[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 333383, member: 23"] Aha. See what I mean?! ;) Yes, according to his [url=https://neighbours-soap-opera.fandom.com/wiki/Des_Clarke_-_List_of_appearances#2021]list of appearances[/url] he was last seen in a return around 18 months ago so there's less of a gap for him than others. He's also a less showy kind of character, so a big entrance wouldn't have been in character. I suppose I wanted to be told more about who he is today and what he's been up to because I haven't seen him since the early Nineties, but I get the sense he's still good old solid Des so all's well. They must've had a lot of actors' schedules to work around, so I'm just glad he was there at all. My guess is it's mostly because she didn't want to. I suspect her return was very much on her terms. Perhaps her schedule didn't give her time to memorise pages of dialogue and she requested not to say very much. Who knows, perhaps she was even nervous about it. It looks like it's a good few years since she's acted. Incidentally, looking at her IMDb page to see when she last acted, it says she played Roxy Mitchell in [I]EastEnders[/I] for 200+ episodes in 2018. Is this right? I can't find anything about this anywhere else, which seems odd. [/QUOTE]
