for them.

"First, Brax was serving a sentence for 20 years and now he is dead."

Brax's final scenes will be aired next week in Australia and later in the summer in the UK.

There goes my theory that it was Billie, Ash`s sister who was the real killer of Dean.

I bet Brax will appear in a few years when his Hollywood hunt for stardom comes to nowt.
