Martha MacKenzie - Jodi Gordon

[JamesC10]

Would anyone like Martha to return to Home and Away in future? I thought Martha was a brilliant character and I would love to see Roo and Martha interact in Summer Bay this time. I really miss Alf's relationship with Martha. Thoughts?

[sindikatas]

I would, because I haven't seen 2005-2010 and now with Roo being on the show the timing is perfect.

I think they destroyed Martha, there is no way she can return. Not in a believable way. She ran away with a people smuggler and murderer. To make her return from that will destroy her further. Such things can happen to characters like the Braxtons, but not someone who is related to Alf (or the other long time characters).

And I don't think the actress can return to the channel, but I wish she could. I would have loved to see Martha and Roo together.

As said in a previous post, I think Roo was brought back into the show too late.

How funny will it be if Martha returns next year just before Alf 70 like Martha arrived in 2005 just before his 60th

I'm not sure how they could realistically do it but I'd love it if she was to return even for a short while. She was a character who really grew on me and I'd love to see her and Roo on screen together since it never happened before she left.

Would also love to see Roo and Martha together one of the things I hoped for when Martha was in the bay the last time but it never happened. It would also be great for Alf too if Martha was to return, but i honestly don't think this can be done not realistically, I think the only way this could be done if she sneaks back for Alf's birthday but she wouldn't be able to spend long in the bay so the chance of Martha-Roo getting scenes together will be very few if this were to happen.

It would be great if Martha could come back but like others said in previous posts they pretty much destroyed her character.

It might be good to have her back for a short time. Just to see how she would get on with Roo. But I found Martha a super annoying character.

I think if she did come back I think her and Roo would clash.

I think there's a massive opportunity to see the relationship of mother and daughter develop on-screen between Martha and Roo.

Personally I always found Martha to be a slightly overrated character but I'd be happy to see her return one day, but with the way things are with Jodi and Channel 7 I can't see it happening any time soon.
