On his departure from the show, Jacobz said "I've thoroughly enjoyed playing Angelo. I've worked with some amazing people - and, as they say, when one door closes, another door opens. So I'm looking forward to what's next... here or abroad." The following month Jacobz revealed that it was not his decision to leave Home and Away and that the show's bosses decided to write his character out as they felt he had "nowhere else to go." Jacobz explained, "When they said the character was leaving I was upset, because I love working on the show. It was really that the character had reached all the different goals that the show wanted him to, and it worked out really well with storylines having the River Boys come in so that Angelo could go."

He's very confident. He's not arrogant at all, it's not as if he's got attitude. He's a confident guy, and he knows what he's doing in the police force. He like the ladies. He's outgoing and he's always in a good mood." Jacobz also spoke of how on his arrival he searching for love stating: "He's looking for the right one – He's shopping around".
