    Not a spoiler, but this is a Daily Telegraph article about Raechelle & her twin sister, Karina. Will we ever see Karina join the cast as Raechelle’s character Olivia’s long-lost sister, sometime in the future..??


    Home And Away’s Olivia has twin mistaken for her ‘almost every day’

    TWINS are used to being mistaken for their identical sibling but few have to worry about being picked out by an adoring public.

    Soap star Raechelle and her sister Karina Banno describe themselves as “same same but different”, so when Karina is recognised as Olivia from Home And Away, she generally just goes with it.

    “It happens almost every day and it is really flattering because it is amazing to see how many people are touched by Raechelle’s work,” she told The Saturday Telegraph.

    “People often don’t tend to believe me when I say I am her twin, they think I’m trying to get out of a photo.”

    While both Banno sisters are actors, Raechelle has a higher profile thanks to her work on the Channel 7 favourite.

    Karina recently returned to Sydney after living in Los Angeles for a year and will soon seen on the ABC’s The Easybeats, which is about the legendary ’60s band.

    There’s also been a big push from dedicated Home And Away fans for Karina to join the cast as Raechelle’s character Olivia’s long-lost sister.

    “Where there’s a will, there’s a way with Home And Away. It would be the best thing ever,” Raechelle said.

    (James Stewart who plays Justin also has a twin - his twin brother is award-winning musician Nick Stewart from the band George .)

    Pictures of filming at Palm Beach last week. Don't know if this is actually Raechelle's (Olivia) last scenes, or if it is just the usual Daily Fail speculation/rumours!


    SPOILER ALERT: One last look at the Bay? Home And Away's Raechelle Banno shares a warm embrace with Lynne McGranger amid speculation she is filming her final scenes for the long-running soap.

    Elsewhere in Summer Bay, Olivia Fraser Richards decides that it's time to make a clean break when it comes her ex-boyfriend Hunter King.

    Hunter kindly helps Olivia (Raechelle Banno) to fix her website later this month, but she feels like she's getting sucked into a friendship that will be too hard to pretend she's happy with, considering that she still has feelings for him.

    Finally deciding to put her own needs first, Olivia asks Hunter to leave.

    Is Olivia finally ready to move on from her past?

    SPOILER ALERT! AUST PACE!

    Raechelle Banno's (Olivia) final episode airs tonight in Australia (Sydney schedule):


    Daily Telegraph article:


    Home And Away’s Raechelle Banno bids farewell to her character Olivia Fraser-Richards

    IT’S time for Raechelle Banno to play a real away game.

    The popular performer, better known to Home And Away fans as blonde-haired Olivia Fraser-Richards, is setting sail for new adventures.

    She’s saying goodbye to Summer Bay in her final episode tonight after three years and hundreds of episodes.

    “When you come off any sort of project there is a certain part of it that hangs around with you,” Banno told The Daily Telegraph.

    “I think it is quite nice that the part that is going to hang around is inside me rather than my look.

    “I was quite attached to my hair,” she explained. “I had been the same colour for six years and I’d always say that I’d found my colour and wouldn’t change. I have not had one day of regret, it feels like me, which is really lovely.”

    Banno, 25, who has a twin sister named Karina, described leaving the show as “bittersweet”.

    “I didn’t go to drama school so this was my acting school,” she said. “I have a huge emotional connection to the work itself, to the people and to the routine of it all so it was certainly bittersweet and emotional.”

    Like so many soap stars before her, Banno has her sights set on trying her luck in Hollywood, but has vowed to keep working in Australia too.

    “I’ve dipped my toe over there (in the US) and definitely expanded my team,” she said.

    “I am exploring that side of the work but I am always going to be coming home too. I just love Australia and the work we produce too much to walk away from it. Australian stories, told by Australians for Australians, is so important and if I can be a part of that, I will,” she said.

    “I am just really interested in variety. I am just super keen for adventure now.”
