Hope you all liked our first session of secrets, so here we go again.

In your comments, some of you mentioned you like Spoilers more than Teasers. I know I said I wouldn't give Spoilers, but I'm going to break my rule this one time, just so the Spoiler lovers don't feel hard done by.

If you don't like Spoilers and prefer Teasers DO NOT READ THE NEXT PARAGRAPH.

Kirsty will be leaving. She will break Miles' heart, but long term viewers will get the satisfaction of seeing her mother Shelley return and a resolution of her tension with her family before she leaves. There are going to be long term ramifications for Miles and his attitude to the world out the back of this shattering event. Trust me, this is one story you won't want to miss. There'll be a lot of tears shed in living rooms around the world before this one is over.

OKAY SPOILER OVER. YOU CAN LOOK NOW.

Here are a few hints of things to come around a couple of our new arrivals.

Romeo Smith, an old, best mate of Jai, is going to hit the Bay and also the heart of Annie. This will clearly cause romantic triangle tensions and give weeks of interesting story. Romeo is a very different sort of guy to Jai, so Annie finds herself torn between the fun loving, cheeky newcomer and her more serious ex-boyfriend. Romeo will also bring a lot of fun in to the show with his freewheeling attitude to life. There's no doubt he's going to be a very popular addition to the canvass.

Xavier's life is going to be complicated by the return of his mother Gina to live in Summer Bay. It is exciting news that the talented and much loved Sonia Todd is coming back to the show as a new regular cast member. Obviously Xavier and Hugo's lives will be different with their mother in them fulltime and Tony will now have his sister to worry about. And worry he will when he sees her moving in to an unexpected romantic attraction. Brendan won't be staying in Summer Bay with the family, but I won't spoil your fun by telling you how he finds a new life for himself in a touching and uplifting storyline.

Anyway, that's enough for this week. Some promises there of great new characters and interesting, fun, human and emotional stories to come.

Next time we'll talk about the hard job of keeping the balance in the show between the more high concept, thriller style stories and the more down to earth human ones and I'll be giving a few hints of some things to come in both styles of story area.

ndigo Walker and her family have decided to move to Summer Bay. Dr Sid Walker (Robert Mammone)has come to take over Rachel's job at the hospital whilst she is on maternity leave. The kids Indigo (Samara Weaving) and Dexter (Tom Green) are not happy about the move from the City, whilst Jody Walker (Victoria Haralabidou) is looking for a fresh start and to put some distance between Sid and his philandering ways.

Dexter is happy to make friends and immediately connects with Annie, but Indigo takes a little longer to warm up.

Samara Weaving plays the character of Indigo so we wanted to find out if she was enjoying the role. She is also the niece of Hugo Weaving, so it is encouraging to meet the next generation of Australian talent.

You travelled extensively as a child, what was it like growing up in Fiji, Singapore and Fiji?

It was good because most children stay in the one spot, but I got to experience different cultures and different lifestyles and I think that’s made me who I am and also it got me into acting. I lived in Singapore for 5 years and it was amazing, it’s so clean and there is no winter, it’s summer all the time.

How did it get you into acting?

Because we moved on average every two years I was really shy about meeting other school kids and getting along with people, I just wouldn’t talk to anyone for weeks so my parents thought that if they put me into a drama school I might be able to come out of my shell and it worked.

Does it help having actors in the family?

Yeah on my Dad’s side they are all pretty creative and they are all really supportive, I guess Hugo in particular, but I see him more as an uncle. I had to stay at his house for a few weeks whilst I filming and he would help me with my lines. My Dad is a filmmaker now, he just finished a feature film which is pretty exciting called ‘The Competition.’

You have one sister, Morgan, is she into acting as well?

Yes one younger sister, I think she is juggling a lot of ideas at the moment, one day she wants to be an astronaut, the next day an actress..!

Have you grown up around sets and film locations?

No not really, my first experience was last year on Out of The Blue, so going to Home and Away wasn’t that much of a shock, it was really exciting but I’d had that little bit of experience which really helped.

Did you know any of your cast mates or crew from working on Out of The Blue?

There were a few crew members and directors and I knew Bernard Curry as well, which was cool.

How did you get the part on Home and Away?

My agent called me and said there was an audition and I got very excited, so because I live in Canberra, I drove to Sydney and auditioned and then got a call back and my agent said I got the part.

How was your character Indigo described to you?

She is a troubled teenager, she is dealing with her parents splitting up and blames her father for everything, she really doesn’t get along with her father. I’ve personally had no family issues, so I had to research how Indigo would go about dealing with that awful but quite common family situation. She becomes quite defensive and angry about it.

Do you enjoy playing her?

Yes she is a lot of fun, she has a lot of attitude and isn’t afraid to stand up for herself or her brother.

You have a few confrontations with Nicole, was that hard to play?

Tessa is such a lovely person and she is very talented, so it was easy to get into the character and working with Todd is great. Everyone is so friendly and supportive like a little family.

Do you think Home and Away is good training for young actors?

Yes definitely it’s a lot faster than a movie set, you really have to keep on top of things and be very organised, it’s a big learning experience I guess. We get scripts in ‘blocks’ ahead of time and we have to learn the lines very quickly and then dig deep into the character and find out what their motives are and get into
