Todd Lasance was caught in possession of cocaine. Disappointing - i expected more of him!!

Home and Away star Todd Lasance has been charged with possessing cocaine.

The actor, who plays Aden Jefferies in the Australian soap, was reportedly arrested over the weekend while partying with other cast members and friends at a Sydney nightclub.

It is thought a police drug sniffer dog singled him out during Operation Unite, an Australia-wide police crackdown on unruly behaviour.

Lasance, 24, won this year's silver Logie Award for most popular actor at Australian television's equivalent of the US Emmy Awards.

Home and Away is the second-longest-running drama on Australian television and is popular around the world, including the UK.

Lasance is due to face a court in Sydney in January.

The Home And Away star is left reeling as scandal tears her world apart, Sarah Blake reports.

The party is over for Jodi Gordon, with her boyfriend Ryan Stokes ending their relationship and negotiating the settlement of their multi-million dollar home.

In a moment of madness – when police reportedly found her cowering in Sydney gangster Mark Judge’s home after making a triple-0 call under the delusion that armed intruders were threatening her life – Jodi set off a disastrous series of events.

Now, after reportedly confessing to police that drugs had been used in the hours before the bizarre scene, the Logie-winning Home And Away star’s reputation is set to be further rocked by new revelations about her hard-partying lifestyle.

Signs of Jodi’s sad decline were evident to one Sydney businessman in September last year. Jodi, 24, was on a night out at the Piano Room in Kings Cross – the club owned by John Ibrahim, whose brother Fadi is currently fighting for his life after being shot just over a week ago.

“I wouldn’t call her badly behaved,” the businessman says. “She was charming if a little flirtatious, which is why I was quite shocked when she offered one of my clients a line of cocaine.”

While her image has taken a beating, Jodi’s relationship with Ryan is the most painful casualty.

Removalist vans were last week seen at both the luxury home she has shared for the past two years with Ryan, and at an Elizabeth Bay apartment Jodi bought in January

Executives at Australia's Channel 7 network have introduced a "two strikes and you're out" policy on staff involved in drugs-related behaviour.

The new rule was apparently enforced after Home and Away star Todd Lasance was arrested for drugs possession at the weekend.

A Seven Network spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph: "We have access to the best advice and systems in order to manage crises or events such as this but, fundamentally, responsibility and discipline must be followed through. There are no second chances."

Police found 24-year-old Lasance in possession of cocaine during the soap's Christmas party at Kings Cross nightclub Kit And Kaboodle.

Lasance's co-star Jodi Gordon also hit headlines in June after being involved in a drugs scandal.
