Ex-'H&A' star joins 'Neighbours'

Former Home and Away star Dieter Brummer has landed a guest role on Neighbours, taking on the part of Captain Troy Miller.

The actor - who played Summer Bay's Shane Parrish between 1992 and 1996 - will appear on Ramsay Street for a seven-week guest stint later this year.

Troy is an ex-boyfriend of established character Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) and show bosses are tipping the soldier to be at the centre of drama in Erinsborough during his time on screen.

Speaking of Brummer's casting, Neighbours' executive producer Susan Bower told Holy Soap: "We are delighted that Dieter is joining us and very excited about the character he is playing. The Captain will certainly leave his mark on Ramsay Street."

Brummer's Home and Away character is best remembered for his relationship with show favourite Angel, played by Melissa George.

Since departing Summer Bay, the star has appeared in a number of other Australian shows - including Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities and Underbelly: The Golden Mile on the Nine Network.
