Home and Away's Rose Delaney faces huge work dilemma over Cash Newman

 Are Rose's concerns valid?

Home and Away's Rose Delaney faces a difficult work dilemma following her friend Cash Newman being accused of police brutality.

In scenes which will air this week, Rose is called in to give a statement regarding Cash's behaviour – which saw him brutally arrest a man accused of theft. Concerned for his job, Cash begs his colleague not to turn him in. However, Rose, who is still in shock over his behaviour, insists that he crossed a line and must face consequences.

Cash finally admits his actions were the result of a bad day but begs Rose not to tell the truth. However, Rose still isn't convinced by his plea, reminding him that as a policeman his 'bad days' can have serious consequences..

Later on, Cash lashes out at Rose for choosing to give a statement against him rather than helping cover the incident up. Upset at his behaviour, Rose tells her friend that she's trying to help him and has been concerned that he is struggling to deal with the aftermath of being shot while on duty.

Growing increasingly concerned for her friend's wellbeing, Rose points out that Cash hasn't been the same since the incident, morphing from a kind-hearted small-town cop into a heavy-handed policeman.

Her concerns don't seem to be shared by those around her. While Xander raises the idea of Cash continuing counselling, he ultimately decides it's better not to press him on the matter.

Meanwhile, Cash decides to bury his work concerns by going to visit his old flame Eden. The pair spend the night together but Eden is shocked the next day when Cash suddenly becomes cold towards her, noting that his behaviour is out of character.

Could Rose's concerns about Cash's change in behaviour be justified?
