Home and Away spoilers follow.
Home and Away has teased a first look at Felicity Newman’s new love interest Rory – although their first meeting gets off to a rather rocky start.
Felicity and Rory meet for the first time on Australian screens this week as Titans actor Joshua Orpin joins the soap, with the scenes due to air in August in the UK on Channel 5.
TV Week reports that Felicity is less than impressed by Rory, who whistles at her while she’s on the beach from Salt’s balcony.
Felicity is furious and confronts Rory, demanding to know what he thinks he’s doing whistling at a complete stranger in such a sexist way.
But as they get talking, Felicity finds that she’s unexpectedly won over by Rory’s charm.
It soon emerges that Rory is a member of the River Boys who recently arrived in the Bay with his friend Dingo.
They turned up to provide Mali Hudson with some support against the Allen family, after Mali’s brother Iluka found himself in serious trouble.
Despite his terrible first impression, Rory decides to give Felicity his phone number. She’s uncertain and ponders if she’s ready for a new relationship following her drawn-out split with Tane Parata, as well as whether Rory is the right person for her.
