The actor, musician, and writer Peter Phelps is a newbie to the popular Australian drama Home and Away, playing Gary Morrow.
However, this is not his first time appearing in the adored drama in his new role.
Peter really started working on H&A in 2008 in a behind-the-scenes capacity. In 2012, he appeared on screen as Alan Henderson, and towards the end of 2016, he made a comeback as a completely different character.
The Sydney-born hottie, who rose to popularity in Baywatch, plays Gary, the foster father of Cash and Felicity Newman, in the serial opera.
Peter began his career as a heartthrob in Baywatch, but outside of his role on Home and Away, he has been duped out of money.
First and current Home & Away roles
In fact, Peter started working on Home and Away in 2008 when he took the helm of 20 episodes of the cherished serial drama.
But in 2012, he transitioned from being a behind-the-scenes actor to appearing on television as Alan Henderson, a supporting role.
He was the on-screen father of Stu Henderson, who was portrayed by Brenton Thwaites, while he was playing the part of Alan.
Then, in 2022, he made a comeback to the show in the role of Gary Morrow, a close friend of the Newmans—the biological parents of Felicity and Cash—along with his late wife Katherine.
Baywatch fame
Peter played the part of Trevor Cole on the popular Baywatch television series, where he first debuted as a haughty and conceited clubhouse lifeguard.
His then-girlfriend was left battling for her life during one of his boat parties in the series, which made him realize how little he knew about saving lives.
When Trevor first debuted in the drama series, he enrolled in the Baywatch Rookie School, and when he finished the program with flying colors, he atoned for his past.
While on the hot show with Pamela Anderson, Peter’s character appeared to be developing feelings for another person.
A relationship with Jill Riley appeared to be taking off, but Peter departed the program after Jill perished in a shark attack.
Being the first male Australian Baywatch lifeguard to appear on television, Peter’s character made history.
Conned out of cash and financial ruin
Peter declared on Facebook in May 2015 that the future of his children and his property were “gone.”
Peter was said to have lost more than $400,000 AUD (£230,000) eight years ago after becoming a victim of investment adviser Brad Sherwin.
After making investments with Brad’s company Wickham Securities, some 300 self-funded retirees reportedly lost up to $27 million AUD (£15.5 million) in 2015, according to Fairfax.
Peter vented about his financial loss on Facebook. He wrote: “Brad Sherwin, a bankrupt “financial adviser,” took superannuation.
“Was real estate investing great, and the c*** lies to us.
“future of kids. Farm. Gone, “He came to a defeated conclusion.
