The tradition of Home and Away and Neighbours actors resurfacing on rival soaps continues with former Summer Bay regular Jodi Anasta (aka Jodi Gordon) joining ELEVEN’s own Ramsay Street.

Having played Martha Mackenzie on Home and Away from 2005 -2010 , she will now play Elly Conway, niece of Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne). The role was originally played as a teenager by Kendell Nunn, but now returns as a teacher at Erinsborough High School.

Neighbours has a proud tradition of fascinating troublemakers and we suspect Elly will be up with the best of them,” TEN Drama Executive, Claire Tonkin, says.

Anasta will be performing alongside former Home and Away faces Rebekah Elmaloglou and Kip Gamblin. When former Neighbours star Craig McLachlan joined Home and Away in 1990 it attracted national headlines.

  1. Oh, it’s a shame if she was joining a soap she didn’t go back to H&A – Would have been some great story lines with Georgie Parker having her daughter return!

  2. Will Andrew Morley not still be in it when Jodi turns up? What is behind her name change? Its odd that H&A never asked her back, since Georgie Parker is playing her mother. But back to Neighbours, I’m excited that they are bringing this character back, although I suspect Jodi is older than Elly should be. When she was last in it, there was some question as to weather Karl could be her father. This storyline was dropped when she left and was never referred to again. With Angus coming into it and there also being a question of Karls paternity, will be intersting to see how it pans out.
