Spoilers: Shock witness at Irene’s trial in Home and Away

10/11/2019

Irene (Lynne McGranger) has been nervously awaiting her court trial for a while now, and her lawyer has been hard at work preparing both her and Bella (Courtney Miller) to discuss the events that went down with Tommy (Adam Sollis) in front of a jury. Now the day has come for them both to find out what Irene’s sentence will be for attacking Tommy after getting him off Bella during an act of assault.

While court prepares to begin, Bella is having a panic attack at home, with Colby (Tim Franklin) trying to calm her down. Bella is saying she can’t testify for Irene as the trauma of Tommy’s assault is much too raw. Colby tells her that what Tommy did isn’t her fault – but the question remains: will she be able to testify for Irene?

Meanwhile, Irene and Leah (Ada Nicodemou) have met with the lawyer and are concerned that Bella is nowhere to be seen. Leah encourages her to press on with the trial. It’s a difficult start for Irene as the prosecutor lists her criminal allegations.

When a witness is called to the stand, Irene is stunned, and her lawyer protests. However, the judge overrules him, and lets the witness go forward. In a wheelchair and shedding crocodile tears is Tommy, who recounts his version of events – which is full of lies.

He says that he and Bella were intimate, and he feared for his life when Irene attacked him. Irene’s anger continues to mount as he gives his statement, and she eventually snaps, calling out Tommy for his behaviour…what does this mean for Irene and her case?
