Home and Away introduces a new character for Justin story
Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers.
Home and Away's UK fans get their first glimpse of an intriguing new character next week.
Upcoming scenes on Channel 5 see young actor Joshua Hewson make his first appearance as Andrew Lawrence, a troubled teenager who's welcomed in by Justin Morgan and Leah Patterson.
Andrew has been appearing on Australian screens recently, but Channel 5's broadcasts are nearly two months behind at the moment.
The storyline begins when Justin is carrying out a house clearance as part of his community service duties.

While Justin is distracted by the work, someone from a nearby house slips a note into his backpack, asking for help.
When Justin later investigates the note, he's concerned to find a semi-conscious teenager – Andrew – on the floor of the house.
Justin calls an ambulance for Andrew and stays by his side at the hospital, feeling responsible for the boy as he doesn't seem to have anyone else.
Andrew is clearly terrified at the hospital, as he refuses to answer questions and seems apprehensive about receiving medical treatment, despite being severely dehydrated and undernourished.

The only person that Andrew will respond to is Justin, who manages to get some vague answers.
Andrew confirms his name and that he's 17 years old, but he reveals that he doesn't know his birthday and isn't usually allowed outside. He also panics at the mention of the police being called.
A psychologist's assessment of Andrew later reports that he has the social and emotional skills of a 9-year-old.
Local doctor Bree Cameron later rules that there's no need to keep Andrew in hospital, but as there was nobody at the house where he was found, it's unclear where he'll go now.
Justin immediately declares that Andrew can come to stay with him and he gets Leah's blessing over this caring gesture. But with so many unanswered questions, have Justin and Leah invited trouble into their home?
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video in the UK.
