There are many things Home And Away is known for – sunshine, stunning scenery, a disproportionate ratio of drama to the town’s tiny population, but also for creating life-long friendships amongst its cast members.
Few Summer Bay bonds seem stronger than that of Sam Frost, who plays Jasmine, and Penny McNamee, who plays Tori.
While their on-screen friendship can be complex at times, their real-life relationship is unwavering.
After joining the show in 2017, Sam and Tori quickly became close, with their storylines intertwining and coming together through Jasmine’s eventual husband Robbo (Jake Ryan), who also fathered Tori’s child, Grace.
Off-screen, Sam and Penny have always had each other’s backs, continually showing their love and support for one another through the good and bad.
