Susie McCalister (Bridie Carter)
The Daily Telegraph has an article saying Bridie Carter will be joining H&A as real estate agent Susie McCalister. People may remember Bridie from the TV shows McLeod's Daughters & 800 Words. I imagine it will be a guest role only - not confirmed, so we will see (I can't copy the link as it is a subscriber only article):

"Bridie Hits A Home Trifecta.
A job offer at any time is a good thing for an actor.
For Bridie Carter, with the industry crippled due to coronavirus, the chance to work at this time was one she wasn't expecting.
So when producers called and offered her a gig as real estate agent Susie McCalister on TV drama Home and Away, it was a no-brainer.
"I think it is miraculous that in these uncertain times when my industry is floundering that I got a phone call to say would I like to come to Summer Bay," Carter told The Daily Telegraph.
"I was astounded & ecstatic at the same time. I am very fortunate and very grateful because I have a lot of friends who are sitting in a very precarious position."
Carter is well known for her work on the small & big screen, most notably as Tess on McLeod's Daughters and more recently as Jan in 800 Words.
It is actually her third stint on Home and Away as she has played two other characters - Brooke Taylor and Toni Jarvis - over the shows 32-year history.
"I think it is now more than ever important for us as theatrical people to tell stories that are uplifting and entertaining in these very strange times" the Byron Bay-based mother of three explained."
