Shelly

[Marieh]

Does someone remember why Paula (Shelly) had to leave...?

[TabbyCool]

What, why she left before the other Sutherlands?

Don't know, I know that Shelley left Rhys after the whole Angie thing, but I don't know if Paula had her own reasons for leaving, or if it was always planned by the scriptwriters anyway.

[MarMar]

I think she meant the actress?

[TabbyCool]

Yeah, I know, but I wasn't sure.

Don't know why she left though, maybe it was always on the cards though. How long was she in the show?

[MarMar]

Shelley left in 2003. Can't remember when the Sutherlands first arrived... 2000?

[Frankie]

Paula Forest did not want to renew her contract.

[Ryan]

I'm sure there was also something about her not being in the greatest health for a period and so that's why she was rather rushed out the show.

Shelley left the show on a full-time in 2002 (the very last episode).

Shelley left in 2003. Can't remember when the Sutherlands first arrived... 2000?

I think they arrived few weeks after Sally's first (non)wedding.

[Liz]

There was a scene where (after Sally's non-wedding), Pippa said a proper goodbye to Summer Bay House and in the very next scene, the Suthos arrived.
