Joyner will play Alison, whose life is disrupted when her Australian husband vanishes after a morning surf.
It’s unclear whether he was caught up in a dangerous riptide, or whether there’s more to his disappearance than meets the eye as this intriguing mystery plays out.
Turland also addressed his final performance as Hendrix Grayson, who tragically died on the soap after battling with pulmonary fibrosis.
The actor revealed the positive response he had to his emotional exit from the soap and said “It was so beautiful.”
“I’ve had a lot of messages from people – I had a family member who was recently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, and I have other relatives who’ve had friends pass away from it. They said it was a pretty accurate story of someone with that condition. Just hearing that was enough.”
neighbors has now come to an end, but catch-up episodes are available via My 5 (UK) and 10 Play (Australia).
