The Morgan Brothers: Justin, Brody & Mason

[Pantherboy]

In soapland, close relatives very very rarely return for a funeral ... that is how it is, not that the show is rubbish .. the actors might not be available to return due to other work commitments or illness ...

Exactly right Perdita. And in this case I believe Olivia Deeble (Raffy) was still over in the US doing the Disney movie at the time this current H&A storyline was being filmed. Not sure about Jackson Heywood (Brody), but he was overseas at some stage after he left H&A. (And I think they both left the show well before this current storyline evolved etc so it was too early for them to have filmed any extra scenes at the time before they left). I imagine they may say that there is some kind of complication with Raffy's epilepsy treatment etc that will possibly prevent her from travelling up to Sydney for the funeral? We will see.
