Angelo Rosetta

Angelo Rosetta is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera Home and Away, played by Luke Jacobz.

He has been central to many notable storylines including shooting dead Jack Holden (Paul O'Brien), his time working as a sergeant of Summer Bay's police force and his relationship with Charlie Buckton (Esther Anderson).

Actor Luke Jacobz joined the cast of Home and Away in June 2008, following the cancellation of McLeod's Daughters, with which he had a recurring role.

[2] He had recently relocated from South Australia to Sydney to sign up to work as a labourer when he received the offer to play Angelo.

[4] Angelo has been portrayed as having a very confident manner, during an interview with Yahoo!7 Jacobz describes his characters stating: "He's a cheeky cop.

Jacobz told an Inside Soap columnist that Angelo has been consumed with guilt since the shooting, and he has no doubts that he killed Jack.

Charlie is forced to tell Jack's widow Martha MacKenzie (Jodi Gordon) the news, and Jacobz said that she is "distressed" and does not want Angelo to go free because of a technicality.

[7] Jacobz told Jason Herbison of Inside Soap that Angelo left the Bay as the most hated man in town, so no one is pleased to see him back.

[9] Angelo now works for Marine Area Command and is trying to find a shark who has attacked and killed a person, after a severed hand washes up on the beach.

[9] Angelo apologises to Jack's father Tony Holden (Jon Sivewright) for his return and assures him that he will be leaving as soon as the case is solved.

[9] Producers introduced the character's younger brother Paulie Rosetta (Ryan Johnson) in August 2010, leading to further exploration of Angelo's fictional backstory.

[10] Speaking with Carolyn Stewart of TV Week, Johnson said Paulie "has always been the starry-eyed dreamer in the family" and his "desire to think big" has often landed him in trouble.

[11] It later emerges that the reason for the brothers' bad relationship was an accident in which Paulie's set fire to their parents' restaurant.

"[15] Angelo finds Heath and his friends tending to a large drugs crop, so he calls Charlie and leaves a message telling her what is going on.

[16] Peacocke said that his character really dislikes being brought into the situation, but as his brother is involved, Brax feels like "he's the one who has to clean up the mess.

Of what happens, Peacocke explained "Brax is worried that Angelo will spill the beans and implicate Heath as well as Brodie.

"[16] Following this, Brodie gets himself transferred to the hospital where he takes Nicole Franklin (Tessa James) hostage and tries to escape the Bay with Brax's help.

"[17] The following month Jacobz revealed that it was not his decision to leave Home and Away and that the show's bosses decided to write his character out as they felt he had "nowhere else to go.

It was really that the character had reached all the different goals that the show wanted him to, and it worked out really well with storylines having the River Boys come in so that Angelo could go.

I think Cameron Welsh was the EP of Home & Away and he said, 'You need to ring (programming boss) Tim Worner.'

[19] Of his return Jacobz stated "I'm so excited that my first scene back is with Ray Meagher who plays Alf Stewart!

[21] Angelo replaces Jack Holden at Yabbie Creek Police Station when he takes time off to deal with Martha MacKenzie's cancer diagnosis.

He then turns his attention to Belle Taylor (Jessica Tovey) who refuses at first but only goes out with Angelo to make her boyfriend Aden Jefferies (Todd Lasance) jealous.

The first test in the relationship is when Angelo is forced to arrest Belle when she protests at a development site but convinces Charlie to drop the charges.

However, he returns several months later under a special investigation into people smuggling as part of the Marine Area Command division of the police.

Angelo's younger brother Paulie Rosetta is mistaken as a food critic by Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) and Colleen Smart (Lyn Collingwood).

When Angelo discovers a large marijuana crop being harvested in the forest, he calls Charlie to let her know, before being knocked out by Heath Braxton.

Angelo and Nicole later meet up with Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons) in the city when she comes to visit George.

Angelo returns to Summer Bay nine years later, having rejoined the police force as a detective, to investigate the murder of Ross Nixon (Justin Rosniak).

He questions and interviews Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin) about the day Ross took his sister Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller), his wife Chelsea Campbell (Ashleigh Brewer) and friend Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts) hostage.

Angelo shoots and kills Jack Holden, played by Paul O'Brien ( pictured ), leading to him being dubbed "Summer Bay's most hated citizen". [ 7 ]
