Home and Away reveals love triangle as Lacey’s mystery sisters are revealed.

Lacey arrived on Australian screens in mid-March as the girlfriend of current River Boy leader Gage (Tom Wilson). As of the latest Aussie episodes, she’s currently lying low in a safe house, fearing repercussions for giving a statement against her boyfriend after he left Theo (Matt Evans) for dead.

Despite having a cop as a dad, Lacey has never yet mentioned her parents, nor her father’s profession, suggesting that he currently has no idea of the trouble his daughter is in.

Attentive fans may recognise the name Jeremy Lindsay Taylor. The actor previously starred as Detective Dylan Carter, who was an integral part of the investigation into the death of Charlotte King (Erika Heynatz).

Dylan Carter arrived in the Bay in 2016, and was soon revealed as the abusive ex-fiancé of Kat Chapman (Pia Miller).

As the investigation heated up, the pair briefly rekindled their relationship, but Kat ended things when she learnt Dylan had been working against her in the investigation.

Some twelve months later, Kat was subpoenaed to give evidence against Dylan in a police corruption trial.

Eventually, it became evident that Dylan was linked to Robbo (Jake Ryan), whose amnesia prevented him from realising his true identity. It emerged that Robbo had been sent to the Bay to save Kat, after the force received word that the corrupt cops were trying to take out all the witnesses.

Two years later, Robbo experienced a flashback, prompting him to remember an altercation with Dylan which ultimately led to his amnesia and his arrival in the Bay.

Following a confrontation with the Ouroboros gang who had tasked him with tracking down Robbo, Dylan was arrested by the AFP. Some weeks later, Robbo learnt that he had been killed in his cell.

Hopefully Jeremy’s new character arrives in Summer Bay with less of a chequered past.

Jo, Lacey’s sister (Maddison Brown)

Another new character set to arrive in the coming months is Jo, played by Maddison Brown.

Footage from Celebtime’s Home and Away Tour recently captured Maddison filming alongside Jeremy Lindsay Taylor on the balcony of Salt, suggesting that the pair could be father and daughter.

The scene in question sees Theo and Lacey approach the Surf Club together. Theo catches sight of the pair sitting on the balcony, and gestures for Lacey to look up.

Lacey looks decidedly unimpressed by what she sees, and walks off – presumably heading up to Salt to confront her father and sister.

Joining Jo and her dad on the balcony in the scene is Tane (Ethan Browne), leading some fans to speculate that Jo could be the next love interest for Tane, after his engagement to Harper (Jessica Redmayne) recently fell apart.

More recent footage from early May seems to confirm the familial connection between the trio.

In a scene filmed earlier this week – which you can view below – Lacey and Jo walk together, with Lacey appearing to say: “You can tell dad…”

While the audio is difficult to make out, Lacey’s sister responds that “it’s not gonna be enough to make him leave work.”

Lacey then confirms the new character’s name, as she insists: “Jo, you have to do this!”

The scenes also confirm that Lacey (Sophea Pennington) will be sticking around for the long term.

Her current storyline – which has seen her sent to a safe house to prevent the River Boys from getting revenge on her – might suggest that she won’t be returning to Summer Bay.

However, Lacey isn’t going anywhere, and is the newest full-time member of the Home and Away cast to have hit our screens.

Footage from CelebTime in late April shows that Lacey and Theo are both still in the show, and are now dating.

Not only are Theo and Lacey dating on the show, but Sophea Pennington recently confirmed that she and Matt Evans are an item too.

“Yes, we are dating in real life,” Sophie confirmed to New Zealand publication The Post. “He really is the best. And also, it works, you know, I guess chemistry’s chemistry.

“I think, if anything, it creates such a safe space for us – because we’re so comfortable with each other – to be able to really dive deep into the story and the relationship between the two characters.”

Avalon Bracken (Gemma Dart)

In late January, actress and musician Gemma Dart was seen filming alongside Stephanie Panozzo (Eden) and Ryan Bown (Sonny).

The actor’s CV has revealed her character’s name to be Avalon Bracken.

It’s not yet known how long she will be on screen for, or how she’s connected to Eden or Sonny, but as Gemma is also a musician in real life, could she have a musical connection to Lyrik?

Gemma is followed on Instagram by Adam Rowland (Remi), Angelina Thomson (Kirby), Tristan Gorey (Levi), Ryan Bown (Sonny), Sophea Pennington (Lacey) and Emily Weir (Mac).

Gemma previously appeared in Home and Away in 2022, as Becky, a friend of Theo’s from his TAFE course, who he brought to Salt in an attempt to make Chloe (Sam Barrett) jealous.

A new foster child for Roo?

Roo (Georgie Parker) has only recently said goodbye to Eliza on Australian screens – she’ll remain on UK screens for another six weeks – but it looks like she’s about to get a second foster child.

Lacey arrived on Australian screens in mid-March as the girlfriend of current River Boy leader Gage (Tom Wilson). As of the latest Aussie episodes, she’s currently lying low in a safe house, fearing repercussions for giving a statement against her boyfriend after he left Theo (Matt Evans) for dead.
