    Luke Jacobz has revealed that it was not his decision to leave the cast of Home and Away.

    Last month, the actor announced that he had filmed his final scenes as Angelo Rosetta after nearly three years in Summer Bay.

    In an interview with TV Week, Jacobz explained that show bosses made the decision to write out Angelo because they felt the character had nowhere else to go.

    Jacobz commented: "When they said the character was leaving I was upset, because I love working on the show.

    "It was really that the character had reached all the different goals that the show wanted him to, and it worked out really well with storylines having the River Boys come in so that Angelo could go."

    He added: "Originally I was only supposed to be on the show for six months, so it wasn't a shock because I always knew at some stage my character would be going."

    It was recently confirmed that Jacobz has signed up to reprise his role as host of the Australian X Factor later this year.

    Surely it is in the hands of scriptwriters to make something out of a character, lazy excuse to say the character has nowhere else to go

    Totally agree with you, Perdy. I'm upset that Angelo was written out when Luke Jacobz didn't want to go. Angelo is one of my favourite characters. He hasn't had many good storylines recently, but that's down to the writers, as you say. He should have stayed as a cop.

    Whatsontv.co.uk article. Luke Jacobz is returning to Summer Bay as Angelo Rosetta:


    EXCLUSIVE: Home and Away favourite Luke Jacobz returning to Summer Bay as Angelo Rosetta

    https://www.whatsontv.co.uk/news/exc...jacobz-611010/

    What's On TV can exclusively reveal that Angelo Rosetta is returning to Home and Away after nearly a decade away...

    Home and Away has announced that the much-loved character Angelo Rosetta will be making an exciting comeback to the Australian soap in the coming months.

    The news will thrill Home and Away fans, who haven’t seen beloved character Angelo on their screens since he departed Summer Bay back in June 2011.

    Actor Luke Jacobz will be reprising the role that he played for three years after joining the soap in July 2008.

    Fans of Home and Away will remember that Angelo was at the centre of some huge storylines during his time on the soap, including the horrific moment when he accidentally shot dead fellow police officer Jack Holden.

    Angelo was famous for his role as Sergeant in Summer Bay’s Police Force and and for his rocky relationship with another Home and Away favourite, Charlie Buckton, played by Esther Anderson.

    Home and Away exclusively told What’s On TV: “We’re thrilled to announce that Luke Jacobz has returned to Summer Bay.

    “It’s been almost a decade since his character Angelo Rosetta left the Bay, and now he’s back on the police force with everything to prove.”

    On reprising the role that he left back in 2011, actor Luke Jacobz said: “It’s been 10 years since I was last here so I’m really looking forward to meeting all the new cast and to see some old friends too.

    “I’m so excited that my first scene back is with Ray Meagher who plays Alf Stewart! We all have so much to catch up on. The show has always delivered great Aussie drama and I’m thrilled to be part of the talented family once more.”

    But after so long away from Summer Bay, what brings Angelo back to his old stomping ground?

    Home and Away has revealed he will be back on screen soon, so it doesn’t seem like we will have to wait much longer to find out more.

    Watch Home and Away every weekday at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5

    AUST PACE!


    Fan favourite Angelo returns to Home & Away this week, but not in the way you'd expect
    There's unfinished business where this copper is concerned.

    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...mes-back-64877

    Long-time Home And Away fans are in for a treat when a familiar face arrives back in town this week - but not everyone is welcoming.

    While fixing a boat engine on the pier, Alf (Ray Meagher) is approached by a man he knows all too well.

    Alf is momentarily taken aback by the man's sharp suit and assured manner, but there's no mistaking his identity: it's former cop Angelo Rosetta, who left Summer Bay nine long years ago.

    The pair exchange pleasantries, but Angelo (Luke Jacobz) isn't in town to catch up.

    He's investigating the discovery of Ross' (Justin Wozniak) body, which was found on the outskirts of town, and is on the hunt for the killer.

    He asks where he can find Colby (Tim Franklin) and his sister Bella (Courtney Miller) ? it's urgent.

    "Angelo's different this time around," Luke, 39, tells TV WEEK. "He's grown up a lot and isn't mucking around anymore.

    "He's always loved being a cop, but when he had the run-in with the River Boys all those years ago, he hung up the badge. He and Nicole [Tessa James] split and he refocused on the force to become a detective.

    "He doesn't want to make friends ? he's there simply to get his man."

    Alf, still stunned by how Angelo has changed, suggests the police station as the best place to find Colby.

    Angelo heads off to locate him?

    A few hours later, after getting reacquainted with Summer Bay, the detective comes across Bella and recognises her from the police files as Ross' daughter.

    He offers his condolences, promising he'll track down whoever was responsible and deliver justice to her family.

    Before a stunned Bella can say anything, Angelo is gone, leaving the teen in a state of panic. How will they get out of this?

    With a heads-up from his sister, Colby readies himself to meet Detective Rosetta. When he does he calmly relates the story that he, Dean (Patrick O'Connor) and Bella concocted the night before and answers all questions with ease.

    But his stomach is churning?

    "He has had a plan in motion in his head since he buried the body," Tim explains. "It's time to cover all his bases, get stories straight, alibis in line, and calm everyone down so he can deal with the investigation and make it go away."

    How long can a guilty Colby fool the dogged detective ? if he manages to fool him at all?


    And:

    Colby and Dean won't be pleased to see him back in town.

    It's so stupid Angelo can still be a cop when he actually killed another cop (Jack) and then tried to cover it up. Pot calling the kettle black here.

    Home and Away's Angelo Rosetta gets two clues to Colby Thorne's guilt
    Is he already suspicious?

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...-thorne-clues/

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

    Home and Away has aired Angelo Rosetta's return scenes in Australia ? and he has already been faced with two potential clues to Colby Thorne's guilt.

    Luke Jacobz has reprised his role as Angelo following a nine-year absence and has been thrown straight into the show's biggest unresolved storyline.

    Thursday's episodes on Channel 7 (August 13) saw Angelo reappear in Summer Bay, now back in the police force and working as a detective.

    Angelo reintroduced himself to Alf Stewart but wasted no time before focusing on the job at hand, trying to track down Bella Nixon and Colby.

    Following the discovery of Ross Nixon's body, which was buried in some bushland, Angelo has come to the Bay to oversee the murder investigation.

    His arrival left Bella spooked, as she wondered how Colby would cope under this close scrutiny.

    When Angelo finally came face-to-face with Colby, he revealed that he'd already spoken to Colby's ex-wife Chelsea Campbell (who left the show last year) about Ross.

    Although Chelsea hadn't revealed her knowledge of Colby's secret, she had shared recollections of the day that Ross disappeared ? describing it as the end of her marriage.

    Viewers know Chelsea's comment is a hint over how she could never forgive Colby for murdering his abusive stepfather, but has Angelo realised this?

    Meanwhile, Angelo also informed Colby that he and Dean Thompson would be expected at the police station the following morning for formal interviews. As the last people to see Ross alive, the pair are crucial witnesses.

    Colby complained that he wouldn't be able to share accurate recollections 18 months on, but Angelo found this strange and immediately questioned how Colby could ever forget the day that his wife, sister and friend were all kidnapped by Ross.

    With two suspicious signs already pointing to the truth, is Angelo already on the right track and suspecting Colby?

    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).

    We saw Angelo's first episode back last night in Aust. There was no mention of how/why he came to be back on the force (& as a detective). When he first sees Alf & shows him his badge, Alf just says "So, I see they let you back on the force" & then it's straight down to business re Angelo looking for Colby. Hopefully we will get more details later on....


    This is a Digital Spy article, for those wanting some more background on Angelo etc:


    Home and Away ? who is Angelo Rosetta and why is he back?
    Luke Jacobz has made a return to the role.

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...a-luke-jacobz/

    Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

    Home and Away is welcoming back a face from the past, as Luke Jacobz reprises his role as Angelo Rosetta.

    Angelo ? who was last seen on screen in 2011 ? is returning to Summer Bay as part of the Ross Nixon murder investigation, after the body of Colby Thorne's abusive stepfather was found buried in some bushland.

    Here's a quick refresher on all things Angelo and what we know about his return so far.

    Who is Home and Away's Angelo Rosetta?

    Luke Jacobz played the role of Angelo on Home and Away for a three-year stint, joining Summer Bay in 2008 and bowing out in 2011. The actor had previously appeared in other Aussie shows like Heartbreak High and McLeod's Daughters.

    Confident and outgoing, Angelo joined the local police station as a temporary replacement for Jack Holden, who was taking time off while his wife Martha was ill.

    Angelo's early storylines included some romantic chemistry with police colleague Charlie Buckton and an affair with Belle Taylor, who was in a relationship with Aden Jefferies at the time.

    Angelo's time in the Bay took a dramatic turn shortly after his relationship with Belle turned sour. When Belle was attacked and Angelo became a suspect, he struck a dodgy deal with developer Tim Coleman in a bid to restore his reputation.

    In return for Tim clearing his name over Belle's attack, Angelo helped to sabotage an investigation into the development site that Tim was overseeing. Amid suspicions that the land used for the site contained toxic waste, Angelo switched some soil samples to get the investigation dropped.

    Angelo's corrupt connection to Tim later aroused the suspicions of Jack Holden. When Jack followed Angelo to the development site one day, a shot was fired in Angelo's direction. Angelo retaliated by firing his own gun, but in a tragic twist, Jack was caught in the crossfire and took a bullet.

    Jack died from his injury and Angelo took another shift to the dark side by trying to cover up his involvement. However, Charlie ? who by this point, had become romantically involved with Angelo ? became suspicious and started to compile evidence against him.

    Angelo couldn't keep his guilt under wraps for too long and ended up making a full confession at Jack's funeral after his lies caught up with him, which led to his arrest and departure from the Bay.

    Months later, Angelo made a surprise return as charges against him had been dropped, much to the shock of the Summer Bay locals. Angelo was brought back as part of a major investigation into international people smuggling, but he received a frosty reception from Jack's loved ones.

    Angelo's former love interest Charlie also gave him a hard time, although the pair later reunited.

    The second major story arc for Angelo saw him investigating the people smuggling which had implicated Summer Bay. He made a breakthrough in the case by discovering that Jack's cousin Hugo Austin was heavily involved.

    Angelo ended up striking a deal with Hugo, allowing him to fake his death and go into witness protection in exchange for providing information. After the successful resolution of the case, Angelo was promoted to station sergeant. However, his relationship with Charlie didn't last and they eventually decided to just be friends.

    Angelo's time in the police force later came to an abrupt end when Hugo broke witness protection rules by resuming contact with Martha, who he'd fallen for following Jack's death.

    Angelo tracked the pair down when they were in hiding together, but let them get away rather than bringing Hugo back into custody. He claimed to have been overpowered by Hugo in the moment, but had to resign from the police force when his superiors realised that he was lying.

    Why did Angelo Rosetta leave Home and Away?

    Angelo's later storylines in the show saw him set up his own restaurant and begin a relationship with Nicole Franklin. He also clashed with the River Boys after Brax, Heath and Casey Braxton moved to the Bay.

    In 2011, Luke announced that he was leaving the show and it wasn't his decision to bow out.

    Luke told TV Week at the time: "When they said the character was leaving I was upset, because I love working on the show.

    "It was really that the character had reached all the different goals that the show wanted him to, and it worked out really well with storylines having the River Boys come in so that Angelo could go.

    "Originally I was only supposed to be on the show for six months, so it wasn't a shock because I always knew at some stage my character would be going."

    Angelo's final scenes saw him leave the Bay with Nicole and her baby son George. In real life, Luke concentrated on his career as a TV presenter, including fronting the Aussie version of The X Factor.

    Why is Angelo Rosetta back in the Bay?

    Now back in the police force and promoted to a detective, Angelo is returning to our screens to oversee the Ross Nixon murder investigation.

    This will undoubtedly put him at odds with fellow cop Colby Thorne, who's trying to keep himself out of trouble after killing Ross in February 2019.

    Luke Jacobz recently told TV Tonight: "He's got a lot of hunches, some things that he thinks he can follow up. But unfortunately a group of people try to put Angelo off the scent.

    "Some of them try to protect each other, so it's not an open and shut case for Angelo. They don't make his job easy at all."

    Home and Away bosses have also cast former Revenge actress Annabelle Stephenson as Angelo's wife Taylor.

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