Home and Away actor Luke Jacobz, who played a controversial character on the soap, has said he is missing the show – could this be a good time for him to return to the role?<\/p>\n

Known for playing Angelo Rosetta on the Australian soap, Jacobz was a series regular between 2008 and 2011. He later reprised the role for a short stint in 2020. <\/p>\n

Speaking to TV Week<\/a> about his time in Summer Bay, Jacobz recalled playing some unnamed characters before being cast as a regular. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve played a few guest roles that didn\u2019t have names and Angelo has been on the show a couple of times,” he said. <\/p>\n

“I keep saying none of my characters have ever died. So, there\u2019s always a chance to come back.”<\/p>\n

Viewers know that during his time on the soap Angelo was responsible for accidentally shooting and killing Jack Holden. He also threw Colby Thorne in prison for murdering his stepfather.<\/p>\n

“They were two very beloved characters,” Jacobz explained. “I\u2019ve had some interesting experiences in shopping centres with some people who believe Summer Bay is real.”<\/p>\n

On whether he’d return to the soap, Jacobz said: “I absolutely miss [Home and Away]. I hope I get to keep [acting] because I\u2019d love for my kids to grow up and say, ‘That\u2019s my dad doing that’. It just gives you another reason to try harder and to do better.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, the actor opened up about filming his first feature film The Birthday Trip while his wife Raychel was pregnant with their first child, Maisie. <\/p>\n

The film follows three entitled millennial couples as they head to the luxurious Lothian Gate farmstay for a weekend trip. <\/p>\n

“My biggest fear was that I\u2019d get down there [to film] and Raychel\u2019s waters would break and I would miss the birth of my first child,” he said. <\/p>\n

“Raychel was extremely supportive of me and said, ‘If you can come back, that\u2019d be great. But otherwise, get down there and do what you love doing’.”<\/p>\n

The couple welcomed their first child after filming wrapped, and their second child, a boy, was born in 2025. <\/p>\n

Home and Away drops new episodes on weekdays at 6am on 5\u2019s streaming service with a 6.30pm screening on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7Plus.<\/p>\n
