Home and Away has treated fans to a first look at Dean Thompson and Ziggy Astoni’s thrilling comeback.
Last year, it was announced that Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor would be returning to their respective roles for a top secret storyline which will air sometime this year.
It’s good news for fans as it looks like those scenes are set to air sometime soon, with the soap confirming the news via a post on Instagram.

Sharing a video to their social media in which Dean and Ziggy can be seen enjoying a boat ride together, Home and Away captioned the post: “Dean and Ziggy Return! Coming soon on #HomeandAway.”
“Dean and Ziggy return,” a voiceover in the video says. “As Home and Away takes you to places they’ve never been.”
The duo left the soap back in 2023 after their daughter Izzy was born. When Dean’s ex told him she was moving to Queensland with their son Jai, Dean and Ziggy moved to Queensland to be nearer to Dean’s first child.

Fans took to the comment section to share their delight at the comeback, with one fan writing: “Yeahhh love these 2 wish they were still in the show.”
While some fans were happy to see the couple return to their screens, they shared their disappointment that the guest appearance is likely to be brief.
“So happy but also sad it may only be for a little guest appearance,” a viewer penned. “It’s only for two episodes but good to see them back,” another person commented.
Meanwhile, one fan called for the soap to write the pair back in for good, saying: “Woo hoo!!! I hope they are back for more than 1 episode. Can u please write them back in for good…”
