SUMMER BAY'S RESIDENT LOVEBIRDS INVITE NEW IDEA INTO THEIR HOME TO SHARE SOME EXCITING PLANS

- Kylie Walters

 

Two things greet New Idea at the front door of the home Paddy O’Connor shares with Sophie Dillman in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs – lots of laughter and some kisses from their pooch, Winnie.

“You’ll have to meet the most important member of the household first,” Paddy says with a chuckle as he reaches down to scratch and pat the 2-yearold cavoodle.

Knowing each other first as teenage friends growing up in Queensland, Paddy and Sophie reconnected as adults on the set of Home and Away, where they play couple Dean and Ziggy. Romance quickly spilled off-screen.

Now, with their characters involved in a major storyline that sees them about to welcome a child together, Sophie and Paddy reveal that life could be imitating art again pretty soon.
