    Not a spoiler, but for anyone interested Patrick O'Connor (Dean) & Sophie Dillman (Ziggy) are dating in real life. Daily Telegraph article:


    Life imitates art for Home And Away actors Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor
    Home And Away couple Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor have taken their on screen chemistry into their personal lives with news the actors are dating.


    Love has blossomed off screen for Home And Away actors Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor.

    Confidential understands the pair have been dating for several months, having started off as workmates and close friends before taking their relationship to the next step.

    “They’re both from Queensland and share a love of the outdoors,” a friend of the couple said.

    “Soph and Paddy really did start as just good friends and things developed from there. They are super private and want to keep it between them as much as possible.”

    O’Connor and Dillman play on screen lovers too with their characters Ziggy and Dean boyfriend and girlfriend on the popular Channel 7 soap.

    They’ve been seen regularly together at social events, including the recent opening of the Chicago musical at the Capitol Theatre, but have done their best to keep their romance private.

    It is not the first time love has spilt from the screen to personal life for Home And Away actors. In fact, there is a long list of Home And Away couples going way back to the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Isabel Lucas, who played Kim Hyde and Tasha Andrews on the show.

    Demi Harman and Alec Snow were also a couple in real life, as were Steve Peacocke and now wife Bridgette Sneddon, Rebecca Breeds and Luke Mitchell.

    Current castmates James Stewart and Sarah Roberts were married earlier this year.

    Home and Away love triangle: Will new girl Jade tear Ziggy and Dean apart?
    Newcomer Jade sets her sights on Dean in a flirt-fuelled surf lesson


    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...irl-jade-59874

    There's something in the water in Summer Bay that has its newcomers falling in love. But it's not with the place, it's the people. And one in particular – Dean.

    The likeable surf instructor captures the attention of backpacker Jade when she comes to town and Ziggy isn't impressed!

    The drama picks up in Home And Away this week as Dean (Patrick O'Connor) and Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) cross paths on the beach. Despite Dean's surf business booming, leaving the young couple with little time for one another lately, their relationship has remained strong – until now.

    As Dean begins his next surfing lesson, it's obvious to Ziggy that one of his students, Jade (Mia Morrissey), is flirting up a storm with her boyfriend.

    Ryder (Lukas Radovich), who's also in the class, shows a keen interest in Jade, but it becomes apparent she only has eyes for Dean.

    As the lesson comes to a close, Jade's attempts to make a move on her man has Ziggy seeing red. She snaps and tells the newcomer to take a hike.

    Horrified to see Ziggy being so rude to one of his students, Dean unleashes at Ziggy in a tense argument.

    Confused over Ziggy's outburst, Dean later turns to Willow (Sarah Roberts) – who's just watched the exchange from afar – for advice.

    Willow helps Dean see things from Ziggy's point of view – her trust has been damaged thanks to recently having her heart broken by her cheating ex-husband Brody (Jackson Heywood).

    Later, Dean again comes across Jade, who continues to flirt with the surfing instructor.

    Realising Ziggy's concerns were well founded, Dean tries to apologise to her. But at the same time he's assuring Ziggy that Jade won't be a problem, Jade is at Salt having a drink with Ryder.

    He's keen to keep the newcomer in the Bay, so organises a job at Salt for her, which she's happy to take. It looks like flirty Jade is sticking around!

    Will she get over her crush on Dean or will she cause trouble for him and Ziggy?

    Home and Away airs Monday to Thursday, 7pm, on Channel Seven.

    Home and Away revisits another past storyline as Dean fears arrest over Ross's murder
    Could his sleepwalking come back to haunt him?

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...xon-revisited/

    Home and Away spoilers follow from this week's Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

    Home and Away's Dean Thompson is fearing arrest following the shock news that Ross Nixon's body has been found.

    Dean flew into a panic in Wednesday's episode on Australian screens (August 12), realising that tell-tale clues at the crime scene could potentially point to his involvement.

    This week's Australian episodes have delved back into the Ross storyline, 18 months after the villain was murdered by Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin).

    Ross's body was found by chance by hikers, so the police have launched an immediate investigation to uncover what happened to him.

    In Wednesday's visit to Summer Bay, Colby tried his best to remain calm over the possibility of his guilt finally being exposed.

    With Dean, Willow and Bella all aware of his dark secret, Colby assured them all that it was best to remain calm to avoid arousing suspicion.

    The Summer Bay cop also seemed confident that his position in the police force would work in his favour, allowing him to keep track of the investigation and keep the heat off himself.

    Unfortunately for Colby, his loved ones all struggled to keep their own composure as they began to freak out.

    Dean was particularly worried, remembering that he made visits back to Ross's burial spot while sleepwalking last year.

    These scenes aired in March 2019, showing Dean struggling with his guilty conscience after helping to cover up Colby's crime and bury Ross's body.

    In Home and Away's latest episode, Dean told Colby that he fears evidence ? such as hair or blood ? could still be left behind from those night-time visits.

    Colby assured Dean this wasn't possible, as well over a year has passed and any evidence would be long gone.

    Meanwhile, Bella feared it was only a matter of time before Colby was arrested and suggested they should go on the run.

    Colby refused to consider this, pointing out that it would only make him look guilty. But with familiar face Angelo Rosetta returning to Summer Bay to investigate the crime, could Colby end up regretting his decision not to flee when he had the chance?

    Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in September.

    Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

    Home and Away's Dean Thompson to hear life-changing news from ex-lover Amber
    How will he respond?

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...on-amber-news/

    Home and Away's Dean Thompson will get a major shock from Amber Simmons.

    In scenes airing this week in Australia and in the UK next month (via New Idea), Amber ? played by Madeleine Jevic ? decides to inform her ex Dean (Patrick O'Connor) of life-changing news.

    The announcement leaves Dean stunned, particularly as he's currently in a relationship with Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman).

    "Dean and Amber grew up in Mangrove River together," Jevic said, explaining the pair's history. "Dean was best mates with Colby and Amber's brother Jai, and was also dating Willow, so they were all very close friends.

    "Amber's relationship with Dean was complicated growing up and there was definitely a no-strings-attached element to their friendship, but she has always had a deep love for him."

    Amber first appeared in Summer Bay to help care for John Palmer following his stroke.

    But her arrival initially caused problems for some of the other residents. Notably, she greeted Colby with a punch, still blaming him for Jai's death.

    Jevic recently revealed that she was a huge fan of the show before joining, and shared her excitement about working with the likes of co-stars Ray Meagher and Lynne McGranger.

    "Because I grew up watching, [McGranger] was just this familiar beautiful energy. She's like a mum ? so down to earth and loving," she told TV Week. "I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm in Summer Bay with Irene!'"

    Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

    Dean learns he?s a father

    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...collapse-65019

    Amber's bombshell news has rocked Dean to the core. Not only is he a father, but his son is in Summer Bay!

    In recent episodes, Amber (Maddy Jevic) finally revealed why she's arrived in town. Her fling with Dean (Patrick O'Connor) years ago resulted in an unexpected pregnancy and the pair are parents to a boy named Jai (River Jarvis).

    Now, Dean has to face his responsibilities as a dad ? and tell Ziggy (Sophie Dillman).

    "Amber never intended to tell Dean he's Jai's father, but ultimately, it was the right decision," Maddy tells TV WEEK. "She's got a past with Dean and will always have a soft spot for him."

    Dean agrees to meet his son and nervously waits by the beach for his arrival. When Jai comes running in, Dean is immediately besotted with the youngster and the pair play with ease.

    Yet his progress is cut short when Amber introduces him to Jai as a friend, hiding the truth.

    As Ziggy looks on in surprise, she wonders whether Amber can be trusted, and where she fits in...

    Dean's bombshell has Ziggy reeling

    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...win-owen-65071

    Since Amber (Maddy Jevic) dropped the bombshell that Dean (Patrick O'Connor) has a son, Ziggy (Sophie Dillman, both above) has tried her best to be supportive.

    Unfortunately, as Dean grows closer to both his son Jai and to Amber, the mechanic begins to feel she doesn't fit in with the happy trio ? not to mention that Amber makes it clear that Ziggy has little place in their family.

    Tensions between Amber and Ziggy continue to grow as they navigate new territory. Amber decided to introduce Dean to her son as a friend, withholding the truth that he's his father.

    However, it all changes when the youngster asks Dean about his dad. Unable to lie, Dean confesses everything and waits for the fallout.

    To his surprise, young Jai is thrilled!

    "Raising Jai on her own wasn't easy, so introducing Dean into Jai's life and working at how to manage their new family dynamic definitely brings them closer," Maddy tells TV WEEK.

    At the Diner, Ziggy joins the trio for lunch, but seeing their obvious bond leaves her with an uneasy feeling in her stomach.

    Amber adds to Ziggy's worry by reiterating that no-one can come between their family.

    "Amber and Ziggy's relationship is a complicated one," Maddy says. "Amber isn't intentionally out to start drama with Ziggy, but they have different personalities ? and with both having strong ties to Dean, naturally there's tension between them."

    That night, Ziggy makes an excuse to stay at the Farmhouse instead of at home.

    Dean is confused by his partner's behaviour, wondering what he's done to upset her.

    Wiping away tears, a sad Ziggy packs a bag and walks out the door?


    And:

    Home and Away's Ziggy Astoni to feel cut out after Dean's life-changing news
    Will the couple survive?

    Home and Away lines up a big new clash for Dean and Amber
    Can they get past their opposing views on Karen?

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...r-karen-clash/

    Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

    Home and Away's Dean Thompson and Amber Simmons clash again on Australian screens next week, as they can't agree on what's best for their young son Jai.

    Dean (Patrick O'Connor) had his life turned upside-down recently when Amber revealed that she has a little boy and he's the father.

    Recent episodes in Australia have seen Dean start to play a bigger role in Jai's life, but this has occasionally caused tension with Amber (Madeleine Jevic) as she's used to doing everything on her own and having the sole say with any decisions.

    Home and Away has now revealed that the two parents will run into more trouble when the question of Dean's mum Karen is brought into the equation.

    Now that he has struck up his own bond with Jai and they're getting along so well, Dean announces that he wants to introduce his son to Karen.

    Amber, who knows Karen from back in the day, immediately puts her foot down and tells Dean to think again.

    Aware that Karen may not be the best influence, Amber warns Dean that she never wants Jai to meet his grandmother.

    This is sure to be crushing news for Dean, who has worked hard to rebuild his own relationship with Karen over the past couple of years. Will he challenge Amber on this one or continue to let her call the shots?

    Home and Away airs these scenes in Australia next week and in the UK in November.

    Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

    Home and Away plans more drama for Dean as Amber's mother arrives
    She turns up on Jai's birthday.

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...other-tension/

    Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

    Home and Away has confirmed that Amber Simmons's mother will be heading to Summer Bay this week.

    Amber's mum will make her debut on Australian screens on Tuesday (October 13) and in a month's time for UK viewers.

    Home and Away bosses have revealed that the new arrival turns up to help celebrate the birthday of her grandson Jai.

    She's immediately thrown into tension with Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor), disapproving of his criminal past and his new-found involvement in Jai's life.

    When Dean gives Jai a bike for his birthday, Amber's mother makes a dig about how it could possibly be stolen.

    Jai also reveals that his gran doesn't like surfer guys, believing them to be troublesome, which also clearly reflects her opinion on Dean.

    Could the tensions end up ruining the day for Jai?

    The arrival of Amber's mum comes after Dean was blocked from introducing his own mother Karen to Jai.

    In Monday's Australian episode (October 12), Amber made it very clear to Dean that she didn't trust Karen to play a role in Jai's life.

    Although Dean called Karen and left her a voicemail message, revealing that he had something important to tell her, he later backed out when she called him back the next morning.

    Dean made out that he'd simply got drunk the night before and went overboard with his message, assuring Karen that there was nothing going on. Will Jai ever get to meet his other gran?

    Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

    Home and Away airs devastating storyline for Dean Thompson as Jai drama continues
    Has he lost his chance to be a father?

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...stating-story/

    Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

    Home and Away's Dean Thompson could lose access to his son Jai forever after crossing the line in his battles with Amber Simmons.

    Dean and Amber have been at odds over their son for weeks now, but their tensions finally came to a head with a shock kidnap storyline in Thursday's triple bill of episodes on Australian screens (October 22).

    The former lovers have been unable to agree on whether Dean's mum Karen should be allowed to play a role in Jai's life. Amber doesn't believe that Karen is responsible enough to meet her grandson.

    Amber has also angered Dean (Patrick O'Connor) by repeatedly threatening to cut his access to Jai altogether unless he respects her wishes.

    In the latest episodes on Australian screens, Dean threatened to take Amber (Madeleine Jevic) to court to secure parental rights. He wanted to put a stop to the current situation of Amber using access to Jai as a bargaining chip.

    Amber's mum Francesca didn't react well to this, sending Dean a copy of his criminal record as a reminder that he stood no chance of winning any custody battle.

    The final straw for Dean came when he paid a visit to Amber's house and discovered that Jai had been left unattended by Francesca.

    Deciding to take matters into his own hands as he was infuriated over the hypocrisy, Dean snatched Jai and took him off to a friend's house in a remote location.

    Dean's long-term plan was to take Jai away to Queensland and start a new life with him, well away from Amber and Francesca.

    This idea was ultimately thwarted when his best friend Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin) tracked him down the next day, pointing out that kidnapping a child was a hugely reckless decision which wouldn't end well for him.

    Dean reluctantly brought Jai back to the Bay but immediately faced a backlash over his behaviour, with Amber threatening that he'd never be able to see Jai again.

    Has Dean lost access to Jai for good as a result of his rash actions?

    Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in a month's time.

    Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
