New Character Maddy
Home and Away has officially confirmed that Kassandra Clementi will be joining the cast as a new character.
The 23-year-old will play Maddy in the long-running Australian soap from later this month.
Clementi said: "Maddy is an energetic and very loving young girl who is mature and wise beyond her 16 years. She can be a perfectionist and works hard to achieve her goals. She has a passion and flair for music - especially the violin."
Maddy makes her first appearance in the soap along with brother Spencer on Australian screens on January 24.
Lynne McGranger - who plays Irene Roberts on the soap - had previously spoken to Digital Spy about Maddy and Spencer's arrival in the 2013 season, predicting that the duo will bring "intrigue".
McGranger teased that the pair share a "secret" that will be revealed within a few weeks of their appearance on the show.
Clementi has previously appeared on Queen Latifah's show Single Ladies, as well as the film Hatfields & McCoys: Bad Blood alongside Christian Slater.
