TV BEAUTY Pia Miller has been spotted filming a new TV drama.

Miller, 33, was wearing brightly-coloured active wear as she filmed scenes with Ash Ricardo, best known for Offspring, near Manly Wharf.

The shots, which show the pair running along the waterside, appear to confirm that the Home and Away star could have left the soapie which made her famous.

Images of actors filming funeral scenes for her character, cop Katarina Chapman and that of her unborn child last month, suggested she’s departed Summer Bay, which is filmed partly at Palm Beach.

It’s been reported reality TV star Sam Frost, plays a character who runs her car off the road.

However, last month Miller would not be drawn on the speculation she was leaving the show she’s been in for two years, saying “We can’t give away too many storylines”.

As reported in the Manly Daily, Ricardo, who plays Kerry in hit drama Offspring, and Todd Lasance, best known for playing Julius Caesar in the TV version of Spartacus and who also appeared in The Vampire Diaries, are also in the a new drama which is believed to have an element of shark bite victims in the story.

Actors spotted on set in Manly this week included people missing limbs and a girl with a scar on her leg.

The show’s also believed to have a murder mystery element.

Ricardo is dating Ian Meadows, who stars as Pete in The Wrong Girl.

Cast and crew have also been spotted on South Steyne, on Sydney Road and in Market Lane.

Extras have also been involved, including people in surf gear as well as business suits.

The Steyne and Manly Pavilion are other locations, and no more details have been revealed about what the show is.
