same for them. Best agreed saying "We had so much fun filming their first date. It was really special. I think a lot of people are going to fall in love with Romeo all over again after watching it." The actress promised viewers would enjoy her character's return, though she did not say how long she would be back for. She added that the storyline between Annie and Romeo would be very funny and intensely romantic to keep the audience on their toes. Storylines Annie and her brother Geoff find Martha MacKenzie (Jodi Gordon) camped out in the paddock on their farm and they give her a lift back to Summer Bay. Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) enquires about Annie's schooling and Bruce tells her Annie is being home schooled, but it soon becomes apparent that Bruce is lying.

After falling asleep due to farm work and study one day, Annie crashes out on Lucas' bed and is found by Bruce who assumes the worst and drags her home. Belle Taylor (Jessica Tovey) notices Annie has a crush on Lucas and mentions to her that Lucas lost his virginity to her; which horrifies Annie. Matters are made worse when Belle gives her a teen magazine with a sealed sex and relationships section, which Bruce mistakes for pornography.
