Neighbours fans can get their first look at Tyler Brennan's biological father Hamish Roche in these brand new pictures.

Sean Taylor has been cast in the role of Hamish, who comes to Erinsborough in search of his long-lost son early next month.

Tyler was recently left shellshocked when his mum Fay reluctantly revealed that he was the product of an affair she had with Hamish, meaning that he's not Russell's biological son.

Next week, it's Fathers' Day in Erinsborough (yes, Australia celebrate it on a different date to the UK) and Hamish pops up specially to mark the occasion.

With Tyler determined to spend such a sombre day on his own, he's surprised when a stranger randomly approaches him at The Waterhole and asks to join him for a game of pool.

Tyler is surprised to strike up an unexpected bond with Hamish, who keeps quiet about his true identity as they get to know each other.

Later on, Tyler is back at home with his brothers when Hamish comes knocking on the door, finally revealing who he is and why he's come to Erinsborough.

Will Tyler be prepared to give his father a chance? And can Hamish really be trusted, or does he have an ulterior motive for coming to Ramsay Street?

Travis Burns, who plays Tyler, recently told Neighbours' official website: "Tyler's father Hamish Roche arrives in Erinsborough and wants to truly get to know Tyler after all the years he has missed out on. Without saying too much, his arrival will affect everyone on Ramsay Street. This is one of the biggest storylines I've done.

"There are a lot of emotional scenes coming up. Tyler has a lot of arguments and breaks down in tears at one point. It was challenging to get in that mind-frame and portray all the emotions that someone would be feeling at a time like this.

"Another challenge was the workload, as I was filming 30 scenes a week."

He's just after money.

Did he always know about Tyler?

[Aussieguy]

Think he just recently found out about Tyler. Will reserve judgement but the fact he had an affair with a married woman tells me a lot about his character or lack of. Looks dodgy as well

Did he always know about Tyler?

No. Tyler's Mum said she told him the baby was Russell's. He could have doubted it though.

I hope he's not after money. Someone must have told him he's Tyler's Dad. Maybe Piper or his Mum?
