Earlier this year, Luke announced his return to Home and Away, almost a decade after leaving the show in June 2011.

He told The Sunday Telegraph that that Channel Seven producers contacted him in January asking him to reprise his role.

‘[Channel Seven executives] called me in and said, “how do you feel about Angelo coming back to the bay?” said the actor.

‘I said ”very good” – and almost straight away it was, ”okay, let’s get a haircut, a wardrobe fitting and look at some scripts,” he enthused.
