Home and Away spoilers: Bella Nixon returns to Summer Bay!

Home and Away, Bella Nixon

Dean gets an unexpected call from Bella Nixon on Home and Away. She is ready to leave therapy camp and come back to the Bay. But is Bella hiding something?

Bella Nixon (played by Courtney Miller) has been away at therapy camp on Home and Away (1:15pm/6:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Bella's big brother, Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin) sent the teenager off for professional help several weeks ago, after another nightmare incident when Bella self-harmed.

However, now that Bella is ready to leave therapy camp and return to Summer Bay, it's not Colby she calls.

Family friends, Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor) and Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts) wonder what's going on, when Bella calls Dean and asks him to collect her from the therapy centre.

WHY is Bella avoiding Colby? And why does she have three mystery handwritten letters in her bag?

Will grouchy John end-up pushing Marilyn away again?
