Sarah Sugden Emmerdale

[Twocky61]

Sarah Sugden character on Emmerdale was originally played by Madeline Howard but was replaced by the actress Alison Spyro

Do the producers think us viewers will not notice a different person is playing the character?

Neighbours had a bad habit of recasting parts, Lucy Robinson was played by 3 different actresses during it's "golden age", with my brother coining the phrase "head transplant" to explain the change of looks.

Same with Home & Away. One of the characters (I forget which) was played by Tempany Deckert replacing the original actrees (her name deudes me)

Than there is the Cpronation Street character Tracy Barlow currently played by Kate Ford. Originally played by Dawn Acton. The recent return of the character Jenny Bradley is the original actress though.

I believe the reason for different actors/actresses playing same character role is due to more lucrative offers from producers

Tempany Deckart played Celina. I remember this because I had a huge crush on her. She was sexy as hell in that school uniform to 15 year old me.

Cell Block H wasn't bad for recasting characters but it did have a nasty habit of recasting actors for different parts. Alf from Home and Away and Madge Ramsay from Neighbours had about 7 parts between them in Prisoner.

With a smaller pool of actors Australian TV seems to often re-use them in different parts.

Alf played the governor of the high security prison and Jim Fletcher's old army friend who turned out to be psychotic. I'm sure he played at least one more role. Australia has over 20 million people I wonder why they have such a shallow pool of actors?

I think the third part he had was some sort of gangster. All 690 episodes are on You Tube now.

I quite like the new version, the woman the got to play Joan Ferguson is excellent in it and plays the character perfectly.

Re: Sarah Sugden Emmerdale

Ray Meagher who played Alf Stewart in Home & Away also appeared in the 1987 remake of the 1957 Australian film The Shiralee about an itinerant rural worker named Macauley who suddenly finds himself taking responsibility for his child. Having returned from "walkabout", he finds his wife entwined in the arms of another, and so he takes the daughter, Buster, with him. The child is the "shiralee", an Irish or Aboriginal word meaning "swag", or metaphorically, a "burden."
