John and Marlena knew that if Will was alive, Rolf probably had a hand in it. Nine years ago, Dr Wilhelm Rolf, Stefano’s henchman, inexplicably faded from the Salem scene and residents thought they were finally rid of him. That all changed when Rolf’s name was recently linked to Will Horton’s possible survival. Once Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) had convinced everyone that his supposedly ludicrous claims of Will (Chandler Massey) being alive had some merit, he tentatively revealed to a shaken Hope (Kristian Alfonso) how it could be. Apparently, Ben’s diabolical father Clyde (James Read) had visited him at Bayview Sanitarium during his escape from prison last year and advised his son that he’d been told that Will had survived Ben’s fatal strangulation attack. Shocked by the news, Will’s…

Alf is not the only one in the family challenged by the appearance of Ryder and the impending arrival of Quinn. For Roo (Georgie Parker), it’s about to set her off on an emotional roller-coaster. Roo returned to Summer Bay years back to be with her dad as a support in his senior years, but to also find a new life of her own. Since then, the father-and-daughter duo has never been closer and the two have become great allies. Roo watched on last year in distress as Alf was turned inside out by the return of her half-brother Duncan, and she saw how much hurt it caused all the family as her dad and brother feuded until they finally reconciled their pain. And now, a sister she never knew…

Jordan Hare feared she had grown so much as an actress she would struggle to step back into Harriet’s shoes again for season two of The Secret Daughter . But she needn’t have worried because her character Harriet has also changed from the rebellious teenager we met in season one. “It worked out really well that I had this new way of thinking about working and she does as well about her life,” Hare explains. “Definitely I was way more ready to do her stuff this season. If I had to do this stuff last year I wouldn’t have been able to do it because she just gets so much more complex.” After shoplifting and switching Billie’s DNA test in season one, now Harriet has decided she…

“James was Olivia’s great love — she just wasn’t his.” If there’s one thing James does well it is breaking hearts. He crushed wife Olivia’s long ago and now he’s about to shatter Henry’s. The heir to the Bligh estate has decided to shun his life in Inverness for a chance at happiness with his first love.

On the surface Lucy Durack seems born to play bubbly children’s entertainer Roxy in Ten drama Sisters but the musical theatre star says there’s more to Roxy’s character than meets the eye. “Once you dig beneath the surface she’s quite different to anyone that I’ve played [on stage or screen],” explains Durack. “Playing somebody with a drug addiction and she’s so erratic and anxious and maybe almost a little bit bipolar, it’s been a pretty emotional journey at times. Some of [Roxy’s] darker sides have been difficult but fun from an actor’s point of view because it’s given me so many different things to try.” Durack, who is best known for her musical theatre role as Glinda in Wicked , says…

I was excited to read in TV SOAP November 13 that Liam (Scott Clifton) and Sally (Courtney Hope) are getting closer on The Bold and the Beautiful. Liam and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) have been too complacent in their relationship since they got married and happy couples are boring to watch. Steffy is always too confident that she’ll always get her way, so it’s nice that she might actually have some competition. It means Steffy will have to step up if she wants to keep her man but seeing as Bill’s (Don Diamont) attracting her attention these days it might be all too easy for Liam and Sally to start a romance. WIN The author of the Star letter will win this great pack from STAEDTLER,…

After a long period healing from her divorce from Stitch, Abby Newman has finally allowed herself to think about being with another man but as usual the men she’s eyeing off may be more trouble than they’re worth. A business deal with tech genius Zach (Ryan Ashton) quickly proved fruitful for Abby (Melissa Ordway) and so did the easy friendship they struck on the side. However, Zach has consistently been resistant to deepening the relationship, not wanting Abby to know that he’s the mastermind behind Genoa City’s notorious sex ring. He knows that Abby wouldn’t want him as a sex predator but he also knows that the Newman heiress could be valuable for his reputation. Fresh from his recent fight with Abby, Zach was keen to prove to her that…

Summoned by Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) in September 1997, Dr Wilhelm Rolf was put immediately to work, saving an ailing Roman’s (Josh Taylor) life after he contracted a deadly jungle fever. The following year, Vivian’s (Louise Sorel) marriage to the billionaire Steven “Jonesy” Jones (Robert Mandan) came under Stefano’s scrutiny when she appeared to inherit the treasures hidden in Jonesy’s townhouse basement after his sudden death on their wedding night. However, Stefano owned the valuables and had Dr Rolf implant a microchip in Vivian’s tooth to control her moods so he could romance and ultimately marry her to regain his property. Rolf’s brainwashing techniques proved valuable in 1999 when Stefano had Rolf transform Hope into her supposedly deceased doppelganger Princess Gina Von Amberg (also Alfonso) to thwart Hope’s search into her…

How does it feel to join the cast of such an iconic show? It’s amazing to be able to say that I’m now on a show that’s been running for almost 30 years.

But that is all changing for his character, thanks to the influence of Chris’s sister Billie and finding love with hotel chef Vivienne. However Turner and his character are actually more alike than the actor had realised. “There are parts of Chris that I tend to relate to and those are his tidiness,” he told TV SOAP during a visit to set. “It was highlighted when Matt [Levett, who plays Chris’s brother Jamie] and I will share a green room — he’ll throw his clothes on the couch, I would fold…

If he had his own Instant Hotel it’d feature plenty of outdoor space. Luke Jacobz has trouble keeping up with his fellow ex-Home and Away co-stars they’re that busy and successful. But he’s not complaining because he’s just as flat out working and when he’s not doing that he’s travelling or taking part in charity bike rides. “If ever we’re in the same place, yeah, we catch up,’ he adds. “I’ve been friends [for many years] with Kim Cooper who played Gypsy on Home and Away years ago so I actually was only with her a week ago in LA.” The actor, who played Angelo on Home and Away from 2008 to 2013, remembers his time on the soap fondly.

Bill seems to have avoided prison and has headed back to Spencer Publications. Since Bill deleted the digital recording of himself confessing to hiring someone to burn down Spectra, Liam’s threat to send his dad to prison if he doesn’t stay out of his prestigious company is officially neutralised.
