There’s nothing like a reunion of former co-stars from Home and Away to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
When Sarah Roberts and Zoe Ventoura got together for some girl time on Friday, they offered us some old-school Summer Bay nostalgia.
Sarah, who portrayed Willow Harris on the drama until April 2021, uploaded a romantic photo of herself and Zoe, who previously played her on-screen lover Alex Neilson, sharing a few drinks.
Sarah captioned the photo, “My Zo Zo,” which sparked a frenzy among Home and Away supporters.
“Our Willex loving heart! ❤” exclaimed one viewer, while another added, “A lovely friendship created on the back of a great love storey… which probably wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for you @sarahroberts fighting for the tale ❤️”
Sarah said last year that she presented the concept of Alex’s return to the show’s producers before quitting her three-year involvement on the serial.
“I wanted people who aren’t generally represented on television to be represented,” Sarah told Stuff. “And then when fans told us what a terrific job we were doing, [Zoe and I] were just so thrilled.”
“We never expected such a positive response.” When it comes to love, [Willow] has had a tough time, but so has everyone else in the Bay. You marry in the morning and get divorced in the evening, right?
Following a brief on-screen romance with Willow, Zoe’s character Alex bid goodbye to Summer Bay in March 2020.
Producers and fans were lauded by the actress for bringing one of the show’s most notable same-sex romances to life.
“I was well aware of the significance of this subject for the LGBTQ community. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of it. I’m hoping it will lead to additional possibilities and acceptance “At the time of her departure, she said.
“Reading all of the notes from our newfound followers makes me cry. We notice you, and we appreciate your help.”
