"Home and Away newcomer Kelly Paterniti has admitted that she found it &amp;quot;challenging&amp;quot; to explore the topic of domestic violence in her new storyline. The actress&amp;#039;s character Tamara Kingsley receives an unwelcome surprise on Australian screens next week as her violent ex-boyfriend Nelson turns up in Summer Bay.  [Tamara with Casey Braxton in the desert last year.] Tamara is frightened when a threatening Nelson demands that she leaves town with him, but her new love interest Casey Braxton (Lincoln Younes) and his half-brother Kyle (Nic Westaway) try their best to protect her. Paterniti told The West Australian of the scenes: &amp;quot;It was challenging, especially because we didn&amp;#039;t actually deal directly with any violence.  &amp;quot;Being hit on screen or thrown around, you&amp;#039;d build up that tension where it happens at any second, but if you don&amp;#039;t actually see it, it&amp;#039;s a lot more challenging. It was quite difficult to do.&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve got to be very wary. People are very passionate about these kinds of issues - you don&amp;#039;t want to be portraying it in a way that&amp;#039;s going to insult anyone.&amp;quot;  Tamara, who first appeared on Home and Away when she helped Casey in the desert, is thought to be sticking around for the foreseeable future. Discussing her alter ego&amp;#039;s future, Paterniti added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been really fortunate. Tamara is going to be around for a while, but who knows just yet how long. But there&amp;#039;s some drama coming up and the stakes are high, so hopefully it&amp;#039;s interesting to watch.&amp;quot; Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 7pm on Network Seven in Australia.
