Former Neighbours star Blair McDonough makes his first appearance on Home and Away later this month.
The actor, best known for his days as Ramsay Street's Stu Parker, has landed a guest part as Alan Ellis – the father of Mason Morgan's new girlfriend Beth.
When Mason (Orpheus Pledger) runs into Beth and Alan in upcoming scenes, he's stunned to realise that she hasn't told her dad about their relationship.
Seriously-ill Beth feared that her parents would want her to focus on her health and thought it best to stay quiet, but she makes amends by arranging a brunch for Mason and her family.

Sadly, the gathering doesn't go well when Mason lets slip the reason he was in hospital, which sparked his first meeting with Beth.
Unimpressed by the new guy in his daughter's life, Alan intervenes by telling him not to see Beth anymore – but she has other ideas when she hears about his interference.
When Beth refuses to stop dating Mason, will Alan and his wife Jackie have to back down?
Home and Away airs these scenes on Thursday, October 26 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
