From Bad Cop to a New Beginning

Fans of Home and Away may remember Jeremy Lindsay Taylor as Dylan Carter, the corrupt and manipulative police officer whose shady dealings ultimately led to his downfall — and death — in 2019.

Nearly ten years later, the actor has made a dramatic return to Summer Bay. But this time, he’s stepping back into uniform as an entirely new character: Sergeant David Langham, a straight-laced officer from Yabbie Creek

Silver Fox Look for Season 39

On Wednesday, Jeremy was spotted filming for Home and Away’s upcoming 39th season on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Rocking a salt-and-pepper hairstyle slicked back neatly, he looked every inch the seasoned police officer. Dressed head-to-toe in uniform, the 52-year-old appeared perfectly at ease slipping back into the world of Summer Bay.

Off-camera, Jeremy was seen enjoying a coffee and muffin, a moment of calm before diving back into the drama that’s set to unfold on screen.

A Far Cry from Dylan Carter

Unlike his previous role as Dylan — a corrupt cop with a dangerous agenda — Sergeant Langham is being introduced as a man with good intentions, a clean record, and a big heart. Producers suggest he could quickly become a fan favourite as he forges connections with Summer Bay’s residents.

A Career That Began with Heartbreak High

Jeremy rose to fame in the 1990s with his breakout role as Kurt Peterson in Heartbreak High. The sporty, good-looking student became a staple of the show between 1997 and 1999. The teen drama was known for tackling serious issues such as racism, addiction, and relationships, and it launched the careers of stars like Ada Nicodemou and Callan Mulvey.

From Heartbreak High to Home and Away, Jeremy has carved out a long-standing television career — and his latest return marks another exciting chapter.

Big Changes in Summer Bay

Jeremy’s comeback arrives as Home and Away fans are still reeling from the emotional season finale of 2024. The episode saw Irene Roberts, played by Lynne McGranger, make a heartbreaking exit after revealing she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. After three decades in Summer Bay, Irene left to travel the world “while she still can.”

Her departure marked the end of an era, but Season 39 promises fresh faces, new drama, and more storylines that will keep viewers hooked — with Jeremy Lindsay Taylor’s Sergeant Langham right at the center.
