Summer Bay welcomes a new "bad boy"

Will he be shaking things up?

Home and Away is welcoming a new "bad boy" to Summer Bay. Australian actor, Joshua Orpin, is better known for his work overseas but will be returning to his home country with a bang!

The 29-year-old will make his debut on the show in the coming months, for now, the details of his character are being kept private, though we are expecting drama... OF COURSE!

One of the reasons I was keen to do this gig was because of that, I have worked internationally and I have been quite homesick, especially over Covid where I wasn’t able to come back to Australia even when I wasn’t working,” Joshua told The Daily Telegraph.

“I was really keen to get stuck into some Aussie stuff. It isn’t about being known here as the driving motivator but I really wanted to get stuck into some Aussie shows, film and TV and this came along and I thought it was the perfect opportunity.”

Joshua is best known for his role as Connor Kent, or Superboy, in the US series, Titans. He has also had some smaller roles in TV shows Preacher, Love Me, Upright, and The Doctor Blake Mysteries.

There’s a lot that goes down in the fictional town of Summer Bay.

As though it’s been touched by some paranormal force, the coastal location is a hot bed for unparalleled levels of drama.

As a result, Home And Away has a revolving door of characters.

There are surprise arrivals like forlorn exes turning up with a love child and half-siblings who had previously remained a family secret.

Then there are the exits. Oh, the exits.

We’re talking heartbreaking deaths, life-long prison sentences and, on the odd occasion, the happy endings whereby characters drive off into the sunset to live anywhere else.

With so many comings and goings we’ve rounded up who is appearing on screen now from the main cast.
