Actor Aaron Jeffery began filming a two-month guest role on Neighbours this week.
Jeffery, who only just recently wrapped on Underbelly: Badness on Friday, will play a hardened journalist who takes on the deputy editor’s role at the Erinsborough News, but looks set to make his own headlines.
“The character is a mix of Peter Pan and Ernest Hemingway,” said Jeffery. “Very different from the role I’ve just finished which is great, I love the variety.
“First day on location I think it barely nudged six degrees but at least I wasn’t out in the open riding a horse all day,” joked the former McLeod’s Daughters star. “My character is more office bound thank God.”
His former McLeod’s co-star Simmone Jade Mackinnon has also recently finished work on the ELEVEN soap, just missing out on a reunion for the pair.
His appearances will air in September and in the UK in October.
Neighbours also recently confirmed the return of Bob Morley as nurse Aidan Foster, the love interest for Chris Pappas played by James Mason.

Neighbours is the new home for all ex-McLeods actors out of work it seems! Bridie Carter next perhaps?
Not complaining at all, because Brett Tucker, Simone and now Aaron are all great actors and should be in work.
Neighbours have been attracting more and more big name actors lately.
So far I am liking Simmone MacKinnon, I haven’t seen her in anything before (never watched McLeods). Pity that she was only in for a guest role.
I was wondering if Bob Morley would come back, as they left his character within the realms of the hospital and Erinsborough, yet there is no explanation of why we don’t hear or see of him just because the relationship with Chris ended.
