They were the very worst of times for the usually easy-natured Roo and, once she recovered, she said it was a dark place she never wanted to go again. Well, that’s the state Roo is in right now, as she is still reeling for the shocking revelations Alf (Ray Meagher) made to her, only weeks ago, about what was really going on with her mother Martha just before her death. The stories of a sad, broken woman struggling to cope with life, a husband and a new baby, shattered Roo and all her idealised memories of her late mum. Alf may have thought he was being helpful in being so honest, but what he has done is rip the past out from underneath Roo’s feet, to the point she’s no longer sure what to make of her parents’ troubled relationship – and how she, as a child, fitted in. While everyone in Summer Bay usually comes to the wise Roo to help solve their problems, the person who might need more help than anyone in the coming weeks is Roo herself. But with all the other problems going on, will anyone even notice? SW

Some of these new Home and Away and Neighbours characters we already know and some are about to arrive, but viewers should not take their eyes off these people for a moment.

It’s been a long time – well over a decade – since she was last in Ramsay Street, but it’s official that gorgeous original cast member is returning to Neighbours. Annie won a Logie playing Jane Harris, originally known as “PLAIN JANE SUPERBRAIN”, back in the late 1980s. But why she’s coming back to Erinsborough now, and what that will mean to some of the locals, is yet to be seen. It seems there’s an issue from the past Jane wants to clean up this time around and it will leave a few lives unsettled. “I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to return to Neighbours,” Annie says. “As an actor, the best thing you can be is a working actor. This has been lovely to come back for an extended period and really get my teeth into a part.”
