“We definitely delve into disordered eating for sure,” Laura said before adding she didn’t think she would land the role.
“I am a 25-year-old size 10 woman, so when this audition brief came to me I kind of assumed I was past it age-wise.
“[I’m] also just not in the right size bracket to even be considered for the role. They have done an amazing job.”
JR is also joining the show.
(Instagram)Fellow newcomer JR is no stranger to Aussie soaps having appeared on hit shows such as Winners & Losers, The Secret Daughter and Neighbours.
The 35-year-old memorable played Erinsborough High School hunk and captain of the football team, Taj Coppin, from 2002 to 2004.
