"Is Abby about to fall for the Bay’s newest heartthrob?"
In the new teaser, fans were treated to a look at the recently announced Nicole da Silva, who is on board to play Dr Amelia Carlisle, and newcomer Rocco Forrester-Sach, who is set to star as Yabbie Creek police recruit Richie Brezniak (via The West).
Narrated by Alf Stewart, the teaser for the Australian soap shared a look at some of the moments set to take place in Summer Bay in the coming months.
In an official
press release, Home and Away confirmed that Rocco's character will ruffle
some feathers at the station.
It reads:
"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). Is Abby about to fall for the Bay’s newest
heartthrob?"
Nicole's
casting was announced earlier this month,
with the star confirming that filming had already begun for what is described
as a regular role.
She is known for her portrayal of Franky
Doyle in the acclaimed Australian prison drama Wentworth, a modern-day reimagining of the
'80s prison drama Prisoner.
"To be honest, it was a great opportunity, and it came at exactly the right time: I am a single parent, and to be able to live and work in Sydney, where I am raising my daughter, meant we could stay around our community [and be around] our friends and our family.
"It meant I could provide that consistency - and that was a big, key element."
The pair are now working together.
EastEnders’ Lauren Beale and Mark Fowler found some chemistry together tonight, after a business deal went wrong for Lauren. The pair have had a rocky relationship in recent months, with Mark setting Lauren up to have one of her cars stolen as well as trying to rope her into one of his dodgy schemes.
But Lauren has become pretty desperate in recent weeks, after making a bet with Max that she could sell £80,000 worth of cars within a month.
On Monday's episode, Alfie Moon put Lauren in contact with his friend Ray, who had vintage cars for sale.
She also struck a deal with Phil Mitchell, with him agreeing to repair the cars before they’re sold on.
Lauren then purchased a car from Ray but when it arrived, she realised she'd been conned as the car was nothing more than a heap of junk.
Tonight (Tuesday, 21 April) Mark, who Phil had passed Lauren's work on to, had a look at the car and confirmed it was unsellable.
Knowing Lauren was upset about being scammed and losing her money, Mark offered to sort the problem for her.
At the gym, Mark phoned Ray and asked him to come down and meet him. Not trusting Mark, Lauren said she would talk to Ray when he arrived.
When Ray got to the gym Mark brought him into the office where Lauren was waiting.
Lauren told him that she wanted her money back as the car he'd sold her wasn't as described.
When Ray refused to refund her, Mark stepped in, saying he was Lauren's boyfriend and he wasn't going to stand for anyone scamming the woman he loves.
Mark told Ray: "You're breaking up the greatest love story ever told here," as Lauren continued to tell him to stay out of it.
But when Ray still wouldn't agree to a refund, Mark changed tact, telling him he'd looked into his family and knew where his children went to school.
Issuing a threat, Mark said that if Ray wanted his kids to be able to walk home safely, he'd better give Lauren what she paid for.
Ray agreed and later Mark and Lauren went to The Vic together and celebrate over a drink.
When Lauren wasn't as grateful as Mark expected her to be, he asked if she was annoyed about him pretending to be her boyfriend.
But Lauren shrugged it off, telling him: "It's the least believable thing you said."
Alfie then told Lauren that Ray was sorry and didn't mean to 'scam' her and her new car would be there tomorrow.
Mark then said he believed their partnership was going to be good and he could teach her some things.
Later, in The Arches, Mark offered to teach Lauren some basic car mechanics so she could "spot a wrong 'un a mile off".
"Trust me, I can spot a wrong 'un," Lauren told him, before walking off.
Could Lauren and Mark's partnership blossom into something more?
Sarah Roberts cosied up to her new boyfriend Jake Lesu as the pair shared a heartfelt goodbye in Canada, ahead of him working abroad for several months.
The former Home and Away star, 41, shared a heartfelt gallery of photos to social media on Tuesday, which captured her spending some quality time with the Australian cinematographer in the Canadian wilderness, ahead of his move.
One sweet photo captured Jake tenderly cradling Sarah and kissing her cheek, as the lovers posed in front of a scenic mountainside creek.
Another stunning shot showed Sarah reciprocating by kissing Jake's face as the pair happily posed alongside a ski lift in the Vancouver mountains.
She captioned the photos with some bittersweet words: 'Can we just float here for a while longer please? So lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. So proud of my human.
'The Canadian film industry are so lucky to have your hands on their tools. I'm gonna miss them on me but will take one for the team to see you soar! #untilAugust.'
Sarah and Jake, a veteran cameraman who has worked on many big budget movies including Mad Max: Fury Road and Thor: Love and Thunder, went public with their romance in June last year.
The actress was spotted hand-in-hand with her new boyfriend while out and about in Sydney, marking the first time she's been seen publicly with a partner since her 2023 divorce from her Home and Away co-star James Stewart.
The pair appeared smitten as they strolled the streets, grabbed food, and packed on the PDA while window shopping.
It was a new chapter for the actor and DJ, who admitted in a raw interview with Stellar magazine that her marriage breakdown had left her emotionally shattered.
'I've been really afraid of talking about this because of what I've felt to be the stigma and shame around it. But I just want to say that I am divorced,' she said in April 2024.
Sarah and James met on the Home and Away set in 2017, quickly falling in love before tying the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in Ireland in 2019.
But behind closed doors, cracks soon started to appear.
'I'll never speak on anyone else's behalf, but my belief in marriage is that two people grow and learn from each other together,' she said.
Sometimes people just grow apart, and that's OK.'
While Stewart has since moved on with his Home and Away co-star Ada Nicodemou – a pairing that stunned fans when it was revealed - Sarah is now carving out a path of her own.
According to New Idea, Jake works as a Steadicam operator and 'occasional pilot', and recently showcased his artwork at an exhibition titled A Piece of Art in Crows Nest.
Speaking about her new romance, Sarah recently said: 'I feel grateful that I found him, because he's allowed me to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways.
'But if I didn't have that, I would still be OK. Because I finally found myself, as clichéd as that may sound.'
Sarah rose to fame playing the character of Willow on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021 and recently revealed she still keeps close with her former soap co-stars - and why Hollywood is her next stop.
'One of my best friends was one of my cast mates on Neighbours. That goes way back. Another one of my best friends, Emily Weir, she's from Home and Away,' Sarah previously told Daily Mail.
'I've also made friends with a lot of the new cast from Home and Away because Emily is friends with them and we all hang out together.
Who will he choose?
Hollyoaks' Ste Hay faces a tough decision when torn between his fiancé Rex Gallagher and his ex-husband James Nightingale. Ste and Rex's relationship has been on the rocks since Ste discovered that Rex had been experimenting with crossdressing.
The couple was brought back together after the sudden death of Rex's grandfather Froggy Black, but they were tested again when Ste's once presumed-dead ex-husband James reappeared in their lives.
In scenes set to air next week on the Channel 4 soap, Ste wakes up on the floor of Dee Valley Law with James after sharing a passionate kiss the night prior - and a barrage of missed calls from Rex.

"Talking to Alf makes him realise certain things."
Home and Away has revealed a major crossroads for Darryl 'Brax' Braxton as part of the legendary character's return plot.
Brax, who is wanted by the police, and his partner Ricky Sharpe recently made a surprise comeback to Summer Bay after hiding out for the last ten years.
The couple recently harboured fugitive Tane Parata, though Tane has since handed himself in to the police after being arrested for a crime he didn't commit.
According to TV Week, Australian-paced episodes have seen Brax and Ricky return to Summer Bay in emotional scenes that result in Brax being a free man.
After clearing his name with the police, Brax and Ricky face a difficult decision on whether they want to remain in Summer Bay for good.
Their visit to town makes them realise how much they have missed being home, though Brax is confronted with a very different version of the River Boys, and the gang he once knew are now disrespectful and unruly.
The couple debate what to do next, with Ricky fearing that Brax might fall back into his old ways, having already been in two fights since arriving home.
Weighing up his choices, Brax seeks advice from Alf, and the two friends go on a fishing trip, with Alf telling Brax he is biased towards Summer Bay.
Speaking to TV Week, Brax actor Stephen Peacocke said: "Brax is certainly a different bloke to who he was when he was a River Boy. But you don’t have to scratch too deep to find that stuff is still there. He’s still got fire in his belly if his family is under threat in any way."
In UK-pacing, fans are at the point where Tane runs away to Western Australia to escape the charges he faces, with Brax and Ricky helping him.
However, we know that Brax and Ricky are only back on the soap for a stint, so the issues weighing on Brax's mind in Australian-paced episodes may be what prompts them to leave town again.
