Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away's Irene Roberts makes a risky decision on Australian screens next week following her shock arrest.
In dramatic scenes that aired in Australia at the end of last week, Irene and Harper were both arrested and forced to spend the night behind bars for harbouring fugitive Dana.
Dana is on the run from police after her ex-boyfriend framed her for a drugs charge.

Cash eventually shows up at the police station after several frantic phone calls from John, only to tell Irene that he can't do anything while he's suspended.
The next day, Irene and Harper are released but are strongly advised to get lawyers ahead of their court date. Harper is quick to find counsel, but Irene dismisses the magistrate's advice.
Could Irene's decision see things take a dark turn for the Summer Bay stalwart?
