Return not to be embraced by some.
One of the most hated characters in Home and Away is set to return to the iconic soap in the coming weeks. Luke Jacobz is reprising his role as Angelo Rosetta, the police officer who shocked audiences by knocking off Jack Holden (Paul O'Brien), a fellow police officer in the 2008 season finale. He is set to return to conduct a special investigation, seemingly cleared of all murder charges and allowed back onto the police force to the dismay and ire of the rest of Summer Bay's residents, which has allowed Jacobz to embrace a new side to the nice guy role.
"For many years I've played likeable characters that never do anything wrong, so it's been great to walk into a room and have daggers thrown at you." Jacobz said "It's good playing a character that isn't liked. Everyone hates him and it's been great to play something new." His first stint in the bay, where he became romantically entangled with both Belle Taylor (Jess Tovey) and Charlie Buckton (Esther Anderson) was a testing ground and now Jacobz is set to stay in the bay for the forseeable future.
