Earlier this week, it was confirmed that newcomer Hailey Pinto has joined Home and Away as Eden and Levi‘s sister Abigail Fowler.
Abigail has a complex and poignant backstory, with Pinto promising lots of drama for her “sassy” character.
“My character is Abigail Fowler, I can’t say too much, but she’s the youngest of the Fowler siblings, and she’s very sassy and headstrong, very energetic,” Pinto said (via 7News).

“She comes to the bay with a lot of her own personal demons she has to fight, and she definitely brings a lot of drama.”
Speaking about Stephanie Panozzo and Tristan Gorey, who play Abigail’s siblings, Eden and Levi, Pinto said she already has a great working relationship with them.
She added: “I absolutely love my siblings (on the show), Levi and Eden, I’ve been able to work with them a lot. I have so much love for them already.”

The soap has confirmed that Pinto will arrive on-screen later this year and Abigail’s backstory will slowly be rolled out as viewers discover her past struggles.
Meanwhile, Eden and Levi’s relationship continues to be strained following Levi leaving his wife for Summer Bay resident Mackenzie Booth.
