BREAKING NEWS: Sam Frost reveals surprising new career move as she teams up with fellow Home and Away star Sarah Roberts
In a move that has delighted longtime fans of Home and Away, former co-stars Sam Frost and Sarah Roberts have reunited in an unexpected way — and this time,
it’s far beyond the sands of Summer Bay. The beloved television duo has announced an exciting new chapter in their careers, revealing they are launching a brand-new podcast together
that promises honesty, humor, and heartfelt reflection. The podcast, titled “Cracking On,” marks a major shift for Frost as she steps into the world of podcasting and storytelling
after years in front of the camera. Known for her breakout role as Jasmine Delaney on the iconic Australian soap, Frost’s latest venture suggests she’s ready to open up about life’s highs and lows in a more personal format — and she’s bringing a familiar face along for the ride.
The announcement came via Instagram, where the actresses shared a striking image of themselves seated on a couch placed directly in shallow water at sunset. The dramatic backdrop captured the essence of their new project: reflective, slightly unconventional, and deeply personal.
“Cracking on. Coming soon,” they wrote in the caption, leaving fans buzzing with curiosity.
But the intrigue didn’t stop there. Shortly after teasing the project, Frost shared a sneak peek video explaining what listeners can expect when the podcast officially launches. According to the star, the show will focus on the setbacks and curveballs that shape people’s lives.
“The Cracking On podcast is all about life’s big rejections and redirections,” Frost explained. “Those moments where life throws something at you that just completely knocks the wind out of you.”
Rather than focusing only on success stories, Frost said the podcast aims to explore the uncomfortable, painful, and often hilarious moments that ultimately push people toward new paths.
In other words, it’s about learning how to keep moving forward — no matter what life throws your way.
A Reunion Years in the Making
For fans of Home and Away, the collaboration feels like a nostalgic reunion. Frost and Roberts first formed a close friendship when they joined the long-running drama in late 2017.
Roberts portrayed Willow Harris, a tough yet compassionate character who quickly became a fan favorite. Meanwhile, Frost’s role as Jasmine Delaney introduced viewers to a complex woman navigating trauma, romance, and family in the fictional seaside town.
Their characters often shared emotional storylines and strong friendships on screen — but it was their off-screen bond that truly endured.
Roberts departed the series in 2021, while Frost followed a year later in 2022. Though their exits marked the end of their time in Summer Bay, their friendship clearly continued well beyond the set.
Now, years later, they’re bringing that same chemistry into the podcast studio.
A Star-Studded Guest List
Even before its official launch, Cracking On has already attracted an impressive lineup of guests.
Frost and Roberts revealed they’ve recorded conversations with several well-known Australian personalities, including beloved soap actress Lynne McGranger and rising Home and Away star Emily Weir.
But the guest list doesn’t stop with the Summer Bay family.
The podcast will also feature appearances from comedian Nick Giannopoulos, acclaimed actress Debra Lawrence, radio personality Myf Warhurst, and McLeod’s Daughters star Michala Banas.
The diverse mix of guests suggests the podcast will explore a wide range of life experiences — from career struggles and creative reinvention to deeply personal challenges.
For Frost and Roberts, these candid conversations are the heart of the project.
The goal, they say, is to create a space where people can speak openly about failure, rejection, and the unexpected detours that shape their lives.
A New Chapter for Sam Frost
The podcast also arrives at a significant moment in Frost’s personal life.
Nearly a year ago, the actress welcomed her second child with fiancé Jordie Hansen, marking another milestone in what has been an eventful period for the former reality star.
In April 2025, Frost shared the joyful news with fans on Instagram, posting two intimate black-and-white photographs from the hospital.
One image showed the proud mother cradling her newborn baby boy while resting in bed, her expression radiating both exhaustion and overwhelming happiness. The baby, wearing a tiny woollen beanie, rested peacefully against her chest.
Another photo captured a tender family moment as Frost and Hansen introduced their newborn to his older brother, Ted, who is now three years old.
“This is Bobby,” Frost wrote in the caption, revealing the baby’s name along with a heart emoji.
She later shared his full name — Bobby Jordan Frost-Hansen — and confirmed his birth date as 29 March 2025.
“We love you so much, little man,” she added in the heartfelt announcement.
From Reality TV to Motherhood and Beyond
Frost first rose to national fame as the winner of The Bachelor Australia in 2015 before transitioning into acting with her high-profile role on Home and Away. Since then, she has navigated a career that has included television, public speaking, and advocacy around mental health.
But motherhood has become a central part of her life in recent years.
When she announced her second pregnancy in November 2024, Frost described the experience as both challenging and deeply rewarding.
“Our family is growing from three to four,” she wrote at the time.
“It has been a wild ride, but we are extremely grateful our little one is healthy and doing okay in there.”
She added that the entire family — especially big brother Ted — was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new baby.
“Huge thank you to our family and friends for all their love and support over these past few months,” she continued. “We love you.”
Looking Ahead
With the launch of Cracking On, Frost appears to be entering yet another exciting phase of her career — one that blends storytelling, vulnerability, and friendship.
For longtime fans who first discovered her through reality television or fell in love with Jasmine Delaney in Summer Bay, the podcast offers a chance to see a different side of the star.
And with Roberts by her side, the project promises the same warmth, chemistry, and authenticity that once captivated audiences on screen.
If their teaser is any indication, “Cracking On” may become more than just another celebrity podcast.
It could be a place where real stories unfold — the messy, complicated, and sometimes painful experiences that ultimately help people keep moving forward.
After all, as Frost suggests, life rarely follows the script we expect.
Sometimes, the only thing left to do is crack on.
