Benjamin Shatliff Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 They could get Alexandra Fowler (Angela from Sons and Daughters) to play Debra as she is the age that the character should be. It would be interesting Cornelia playing her older sister rather than kind of stepmother as in Sons and Daughters. It is about time they brought in a few more veterans to Home and Away. They used to be really good at it in the early days. They could even bring in Anne Tenney (Real life wife of Shane Withington) and she could be his one and off screen interest. It may be the best way forward to save veteran audiences as well as the younger audiences. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaxland 89 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I may be wrong but when Debra was mentioned I don't think they ever clarified she was another sister. Maybe she was there cousin or a close friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she was there cousin or a close friend. You're right in that it wasn't explicitly said on screen, but she was listed as a sister in the aforementioned character background for Alf - so she was certainly there as a sister in the minds of the show's creators at least.

shyongirl Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Alf likes to have a purpose. With Sally and Pippa, Maddy and Josh. I am glad he called the police on him. When Sally left it was hard on him but now I hope he realises he has a life away from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyongirl Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I think Alf having a story is much needed. I thought Roo being taken ill might do it but he hardly had one line while sat in that damn hospital. I hope we see more of him and his support. Sitting by her bedside with a couple of lines does not count as a story line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Girl Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Wow. It's definitely been quite some time since this thread has been thought of. I wanted to acknowledge Ray's work during the Anzac Day storyline last year. It was very well done indeed and Ray portrayed Alf exquisitely. The character of Alf and the longevity of Ray in Summer Bay is all that is keeping me tuning in to what is happening in the Bay these days.

Gerard Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was just thinking there that Alf is underused, but he still does appear quite often and is at the centre of Summer Bay House, where he should be. At least he hasn't been pushed into the background, like Irene has been for quite a while. I guess Alf is mellowing a bit in his latter years. I miss the fiery Alf from the first 10 years of the show. Given how H&A has been over the past few years, I would be tempted to give up watching once Alf leaves (hopefully not for a long time yet though), unless the series radically improves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.laur5 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I have really found Alf to be very likable this year sticking up for Hunter!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
