What has been your most memorable storyline and why?
There are so many, but arresting Corey for poisoning Irene was my first big storyline, so that one. And definitely the wedding, lots of love, explosions and fire. Whatever happened to the wedding cake?

What is your onscreen dad, Jon Sivewright, like?
He seems like a good bloke. Reminds me of a country boy – he’s a bit of an outback croc hunter kind of guy. He’s very supportive and always looks out for people. Big heart.

Is it annoying when your fans keep coming up to you?
No, it’s a part of the job. Sometimes it gets repetitive with the same questions but it’s nice when people say hi, and we have a normal conversation. It’s all good – I’d be upset if I didn’t have fans.

Do you get any say over what you wear on the show? Was it your idea to wear that lace around your neck?
No, I can't take credit for that. We have a group of fantastic wardrobe girls who decide what our characters wear, but they always make sure you feel comfortable in what you've got.

Do you have any brothers or sisters, or pets?
I have two sisters, both older than me. And at the moment I don't have any pets.

What are your favourite bands?
I have weird taste in music. I like pretty much everything except techno and girly pop. At the moment I'm really into Snow Patrol, Powderfinger, Atmosphere and The Herd.

Are all of your friends jealous that you've gotten to kiss the Home And Away hotties?
If they are, they'd never let on. No, I don't think so, because I tell them how weird it is kissing someone with all these cameras everywhere and people watching.

Are you single?
No.

Do you have a celebrity crush?
No. I used to, but real boys in the flesh are so much better.

How old are you?
I'm 19 and my birthday is October 24, 1987.

What movies have you been in apart from Aquamarine?
I was in Voodoo Lagoon with Beau Brady and Natalie Blair. It was great fun and such a massive learning experience for me. I've also done a few guest roles, but this is the biggest thing I've done so far.

Are you anything like your character, Geoff?
There are some similarities — the fact that I love footy and that Geoff and I both love our families more than anything. I really admire his sense of honesty and the fact that he believes there's good in everyone. As for differences, I'm a talkative person and I make a fool of myself pretty much every day, whereas Geoff is introverted and doesn't talk much.

What has been your best experience working on the show so far?
Pretty much walking on set every day is a highlight. Travelling to different locations, meeting new people, doing these interviews and hearing from fans — I just love it! It's all really cool.

The Home And Away star answers all your questions

I live in Mackay (Qld) and I read that you come from here, too. Do you miss it?
I moved to Sydney when I was about 10, so I think I’m really used to Sydney now. Whenever I go back it’s kind of weird because it’s so different from here.

Did you watch Home And Away before you joined the show?
Yeah! I pretty much grew up watching the show.

What was your school life like – was it good or bad?
I found high school hard at times. I guess it’s all part of growing up, though. Primary school was fun!

Did you play netball when you were a kid?
Yeah, I played reps for three years! I loved sport when I was younger. I played just about every sport except tackle footy – too rough!

Your teeth are perfect – did you have braces as a child?
Ha! They’re so not perfect! No, I didn’t have braces.

Who does Belle pick, Angelo or Aden??? I would be happy if she chose Angelo!!!

Keep a look out for Bernard Curry, playing new character Hugo, coming in the next few months. What will he get up to in the Bay? More importantly, who will he get together with?

Keep voting for Jodi Gordan on Dancing With The Stars. She was in the bottom two on Sunday so she needs your help. SMS Jodi to 19 19 77 or call 1902 55 77 15

Also, has anyone got any idea when Kirsty will be leaving the bay? I know Kane will be coming back for a while, not permanantly though, as Sam is one of the directors for Home And Away so I wonder if Kane will take Kirsty with him when he leaves?
