It has been hinted that they're hoping people will treat them differently in Summer Bay, but why are they so keen to bury their past and look to the future?
Actor Rob Kipa-Williams, who joins the Bay as Ari Parata, has revealed: "We feel so honoured to join the Home and Away family. From extremely talented cast and crew to our incredible locations, Summer Bay is the place to be. We can't wait for our UK fans to meet the Paratas in 2020."
