Luke Jacobz continued "It's been ten years since I was here last so I'm really looking forward to meeting the new cast and seeing some old friends as well. I'm so excited that my first backstage scene is with Ray Meagher playing Alf Stewart!
"We all got to catch up on so much. The show has always delivered great Aussie drama and I'm excited to be part of the talented family again. "Since Angelo was forced to resign from the police force back in 2010, there's no doubt that fans will be intrigued about what brings him back to Summer Bay in that capacity.
Luke later revealed to Sydney Confidential that the show producers had contacted him in January and that he was going to stick around for a while.
"They didn't tell me that I was going to die," he added. "I'm not going to come in and finish my Home and Away job, so it's a couple of months and then if it stops or if it lasts I'm going to be happy either way." Luke shot in Palm Beach last week, so we can probably expect Angelo's return on the air in July."
