Hands up all those who thought people in reality dating TV shows were actually interested in romance and not as a springboard to a media career?
Former Bachelorette and radio presenter Sam Frost is now joining the cast of Home and Away.
“Home and Away is a show I grew up watching with my family,” said Frost. “To become part of this iconic television show is a real honour, I can’t wait to start shooting,” she adds.
Julie McGauran, Seven’s Head of Drama said: “Sam exudes a genuine warmth and kindness. Her natural ease in front of the camera makes her a wonderful addition to the Home and Away family.”
Her first scenes will premiere later this year.
Frost, whose radio show with Rove McManus was recently axed, is also set to also appear in Seven’s upcoming Hell’s Kitchen Australia.

She has a great on screen presence. I think she’ll be great.
If she actually went for a audition I really don’t have a issue with this …..
I have no problem with Sam, but I can’t help but think of the out of work actors out there who have toiled at their trade for years, picked up a bit part here and there, and in the mean time doing crappy jobs just to make ends meet hoping to get that big break, audition for this role and then see Sam Frost has been cast in it.
She has just come out of a 250k a year radio job, a stint in Hells Kitchen and now Home and Away…. Seems to be addicted to fame a bit…
addicted to fame……isn’t that anyone who wants to be in a show/tv series?
Maybe this was a sweetener in her contract to get her to do Hell’s Kitchen.
I agree that Sam has been popping up everywhere recently, but i reckon she might surprise us all with her acting abilities and she did have to go through the same audition process as someone else. At least she is better than Heinrich & Robards who tirelessly seek for new products to promote on Instagram or some other Bachelor/rette contestants who organise paps to ‘catch’ them enjoying coffee in double bay!!!!
Home & Away has been struggling a bit in the ratings since the Braxton storyline ended so many she is just want the show needs to bring in a new audience and boost the numbers!
Where did you read/hear that she auditioned?
It was on the article on news.com.au. She had been encouraged to audition following her stint on Hells Kitchen but had to go through the same process as everyone else. She even said that she was so happy when she got the call that her audition was successful!
There is a well trained and hard working actor out there sitting on the sidelines because of this stunt casting.
I really dislike stunt casting unless they’re a guest in on episode.
was going to make the same comment its like why train to be a chef when all you have to do is go on a reality cooking show
I like Sam. She didn’t seem to suit radio but I reckon she could fit in well in Summer Bay.
I’m wondering if she will be a recast Martha Mackenzie since her character has been brought up recently and Jodie Anasta is now on Neighbours.
They would have to soapify that storyline. From what I remember if Martha or Hugo came back to Australia they would be straight to prison.
