Bernard Curry in Home and Away

Bernard Curry, who played Nate Lee in the final few weeks of Out of the Blue, is now playing the character of Hugo Austin in episodes of Home and Away currently airing in Australia. He made his debut in Episode 4777, which is six episodes into the 2009 season.

The 2009 season of Home and Away starts airing on Monday February 2 in the UK, so if our calculations are correct, he'll be on screen in the UK by Tuesday February 10.

In an Australian TV interview, Bernard has confirmed that his character will be on the show for at least a year, so - in the event that a second series of Out of the Blue is commissioned - he would presumably not be returning.

Don't forget that Aidan Gillett, better known as bad boy Daniel McManus, is also appearing on Home and Away soon, but we don't have any firm details yet. It'll be interesting to see if Bernard and Aidan's characters interact much after Nate and Daniel didn't have much to do with each other on Out of the Blue.
