Home and Away, Colby Thorne

Colby's search for his missing sister Bella has hit a dead end. Can friends Robbo and Dean find a way to help the Summer Bay copper?

Colby Thorne has vowed to find his missing teenage sister Bella Nixon without the help of Inspector Neil Campbell, who offered policeman Colby information on Bella's whereabouts on the condition Colby breaks off his engagement to Neil's daughter Chelsea.

Both Colby and Chelsea have told Neil to stick his blackmailing offer and are now on a mission to find Bella themselves.

However, when the investigation hits a dead end, Colby turns to former Federal Agent friend Robbo for extra help in tracking down Bella, who vanished with their nasty stepdad Ross Nixon several years ago. What will Robbo find out?

Meanwhile, Robbo has troubles of his own close to home. Having just been with friend Tori Morgan to transfer the embryo for the IVF treatment, gym owner Robbo runs into problems with his girlfriend Jasmine Delaney who is still feeling uncomfortable about the whole arrangement.
