He played the Brennan boys dad....

Oh my gosh! I saw his name on a news article but didn't really look at it.That is sad.

RIP - I never saw him but I was hoping he/his character might return sometime. He looks so very familiar but none of his filmography on here is ringing a bell. Maybe I saw him in the promos before I started watching again.

reply

Very sad. He was working on a theatre production at the time and he got sick. I don't know what happened.

reply

It is very sad. Sounds quite similar to how Rob Guest passed away a few years ago, too. Maybe not the same illness but the circumstances.

I wonder if they will touch on it on the show - mention something like he was working on a car and collapsed; and that would also potentially lead to them bringing in the mother and sister we have only heard mentioned before.
Sad news though, and condolences to his family.

I'd like that, actually. Though I imagine their mother will come in when/if needed and not before. I'd like to see both.

Of course, recasting is another possibility, if they want to use the character again.

It is very sad.

I remember him as Tug's father in Home and Away back in the 90s.

reply

That might be where I remember him from, actually. I remember Tug vaguely, at least.
