'H&A' Hawaii filming affected by rain

Home and Away's Hawaii filming suffered an unexpected hitch yesterday due to poor weather.

As revealed at the weekend, members of the soap's cast and crew are currently shooting a special block of episodes in Honolulu.

However, writing on Twitter, series producer Cameron Welsh confessed that there had been a brief setback due to a downpour of rain.

He told his online followers: "First day of shooting started well and now it's raining in Waikiki! They say it never rains here!! Please stop!!"

Later in the day, Welsh added that the rain had stopped and filming was going well.

"That's a wrap on day one in Hawaii! Great to be directing again - so far so good," he said. "Awesome local crew here and our cast: the best!"

Meanwhile, writing from Sydney, show favourite Ada Nicodemou (Leah Patterson-Baker) remarked: "Hoping the shoot is going well in Hawaii. Maybe Leah can go on the next trip?"

Samara Weaving (Indigo Walker), Luke Mitchell (Romeo Smith), Robert Mammone (Sid Walker) and Georgie Parker (Roo Stewart) have been confirmed as the cast members who are filming in Hawaii, though storyline details are currently being kept under wraps.
