Geoffrey "Geoff" Campbell is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by Lincoln Lewis. He made his first on screen appearance on 20 June 2007.

Casting

On 17 June 2007, Angela Cuming of The Sun-Herald reported Lewis had joined the cast of Home and Away. The actor had auditioned for a role on the show for two years, before finally impressing the producers. On the moment he learned he had secured a part on Home and Away, Lewis said "I was in a furniture shop with my mum and aunty when called to say I had got the job. I started screaming and running around. I am just so stoked to be here doing this and it still hasn't really sunk in yet." Lewis' character, Geoff Campbell, was said to be a farm boy, a football player and Summer Bay High's newest student. Lewis had to relocate to Sydney to film his scenes and he cut his long hair short for the part. Lewis made his on screen debut as Geoff on 20 June 2007.
