    Home and Away fans will be welcoming back a familiar face next year as Morag Bellingham returns to Summer Bay.

    Cornelia Frances is reprising her role as the much-loved character, having made her last appearance in the show two years ago in 2013.

    The actress was recently spotted filming on location, sparking speculation that Morag was set to make another comeback.

    Her son Lawrence later confirmed the rumours on his Instagram account, but noted her disappointment that it won't be a regular return.

    He said: "Mum will be back in Home And Away in Jan/Feb, 2016 but won't be regular which she also wishes it was."

    Back in 2011, Frances surprised fans by revealing that she would love to be a permanent character. Up until that point, it had always been assumed that she came and went by choice.

    Morag was last seen in Summer Bay in 2013

    She said previously: "Of course I'd like to stay, and I don't like coming and going. Nobody does - it's very unsettling.

    "Whenever they ask me back, it's a compliment. But she's a very strong character, and maybe it's hard to write for [her] all of the time, but I'd like to be there all of the time."

    Home and Away producer Lucy Addario has revealed the details surrounding Morag Bellingham's long-awaited return, confirming that it will be linked with Charlotte King's murder trial.

    It was announced last year that Cornelia Frances would be reprising her role as the much-loved character, having made her last appearance on the show in 2013.

    Morag will return to Summer Bay after Alf calls on her for help in representing a resident who is wrongly accused of killing Charlotte, following her death in Australia's season finale last year.

    Addario told TV Week: "Alf calls on Morag to defend someone who has been accused of Charlotte's murder. She is ruthless and determined. "

    Teasing what else fans can look forward to in 2016, Addario said: "There is a lot coming up in the first half of the year.

    "There will be a wedding and the arrival of the Morgan family. Amongst all that drama, there is going to be a proposal, a court case that may see a Summer Bay favourite locked up for years and some new romances!"

    Home and Away Spoiler News!


    Fan Favourite Back On Set!

    Filming has taken place at Palm Beach this week for the return of a much-loved character in 2017.


    Morag to return in 2017!

    We can reveal that the much-loved character of Morag Bellingham will be making another return to Summer Bay in 2017.

    Cornelia Frances, who has played the feisty character on and off since 1988, commenced filming at Palm Beach this week in scenes with Shane Withington (John Palmer).

    Morag’s first episode appearance in Home and Away aired on 7 June 1988, as the oft-mentioned sister of established characters Alf and Celia Stewart, arriving for the wedding of her niece, Roo to her high-school love interest, Frank. The wedding, however didn’t go ahead as planned and Morag left Summer Bay soon after. Morag returned, now as a member of the main cast, to the series in 1989 for the wedding of Frank and her newly-discovered daughter (and arch nemesis), Bobby Simpson. She stayed on for 9 months, before leaving the series once again.

    Morag’s next return to the series was after the death of Bobby in 1993. She was then exiled from Summer Bay after it was learnt by Ailsa that she was trying to manipulate Summer Bay to gain custody of her grandson, Sam. She made a surprise comeback in 2001 as the judge presiding over the infamous Dani Sutherland vs. Kane Phillips trial, then made subsequent appearances on a regular basis over the next decade.

    Morag’s most recent appearance came earlier this year, when she represented Zac MacGuire following his arrest for the suspected murder of Charlotte King. During her tenure she butted heads with Detective Dylan Carter, and was later able to provide Kat with information on his shady dealings.

    Whilst we can’t reveal anything about the storyline that brings about her latest stint, we can confirm that Morag will once again be back in a professional capacity, for approximately 2-3 weeks.

    By our calculations, viewers can expect to see Morag back on Australian screens around March-April 2017.

    BTTB


    (Does Morag's return, & her scenes with John, have something to do with what has been posted recently on the John & Marilyn thread??.........)

    Home and Away will be bringing back Morag Bellingham as John Palmer stands trial for the Summer Bay bushfires.

    Fans may have already been aware that Morag (Cornelia Frances) would be making another guest appearance on the Aussie soap, but details about her return had been kept under wraps until now. Major spoilers for UK viewers follow...

    Morag will be called upon by John's desperate wife Marilyn, who is determined to prevent him from getting a lengthy jail sentence.

    Viewers know that an unwell John was responsible for starting a series of fires that wreaked havoc in the Bay – and caused Billie Ashford's cancer that led to her death.

    However, when John is appointed an insouciant legal aid lawyer to represent him in court, it really does look the odds are against him.

    Unimpressed by Lachlan the lawyer, Marilyn is advised by Irene and Roo to call feisty Morag – who last turned up in the beachside town to defend Zac MacGuire when he was wrongly arrested on suspicion of murdering Charlotte King.

    TV Week reports that Morag will soon be arriving at the Palmer's doorstop, but sadly for Marilyn and John it isn't all good news.

    Although Morag is happy to help John as much as she can, she is also keen to be realistic about the fight they are facing, and warns the pair that it won't be easy. But can Morag
    prevent John from going to jail?

    Home and Away welcomes back fan favourite Morag Bellingham later this month as she arrives back in Summer Bay to save John Palmer from a jail sentence.

    John has a tough battle ahead as he faces trial over his recent string of arson attacks in the Bay, but his chances aren't looking too good when his lawyer doesn't seem to be taking the case seriously enough.

    Determined to help, Roo Stewart steps in by making contact with Morag (Cornelia Frances) and urging her to take on the case. Always prepared to help a Summer Bay resident who's in trouble, no-nonsense Morag arrives in town and quickly gets to work.

    Morag's proposal is to argue diminished responsibility so that John won't have to spend any time in jail, but she warns that they'll have a tough fight on their hands.

    An alternative solution crops up when Morag receives a call from the prosecutor, who's prepared to give John a minimum sentence if he pleads guilty.

    Tempted by the option of spending just two years in jail, John seriously considers the idea – much to the distress of his wife Marilyn.

    Morag also can't resist interfering in Roo's love life when she discovers that her niece has started up a new romance with a younger guy called James.

    When Morag "helpfully" points out that James is the same age as Roo's daughter Martha, Roo (Georgie Parker) gets just as spiteful by pointing out that at least she's trying not to end up alone and bitter like Morag. Will Morag back off?
