Summer Bay in a “Tale of Two Cities”

Many former Summer Bay stars are lining up to star in the much anticipated prequel to gangland series Underbelly. The 13 episode miniseries, set to air in 2009 on the Nine Network revolves around the drug trade in NSW between 1976 -1987.

Summer Bay stalwart Kate Ritchie (Sally Fletcher) is marking her return to television as Judi Kane, stepmother to Trisha, who was married to Jason Moran. Her former on-screen lover Martin Dingle-Wall (Flynn Saunders #1) has been cast as her husband, slain standover man Les Kane.

Former stars Dieter Brummer (Shane Parrish), Andrew McFarlane (Ian Osbourne) and Myles Pollard (Dane) are taking up roles as well, with the production set too continue until March 2009.
