Where can we see the tributes from the cast?

I just meant some of the things the cast posted on twitter/instagram. I really liked reading how most of them were so intimidated by Cornelia at first, but quickly realised that she was just a super awesome lady.

Yes I loved it when Tasha pushed Morag into the pool!

I also love it when Alf goes to Morag's mansion in the city and she answers the door and he tells her "I'm gonna knock your block off!"

It was like "Gimme one good reason why I shouldn't knock your block off?" but the sentiment's there and it's the delivery!  

I may have to watch that again!

I'm surprised Kate Ritchie hasn't posted anything. Not that she is under any obligation to, of course. Just thought she would have.

I was surprised to see that too. It's unlike her to be dismissive of the cast she worked with during her time on the show.

Oh no, I never said she was being dismissive. I was hoping my post wouldn't be received that way. It's very possible she wanted to keep her grief and reaction personal. I just meant I was surprised she hadn't posted something as I personally thought she would, but I hold no judgement about it.

Maybe that was the wrong word to use.  I just thought she would too.

This is terrible. Morag was such an key and amazing character on the show and Cornelia played her beautifully. I wish I could've seen more of her and I know, just like everyone in this forum, that she will be very sorely missed. 

RIP Cornelia Frances. You were a legend and I will miss you. All my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

I apologise for not posting sooner; this is the Tribute I shared on Facebook last Tuesday when I heard this devastating news:

For 35 Years it has been a pleasure to watch British born Australia actress Cornelia Frances in various roles from Sister Grace Scott in The Young Doctors, Barbara Hamilton in Sons and Daughters and of course Morag Bellingham in Home and Away
and what a fantastic actress she was. Up there with the late Gwen Plumb in my ranking.

It is with deep sadness to announce her passing Yesterday aged 77 after a battle with cancer which we all hoped she would recover from but knew it was a challenge.

Eternal Rest Cornelia. I never had the pleasure of meeting you but in spirit I feel as if I have known you.

RIP and thank you for making Australian series even better with your presence.

Thoughts and Prayers with you, your son Lawrence and the rest of your family, friends and fans around the world.

It's taken a little longer than anticipated, but we now have a feature on the main site, featuring a full biography and tributes from some of Corney's former Home and Away friends and co-workers.
