SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT: No Longer a Rumor, New faces and returning characters arriving in 2025
From new River Boys to new doctors, here's who will be heading to Summer Bay next year.
Sure, Home and Away hasn’t even wrapped for 2024, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate about what drama is set to hit the Bay in 2025 and one Facebook fan group for the popular soap is spilling some piping hot tea. So if you hate spoilers, don’t keep reading. You’ve been warned!
Earlier this month it was announced fan faves Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor were reprising their roles as Ziggy and Dean for a “top-secret” storyline that’s currently being filmed in Far North Queensland, with Patrick giving an interview that hints towards some River Boys Drama.
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential, Patrick divulged a little more about what fans can expect from the couple’s return. “There’s a bit of River Boy action, there’s a bit of road trips with them,” Patrick said. “I think it’ll be good to see where Dean is now, where they’re at now with their babies living away in Queensland, is all I’ll say.”
Home and Away 2025 spoilers: New characters announced
In a Facebook fan group, an admin has given a sneak peek into the new River Boys set to hit the Bay, as well as a couple of new characters including a doctor.
The new River Boys
Though they only appear to be guest appearances (and one would predict, tied into Ziggy and Dean’s storyline) Rob Mellyonarie and Adam Peck are set to make waves as a couple of more tattooed bad boys.
But honestly… can we also have Rory back?
The new doctor
You may recognise Amanda Bishop for her comedy portrayals of Julia Gillard and she’s also appeared in Law and Order: SVU. So how will the crime of Summer Bay impact her character? Well, she’s said to be the new doctor in town, and we can’t wait to see a showdown with Bree tbh.
Mysterious new gal in town
You may have seen Ellie Gall before in shows like Puberty Blues and Take My Hand, and now she’s said to be hitting the Bay as Nerida Mullins.
So far, it’s unknown if she’ll be part of the permanent cast or just a guest.
