It has been said that since Martha returned from the dead and back into Alf's life, it has been spoken as if Ailsa never existed. Do you think this is true?

I think it is and that’s largely because they want to gloss over Alf being a bigamist, although he didn’t know Martha was alive when he married Ailsa.

I’d much rather they said that Alf had told Ailsa, they decided that Martha must have had her reasons for running away (Ailsa would have understood that better than anyone) and so decided not to act on the letter. Roo had probably just given Martha up for adoption and Ailsa was pregnant with Duncan, so it was better for everyone not to.

Can’t believe that next year it be 20 years since Ailsa died.

That makes me feel old

Has Alf ever visited Ailsa's  grave on screen?

Possibly, her ashes were scattered at sea so he may have been out to that spot, which is the closest thing.
