According to TV Week, the pair arrive at Summer Bay on the run, and, with nowhere else to go, set up camp at Summer Bay High. But Sasha (Demi Harman) quickly discovers their plan, and turns to Roo (Georgie Parker) for advice.

Bosses promised a return to Home and Away’ss fostering roots in 2013, and it seems they’sre true to their word. Roo tells Sasha to place a note with Roo’ss phone number on, encouraging the secretive pair to call her for help.

Kassandra, who has previously played Christina in US comedy-drama ‘sSingle Ladies‘s, and starred alongside Christian Slater in ‘sHatfields & Mccoys: Bad Blood‘s, reveals that the pair are initially reluctant to accept Roo’ss help.

Speaking to TV Week, she revealed: “At first they’sre reserved about Roo’ss offer, because they know that living with others comes with the closeness that may reveal their secret.” However, their worries over their privacy are soon tested when Maddie falls ill, forcing them to reconsider their next move.

According to Clementi, the real life pair loved working alongside Georgie Parker, even if their on-screen counterparts aren’st initially fond of Roo’ss nosiness “I absolutely loved working with Georgie”, reveals Kassandra. “The random stuff she brings to a take is great. It’ss really nice to be encouraged by such a professional and loving actor.”

Kassandra also revealed on the Home and Away official website that Maddie is a perfectionist with a passion and flair for music – especially the violin.

As well as Single Ladies and Hatfield & Mccoys, Kassandra, who grew up in Adelaide before moving to LA, has also starred in F6: Twister alongside Casper Van Dien and as Cara in an episode of TV drama Offspring

23-year old Andrew Morley made his professional acting debut at the age of 20, starring as Brendan in the children’ss sci-fi drama Lightning Point, which is currently airing on Nickelodeon in Australia. He has also starred in the short films Ice (2011) and Shepherd’ss Hill (2011).
