A new arrival in Summer Bay has recently left Home And Away fans curious – and Marilyn more than a little worried.
Roo (Georgie Parker) recently agreed to tutor Heather (Sofia Nolan), who’d called up looking for help with a law-school application.
Heather (Sofia Nolan) is Summer Bay’s latest addition.

Georgie Parker welcomed Sofia to the H&A crew on her Instagram.
(Image: Instagram)How did your role as Heather come about?
Through my wonderful agent. I found the brief really enticing, given Heather’s vivacious nature and the exciting plot. I got the role two weeks after my audition. It was such a wonderful surprise. My mum and I literally jumped for joy in the kitchen.
What’s she like?
Heather is a force to be reckoned with. Given her relatively unfortunate family life and upbringing, her confident attitude and spirit is admirable. She has a passion for family law, and wants to help others who have experienced that struggle.
“I got the role two weeks after my audition,” Sofia tells TV WEEK.
(Image: Instagram)Did you watch Home And Away growing up?
Funnily enough, prior to this job, I’d never seen a full episode – embarrassing, I know. How can I call myself Australian? [Laughs] I hadn’t grown up with the show as most people had – my mum and dad raised my big sister and I on The Simpsons and Looney Tunes. It made it all the more exciting to be welcomed as part of the team with such warmth
