Sophie is engaged to former co-star Patrick O’Connor.
Former Home and Away star Sophie Dillman has shared an exciting update on her wedding to former co-star Patrick O’Connor. The couple appeared together on the soap as Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson before they both left Summer Bay in 2023.
Last December, the pair got engaged, with Patrick proposing to Sophie on Queens Beach in Sydney.
Now, writing for TV Week, Sophie has dished on her wedding plans, revealing that she's not quite sure what to do for her big day.
Sophie wrote: "In Greece, I was so taken by a hotel that looked like it was straight out of Mamma Mia – you know, blue and white, covered in bougainvillea and with the best Greek dessert we had ever eaten – that I got as far as asking for the price to hire it for the weekend.
"Although all of those ideas are brilliant, and we would be thrilled with any one of them, to this day, we still have no idea what we are actually going to do."
Sophie went on to write that the couple have a list of "non-negotiables" for their big day, including wanting to have all their grandparents there.
"We aren’t interested in a traditional kind of ceremony and instead, we want to create a relaxed atmosphere where our guests (and more importantly Paddy and I) feel at ease and ready to have a good time," the actor added.
However, she doesn't want to feel pressured, adding: "I do want the process of planning a wedding to be fun, and don’t want outside pressures to dictate our timeline either."
But the actress promised to take fans along with her, writing: "While I kick off this journey, I’d love to take you all on the ride as we plan this wedding, one bouquet, playlist and vow at a time."
Harper's new man isn't all he seems.
Home and Away is lining up a dangerous new romance for Harper Matheson. In scenes that haven't aired in the UK yet, Australian viewers have seen Harper (Jessica Redmayne) growing closer to her new love interest Beau (Blake Richardson).
But in scenes to air in Australia this week and in a few weeks' time in the UK, Beau's dark secret will be revealed, potentially spelling disaster for Harper, TV Week has revealed.
Speaking about Harper's new found happiness, Redmayne told TV Week: "Harper and Tane’s relationship has found a healthy place. They’re balancing co-parenting well after a tumultuous few months. Then, Harper meets Beau in the gym while training with Sonny and her first impression is that she likes what she sees!"
But Dana's boyfriend Sonny knows Beau's secret as Harper's new guy has been selling steroids to him in the gym and he's desperate for no one to find out.
But Sonny's secret is soon exposed by Remi who confronts his friend, leading to Sonny lashing out and hitting him on the jaw.
Adam Rowland, who plays Remi, explained: "Alarm bells are ringing for such uncharacteristic behaviour. When the aggression gets to a whole new level, Remi is forced to invade Sonny’s privacy and call him out."
When Dana notices Remi's bruises he tells her everything but she refused to accept that her boyfriend has a drug addiction.
Later he meets with Sonny who has been trying to contact him as he's desperate for more pills.
As Sonny doesn't have the money, Beau agrees to front the cost for him. But what will Beau end up wanting in return?
What's next in Summer Bay?
Coming up on Home and Away, Sonny's secret drug habit is at risk of being exposed when Beau sets his sights on Harper.
Elsewhere, Abigail and Remi have an embarrassing misunderstanding, and Cash questions the future of his marriage after Eden asks him to undergo a vasectomy.
Here's a full collection of 13 massive moments.
David panics when he realises his wedding ring is missing, but Amelia is able to retrieve the precious item of jewellery.
She asks after David's wife and learns that she passed away several years ago.
Meanwhile, Richie has a call with the police commissioner and learns his hearing has been set for the following day.
Abigail takes pity on Richie and appeals to Lacey to see it was an accident, but she slaps her in the face for defending him.
Fleeing the hospital, Richie returns to the scene of the crime. Cash finds him there and offers his support, which comes as a surprise to Richie.
Soon it's time for the hearing, but Richie rejects Abigail's offer to come with him and calls time on their romance.
Remi tries to cheer her up in the only way he knows how – with shots of tequila – and Abigail starts to warm towards him.
Soon a drunken Abigail is trying to get Remi to dance with her and when Eden arrives home she can see her sister is smitten.
Afterwards, Lacey goes to Salt and apologises to Eden for slapping Abigail.
Eden is able to give Lacey some perspective about having a loved one as a cop, which makes her realise she can't force David to quit.
In need of a purpose, Harper joins Sonny at the gym, where she meets his steroid supplier, Beau. As the pair start flirting, panicked Sonny lies that Beau is his physio.
Sonny later returns to Summer Bay Fitness to get some gear from Beau, but Mali sees them together and is suspicious.
When Abigail still doesn't get the hint, Remi makes it very clear he won't be her rebound guy.
Abigail is horrified by the suggestion, which makes Remi realise that it's all Eden's fault for putting the idea into his head in the first place.
She vents her frustrations to Cash and turns the tables by suggesting he gets a vasectomy instead.
Eden's request totally rocks Cash and after spending the night driving alone, he tells her he's not prepared to make such a life-changing decision.
As Beau fishes for information on Harper from Dana, Sonny fears his secret is under threat and cuts the chat short with a lie.
Dana starts to notice that something is bothering her boyfriend and asks Mali to keep an eye on Sonny at the gym.
When Dana later runs into Beau, he manipulates her concern for Sonny by promising to look out for him in exchange for getting Harper's number.
Dana is happy to oblige, but Sonny is consumed by panic when he realises that his dealer is now part of their social circle.
Dana breaks the news to Harper, who confronts her admirer. Beau is totally bemused and insists there's no one else so Harper agrees to have a drink with him.
During their date, Harper opens up about her life as a single mum and tells Beau she'd like the chance to see him again.
Later, Sonny tries once again to dissuade Beau from pursuing Harper, but this backfires.
Sonny is able to cover the rent by securing a loan from Remi, but he fears there's no stopping this blossoming romance between Beau and Harper.
The couple are at a crossroads and Cash devastates Eden by admitting he's not sure their marriage can survive.
Is Cash willing to lose Eden forever?
Sonny (Ryan Bown) has been pushing himself hard since the devastating crash six months ago that left him fearing he may never walk again.
Although Sonny’s now back on his feet and has made impressive progress in recent weeks, now able to walk unaided, he remains frustrated by the limits being placed on him.
The situation took a worrying turn when fellow gym-goer Beau (Blake Richardson) offered Sonny a way to speed up his progress.
The situation complicated itself further when Harper (Jessica Redmayne) crossed paths with Beau at the gym, forcing Sonny to cover by claiming Beau was a physio.
Dana (Ally Harris) encouraged the match however, and passed on her sister’s number to Beau, leaving Sonny panicked.
Beau later warned Sonny not to interfere, making it clear that an agreement between them could work both ways—he’d keep quiet about how they really knew each other, as long as Sonny stopped messing with his relationship with Harper.
When Sonny replied that their agreement didn’t work for him, and warned him to back off Harper, Beau in turn threatened to cut off his steroid supply altogether.
Remi (Adam Rowland) has also started to realise that something isn’t right with his friend. Sonny has become increasingly defensive and erratic, despite the fact that his physical recovery appears to be going well.
Sonny was also forced to ask Remi for a loan to cover his portion of rent for the apartment, after he used up his cash on pills.
Taking drastic action, Remi searches Sonny’s apartment, where he finds the bottle of pills Sonny has been hiding.
As a promo for this week’s episodes shows, whilst Remi begins to research ways to help people misusing steroids, Sonny is at home where his anger boils over.
Knowing that Sonny needs more help than he’s able to provide, Remi has no choice but to break the news to Dana that Sonny has been using steroids.
Dana struggles to accept what Remi has told her, and has to hear it from Sonny himself—but will he admit it when she confronts him with Remi’s claim?
Meanwhile, Beau continues to enjoy his romance with Harper, as they spend some time together on the beach.
But there’s one problem—Sonny has no money with which to pay for them.
Rather than cutting him off, Beau agrees to cover the cost himself, leaving Sonny in his debt.
What will Beau expect in return?
