Cohen still can’t stay with Roo… Child actor reveals shocking secret
In a jaw-dropping twist that has fans of Home and Away buzzing with speculation, young actor Luke Barron – who plays the troubled Cohen – has finally broken his silence about the controversial on-screen tension between his character and beloved Summer Bay icon Roo Stewart. But it’s not just about the storyline… Luke’s confession hints at something far more unsettling behind the scenes.
For months now, viewers have been perplexed by Cohen’s strange and skittish behaviour around Roo (played by Georgie Parker), despite her character’s trademark compassion and relentless attempts to help the boy rebuild his life. While many chalked it up to clever writing, others began to wonder: why does Cohen – both the character and the actor – seem so uneasy in these scenes?
Now, in an exclusive interview that has shocked longtime fans and insiders alike, Luke has revealed a chilling detail: “I was told not to get too comfortable with Roo.” He claims the directive came from someone within production, hinting at an internal drama that even the most seasoned cast members weren’t fully aware of.
“I love working on the show,” Luke explained, his voice shaking slightly, “but something about those scenes… it never felt right. And then I overheard things on set – things I probably wasn’t supposed to hear.”
The young actor stopped short of naming names, but sources close to Home and Away confirm that tension has been brewing in recent weeks among the creative team. “There’s a push to make Roo’s character darker,” one insider says. “Not evil, but… more complicated. And not everyone agrees on how that should look.”
Could it be that Cohen’s distance from Roo is actually a veiled plot shift? Or is something more sinister at play behind the cameras?
Adding to the mystery, fans have pointed out several strange edits in recent episodes. Some scenes between Roo and Cohen appear abruptly cut, with awkward transitions and unexplained jumps in dialogue. One fan posted a side-by-side comparison of script leaks and aired footage – revealing entire lines removed without explanation.
Georgie Parker, known for her poise and professionalism, has not publicly commented on Luke’s statement. Her social media, usually upbeat, has remained oddly silent over the past two weeks. One cryptic post from her account simply read, “Sometimes silence says it all.”
Meanwhile, viewers are flooding online forums with theories: Is Cohen hiding a past connection to Roo? Will his character expose a dark secret that changes everything in Summer Bay? Or has Luke Barron unintentionally uncovered a rift between cast and crew that the show has tried desperately to keep under wraps?
One thing’s certain – this is no ordinary teen drama. As Home and Away marches toward its milestone anniversary, the line between fiction and reality is becoming increasingly blurred… and fans are hooked.
Stay tuned – because if this is just the beginning, what comes next could blow Summer Bay wide open.
