Home and Away star Jason Smith welcomes baby girl with his wife Cassidy - and reveals her adorable name
Home and Away star Jason Smith and his wife Cassidy have welcomed a baby girl into this world. The veteran actor, 40, shared a photo to social media on Friday of his newborn daughter resting peacefully in her mother's arms, and captioned it with some heartfelt words. 'So excited to introduce our beautiful daughter and Felix's baby sister, Luka. 24.04.25. So proud of our family,' Jason wrote. The pair are also the proud parents to one-year-old Felix, who they welcomed in October 2023. Many of Jason's followers quickly took to the comment section to congratulate him on the joyful news. 'I'm so happy for you!' one person wrote and a second added: 'Congratulations. Only she can say my dad is a Power Ranger.' Jason appeared as Robbie Hunter on the long-running Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away from 2003 - 2006. He later starred as the Red Ranger on the New Zealand-filmed children's action series Power Rangers Jungle Fury and in The Mystery of Natalie Wood, opposite Colin Friels. He famously played Robbie Hunter on Home and Away from 2003 to 2006, alongside the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Isabel Lucas. But he is no longer acting these days, and instead has a successful career behind the scenes in Australia and the United States. The 40-year-old was most recently the associate producer of Channel 10's zany reality show The Masked Singer Australia. Smith also served as a producer for the American music quiz show Name That Tune. Name That Tune aired on Fox in the U.S., but was filmed in Sydney in late 2020 due to Australia's comparatively lax Covid restrictions at the time. It was hosted by 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski and American Idol judge Randy Jackson. Smith's work also includes writing credits for Power Rangers Megaforce, and his old soap Home and Away from 2012 to 2013. In 2019, he hosted Home and Away's Christmas in Summer Bay TV special. That role was accompanied by a podcast series, which he also presented, featuring interviews with cast members. At about this time, he was asked on The Morning Show if he would consider ever returning to Summer Bay. 'If Robbie's evil twin brother Bobby wants to come back, I'm in,' he said. 'If the right storyline comes along, I'd love to come back.' 'Coming back to the show and walking through those doors of the Summer Bay house for the first episode gave me all the feels. It felt like I never left,' he added, referring to filming the TV special. In addition to his television work, Smith hosted Nova FM's Late Nights show for a year in 2016.

Gets Real: Emerald City ‘heroes' offer helping hand to Seattleites
On the streets of Seattle, there is a group of real-life superheroes. Red Ranger and his fellow members of ECHO, or the Emerald City Heroes Organization, have been patrolling the area for almost ten years. As of Spring 2025, ECHO is nine members strong: Red Ranger, Black Rose, Ms. Gievous, Justin Service, El Caballero, Evocatus, Girl Scout, Sky Man, and Iron Baron. 'We like to patrol every neighborhood in our city and surrounding areas, trying to stop people from being victims of crime and trying to help people that we see in need of help,' Red Ranger told KIRO 7. 'Whether that be homeless people that we may find, if someone needs medical attention, we are there to help with that, or if someone finds themselves in danger we will try to intervene and get them to safety'. Mixing compassion with muscle, ECHO can often be found delivering care packages to Seattle's street people or organizing toy drives. Red Ranger says ECHO may draw some laughter about their costumes, but dressing like a superhero also serves as a bridge. 'Sometimes people are really shocked, and say, 'Whoa, Halloween was in October,'' he told KIRO 7. 'Once we introduce ourselves, they kind of understand what's going on. Because of the internet, a lot of people know who we are these days because we've kind of been around doing this for a little while.' Red Ranger told KIRO 7 that his favorite interactions are the ones with familiar faces whom they've helped before. 'They say, 'OMG, it's Red Ranger, good to see you again.' But no matter what reaction we get from people, we just want people to know that we are here to help and we're going do our best to keep doing it'. Red Ranger's catchphrase is, 'Stay Safe, Seattle!' You will hear him say that on his numerous Instagram posts, where he, Justin Service, and the ECHO team chronicle their exploits. The Red Ranger told KIRO 7 he was a nursing student treating victims of violence in the ER when he decided he had to do more to help. That's when he started his mission to prevent harm to those on the streets of Seattle.
