Neighbours characters held at gunpoint in terrifying scenes

David was recently locked up ahead of his sentencing for medical manslaughter - with his bail taken away after he was caught planning to flee the country. This was actually a simple misunderstanding following David, husband Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) and Nicolette becoming stuck on a boat in the sea just as David was due to check in as per his bail conditions.

Freya has been trying to help her friend; but things are set to escalate very quickly. In upcoming scenes Emma bursts into Freya's home armed with a gun, holding both Freya and Kiri hostage.

Emma instructs Freya to save the life of a man called Austin, who is severely injured. Freya tries to explain that Austin needs to go to the hospital as there's little she can do; but Emma won't listen and demands that she get to work.

It's not long before Nicolette arrives, walking right in the middle of this perilous situation. And with Emma in contact with an inmate who now has an injured David at his mercy, she threatens his life unless the three women do as she says.

As Freya, Nic and Kiri realise they need to act fast, Nicolette distracts Emma so Freya can tackle her to the ground. But that doesn't help David, who is still at risk. Will he be OK, or is it already too late?
