Home and Away's Maddy Osborne and Josh Barrett will be considered the main suspects over an arson attack in an upcoming storyline.

The police will inform Roo that they have footage of Maddy and boyfriend Josh prior to a fire breaking out at Mangrove River High.

Kassandra Clementi - who plays Maddy - said to TV Week: "The fire was pretty bad. The whole school is now unusable and the students have nowhere to go.

"Maddy and Josh were the last ones seen on the surveillance footage, as they were sleeping in the school when they had run away."

The situation puts pressure on Roo, who struggles to cope with the fact the teenagers were at the scene of the crime.

Clementi said: "Roo freaks out because she knows if there is hard evidence, they may be involved. She is scared Josh and Maddy could get into a lot of trouble.

"Roo thinks Josh is bad news. He has already caused a lot of damage and Maddy continues to be there for him. With Josh's track record, the fire is definitely something Roo thinks he could have done."

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 7pm on Network Seven in Australia.

Home and Away's UK fans get their first glimpse of newcomers Josh and Andy Barrett later this month as they cause a dramatic road crash.

Casey Braxton (Lincoln Younes) and Maddy Osborne (Kassandra Clementi) are driving home at night when they are targeted by the Barrett brothers in frightening scenes.

The drama begins when Maddy meets Josh (pictured above left) at Heath and Bianca's wedding reception and there's an immediate spark between them.

With Casey slightly concerned over Maddy's wellbeing, he promises Roo that he'll drive her home safely once the night is over - but this plan goes awry when Maddy and Josh give him the slip.

Casey eventually manages to track a drunken Maddy down and insists that she's going home, leading to a clash with Josh and his sibling Andy.

Soon afterwards, while Casey is driving Maddy back, Josh and Andy loom behind them in another vehicle and proceed to ram the car until they are run off the road…

The Barretts are new bad boys for Home and Away and have a secret history with the Braxton family, which will be explored over the next few weeks.

Over on Home and Away, Andy Barrett needs urgent medical attention when he makes a surprise reappearance in Summer Bay.

Andy (Tai Hara) turns up just as his brother Josh gets involved in a fight with bad boy Matt Page, and he immediately takes control of the situation by jumping to Josh's defence and shoving Matt against a wall.

Josh is surprised to see that Andy is back in town and out of prison, but there is little time for explanations when it becomes clear that Andy has been seriously wounded.

Doctor Nate Cooper (Kyle Pryor) wants to take Andy to the hospital for treatment after spotting the injury, but when he refuses to go, Heath Braxton offers up his place as an alternative location for Nate to operate on Andy.

Nate tries his best to help Andy with assistance from Ricky, but when they realise that he's been stabbed, it's clear that it won't be an easy task…

Home and Away's Andy Barrett will find himself in serious danger when someone from his past turns up in Summer Bay.

Andy will be thrown when old enemy Sean arrives, just as he lands himself a new job and believes that his life is finally getting back on track.

Tai Hara, who plays Andy, said to TV Week: "Sean's part of Andy's dark past and he's come back to tie up some unfinished business. Andy has just started working at the gym and everything is looking on the up for him."

It soon transpires that Andy and Sean did a dodgy deal that landed Sean a stint in prison. Sean now wants Andy to go to the police and clear his name, threatening Josh and his girlfriend Maddy if Andy fails to comply with the order.

However, when Andy later goes to confront Sean over his threats, Sean is not alone and Andy finds himself outnumbered and in a very dangerous situation.

Hara said: "Andy is shocked because Sean's the last person he expected to see in Summer Bay. Andy thought he was in jail.

"Andy feels responsible for putting Josh and Maddy at risk. He doesn't want them involved."

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 7pm on Network Seven in Australia.

Also on Home and Away, Maddy Osborne is upset when Josh Barrett doesn't defend her to his brother Andy.

Josh is becoming increasingly angry by Andy's aggressive behaviour and is left further riled when Andy encourages him to quit school.

When Josh (Jackson Gallagher) explains that he wants to work things out with Maddy, who is currently giving him some space, Andy tries another tactic by warning Josh that Montgomery is going to humiliate him for being late.

Although Andy was correct, Leah sees Montgomery berate him in front of the class, causing Josh to storm out feeling overwhelmed. When Maddy (Kassandra Clementi) catches up with him, Josh loses patience with her and explains that he doesn't need her to fix him.

As Maddy protests that she wants them to be together, Andy interrupts and starts giving her a hard time. Instead of standing up for her, Josh stays quiet, leaving Maddy devastated.

Sean (Khan Chittenden) is an old acquaintance of Andy Barrett, who turns up in Summer Bay with a score to settle. However, his threatening behaviour soon leads to him getting on the wrong side of Kyle Braxton.

Kyle shows his ruthless side as he tries to get rid of Sean, initially offering him a bribe to leave the Bay. When Sean turns violent, Kyle gets the upper hand and beats him badly.

Sean is left so injured that he needs medical attention, so he heads to Irene's house as he wrongly believes that she is a doctor after getting his wires crossed in a previous discussion with Chris Harrington.

Irene, Chris, Sasha and Spencer all end up being held at knifepoint by an increasingly-manic Sean, who refuses to accept that they can't help him…

Home and Away's Josh Barrett will betray his girlfriend Maddy Osborne by sharing a kiss with Evie MacGuire in an upcoming storyline.

Josh (Jackson Gallagher) will grow closer to Evie (Phillipa Northeast) after cracks appear in his relationship with Maddy as she struggles to cope with Roo Stewart's illness.

After having an argument with Maddy (Kassandra Clementi), Josh becomes drawn to Evie as the pair spend time together at the farm.

Gallagher said to TV Week: "When Evie suggests getting away to the farm for some fresh air, Josh jumps at it. Any distraction at that point is needed.

"At the farm they stumble upon a neighbour's horse that's escaped from the paddock. Josh suggests they ride it back! Does it get more romantic?"

After spending the day together, Josh and Evie share a kiss, leading Josh to wonder whether he still has feelings for Maddy.

Gallagher said: "There is a moment of young passion and they share a kiss. Josh realises maybe his feelings for Maddy aren't there anymore. He sees something in Evie that excites him."
