Trent Dalzell who played Axel was an extra on a number of occasions before he actually became a proper character on the show. @CaptainHulk can also verify that one too I believe since we mentioned it in his character discussion thread that he was an extra

She didn't work at the gym to begin with, whereas she is the manager now and the gym is a business that doesn't contain as much staff as Salt so I imagine that is why. She is also a qualified trainer too and it's professional to be in that clothing when at work. Casey was a bit like that, if you watched that far back

I like to throw votes towards recurring characters, have voted for 3 this time round. I just felt a couple of people deserve acknowledgement that fly under the radar

Is Jai Simmons eligible?

unfortunately she was kinda that sadly...

Bold to assume this but I have a slight feeling judging by your account name that you were a Raffy fan? Haha nah great idea. She was an awesome character who I honestly thought was going to stay around until 2020. I wouldn't know where to start with this kind of post though sadly

Any idea why it's taken this long for him to finally join the Bay? Was there plans for him to join sooner? I am aware that there's often family members that join later, but it seems odd that the whole family appear in all the same promo shots yet have never been together at all on screen probably until tomorrow night's episode I imagine...bizarre! I will say I don't actually mind that they have had his character introduced a little later and had a few city visits. I quite like the aspect of characters travelling outside the bay to random recurring locations for storylines, I just feel as though that this particular one has gone on for a little too long.

Short answer: All of them Long answer: yeah as you said it seems like for the most part on Home and Away the people who get cast auditioned for some sort of other role! As you listed in the post there's A LOT of them! It's just the industry I guess, the casting producers keep an eye on who just missed out and find the perfect role for each individual actor

Funny that you mention Rick! Am I correct in saying he’s now completely bald and has a really long beard? I remember he looked like that a couple of years back which came as a surprise! It would be interesting if he came back

I really love this thread Nikau actually gives me Xavier Austin vibes who is someone I was a big fan of!!!! (I gave him votes on the character poll a few years ago) Miles, Ruby,, Tony, Dex, April, Aden should all come back!

Yeah I’d say that after having his actor be an extra on the series for so long he was finally given a proper acting role

Great character! Surprised he never returned. Doubt he will now.

yeah definitely!

I completely agree, I think that Olivia's going to be a forgotten character in the long run
