Nicholas Cartwright joined the Australian soap back in June 2021 and has been a part of some rivetting storylines, but what about his life away from the cameras
Actor Nicholas Cartwright is most recognized for his role as senior police officer Cash Newman on Channel 5’s Home and Away. Cash Newman moved to Summer Bay back in 2021. After making a big impression on viewers with his sharp-eyed investigative abilities and attractive appearance as Cash, Nicholas was quickly drawn into some suspenseful plots.
Since fans discovered about Cash’s horrific backstory, which included his father’s murder and being raised in foster care, Nicholas’s character has grown to be a beloved aspect of the show.
Although Nicholas’s real life isn’t quite as dramatic as his character’s, it appears acting runs in the family because his sister is a well-known soap opera actress.
The Daily Star looks at the lives of the Channel 5 soap opera star, from his time in the military to his relationship with his co-star. And throughout the years, he has accomplished very nothing!
Frontline Soldier
Nicholas spent six years serving as a rifleman in the Australian Army, where he was stationed in Afghanistan and East Timor, before joining the serial opera.
Nicholas told Perth Now that he felt compelled to make a change after quitting the Army and that he had to take up the hole left by the defense force. “After leaving the defense force, you can feel a little lost, and nobody wants to work in a regular job,” he disclosed.
“So I thought, what’s the craziest thing I can do and decided to go to NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art).” From then on, it was all upward from there.
Social media was soon ablaze with rumors of love sparks between Nicholas and co-star Sam Frost, who plays Jasmine, once he joined the program.
After pictures of the two getting close on the show surfaced online, viewers went to Twitter to discuss whether or not the two were dating. Sam swiftly refuted the rumors and said there was no relationship between the two.
She posted many images of the couple holding drinks and commented, “I mean, we’re pretty much the same person. I’m much funnier, though.” But when a fan inquired as to whether they were actually dating, Sam replied, “Nope… unfortunately for Nic.”
Soap Star Sister
In May last year, Nicholas revealed that his real-life sister Zara Zoe had joined the soap. The 33-year-old shared a series of behind-the-scenes snaps of himself and Zara.
He penned: “Not sure if y’all have seen the promo, but my beautiful lil sister will be joining us on @homeandaway this week!
“I’ve never had more fun on set. It was literally impossible to not look over at her and laugh with joy between takes. Such a wonderful moment to work with family in such a bizarre world. Welcome to the team @nottherealzarazoe! Tune in to see what we get up to.”
