Fan favourites make surprise return to Home and Away – Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor return to Home and Away in 2025.
Home and Away fan favourites Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor will reprise their roles as Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson when they return to Channel 7 and 7plus in the new year.
Scenes will be filmed this month in the Whitsunday Region of tropical north Queensland, for a top-secret storyline that will play out at a yet to be announced date, early 2025.
Prior to their on-screen departure, Ziggy and Dean were long-standing residents of Summer Bay, whose on-again-off-again romance took Home and Away fans by storm.
After a turbulent pregnancy in 2023, Ziggy and Dean welcomed baby girl Izzy into the world. The three were last seen on screens in March 2023, when they made the difficult decision to say goodbye to the Bay and head north to Queensland so Dean could be closer to his son, Jai.
On returning to Australia’s #1 drama, Sophie Dillman says: “It feels so good to be home!”
Patrick O’Connor added: “I can’t wait for the action, and for fans to see this storyline play out.”
Home and Away fans can stay tuned for more information in the new year about Ziggy and Dean’s highly anticipated return.
