Home and Away spoilers: WHO is the mystery fella Ziggy Astoni kisses?

Home and Away, Ziggy Astoni

Uh-oh, that didn't take long. Mistakenly thinking ex-boyfriend Dean has already moved on, Ziggy decides to do the same on Home and Away!

Ziggy Astoni (played by Sophie Dillman) is planning to party hard with her new race crew friends on Home and Away (1:15pm/6:00pm on Channel 5, see our TV Guide for full listings) after calling her ex-boyfriend Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor), only for a mystery woman to answer his phone.

Ziggy wrongly assumes Dean has already moved on with another woman. So she decides two can play at that game!

As the car park party ramps up, Ziggy catches the eye of party boy, Joe (Frazer Lee).

Later that night, alone in her motel room, Ziggy answers a knock at the door. It's Joe.

Before long, the pair are kissing! How far will Ziggy go to forget Dean? When all the while, he is still pining for her back in Summer Bay.
