Fans of the long-running Australian drama Home and Away are in for a spectacular treat as actress Anna Samson confirms her highly anticipated return to Summer Bay after a staggering 15-year absence.
The talented performer is set to reprise her iconic role as Martha Stewart, bringing back one of the soap's most beloved characters to the screens that made her famous. Samson originally portrayed Martha between 2007 and 2009, creating unforgettable storylines that captivated audiences worldwide.
A Triumphant Homecoming
In an exclusive interview, Samson couldn't contain her excitement about returning to the fictional coastal town that launched her career. "It's been such a joy to step back into Martha's shoes," the actress revealed, her enthusiasm palpable. "The character has lived such a full life since we last saw her, and I'm thrilled to explore where her journey has taken her."
The production team at Channel 5, which broadcasts the Australian import to British audiences, has remained tight-lipped about specific plot details. However, insiders suggest Martha's return will bring dramatic revelations that will shake the Stewart family to its core.
Family Ties Rekindled
One of the most anticipated aspects of Samson's return is the reunion with on-screen husband Alf Stewart, played by legendary actor Ray Meagher. The couple's turbulent relationship provided some of Home and Away's most memorable moments during Samson's original stint.
"Working with Ray again has been absolutely wonderful," Samson shared. "There's an immediate chemistry that comes flooding back, and we've been having a fantastic time recreating that dynamic that fans loved so much."
From Past to Present
Since her departure from Summer Bay in 2009, Anna Samson has built an impressive career across Australian television and theatre. Her return represents a full-circle moment for both the actress and the long-running series, which continues to attract millions of viewers across the UK.
Longtime fans will remember Martha's dramatic exit storyline, which saw the character leaving Summer Bay under heartbreaking circumstances. Her return promises to address unanswered questions and explore how both the character and the actress have evolved over the past decade and a half.
Home and Away continues to be a cornerstone of British daytime television, with Samson's return expected to bring both nostalgic viewers and new audiences to the enduring drama that has captured hearts for generations.
