Home and Away spoilers follow from Tuesday's Australian episode (October 4), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away has revealed more details about Bree Cameron's abusive marriage.
Show bosses have cast former The Heights actor Alex Williams as Summer Bay newcomer Jacob, who is Bree's villainous husband.
In Tuesday's episode on Channel 7, the soap revealed that Jacob is violent towards Bree.
An upsetting chain of events took place after Jacob became jealous over Bree's friendship with Remi Carter.

When alone in her motel room for a while, Bree phoned Remi and asked him to keep his distance to avoid upsetting Jacob while he's in town.
Remi found this request strange, but agreed to go along with it.
Later, when Jacob approached him near the beach, Remi defended Bree and insisted that there was nothing going on between them.
Remi also mentioned that Bree had been in touch a short while ago, which fuelled Jacob's terrible temper once again.

When Jacob returned to the motel, he confronted Bree with irrational accusations of betrayal and became violent towards her.
A devastated Bree urged Jacob to see that his behaviour is unacceptable, and their conversation revealed to viewers that it wasn't the first incident of domestic violence.
Bree explained: "We've talked about this. You can't keep doing this to me. You need help. There are no other guys. Whatever it is that you think is going on, it's all in your head."
Later, Remi visited Bree while she was on shift at the hospital and was alarmed to see that she was injured.

Remi immediately realised that Jacob was responsible, but their conversation was cut short when Jacob arrived early to pick up Bree.
With Remi deeply worried, can he find a way to help Bree?
