The actor told The Daily Telegraph in March, fans should expect his arrival to ruffle a few feathers in the coastal community.
“I can tell he’s a bit of a bad guy who comes into the show and causes some trouble among the locals of Summer Bay… apparently it’s a surface thing, but there’s a lot of depth to it that I’ve known.” “I had a lot of fun exploring,” he revealed.
Orpin has several credits to his name, including Preacher, Love Me, Upright and the American superhero series Titans.
Meanwhile, Hailey Pinto is expected to take on the role of Abigail Fowler, the sister of Eden Fowler (Stephanie Panozzo) and Levi Fowler (Tristan Gorey).
Eagle-eyed fans have spotted Hailey filming what appeared to be an engagement celebration for Eden and Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright).
The fanpage estimates that Pinto’s character will hit the screens in the next three months.
