Her school teacher character on Home And Away had a complicated and controversial relationship with the youngest Braxton brother and student Casey.

And now Emma Leonard’s latest character Tracey, in Channel Seven’s new drama 800 Words, looks like she’s again set to cause quite the stir in town – if her stripping down to the buff in the preview is anything to go by.

Leonard, 29, stars in the upcoming series opposite the likes of Packed To The Rafters star Erik Thomson, who plays widowed journalist George Turner. 

In the preview released for the show, Tracey can be seen meeting George for the first time on a New Zealand beach, wearing nothing but bikini bottoms which she eventually takes off as she smiles.

George is new in town and moved to the beach-side suburb with his two children Arlo and Shay and bought a house online before seeing it. 

In the preview, when George bumps into Tracey on the beach, he looks nothing but stunned and speechless as confident Tracey does little to cover herself up.

‘…I’m new here,’ he blurts out as he comes across the blonde bombshell.  

The preview continues flashing to different parts of the series and what we can expect, including George mingling with locals in the suburb. 

The preview first begins showing George and his children walking on the beach as George reads the house advertisement they first saw, that didn’t exactly deliver.
