Guest Character Profiles > Owen Campbell Johnny Ruffo

As she plotted to escape prison and be reunited with her baby son, Hugo, Andrea Somers befriended prison officer Owen Campbell, realising that she could use him to her advantage. After seducing Owen, she asked him to befriend her identical twin sister, Dee, who was at the prison to visit their mother, Heather Schilling. Owen mentioned a gardening programme that the prison was using to help inmates, and that Dee's next visit with her mother could be in the gardens, if she was interested. Andrea was delighted when Owen reported back to her that the plan had worked, and that Heather had been approved for a garden visit with Dee. Andrea thanked Owen with a passionate kiss and, as the visit between Heather and Dee in the garden went well the following day, Owen encouraged Dee to book in another visit for that Friday, especially that the programme was popular and slots tended to fill up quickly. Later, Owen reported back to Andrea that things were going well and, on Friday, they would be able to put their full plan into action.

When Friday came, as Dee waited in the garden for her next visit, Owen planted a shard of plastic on another prisoner, Elise Heany, then called for a contraband check. When he found the shard, he put the wing into lockdown, before going to tell Dee what had happened and instructing her to wait there. He then handed her a bottle of water, which she drank, causing her to pass out. Andrea then grabbed her opportunity, switching her clothes with Dee's and making her escape from the prison. Heather quickly raised the alarm after finding Dee passed out, immediately knowing that it wasn't Andrea and eventually convincing the guards that Andrea had escaped. Andrea, meanwhile, masquerading as Dee, collected Hugo and disappeared, later meeting up with Owen, who helped her by giving her a phone and getting her some hair dye to change her appearance. However, as Owen started telling Andrea that he loved her and that now they could be together, he realised by her lack of enthusiasm that she'd just been using him. When she returned from giving Hugo a bath, she found that Owen had gone and taken her money with him. Owen then called Toadie, Hugo's father, and told him where to find Andrea and Hugo, but by the time Toadie and Dee got to the abandoned house, there was no sign of them.
