It was intended to be a classic Early Years style storyline - a teen with a troubled home life. In a year where Bevan wanted to pay tribute to the show's history, the Melody storyline was created to do just that. And that's all she was ever invented for. Melody Jones was intended as nothing more than a short lived guest character in a short lived storyline.
However we can reveal that actress Celeste Dodwell has impressed both the H&A team and the audience so much that she will in fact be made a permanent character!!
Melody's guest stint will be over in about a month, after which she will be off our screens for some time before returning under permanent character status later in the year.
What happens to Melody during those months off screen is vital. It will result in Melody returning under very strong and dramatically powerful circumstances. This hard hitting storyline will continue to play out right until the end of the year.
