Channel Seven today announced much loved, award-winning actress Georgie Parker has joined the cast of Home and Away.
A seven time Logie award winner, including two Gold Logies, Georgie is best known for her roles in A Country Practice, All Saints and recently guest starred on Seven’s City Homicide.
Georgie will play ‘Roo’ (Ruth) Stewart, the daughter of iconic Summer Bay resident Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) who returns to town after years of living abroad. The role was originally portrayed by Justine Clarke and marks Georgie’s permanent return to television.
Georgie has commenced filming on the weeknight series, and will be on air later this year.
"I’m thrilled to be back at Channel Seven and to be part of Home and Away," Georgie said today.
"Working with Ray is a joy. We are having a fantastic time together. The whole cast and crew have been wonderful."
Series Producer Cameron Welsh said: "We had such a positive reaction to Emily Symons’ return as Marilyn; we trust the fans will love having an original character such as Roo back in the Bay. Securing Georgie Parker to bring her back to our screens is a real coup for the show."
Home And Away, now in its 22nd year, continues its reign as Australia’s leading weeknight drama series.
