In real life, meanwhile, Whitehead recently confirmed that he is dating Samara Weaving, who plays the role of Indi.
Whitehead told The West Australian of Liam and Indi's spark: "They've both sort of been through failed marriages. Their friendship started above all when they were both working at Angelo's, and they made a pact together just to keep each other cheery.
"A nice, light friendship started from that and then I suppose a bit of chemistry sort of starts."
On his real-life romance, the actor continued: "Yeah, we're hanging out and there's just been rumours flying around and we're enjoying each other's company... taking it slow. It was such a joy to work with Sam. The two characters hadn't had much to do with each other before this."
Whitehead kept tight-lipped over where the Liam and Indi storyline is heading, with more Summer Bay twists and turns expected in the coming weeks.
He said: "It gets pretty juicy and convoluted and in the next month a few things go wrong, so we're just going to have to wait and see."
