Annabelle admits that she almost missed out on the coveted Home and Away role, after her first audition tape didn’t quite go to plan.
But she had better luck once she returned to Australia and eventually landed the gig.
In the meantime, fans are thrilled to see her soon-to-be TV hubby, Luke Jacobz, return to Summer Bay.
The actor is reprising his role as police officer Angelo Rosetta, who returns to the Bay to look into the murder of Ross Nixon, Bella’s father.
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.

Since leaving Summer Bay, the Logie award-winning actor has stayed busy with a number of high-profile hosting gigs, including The X-Factor and Instant Hotel.
He also danced his way into Australia’s hearts as the winner of the 2008 season of Dancing With The Stars and did a stint in the jungle on I’m a Celebrity… in 2019.
Most recently he hosted The Proposal, but the show failed to win over audiences.
