In a soap opera titled Home And Away, the characters tend to stay more at their ‘home’ in Australia rather than being ‘away’.
However, in forthcoming episodes of this beloved soap, the show’s star Samara Weaving, portraying Indigo Walker, has traveled to the U.S. island of Hawaii.
The 19-year-old actress, along with co-stars Luke Mitchell, Georgie Parker, and Robert Mammone, arrived in Honolulu over the weekend to film for a week on the island.
With the beautiful sunny weather, Weaving has been seizing numerous chances to enhance her tan.
Despite making the trip to Hawaii, the actress confessed she was unfamiliar with surfing…thus, she has been taking lessons throughout her visit.
Earlier this week, she expressed her excitement, ‘I think there’ll definitely be some shopping, but my main goal is to hit the surf; I haven’t learned to surf yet and I think, ‘what better place to learn than Hawaii?’
Between filming, Weaving enjoyed playful moments with her handsome co-star Luke, who portrays her love interest Romeo Smith.
The romance on-screen is expected to be complicated by the introduction of love rival Ruby Buckton (Rebecca Breeds), who develops feelings for Romeo, causing distress for his girlfriend.
Nonetheless, the show’s producer is keeping the details of their Hawaii storyline a secret, so viewers will need to wait for its airing later this year to see what unfolds.
Producer Cam Welsh commented, ‘We’ve crafted a fantastic storyline, and the locations we’re filming in are breathtaking, nearly as stunning as Summer Bay.
‘It’s a thrilling chance for the show to explore something new and broaden the narratives we present.’
Clearly having a blast filming in Hawaii, Weaving shared on her Twitter, ‘I love taking surfing lessons. Conquering the waves!
‘These lessons are truly enjoyable, and I eagerly anticipate my next one tomorrow! Working in Hawaii is such a joy and a privilege.’
Weaving, who hails from Adelaide, joined the cast of Home And Away in 2009 as the troubled teenage daughter of Sid (Mammone) and Jody (Victoria Haralabidou).
