akiralx Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I just spotted that Peter Collingwood passed away exactly a month ago at age 96. He is of course currently (re-)appearing in The Early Years as Pippa's father. He was born in Kent in 1920, emigrated with his family to Australia in about 1960, and worked extensively in theatre, film and television - he appeared in the iconic 1975 film 'Picnic At Hanging Rock'.
Homeandawayfan. Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 I remember him in H&A as Bert, he was the second actor to play him, and probably the most memorable, as Kevin Healy played Bert in 1988 for 1 episode. I did like Kevin's Bert though. And Peter is no relation to Lyn Collingwood AFAIK.
Dan F Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Former H&A Actor Peter Collingwood Dies I did have this story ready to go before Peter's death was mentioned on the forum, but after speaking with his daughter I delayed it so it could be expanded a little with some more info kindly provided by her.
Inactive User Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 I remember seeing him on the show back in 1997. There was a scene when Bert offered to go upstairs to talk to Liam after Sam comes downstairs saying Liam doesn't want to eat anything or something like that. But Sally says something to Bert about leaving Liam to be left alone on his own. It was around the time aftermath of Stephanie's death.
CaptainHulk Posted November 1, 2016 Report Posted November 1, 2016 ^ You mean Bert? You've called him Brett twice.

I don't remember the scene but that makes sense as I remember Stephanie's death occurring when Pippa was in a coma, and that was when Bert came back.
Dan F Posted November 28, 2016 Report Posted November 28, 2016 I've just added a little tribute from Debra Lawrance to the original story - obviously we had hoped to include it at the time, but Deb is a very busy lady http://www.backtothebay.net/news/2016/10/30/former-ha-actor-peter-collingwood-dies/
