Home and Away is headed for some drama! Determined to do everything she can to help Maggie (Kestie Morassi) and Ben (Rohan Nichol) reconnect, Roo (Georgie Parker) is just waiting to take action.
So when the Summer Bay teacher learns that Alf (Ray Meagher) has invited her and Ben out for dinner, Roo seizes the opportunity to invite Maggie. But what Roo deliberately neglects to do is tell Maggie that Ben will also be there.
WATCH: No one is giving up on Ben
Indeed, both Maggie and Ben are in for quite a surprise when they realise that they’ll be having dinner together.
Clearly feeling rather unnerved by the somewhat awkward situation, Maggie hits the bottle a little too hard as the evening progresses.
When Ben later suggests he drives his estranged wife home, the school principal jumps at the offer.
But let’s just say that the rest of the evening does not exactly go according to plan. Will Roo’s matchmaking scheme end in disaster?
Georgie – who plays Roo Stewart on the hit Channel Seven show – promises there’s also still much to come for Alf’s beloved daughter Roo this year.
‘The main thing for me is that I love the people I’m working with and we can work a bit of magic into what we do,’ she says, smiling. ‘It’s really such a joy.’
Previously, Georgie has taken a break from filming to concentrate on her stage work.
‘Channel Seven have always understood that it’s a real need for me to do theatre. I feel extremely grateful,’ Georgie previously told.
‘It’s always so nice to step back on that set and see the crew and the cast.’
