Geoffrey "Geoff" Campbell is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by Lincoln Lewis. The actor spent two years auditioning for a role on the show, before he was offered the part of Geoff. Lewis relocated to Sydney for filming and he cut his long hair for the character. He made his first screen appearance during the episode broadcast 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 previously auditioned for a role on the show for two years, before finally impressing the producers. During an interview published in Inside Soap, Lewis revealed that he had auditioned for Ric Dalby in 2004, making it down to the final three, before Mark Furze got the part. Then in 2007, Lewis auditioned for Drew Curtis and made it to the final two – only for Bobby Morley to be given the role. Of the moment he learned he had secured a role in 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.
