    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 confirms blast from the past for Ari Parata in 2021 storyline
    Two new characters are joining the Bay.

    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).

    Digital Spy article. Nothing really new, but some more pictures:



    Home and Away teases new characters Mia and Chloe as Ari's backstory is explored
    Ari will come face-to-face with his past.

    Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian readers.

    Home and Away has revealed more official details and photos teasing the arrival of new characters Mia and Chloe Anderson.

    The mother-daughter duo will be joining Summer Bay soon and look set to shake up life for the Parata family.

    Anna Samson has been cast in the role of Mia, billed as an intelligent, gutsy and strong-willed mother-of-one.

    Mia dated Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams) years ago, but their relationship was hit by tragedy when they lost a baby together.

    Ari's grief manifested itself as self-destructive behaviour at the time, ultimately leading to a 10-year prison sentence.

    Although Mia's little girl Chloe had been a daughter figure for Ari at the time, Mia decided it was best for them both to move away. This separated Chloe from the only father she'd ever known.

    Show bosses have cast Sam Barrett in the role of Chloe, tipped as a "smart and sassy" new arrival who comes to the Bay at an important transitional moment in her life.

    Chloe is just starting to figure out what her life as an adult should be like and she's ready to start exploring the world on her own. She has inherited her mum's intelligence and rebelliousness, so is sure to make her mark in the Bay.

    In upcoming scenes, Chloe turns up in the Bay after running into her old friend Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) during his holiday in New Zealand.

    Chloe travels back with Nikau as she wants to catch up with Ari and hopes they can find a glimmer of the father/daughter relationship they once enjoyed.

    A couple of days later, Mia is next to appear in the Bay as she plans to take Chloe back home. This leads to her own reunion with Ari, who's currently in a relationship with Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir).

    A Home and Away insider exclusively told Digital Spy: "Can they ever really heal old wounds and be a family again? And what will happen when Mia arrives to take Chloe home? When Mia and Ari reconnect after all these years, will their feelings for each other reignite?"

    Home and Away will air Mia and Chloe's first scenes next week in Australia and in early March on Channel 5 in the UK.

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

    EXCLUSIVE: Home And Away's newcomer Anna Samson on Mia's past romance with Ari
    ''He was the great love of her life.''

    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...-romance-66850

    Anna Samson is the Home And Away newcomer set to cause waves on the 2021 series of the show.

    The 30-year-old star plays Mia Anderson, Ari's ex-girlfriend who arrives in Summer Bay with her daughter, Chloe, played by Sam Barrett, who was previously snapped on set kissing Lukas Radovich aka Ryder.

    Dating before Ari was sent to prison, there's sure to be a lot of unfinished business between the pair and we can sense the drama already, particularly since the handsome Summer Bay resident is already dating Mackenzie.

    TV WEEK sat down with Anna to talk about her upcoming plot lines on the show involving Ari Parata, if she was ever a Home And Away fan growing up and how she spends her free time away from acting!

    This week, Ari Parata (Rob-Kipa Williams) asks his ex whether they'd still be together if he hadn't gone to prison. What does she say?

    I think she believes they would have stayed together. He was the great love of her life.

    What does Mia think of Ari being with Mac (Emily Weir)?

    It's always a little strange isn't it, seeing your first great love with another woman?

    Growing up, did you watch the show?

    I didn't, but my best friend did and has every piece of H&A information one could ever need, from storylines to cast trivia. She's my go-to for soap knowledge.

    You played quite a scary character in Wake In Fright. Are you ready for fans to see you in a different light?

    I am! Wake In Fright [the 2017 miniseries bases on the famed 1961 Australian novel] was an opportunity to work with a character far from myself both psychologically and physically.

    It's exciting to show something a little closer to my own nature.

    What do you do away from acting?

    I read ? I'm a complete bookworm! My boyfriend bought me a Kindle recently. It's wonderful ? like having a library in my pocket, though I do still like to buy books. I find it romantic.

    Trouble in paradise? Home And Away?s newcomer Mia threatens to come between Ari and Mackenzie
    ''Her presence brings up memories that Ari believes he had buried.''

    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...nzie-mia-66913

    One moment Ari and Mac are in the throes of a blissful romance in Home And Away.

    The next, their happy days are a world away now that his ex, Mia, is in the Bay.

    When Mac (Emily Weir) spies Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) and Mia (Anna Samson) having an intense chat, she fears the worst.

    Is Mac losing her man?

    Ever since Mia showed up, looking for her daughter Chloe (Sam Barrett) ? also Ari's stepdaughter ? Mac and Ari have struggled to be together.

    Ari and Mia, however, are spending plenty of time in each other's company. This week, after a morning at the beach, Ari asks Mia to breakfast ? which flows into an invitation to a Parata family barbecue.

    "Her [Mia's] presence brings up memories that Ari believes he had buried," Rob reveals.

    When Mia shows up at Salt to grab some beer for the thirsty folk at the barbecue, she unwittingly shares the details of the event with a surprised Mac.

    Hang on, where's her invite to the Parata barbie? She's still Ari's girlfriend, isn't she?

    At the barbecue, it's Ari's brother Tane (Ethan Browne) who questions him as to where Mac is. Even Mia is curious as to why she isn't there.

    "Mia is hoping she won't get in the way of Ari's new life or relationship," Anna tells TV WEEK.

    "She has no bad feelings towards Mac, despite it being a little strange for her."

    Ari and Mia continue their conversation in private at the side of the house.

    But what they don't know is that Mac, who has arrived at the barbecue to sort out things with Ari, catches the two former lovers sharing a private moment.

    She decides to flee the scene before anyone notices she's there.

    What were Ari and Mia talking about? And what will it mean for Mac and Ari?

    Home and Away confirms testing times for Ari and Mia after tragedy
    Mia makes a big decision - but will Ari agree?

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...times-tragedy/

    Home and Away spoilers follow for Australian and UK viewers.

    This article contains details of the loss of a child which some readers may prefer to avoid.

    Home and Away has confirmed that Ari Parata and Mia Anderson's relationship will come under strain as they struggle to cope with the tragic loss of their unborn baby.

    Mia (Anna Samson) was recently involved in a serious car accident alongside Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor) and Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) and, although she survived the crash, she has sadly lost the baby that she was expecting with Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams), leaving both of them devastated.

    TV Week reports that in scenes to air this week in Australia, Mia is discharged from hospital and says goodbye to Nikau, who is still in a coma following the accident. Ari offers to help Mia as they head home, but Mia acts coldly towards her partner in response.

    When the pair arrive home, Mia notices that the ultrasound photo of their baby that had been on the fridge is missing. Angry Mia accuses Ari of trying to disregard their loss by removing the photo.

    In response, Ari shows Mia a keepsake box that he has, which contains items belonging to their son, Kauri, who died shortly after he was born a number of years ago. He points out that the photo is now in this box and he tries to reach out to Mia, but she refuses to let him in.

    Mia later shares her worries that Ari might want to try for another baby, revealing that she doesn't want to try again. Having suffered a number of baby losses with Ari over the years, she can't face going through another.

    When Ari shows up at the gym later, Mia blurts out how she feels about the idea of trying for another baby. She tells Ari that if this is a deal-breaker for him, she will simply have to deal with it.

    But does Ari want to try again? And if he does, does this mean that Mia will call time on their relationship?

    Home and Away airs these scenes this week on Channel 7 in Australia and in September on Channel 5 in the UK.

    An unwelcome visitor on Home and Away puts Mia on edge: "The past has resurfaced in Summer Bay"
    ''Mia doesn?t like or trust Matthew.''

    https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...-visitor-69712

    Returning from their weekend away, Mia is closer to Chloe than ever, but she's still keeping a big secret from her daughter in Home And Away this week.

    Chloe's (Sam Barrett) father Matthew (James Sweeny) has arrived and is keen to meet the child he never knew he had. He threatens to tear down Mia's (Anna Samson) world if she doesn't help.

    "Mia is in utter shock that the past has resurfaced in Summer Bay," Anna tells TV WEEK. "This is a man she thought she had left behind for good, and for good reason. She finds the idea of him being in their life terrifying. She could not be more against the idea."

    With Theo (Matt Evans) and Ryder (Lukas Radovich) still both vying for her attention, Chloe has enough on her mind to be distracted from Mia's lie.

    She soon finds herself trapped in yet another battle between the two young men when Theo pesters Mia and Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) about Chloe, then shows up on her doorstep.

    Meanwhile, Mia spots Matthew as he leaves the gym and confronts him, demanding he leave the Bay forever. She insists Chloe isn't interested in meeting him, but in doing so, Mia accidentally reveals her name. He agrees to go.

    "Mia doesn't like or trust Matthew," Anna explains. "She knew it was for the best that he wasn't part of her or her daughter's life."

    Before he can leave, however, Matthew hears Irene (Lynne McGranger) call Chloe's name and, for the first time, he sees his daughter.

    Thinking she's helping, Irene hands Matthew one of Chloe's cards with all her contact details and suddenly he's more determined than ever to meet.

    But Mia has a card of her own to play: she declares she didn't give her consent the night Chloe was conceived. And if Matthew tries to come between her and her daughter, she'll make sure everyone knows the truth.
