Not sure......."The Restless Years", maybe?
2) Name both the actresses who played Susan Palmer/Todd/Hamilton?
Ann Henderson-Stires, Oriana Panozzo
3) Three 'major' cast members played two characters in Sons and Daughters.Who were they and what were the names of the characters they played?
Leila Hayes - Beryl Palmer, Ruby Hawkins
Ian Rawlings - Wayne Hamilton, Gary Evans
Rowena Wallace - Patricia Hamilton, Pamela Hudson
4) Name the actors who played Beryl's parents?
Moya O'Sullivan was her mother.......I can't think of who was the father!!
5) Leila Hayes and Rowena Wallace both appeared in Prisoner Cell Block H before Sons and Daughters. What were their characters names in BOTH shows?
Already covered in question 3 / Angela Griffin, Jeannie Baxter. I might not have remembered the latter's first name, had I not rewatched her episodes fairly recently on DVD. Volume 15 arrived today - it is playing in the corner of the screen as I type this!!

Afterthought.......Alyce Platt also played another role for one episode, before becoming Amanda Morrell. ;D
(And, bizarrely, I think I might have thought of her before Rowena Wallace, if question 5 hadn't mentioned the latter!!)

After-afterthought...... didn't Angela Kennedy have a very brief earlier role too, before becoming Ginny Doyle?
I think she might have been the teenager someone tried to use to set up Roger Carlyle, but was bought off? If not, then something similar.

Being honest I forgot that,on account of her 1st role being so small. 4)Yes Moya was her Mother.......... 5)Well Anne Griffin but was really close,and I screwed up on 3, so I say Yes ;D |

Bloomin eck - some of you guys are really good at this!
1. I know Pat McDonald was in Number 96, but I don't think any of of the others were. I'm going to take a wild guess at A Country Practice.
4. Beryl's dad - can't even picture him at the moment, but I'm sure he was a relatively well known actor.. he was called Bob in the show, wasn't he?
I can see his face now, but it's not helping!

1- Lucky guess Si Co. It was indeed A Counry Practice. They all appeared in the first few episodes of the series in 1981!
Beryls Dad WAS called Bob Keegan,but who played him? A clue anyone?

It was a lucky guess! I remember seeing Phelpsy in ACP but not the others.
I seem to remember Beryl's dad looking a bit like Charles 'Bud' Tingwell - but I don't think it was him. Yes, we do need a clue!

After a struggle, I can just about visualise him too - and what I remember reminds me of Joan Ferguson's father, the Major, in "Prisoner". Whether or not they were the same actor, though, I'm afraid this doesn't help me to put a name to him at all. Or, indeed, either of them!! |

That's exactly what I as thinking as well just now.. I've got a feeling they were played by the same actor!

LOL@ dee ;D Yes, It IS the same guy who played Fergusons Father in Prisoner.... Well Done. btw, the episode(s) of A Country Practice which Phelpsy was in, was the same episode(s) Leila Hayes was in!  |

Phelpsy must have had two roles in ACP - because I remember him appearing a few years into the series as a character hiding in a barn! He had dark hair then!
Oh God, I really don't know what the name of that actor is - and googling it would be cheating!
