Because the things that are really at its heart are things like a son wanting his mother's love and the mother who just cannot afford to give it because her whole world might fall apart."

Bad cop to good cop: Jeremy Lindsay Taylor returns to Home And Away. And he's playing a copper AGAIN!
He was last seen in Summer Bay in 2016, playing corrupt cop Dylan Carter. Now, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor is returning to Home And Away, but this time he's playing a different character altogether — and he's on the right side of the law. Taylor joins as a regular cast member in episodes airing from May 28, playing Sergeant David Langham, the new sergeant at Yabbie Creek police station. His character is actually the estranged father of Lacey Miller (Sophea Pennington), who has been 'missing' for six months. He arrives in town with his other daughter, Jo, played by Maddison Brown, who will join him on-screen in the weeks to come. 'The three of them are all dealing with trauma, and trying to reconnect, but it's not going really well,' Taylor says of the strained family dynamic. 'Meanwhile, David is trying to find his way with the character of Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright), who has had a bit of a shady career, shall we say.' After nearly six months keeping the role under wraps, Taylor, who is based on New South Wales' South Coast, said he is thrilled to finally be able to speak about his return to the long-running series. 'It's been a whirlwind,' he said. 'It's very, very exciting. 'It's been a busy six months, and now (my episodes) are just about to come on air.' Taylor is no stranger to playing men in uniform, having been cast as police officers a handful of times over his more than two decades on screen, most recently in Seven's The Claremont Murders miniseries. 'I've played at least five or six cops in my career,' he said. 'But (Langham) is definitely my favourite. 'He's very by-the-book — they need that in Summer Bay!' It's a sentiment shared by Taylor's own mother.: 'Mum started watching the show when I got the job at the end of last year, and she's constantly texting me and saying, 'Hurry up and get to the Bay, Sarge — they need you! It's a hornet's nest of crime!'' he said. Taylor, who first found fame on the popular 90s series Heartbreak High (his new Home And Away co-star Ada Nicodemou also famously got her start on that show as well, though their time didn't overlap), said he is enjoying being back on set, meeting the new cast and reconnecting with some familiar faces. 'It's such a great, young cast, and the older cast is full of legends,' he said. 'The first scene I shot was at the coffee cart at Palm Beach, and it was with Irene (Lynne McGranger), Alf (Ray Meagher) and Leah (Nicodemou). 'That was one of those pinch me moments, to be like, 'Wow!' It made me really happy.' Away from the Bay, Taylor has also been developing his directing career, with two feature films, a mini-series, and a short film in the works. Despite his busy schedule, he's grateful for this new chapter in Summer Bay. 'It's an important show. It's about family, real life — I'm loving it,' he said. As Sergeant Langham steps into Summer Bay, fans can expect drama, emotion, and a much-needed moral compass. One thing's for sure — Taylor's return to the Bay is set to make waves.
