Home and Away is lining up more turmoil for Jett James, as he faces an official interview over the deaths of his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan.

Jett (Will McDonald) will be visited by representatives from the army, who are determined to get answers over the explosion that changed his life forever.

A new trailer on air in Australia has given fans their first look at the storyline, as Jett confides in his foster parents John Palmer (Shane Withington) and Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons) about what's expected of him.

Jett explains that the incident in Afghanistan is under official investigation and he needs to be questioned as soon as possible.

Concerned over the implications, John pointedly asks: "Well they don't think you've done anything wrong?"

Jett is visibly nervous as he faces the interview – could there be any basis to John's fears that he might bear some responsibility for what happened that day? Could there have been negligence at play?

Recent scenes on air in Australia have seen Jett receive the news that he'll never walk again after the injuries he sustained in the explosion abroad.

The same incident also killed some of Jett's fellow soldiers, leaving John and Marilyn horrified by the realisation of how close they came to losing him.

Although Jett initially went into denial following the bad news about his injuries, more recent scenes in Australia have seen him start to adjust to his new reality – including making positive progress with learning to use a wheelchair. But could the upcoming interview prove to be another setback?

Home and Away airs the interview scenes next week in Australia and late May in the UK.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
