Ailsa Hogan/Stewart

 

Judy Nunn

Judy has written a number of scripts for many TV shows, including rival soap Neighbours.

Judy married her husband, policeman-turned-actor Bruce Venables, the same week she filmed Ailsa's wedding to Alf

Bruce spoke the first words on Home and Away as a police officer chasing young tearaway Frank Morgan.

Her mother is a famous Australian actress named Nancy Nunn. Judy made her professional acting debut aged 12, in a play in Perth

When Judy was 22, she moved to the UK, where she worked as an actress for many years

Among the British TV shows she starred in are the classics Z Cars and The Onedin Line

She is a bit of a soap veteran, having appeared in Prisoner, Sons and Daughters, A Country Practice and classic Aussie soap The Box

Judy reckons the best actor on Home and Away is Kate Ritchie who has been on the show since the very first episode

When Ailsa had a nervous breakdown and saw Bobby emerge from the fridge, it was all so that Judy go on a six-week holiday in the UK while Ailsa was in hospital recovering

Judy says on the main difference between Ailsa and herself:
I'm not at all mumsy. I'm much more bitchy, I can be really vile, which is not in her nature
