Home and Away spoilers: Will Dana Matheson SURVIVE?
Airs Tuesday 31 October 2023 at 1:45pm on Channel 5.
Dana Matheson (played by Ally Harris) is determined not to give up without a fight on Home and Away (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
Dana has been kidnapped by corrupt copper Detective Madden (Jonny Pasvolsky) and his associate, Detective Fletcher (James Biasetto).
The dodgy duo intend to cover their tracks by framing Dana for a crime she didn't commit.
And then staging her death to look like a FATAL drugs overdose...
However, Dana has managed to buy herself some more time by making a brief, panicked phonecall to her sister, Harper (Jessica Redmayne), from Fletcher's swiped phone.
At Yabbie Creek Police Station, Rose Delaney (Kirsty Mariller) manages to get a trace on Dana's phone call to Harper.
The race is on to track down Dana, Madden and Fletcher before it's too late..
But Rose remains shocked that Police partner Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright) has broken the rules and secretly been helping Harper investigate Dana's case...
But with the clock ticking, is Madden about to get away with his crime?
After previously lying and claiming that fugitive Dana has escaped from Police custody and gone on the run again, menacing Madden begins to pen Dana's "suicide" letter...
Will copper Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright) arrive on the scene at the abandoned shack before Madden can inject captive Dana with a LETHAL dose?
