Frankie Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Seven Announces New Home And Away Producer Author: Seven Network | Nov 22, 2006, 10:30 Channel Seven today announced Cameron Welsh as the new series producer for Home and Away. In a unique situation, perhaps a first for Australian television, Welsh will take on the third of his different roles with Home and Away; actor, director and now producer. Welsh has a rich history with the top-rating program, having played regular cast member, Mitch McColl, for nearly 18 months before stepping into a director’s role with the program in 2000. Welsh’s other directing credits include Channel 7’s successful medial drama, All Saints. He replaces Julie McGauran, who successfully produced the series for the past five years. “I’m delighted to have Cameron on board as Home and Away’s series producer,” said Channel 7 head of drama and Home and Away’s executive producer John Holmes. “Cameron is a talented director, this coupled with his strong sense of story and creative ability makes him an ideal producer. He understands all sides of Home and Away production having experienced a lot of it first hand both as an actor and director.” Speaking about his new role, Welsh said: “I’m excited to be stepping into the role of producer after being a part of the program for many years. It’s a fantastic opportunity and I look forward to being a part of continuing success of Home and Away into 2007 and beyond. I’m fortunate to be working with such a talented cast and crew and I’m sure we’ll bring the viewers more of the program they’ve loved for nearly 19 years.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelRose Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sounds good; maybe an ex-actor's POV will lead to some more believable (if not realistic storylines). I don't always want realistic but I do only suspend belief so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesarah Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Interesting move. Good that he has had a long history with the show, but is it bad that he has no previous experience as a producer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveangelmusicbaby Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Wow he definetly has been quite a success since he has stopped acting on the show. It is great to see an ex cast member and one that is reasonaly young to take up the reins as producer! Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 And he's cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Preston Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Nah he had weird facial hair going on when I last saw him when he came back to the show for 4000. Zac Drayson did the same thing when he left (thankfully he fixed it). As did Daniel Collopy (aka Chinny). Must be an emancipation thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've noticed a LOT of H&A actors do the facial hair thing once they leave. It's probably a combination of not wanting to be recognised, but also finally having the freedom to have facial hair, as I imagine H&A always insisted on them being squeakly clean shaven. I think Cam still looked cute even with the facial hair (or at least you could tell he was cute under it). Prefer him without though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilaccat Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 ^^ Same But I reckon it could be good to get someone who has been in the acting seat on home and away and will hopefully realise that some things just aren't that believable to viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
