Sydney Daily Telegraph article - new character Felicity 'Flick' Newman (sister to Cash Newman), to be played by Jacqui Purvis.
"Jacqui's Right At Home In The Bay.
Given it is always summer in Summer Bay, Jacqui Purvis was not fazed about shooting in her swimsuit.
The 25-year-old actor is the newest face to join the cast of Home and Away, which is shot at Sydney's Palm Beach.
"For me it wasn't a huge deal," Purvis told The Daily Telegraph about filming in her swimsuit. "To me, that is the character, she would just run around in her bikini and it makes sense.
"Also, we are very lucky with the cast and crew, they are so empathetic towards it and I was very comfortable on set."
Purvis joins Home and Away as Felicity 'Flick' Newman and will make her debut on air this month.
She may be familiar to viewers from her work on rival TV soap Neighbours.
"Flick is a firecracker," Purvis said. "She has non-stop energy, an abundance of confidence, she is fun, flirty but also under all of that she is an incredibly vulnerable, sensitive and intelligent woman. That is the whole fun of playing her, she is a real joy because you get to play with all of those layers."
Purvis described landing the job as "a dream" at a time when the industry is suffering greatly due to the ongoing pandemic.
"It means consistency and it means I will get to move that acting muscle every day, which is so valuable," she said.
"I will get to act every single day, doing my dream job each day and that is more than I could have ever asked for."

Try to stay cool this Summer as Home and Away heats up with a new cast member.
Joining the established cast is Jacqui Purvis (Neighbours) as Felicity Newman, a firecracker with an abundance of confidence and no filter ? which can get her into a lot of trouble.
Finding herself on top of a bar dancing the night away, Felicity?s antics end up attracting the attention of Tane (Ethan Browne), one of the Parata brothers.
Carefree and easy going, Felicity is prepared to lay back, enjoy the ride and see where life takes her. But it wasn?t always like that?
Growing up in rural New South Wales, Felicity was only vaguely aware that times were tough for her family.
She was partially sheltered from the reality of life by her older brother Cash, who was always there to brighten her day and put a smile on her face.
On what we can expect from her character, Jacqui told Metro.co.uk: ?Felicity is a firecracker. She has non-stop energy, an abundance of confidence, and no filter; which can, at times, get her into a lot of trouble.
?However, under all that is a vulnerable, sensitive, intelligent woman, who has had a very hard upbringing.
?At the beginning she is there for her brother, but what draws her in closer, apart from family, is definitely a certain someone, so the Bay might have to get used to seeing Flick around??
There?s a lot more going on too as the mystery around who killed Susie intensifies ? and a devastating and explosive crash.
Looks like it?s going to be quite the summer!
