HOME AND AWAY
Network 7 (Australia) / 1989 - Today
Who does Melissa play?
- Angel Brooks, a waif-n-stray who turns up in the bay, gets her child back,
gets married, become a widow and gets married again (in a nut shell!)
What's it about?
- Home and Away is set around the comings and goings of the residents of
the fictional town Summer Bay. Angel arrived in 1993, previously having
lived on the streets. She lived with resident head-teacher Donald Fisher,
and fell in love with local boy-done-good Shane Parrish. Angel was hit in
a car accident and left in a wheelchair, but on the day of her wedding she
stood up and walked down the aisle. She also found her previously adopted
son, Dylan, and brought him to the bay to live with her and Shane. For reasons
that escape me now, Shane died on a rock while they were out picnicking
(I'm reliably told he died from septicaemia - all Chris Hale's fault!),
and after mourning for a while, Angel left the bay with a new love (some
English guy named Simon Broadhurst) for a new life in England. And long
will she be missed!
