Home and Away lines up drastic Dean plan after mysterious death

 He's going to great lengths to clear his name.

In scenes set to air in the UK in the next few weeks, Dean is about to find himself framed for murder in Home and Away.

Ruthless businessman, PK, is the unfortunate victim after he was brutally taken down with a wrench and his body found on the beach.

The wrench in question soon reappears coated in blood in Ziggy's car, and the finger of suspicion soon finds itself circling Dean – but he thinks he knows exactly who the real killer is.

While Dean is adamant that he had nothing to do with the wrench or the attack, some are hesitant to believe that he is telling them the truth. Not only does he have a history with PK, but his long association with the River Boys also serves to make it seem like he could well have been the one to do it.

It seems someone is keen to set him up for the crime, but is Dean right that the real villain of the piece is Nathan?

While speaking to TV Week, star Patrick O'Connor, has been giving his thoughts on the storyline, and what it is like for Dean to be the main suspect while knowing who the real culprit is.

"Dean is fuming that he's been framed. He's hoping it will be relatively easy to get a confession out of Nathan, but if not, he's prepared to go to extreme lengths to get it."

And those extreme lengths come in the form of the River Boys who hold Nathan hostage to try and force a confession out of him. But when the tried and tested violent approach does not work for them, Dean opts to go a little easier on him– but untying Nathan soon proves to be a mistake.

Nathan is quick to flee the scene and a desperate search in a junkyard follows. But will they be able to find Nathan, and does Dean have a chance at clearing his name?
