Home and Away Favourite Set For New Love Interest

Home and Away's Roo Stewart is to gain a new love interest when Doctor James Edmunds arrives in Summer Bay. Romance rarely runs smoothly in soap land and true to form, James has a "complicated history". Interestingly, Myles Pollard who plays James, had a minor role in the soap back in 2007 when he appeared as Dane Jordans for a few episodes. James is to join Home and Away this week Speaking about his new role to The Western Australian, Myles said: "The interesting thing is that the character I played before wasn't as significant, so playing James is more of a challenge because he's integral to Roo's storyline. "He's an intelligent character and really cares for Roo and her family. He really values that relationship. "He's more of a protagonist too, so he's driving the story more than the other character I played. It's more responsibility, which is nice". We wonder what Roo's dad Alf will think of James?! Although his arrival will be screened on Australian TV this week, Irish viewers will have to wait until September to see the romance unfold between him and Roo.
