Belinda Emmett, who played the character of Rebecca Fisher/Nash between 1996 and 1999 has died of cancer, aged 32.
Born in 1974, she got the role of Rebecca Fisher in 1996. It was whilst playing Rebecca that she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
She married Rove McManus in January 2005, before dying in Sydney on the 11th November 2006.
Coincidentally, the fourth and final actor to play Rebecca, Megan Connolly, who deputised for Belinda whilst she underwent treatment for her cancer, also died, dying from a heroin overdose during September 2001.
It is Belinda is the first Home and Away opening credit star to die, thought this can't be confirmed as we there is very little info to be found about certain actors from the earlier year.
