Ash ( George Mason)

[Perdita]

One of Home and Away's newest actors has talked about his role for the first time.

George Mason will be playing Ash, a mystery guy who has come into town looking for Brax.

In an interview with Australia's Daily Telegraph, Mason said: "I don't think he takes life too seriously, but when it comes to family he definitely wants somewhere to belong."

Mason didn't give away any upcoming storylines for his character, but he did say Ash isn't exactly an angel.

"I wouldn't say I am a bad boy, he definitely has a good heart, but he hasn't had your standard upbringing, so he is definitely not a good boy."

"I didn't realise how many people watched this show," Mason said. "When I am down at Palm Beach filming there are girls from Norway, Ireland, Scotland, it is incredible."

He's been filming on set for the past four weeks and didn't realise the show was so popular.

Perdita, Wrong thread. This should be in the Home and Away spoilers not Neighbours.

Can one of the moderators on the forum move this thread to the Home & Away section. This character is in Home & Away not Neighbours.

Also ahead on Summer Bay, sparks fly between Denny Miller and newcomer Ash, much to Brax's unease.

When Ash (George Mason) offers to help Denny (Jessica Grace Smith) fix a problem with her car, he is impressed by her feisty nature as she insists that she doesn't need his help.

However, when Denny later sees him working at Angelo's, she can't help but enquire about the new barman, asking Josh who he is.

When Brax overhears Ash and Denny flirting at the bar, he tells Ash that Denny was Casey's girlfriend and is therefore off-limits.

The next day, Denny is trying to fix her car again when Ash approaches, but this time he gives her his condolences over Casey and tells her that he didn't know who she was before.

Although Denny is uncomfortable that Ash has spoken to Brax about her behind her back, the chemistry between the two is obvious. Could romance be on the cards for Denny again?

Casey was class and Ash looks like a tramp...needs a shave and a haircut for a start..I hope they don't hit it off...she doesn't suit him..
Home and away writers need to get some good storylines rather than repeating the same old stuff with different characters...

Denny has been struggling with her growing attraction to Ash ever since he arrived in Summer Bay, but has resisted due to her loyalty to late boyfriend Casey Braxton.

However, upcoming episodes will see Denny decide it is time to move on after seeking advice from fellow resident John Palmer.

When John reassures Denny that she will always love Casey, she is given fresh hope and texts Ash, arranging to meet him on the pier.

Once they meet, the pair share a kiss - but this time it is Ash who panics and ends up running off.

Smith told TV Week: "Denny was confused about her feelings for Ash. She had a lot of guilt about moving on from Casey.

"John tells her she will always love Casey, but has a big enough heart to open up to someone else."
