'Home and Away' to air surprise proposal

Home and Away star Josh Quong Tart has spoken of how his character Miles Copeland proposes to girlfriend Leah Patterson-Baker in a forthcoming storyline.

In scenes which air in Australia next week, Miles reaches his decision to pop the question - keen to solidify his relationship following the news that Leah is expecting his baby.

"They've dated for a while and they know each other so well, and I think it's just one of those things that makes sense," Quong Tart told TV Week.

Viewers will see Miles confide in Summer Bay stalwart Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) over his decision as he makes plans for the perfect proposal.

"Alf is very excited and thinks it's a great idea," Quong Tart continued. "It kind of does make sense, and it's good to see considering all the turmoil going on with the other Summer Bay couples."

Meanwhile, Ada Nicodemou - who plays Leah - confirmed that her character is surprised when Miles pops the question at the pier, leaving her with a decision to make over their future.

She said: "It does come as a shock to Leah! She's not thinking about marriage at all at this stage."
