Neighbours has revealed that Terese Willis will soon be welcoming a new family member to Ramsay Street, as her niece is set to show up on her doorstep at the end of the month.
Roxy Willis will be played by 21-year-old actress Zima Anderson, and will be first seen on screen on April 29 in Australia.
According to the soap, Roxy is always on the look-out for a fun time, but she also has a nose for trouble – which means viewers can expect plenty of chaos from Roxy almost immediately when her aunt Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) reluctantly agrees to take Roxy under her wing.
"I've been so lucky with the role of Roxy, I've already found myself in a wide range of crazy situations from virtually the first scene which has been so much fun and really challenged me, I'm constantly learning," Zima said in a statement.
Speaking about her first day on set, Zima described it as her "best experience to date" as she explained that her character quickly got up to some mischief.
"I was nervous but more excited and my first scene I had to jump up on the bar and pour tequila in my belly button which explains itself!" she said.
"Everyone on set was so welcoming and nice and it was just better than I ever imagined."
Zima also added that she has received great advice from "pretty much everyone" on set, and revealed that she is getting guidance from her co-stars too.
"Literally everyone at Neighbours, not only cast, are happy, helpful and just so great," she said, naming Stefan Dennis, Rebekah Elmaloglou, Jackie Woodburne and Ryan Moloney as some of the cast members who've given her some "solid advice and mentoring".
"Colette is always honest and helpful, Bec and Scott [McGregor] actually have given me some great tips with the scripts and being aware," she explained.
"Stefan also gave me a great tip to never be afraid to look silly, I’ll take that one to the grave."
