Earlier this year in a statement released from Network Ten, Tim’s character was described as a wealthy investor who “has more on his mind that just making money in Erinsborough”.

“Pierce Greyson has a number of layers to him, so he is really interesting to play,” Tim explained in a statement.

“He is a hybrid of a Harvey Specter, sprinkle of Christian Grey and little bit of Robert Redford so it’s been great fun to explore.”

We’re sure Mr Greyson will stir up the drama on Ramsay Street.
