I`d like to add John Howard who played Dr Frank Campian in 'All Saints'. He`s a brilliant character.
And I doubt if it would happen, but would love to see Michael Caton in Neighbours too. As well as both appearing in All Saints (but different seasons), and Packed To The Rafters - they have a great on screen camaraderie.
Others I`d like to see are ....
Ben Tari
Justine Clarke who was the original Roo Stewart in H&A
Ally Fowler back as Amy``s Mother

I'd like to see a cross over episode of the 2 Aussie soaps for charity along the lines of East Street we saw back here a few years ago.

That would be absolutely brilliant roverman. And it could tie in with Home and Away`s 30th anniversary in 2018. Or even as a tribute to Reg Grundy who recently passed away. If I remember correctly....didn`t Reg Grundy`s wife star in Neighbours? If memory served she was Gloria - Gail`s Dads Robs wife.
You ought to email the Neighbours producer roverman. I remember how hilarious that scene was with Neighbours congratulating EE on their 30th. And with Pauls head shaved for his medical storyline last year - he was a brilliant Mitchell brother for a minute or two

I believe Reg Grundys wife Joy Chambers was Rosemary Daniels, Helens adopted daughter, who was a high flying executive who was head of the Daniels corporation in New York :-

 

Helen and Rosemary



Rosemary and Paul

Yes, Grundy did play rosemary who kept popping up for many years, probably until Helen's death.

Hard to think really, most of my faves from shows like Sons and Daughters have popped up at some stage - I particularly enjoyed Ian Rawlings and alyce Platt being reunited as Amanda was by far the best wife for Wayne in S+D.

I think a lot of them are too firmy set in my mind as characters in a particular show to easily transfer, mainly due to longevity. Norman Coburn and Cornelia Francis are both great actors and i know can do other work but Ik5 find it too weird having Don Fisher or Morag Bellingham on Neighbours now. Likewise Kate Richie. I do think when somebody has done 20 years in one show, it is hard to transfer to its rival, at least without equally as long a gao. Most of the other people that were well known for another soap either only did a couple of years in it or had had a huge gap in between. Or both like colette Mann.

Fiona Spence could work. Long time since Prisoner and H+A for her.

Ross Kemp to do a cameo when Neighbours films in England next time.

Your welcome Wendy.  I only remember because I was a fan of Anne Haddy who played Helen.  

I used to like Gail Paul's wife in the early days.

Lou Carpenter is about the same age as Alf? I reckon I can smell a little non-canon storyline brewing in my mind....
