Dan F Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Rebecca had 3 recasts (although Megan Connolly was only temp while the character was a regular). There's no stopping Jane Hall from reprising the role (character is alive and she DID play another Rebecca on another channel )for a visit but with only Alf, Roo and Maz around from her time it would be almost pointless. Plus Irene It probably would work for a short visit to see family - with her ex-stepmother, who she had a good relationship with, and her uncle & cousin all still living in the bay. It's similar when we were discussing the plausibility of a return for Emma Jackson, there are still family ties that would bring someone back for an episode or two, but it'd just be the case of whether it would feel like a 'token visit'. There would just be the issue of whether viewers would take to it though after the loss of Belinda Emmett - obviously Jane did originate the role all those years ago, but only as a guest character.

CaptainHulk Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Forgot about Irene but I don't remember Rebecca interacting much with her. It was usually Don, Maz, Travis, Joel, Nat and the kids really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam436 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I remember her and Travis took over the Caravan Park and became guardians to the foster kids who were left by that point. Other than Tegan, I can't remember who else was there though. Sam moved in with Donald I think. She was also a sort-of older sister figure to Casey Mitchell, who was living with Fisher at the time, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutterboy Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 It may because it is in recent memory, but I cannot think of a recast anywhere as NEAR as bad as the recent recast of VJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I dunno, Mitch 2 was pretty horrendous (Yes, he was temporary but suuuuuuuuucked). I nearly went off the show for a month because of Mitchell McMahon's dire acting. Also, Nancye Hayes could have worked in the show as someone else (Maybe Colleen's unseen sister Patricia) but she was NOT an Ailsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam436 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Mitch #2 was much better looking though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Mitch #2 was much better looking though Couldn't act for Toffee, though. Which justified the critics slagging Aussie soaps for employing people for their looks over actual acting ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
