Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart have reportedly failed to get the tick of approval on their new romance from their Home and Away co-stars.
The lovebirds have been spotted flirting on-set of their Channel Seven soap where they portray on-screen married couple Justin Morgan and Leah Patterson-Baker.
However, it’s been revealed by insiders that Ada, 47, and James’, 48, affections have not been taken kindly by everyone in the cast, reported Woman’s Day on Monday
A source close to the actress allegedly told the publication stars Lynne McGranger, Ray Meagher and Emily Symone are all ‘keeping an eye’ on Ada.
‘Most people are just worried about Ada. Ray and Lynne aren’t the kind of people to get involved in someone else’s business and will be keeping their heads down, but they will have raised their concerns with her,’ the insider said. Â

They went on to add that the TV actress has ‘done a complete 180’ on her opinion of James following his failed relationships with former co-stars Isabella Giovinazzo and Sarah Roberts.
The father-of-one appears to have a habit of getting romantically involved with his on-screen partners, with the hunk striking up a romance with Isabella in 2016, after the couple began playing an on-screen couple, but things fizzled in 2017.
Just over a month after their split, James was rumoured to have already moved on with his now ex-wife Sarah, who was a newcomer to the series at the time, with the couple also becoming on-screen partners not long after.
Both Isabella and Sarah left Home and Away after their respective breakups with James, who shares daughter Scout, 12, with ex Jessica Marais.
‘[Ada is] insisting to everyone he’s not the guy she thought he once was and that he’s really changed,’ the insider said.

They went on to say that Ada and James’ ex-wife Sarah, who officially announced their divorce last month, ‘were really good friends’ and even ‘shared a dressing room’ when they starred in Home and Away together – adding to their surprise over the veteran actress’ about-face.
It comes after Ada and James were spotted getting frisky as they filmed some Home and Away scenes by the sea in Sydney last Wednesday.
When the lovebirds stopped for a break, the couple got up close and personal, looking loved up as they enjoyed the time out together.
James was seen placing his hand on Ada’s waist to make sure she didn’t slip on the wet grass on location, with the pair clearly not shy about playing lovers on and off the screen.
The couple have been frequently spotted packing on the PDA of late with the pair first seen kissing each other during Anzac Day, and more recently displaying their affection at a cinema.
Ada was married to Chrys Xipolitas for nine years. They reportedly split briefly in 2010 before reconciling and welcoming a son, Johnas, 11, in August 2012.
She went on to date businessman Adam Rigby for eight years before their split in late 2023.
Meanwhile, James and Sarah got engaged in 2018 and wed in 2019, but confirmed their divorce to Stellar last month after two years of battling rumours they had split.
