😱 Former Home and Away Stars Reunite in Explosive New Blockbuster Film 🎬
Family secrets, buried betrayals, and shocking reunions collide in The Imposter, an intense new drama marking a major return to acting for former Home and Away star Danni Minogue. Set against the glamorous yet treacherous backdrop of a Melbourne hotel empire, this gripping story proves that blood ties can be far more dangerous than enemies.
At the heart of the series is the O’Reilly family, whose internal conflicts make ordinary family squabbles look harmless by comparison. Helen O’Reilly, portrayed by Australian TV icon Jackie Woodburn, is a formidable matriarch who runs a successful hotel alongside her three grown children. Cold, disciplined, and unwavering in her authority, Helen has built her life on control—until a figure from the past suddenly returns to disrupt everything.
That disruption arrives in the form of Amanda, Helen’s long-lost adopted daughter, who resurfaces without warning. Her reappearance instantly triggers suspicion among Helen’s other children, particularly Simon and Kate, who fear Amanda’s true motive is money. With the hotel potentially heading for sale, they worry she wants her slice of the inheritance—and they are willing to cross dangerous lines to stop her.
What follows is a chilling descent into manipulation, deceit, and even murder. As the siblings resort to increasingly ruthless schemes, the family’s polished image begins to crack, revealing corruption, resentment, and desperation beneath the surface.
Helen herself is not immune to the upheaval. Amanda’s return awakens a gentler, more vulnerable side of her that her children have rarely witnessed. Coupled with a serious health scare, Helen is forced to reexamine her choices, her relationships, and the legacy she intends to leave behind.
Amanda is played by Kim Marsh, who brings depth and complexity to the role. Resourceful and determined, Amanda has survived a difficult life and believes she is owed more than she’s been given. Her moral compass is flexible, and while she seeks belonging, she is not afraid to manipulate situations—or people—to secure her future. Her presence alone destabilizes the entire family dynamic.
In a twist that thrilled longtime fans, Danni Minogue also appears in the series, marking her first acting role since leaving Home and Away in 1990. Her involvement adds a nostalgic layer to the show while reinforcing its star power. Once a pop sensation and now a celebrated TV presenter, Minogue’s return to scripted drama feels both surprising and significant.
Among Helen’s children, Simon, played by Don Hany, is a man spiraling out of control. His past infidelity destroyed his marriage and severed his relationship with his teenage son. When Amanda enters the picture, Simon’s unresolved guilt and greed resurface, pushing him toward reckless decisions that only deepen his isolation.
Kate, portrayed by Jane Harber, is the emotional backbone of the family. Honest to a fault and burdened by responsibility, she feels trapped between loyalty to her mother and her own crumbling marriage. As tensions escalate, Kate struggles to maintain her integrity in a family increasingly driven by fear and selfish ambition.
Adding further intrigue is Todd, Kate’s husband, played by former Home and Away actor Charlie Clausen. On the surface, Todd is charming and successful, but cracks begin to show as the family drama intensifies. His polished lifestyle masks uncomfortable truths that threaten to unravel his marriage.
