A new Home and Away promo has dropped, giving fans their first glimpse of two brand new characters headed to Summer Bay in the coming months.
The 90-second teaser, narrated by long-time character Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher), is a montage of up-coming moments, and shows two new faces: recently announced Wentworth favourite Nicole da Silva, who joins the show as Dr Amelia Carlisle, and newcomer Rocco Forrester-Sach, who will be playing a new Yabbie Creek police recruit named Richie Brezniak.
An official release hints he might be about to ruffle some feathers down at the local cop shop:
“Rookie Richie’s enthusiasm is set to test Senior Constable Cash Newman’s (Nicholas Cartwright) patience, and off-duty, he is poised to make waves with Abby Fowler (Hailey Pinto),” it reads.
“Is Abby about to fall for the Bay’s newest heartthrob?”
As well as giving fans a first sneak-peek at the new characters, the teaser also hints at rocky roads ahead for some of the Bay’s favourites, including Tane Parata (Ethan Brown), who is seen recovering in hospital after being attacked.
A devastated Mackenzie (Emily Weir) is shown keeping vigil by his hospital bedside, “willing him to pull through.”
But it’s not all doom and gloom — single mum Harper Matheson (Jessica Redmayne) may have found a new romantic partner — she is pictured sharing a romantic kiss with a fresh new face on the beach in Summer Bay.
Home and Away airs 7.00pm Monday to Thursday on Seven and 7plus.
