Mia & Chloe Anderson (Anna Samson & Sam Barrett)
Two new characters to join H&A in 2021.
This is an article I previously posted from the Sydney Sunday Telegraph TV Guide section:
"Home and Away 2021
SUMMER BAY has long been a nursery for some of Australia's best new talent and this year will be no different. Joining Seven's longest-running drama, UK-born, Nigerian-raised Anna Samson found her way to Sydney in her early teens, before moving to Melbourne to study at the Victorian College of the Arts. Her previous credits include 10 drama 'Wake in Fright' and HBO drama 'The Leftovers'. She will play Mia Anderson, a gutsy, gorgeous and strong-willed mother of one. Her daughter Chloe is brought to life by Sam Barratt, a WAAPA graduate who has appeared semi-regularly in ABC soap 'The Heights'. The two arrive in the Bay and come face-to-face with their past in the shape of Ari Parata, who previously dated Mia and lost a baby boy together. Ari's grief manifested itself as self-drstructive behaviour, which landed him a 10-year prison sentence. In the fallout, Mia moved her daughter away from the only father she'd ever known. Can they heal old wounds and be a family again?"
And now this from Digital Spy:

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.
Home and Away's Ari Parata will be confronted by his past this year as an old flame arrives in Summer Bay.
The show has revealed more details about new character Mia Anderson, who's played by Anna Samson.
Mia will be joining the Bay in the coming weeks and viewers will quickly learn that she has history with Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams).
Ari dated Mia years ago and their relationship was hit by tragedy when they lost a baby boy together.
Ari's struggle to deal with this situation led him down a self-destructive path, ultimately culminating in a prison sentence.
Mia arrives in the Bay with her grown-up daughter Chloe, who Ari also knows from the past.
Back in the day, Mia moved Chloe away for a fresh start following Ari's imprisonment, cutting her off from the man she'd previously treated like a father.
When Mia and Chloe are reunited with Ari again, how will things go and could their past affect Ari's current relationship with Mackenzie Booth?
The character of Chloe will be played by Sam Barrett, who was spotted filming scenes on location for Home and Away late last year.
Chloe is ultimately expected to become a love interest for Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich).
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and returns on Monday, February 1 at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
