adam436 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 In a very early episode, Fisher mentions having a brother who employed Lance and Martin. Did we ever see him or did Fisher ever mention him again? I'm guessing when he was first mentioned in that episode, Fisher wasn't intended to be a major character, but still... it would have given Fisher some more family and maybe fleshed him out a bit.
Luigi Severus Fletcher Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Early on in TV shows, there's a lot of crazy stuff mentioned that is forgotten later on. Didn't Donald have a niece?
Red Ranger 1 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I think Donald's brother was mentioned a few times in early episodes (it was later mentioned that he'd fired Lance and Martin and they blame Donald for it), but he never actually turned up and wasn't mentioned after the first few months or so. 11 minutes ago, Luigi Severus Fletcher said: Didn't Donald have a niece? The one who was a regular on the show for a year or so? Yes.
adam436 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Posted January 13, 2019 Fisher's niece was Lucinda Croft, played by Dee Smart.
Homeandawayfan. Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 His name was Clive Fisher and he seemed to be forgotten about soon after. Not to say he was written out of existence but just not mentioned again. Don had a sister Mary Croft (Nee Fisher) who were David and Lucinda's parents.
Luigi Severus Fletcher Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 That explains everything. I'd say Clive was another forgotten character. Mentioned once, forgotten later.
adam436 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Posted January 14, 2019 Like Debra Stewart I'm still half expecting her to be brought up again at some point - since it's essentially a blank canvas for Stewart relatives. For that reason, I'm surprised Fisher's brother was never mentioned again, but I think it was more Clive was "invented" when Fisher was only ever intended to be a guest.
j.laur5 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 Was Donald and Clive born and grew up in Summer Bay?.
Red Ranger 1 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 No, Barbara recalled Donald moving there.
Blaxland 89 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 When dons mum turns up there no mention of either sibling. It’s all written as if he is an only children the Rebecca is her only living grandchild.
