'Home and Away': New characters on the way

Home and Away fans can expect a couple of new Summer Bay arrivals in upcoming episodes.

Actor Hugo Johnstone-Burt has told TV Tonight that he is playing a scary character on the soap for an upcoming storyline.

Johnstone-Burt commented: "I'm doing a little stint on Home and Away. I'm playing a super-creepy stalker guy."

Hinting that the frightening newcomer could have a storyline with Leah Patterson-Baker, he added: "I'm working a lot with Ada Nicodemou, who's a lovely, lovely woman."

Johnstone-Burt has previously appeared in Cloudstreet and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

Meanwhile, while there hasn't been an official announcement, Lincoln Younes (Casey Braxton) has been tweeting about an actor named Nicholas Westaway (pictured left) - who is listed as a Home and Away series regular on his agency profile.

The page names his character as Kyle Braxton, so it seems that recent arrival Danny won't be the last addition to the family!

Home and Away airs weekdays at 6pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 7pm on Network Seven in Australia.
