A lot of the stuff she acted out on when she was a naughty teenager, and thought her mum was dead, is still hardwired into her though. How similar are Roo and Alf? Roo may be his parental figure but she is also the cheeky, cool aunt who encourages him to be a bit rebellious.
In fact Ryder can be the straight one compared to her, she is a bit more outrageous and loves embarrassing him! Finally, who have been your mentors in your career?

In next week's episodes on Channel 5, Martha continues to blame Alf Ray Meagher and Roo Georgie Parker for Kieran's departure, as she feels they made him feel unwelcome during his brief time in the Bay.
Related: Home and Away 's Christian and Lewis clash bitterly after a patient's death. Unable to forgive her family, Martha suggests that she might head back to Merimbula for a while. Alf and Roo both try to talk her round. Irene is stunned as Martha insists that Roo and Alf are keeping her prisoner. Knowing this can't be true, Irene desperately tries to talk Martha down, although she sticks by her claims.
She was uncomfortable when Megan confronted her and showed her pictures of her family. She then set about building bridges with her family. When Maddy told her about Matt liking her, Roo advised her to tell him that she was flattered but nothing could happen.
Matt accompanied Maddy to a hospital appointment and Roo suggested that he loved her. She received a letter from James and hid it from Alf but confided in Maddy. She eventually admitted to Alf she was considering getting back with him so he offered her money to go away on holiday to Hawaii. She returned to find Oscar missing, having just broken up with Maddy. Maddy initially turned down the offer but Roo put the hard sell on Matt until he agreed. The arrangement soon hit troubles when Matt used a skateboard as an ornament, followed by Roo walking in on Matt and Maddy about to have sex in the front room and Matt walking in on Roo in the bathroom.
When an attempt at an intervention failed, Roo agreed to treat them as flatmates and let them do their own cleaning and cooking. She was reunited with Morag when she came to town to represent Zac after he was accused of killing Charlotte and attempted to talk down a lynch mob at the caravan park.
Oscar tipped her off to the fact that Maddy was being bullied online, after defending Matt from the abuse he was suffering over his sex tape with Charlotte. When she realised how spooked Maddy was, she insisted she call the police and tell Matt what was going on.
She was hired to organises a hospital fundraiser and thought she was on top of everything, until she discovered the Sands had double booked, prompting her to move the event to the caravan park. She supported Maddy at hospital and talked her into having an arm amputated in order to save her life.
She agreed with keeping the fact Andy had caused the explosion secret from Maddy and tried to talk Maddy and Matt out of ending their relationship, only for the pressure to cause Maddy to run away.
Roo had to inform Tanya, who again blamed her for being kept out of the loop. Alf convinced Tanya they were on the same side and Maddy was soon found. Not long after, Sergeant McCarthy told her that the investigation had shown that she had failed to do the proper safety checks and the set-up had been potentially hazardous: The gas canisters used were unlicensed and out of date.
She was plagued with nightmares and unable to sleep, so Bernice Chung prescribed her diazepam. Maddy refused to blame her but Tanya attempted to sue her for medical expenses until Maddy put a stop to it. However, Maddy then told Roo she was going to go travelling with Matt after doing her rehab in the city.
Roo threw herself into organising a going away party for them and afterwards Maddy thanked her for taking her in but Roo was shocked when she left the next morning without saying a proper goodbye, having decided to go without Matt. When Alf and Matt staged an intervention, she initially denied having a problem but later gave Alf her pills and was buoyed when Matt moved back in. She rushed to the hospital when Alf had a heart attack and then a stroke. Alf came round after a visit from Marilyn but had lost some of his movement on his right side.
She decided to move back in when Alf insisted on discharging himself but ended up on the receiving end of his moods despite trying to stand up for herself. She was worried when Matt defended her but it resulted in Alf apologising and agreeing to reopen the bait shop. When Roo learned that Alf had removed Duncan from his will, feeling he was no longer part of his life, Roo contacted her brother and invited him to stay.
She played peacemaker between Alf and Duncan when he turned up in town but was herself shocked to discover Duncan had a son, Bryce. She defended Duncan to the other residents when the plane he was piloting crashed in the desert with several locals onboard and worried when he was missing longer than the others. Roo agreed to her staying with them on condition Matt cleared it with their aunt and DoCS. She convinced Leah and Zac to spark up their marriage by pretending they were meeting for the first time.
When Caroline turned up with Bryce, Roo tried to keep Alf in check. She was suspicious of Caroline when she overreacted to losing her bag, at first suspecting she had a drink problem and then hearing from Bryce that she had special medicine. She found Caroline asleep in the caravan with Bryce missing and, although he was found quickly, she found marijuana in a drawer. Caroline agreed to give Duncan custody of Bryce in return for Roo keeping quiet, then grabbed Bryce and disappeared in a taxi.
Roo contacted Kat for help and Duncan convinced Caroline to come back to the park. Roo found Ellie trying to hitch-hike to Yabbie Creek and admonished Matt for neglecting her in order to teach her a lesson for trying to set him up with Evie.
When Raffy asked to stay with them, Roo took her back to Brody and Justin and told them to sort it out. She tutored Hunter for his HSC only to learn he had been planning to buy a stolen exam paper and convinced Alf to pass on a letter from Duncan to Tori. She convinced Matt to pursue a relationship with Evelyn and Olivia to go on a date with Mason then told Marilyn to keep an eye on Matt and Evelyn while she went to Hawaii to see Duncan and Caroline for a bit.
She arranged for Morag to represent John over arson charges. Morag quickly found out however when she moved herself into the flat. James told her he wanted to be with her permanently and she asked him to give her time to think about I, while also encouraging Hunter to forgive Zac.
She asked Leah about moving back to the caravan park house. She was found to have low blood sugar and Morag suggested it was the menopause. She was wrongfooted when she discovered James had taken a paparazzi shot of John being taken to jail, then her test results revealed that she was pregnant.
She initially tried to keep it from James but after trying to bluff her way through a champagne breakfast she was forced to admit the truth.
After Morag offered her support following initial frustration, she told James she would bring up the baby alone. She helped Zac set up a romantic meal for Leah and carried out an inspection of the farm house for Sid before it was sold. She ignored calls from James and reluctantly helped Marilyn set up Irene and Leah for a lunch.
In the middle of her discussing it, Alf arrived back from holiday and wanted to know what was going on. However, she then suffered severe pain while driving. She was found by Nate and Tori and rushed to hospital where it turned out she had a ruptured ectopic and she needed to be rushed into theatre.
Afterwards, Alf had to break the news that the baby was gone. She told Alf she needed to look for Martha and left town for a while. She admitted she felt she had achieved nothing in her life so Irene, Leah and Marilyn arranged a day to cheer her up.
It prompted her to decide to become a teacher and she spoke with Terry Deakin from the department about doing teaching practise at Summer Bay High. She wrote a reference for John and Marilyn when they tried to be foster parents. She acted as a substitute teacher for a day but struggled to interest the students. She accidentally gave Raffy a Year 12 paper but she did well at it, leaving Roo to suspect she was bored and not challenged by Year 10 work.
She suggested Raffy be moved up a grade and put it to her, John and Marilyn but Raffy was vehemently against the idea and Roo ended up on the receiving end of a telling off from Maggie for jumping the gun. However, Maggie later changed her mind and offered her a permanent post when she qualified. She managed to convince Raffy to stay in Year 10 after an awkward start. She was accepted for a fast track teaching course and went away for two weeks. She stayed up half the night watching television with Ryder when Alf was trying to get him to go to bed so they could go on an early morning fishing trip and, when Ryder disappeared off with Coco and Raffy instead of moving some wood as Alf had instructed, Roo did it for him then got him to join Alf on an afternoon fishing trip.
She became convinced he was on drugs for a time, searching his bag for evidence. She met Quinn for the first time when she came to pick up Ryder and criticised her for her negativity towards him when she tried to get him to leave straightaway. She refused to see a doctor but had to be rushed to hospital after collapsing with back pains. She was found to have a fractured spine and nerve damage which would leave her in constant pain. She instantly forgave Ryder when he came to see her.
When she returned home, she again clashed with Quinn but felt Ryder needed stability instead of being left at home on his own while Quinn travelled around for her career and suggested he stay with them. Quinn was initially outraged but eventually agreed.
Roo began trying to get Ryder into a regular sleeping pattern and making arrangements with Maggie to enrol him at Summer Bay High. She tried to get Alf to give him advice over Coco and encouraged him to talk to her at the Salt re-launch party. She put Ryder and Raffy on detention after they hijacked the PA system in order to cheer up Coco, then she and Alf ended up trapped in a sinkhole opened up by a gas explosion at the school. With Alf suffering heart troubles, he shocked her by announcing that her mother Martha was alive.
Alf eventually explained that a few years after Martha disappeared he received a letter from her simply saying she was alive. Roo was unhappy that Alf might never have told her and decided to move out, taking a room at the motel.
Marilyn invited her round for dinner, which she ended up sharing with Alf after a miscommunication. Alf later visited her and gave her an old Stewart family ring that Martha had sent back to him.
John pointed out that the box it was in came from Merimbula. Roo returned without success but did move back in with Alf. Soon after, however, Martha turned up, having heard Roo was looking for her. She told Roo about her life but was reluctant to get into why she left. She eventually admitted to having borderline personality disorder. Roo told her she was wrong to think Roo was better off without her, but still wanted to keep seeing her.
She later tipped Ben off to the fact Coco was skipping school. She chided Ryder for not turning up when Ty was waiting in the computer lab to help him with homework and led Leah and Marilyn in rallying around to help Maggie organise the wedding. Soon after her return, Roo had to deal with Ty coming out at school and helped the other teens organise a birthday party for him.
She had a word with Ryder when he got back with Coco and he established that he was happy to take it slow. She then went away again to help with Caroline, who was in hospital and died soon after, with Roo staying out there for the funeral.
Ryder got drunk and accused her and Alf of not being there for him, and when they had to collect him from the Morgans they learned they had forgotten his birthday. Ryder walked out of the house announcing he was leaving town.
After Dean returned him from a road trip, Roo promised to try to understand him better. She was therefore concerned when he asked her help to stay in school in order to support Raffy but helped him plead his case to the education officer. She was quick to offer her services to Maggie for her cancer fundraising but misjudged things, putting her face on the posters without checking.
She pressured Alf to help Ben find somewhere new when he had to move out his surf board business of the bait shop and again got him to help out when John made things difficult for Ben at the surf club. She then learned she had been accepted as a last minute replacement for a teaching post in the Kimberleys. Ryder was happy with her to take it but Maggie wanted her to stay on at the school.
Roo returned to find Leah in an embrace with Justin and was amused to learn they had a secret friends with benefits arrangement.
She was also shocked to learn Martha had been in town and no-one had told her. She began to suspect Leah and Justin had deeper feelings than they claimed and, when Leah was given free tickets to a movie, tried to convince her to take Justin. Maggie asked her to take over as support teacher, mainly to help Bella. However, Bella showed little interest in accepting her help or getting to know her and ended up setting off the fire alarm to get out of a session together, although she eventually apologised.
She was disappointed however when they revealed they were still planning to live separately and Martha was going home but began to accept the situation after joining Alf and Martha for a farewell dinner.
She advised Jasmine against going into her marriage with Robbo keeping secrets and was concerned that Bella chose to do a photography assignment over an English assignment that was due sooner. She and Irene tried to cheer Marilyn up with afternoon tea and she clashed with John over the amount of work he was putting on Alf and Ryder while looking after Jett. She helped out at the Diner while Marilyn was looking after John when he had a minor car accident. She found out that Ryder had failed to get an assignment in on time and banned him from working at the juice bar.
She was disappointed that Ryder lost marks despite doing a good job because he missed the deadline and that he had no interest in going to uni. She opposed Ryder taking a job at Salt, feeling the juice bar job would fit in better with his studies, so was furious to find that instead of studying for school he was focusing on getting his RSA.
However, Alf convinced her to accept it. She tried to arrange special consideration for Raffy when she stopped being given CBD oil in the middle of her HSC trial and also to help Bella, who had shut herself away in the flat after being assaulted.
She agreed to Ryder having a party at the caravan park if there was no alcohol but had to shut it down when his friends got drunk. Sign in. Back to Main menu What to watch Film news.
