“So after this happens, he’s left being so stubborn. He doesn’t want to accept help from people.
Fans will watch as Mali falls into financial difficulty after the injury to his ear means he can no longer teach people how to surf.
The soap star added: “He wants to take it in his own stride and figure out his own way to keep the board shop open because he now can’t teach surf lessons.
“We go through this journey of him trying to figure out a way to keep the shop afloat.”
After Marilyn (Emily Symons) discovers two of her friends are in the presence of a bomb, she turns to Mali who races to help them.
Kyle explained Mali doesn’t have a moment to think about the danger he’s about to put himself, with his main priority being helping his friends.
He said: “The only thing that goes through his head is stop their van and get them out right now. He doesn’t take a second thought.”
“Mali holds his friends and family so close,” Kyle added. “The thought for him to have a friend hurt in any possible way is not what he wants and if he thinks he can help them in any type of way then he’s going to do it.”
The soap star went on to say: “It’s a huge testimony to who he is as a person.”
