"His character, Logan, will arrive in Erinsborough in the coming weeks, but what's his reason for showing up in town? And who does Logan have a mysterious connection to on Ramsay Street?"

Meanwhile, a show trailer released earlier this month suggested that Logan will form a romantic connection with Aaron Brennan following the death of Aaron's husband David Tanaka.

Matthew teased to a fan on Instagram that while Ramsay Street "did welcome me with open arms", there was "a fair bit of suspicion" towards his character.

David actor Takaya Honda previously expressed a desire to see Aaron find love again.

"David loves Aaron too much to want Aaron to live the rest of his life lonely and sad because David's died […] He absolutely wants Aaron to move on," he told Digital Spy.

"I don't know how quickly Aaron should move on, but it is Neighbours so it could be a week or two – I don't know!"
