Miles Copeland is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera ''Home and Away'', played by Josh Quong Tart. He debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 30 November 2007. Ryley Mickle and Jackson Edwards played Miles in flashback sequences, showing him at ages three and eight years old respectively. During the early years of ''Home and Away'', Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) often spoke of an imaginary friend she called "Milco". When Ritchie announced her departure from the soap, producers decided to introduce the real Milco, as regular character Miles Copeland. The development was described by the media as a "legacy storyline." Quong Tart announced his departure from ''Home and Away'' in October 2011. Miles departed on 23 November 2011. Miles is characterised as being charming and quick witted. His clothes often consist of board shorts and crumpled shirts, with his long hair, this gives him a trademark "beachy" look. Miles' style changed in 2010 following Quong Tart's break from the show. Upon returning to ''Home and Away'', the actor had lost weight, grown a beard and cut his hair short. Producers were impressed with the changes and wrote them into the scripts. Miles is often seen consuming large amounts of food, which stems from his time spent living hungry on the streets. This was a character trait created by Quong Tart. Some viewers have written to ''Home and Away'' to complain about Miles' eating habits. Miles' storylines have often centred on his friendships and romantic relationships with other characters. He has become a surrogate father to several teenagers, including Jai Fernandez (Jordan Rodrigues) and Melody Jones (Celeste Dodwell). Miles and Kirsty Sutherland (Christie Hayes) had a long relationship together, during which they lost an unborn child. Kirsty eventually left town, ending their relationship. After sharing a long friendship, Miles and Leah Patterson-Baker (Ada Nicodemou) entered into a romantic relationship in 2011. Leah becomes pregnant and Miles proposes to her. Miles has earned a generally positive reception, while Quong Tart has been nominated for three ''Inside Soap'' Awards. ==Creation and casting== The character of Miles was introduced to ''Home and Away'' in 2007, as Sally Fletcher's (Kate Ritchie) brother, whom she had always referred to as "Milco". For twenty years, viewers had been led to assume Milco was just Sally's imaginary friend. Channel Seven ran an on-air promotion campaign, which promised viewers "a 20-year-old mystery" would be solved. In the 2007 season finale, Miles mysteriously arrives in Summer Bay and writes "Milco" in the sand on the beach.〔 Quong Tart was cast in the role of Miles. He previously starred in the ''Home and Away'' spin-off ''headLand'' as Will Monk. In 2010, Miles was briefly written out of the serial, while Quong Tart took a break from filming to rehearse for a play at the Sydney Opera House.〔 In October 2011, Quong Tart announced his departure from ''Home and Away''. Of his time in the show, Quong Tart told ''TV Week'', "I couldn't have imagined how much fun I would have and the friends I would make on ''Home and Away''. Playing Miles was a gift."〔 Rebecca Davies from Digital Spy reported the actor had already filmed his final scenes, while ''TV Week'' said the way in which Miles leaves the Bay was being kept secret.〔 Miles departed on 23 November 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wednesday, 23-Nov-2011 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miles Copeland (Home and Away)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
