joany208121 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Over the years we have had many characters with the same names, and I have always been curious about this. Is it so hard to be creative and think of names that haven't been used before. I have started a list to comply all the duplicate characters names or ones that are similar or very close, and was wondering which character of those with the same name you felt was more recognisable or memorable. Please add any if I have forgotten them. Tom Fletcher and Tom Nash Pippa Fletcher/Ross and Pippa Saunders Casey Mitchell and Casey Braxton Charlotte Adams, Charlie Buckton and Charlotte King. Matt Wilson and Matt Page Jack Wilson and Jack Holden Dani Sutherland and Dan Baker and Danny Braxton (Rhys always called Dani "Dan") Josh Barrett and Josh West Alex Bennett and Alex Poulos Drew Curtis and Andy Barrett Chris Fletcher and Chris Harrington Ric Dalby and Ricky Sharpe Natalie Davidson and Natalie Nash Tamara Simpson and Tamara Kingsley Peter Baker and Peta Janossi and Peter "Tug" O'neale" Ben Lucini and Ben McPhee Brody Hanson and Brody Morgan Martin Dibble and Martin Ashford Nick Parish and Nick Smith Mattie Hunter and Maddy Osbourne Robbie Hunter and Bobby Fisher and Rob Storey Sam Marshall and Sam Tolhurst Greg Snelgrove and Greg Marshall Sophie Taylor and Sophie Simpson Liam Tanner and Liam Murphy
Blaxland 89 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Good point. If you included the guest cast there would be even more. Brodie Upton for example. Or josh Webb. But that an astonishing lot of main guest for a show not 30 years old yet.
Homeandawayfan. Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Here goes. In bold is who I thought was more memorable. Tom Fletcher and Tom Nash Pippa Fletcher/Ross and Pippa Saunders Casey Mitchell and Casey Braxton Charlotte Adams, Charlie Buckton and Charlotte King. Matt Wilson and Matt Page Jack Wilson and Jack Holden Dani Sutherland and Dan Baker and Danny Braxton (Rhys always called Dani "Dan") Josh Barrett and Josh West Alex Bennett and Alex Poulos Drew Curtis and Andy Barrett Chris Fletcher and Chris Harrington Ric Dalby and Ricky Sharpe Natalie Davidson and Natalie Nash Tamara Simpson and Tamara Kingsley Peter Baker and Peta Janossi and Peter "Tug" O'neale" Ben Lucini and Ben McPhee Brody Hanson and Brody Morgan Martin Dibble and Martin Ashford Nick Parish and Nick Smith Mattie Hunter and Maddy Osbourne Robbie Hunter and Bobby Fisher Sam Marshall and Sam Tolhurst Greg Snelgrove and Greg Marshall Sophie Taylor and Sophie Simpson Liam Tanner and Liam Murphy
Blaxland 89 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 You could make a list of surnames too. Unrelated ones
Skylover Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 It annoys me that when I search 'Jack Home and Away' on Google it comes up with the far inferior Jack Holden as opposed to the best Home and Away Jack: Jack Wilson.
Dan F Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 Might want to take a look at this archived topic from a couple of years back

Unrelated ones Grant Mitchell and Casey Mitchell Don Fisher and a Asian looking pupil with the surname Fisher (character in 1995/1996) Matt Wilson and Hannah Wilson and Jack Wilson Rod Barrett and Andy Barrett (Rod was a 1988 character and a surveyor)
Blaxland 89 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Posted October 28, 2016 Roxane Miller and Seb Miller Angel Brooks and Tiegan Brook
Homeandawayfan. Posted October 28, 2016 Report Posted October 28, 2016 As it is soapland, it is remotely possible that Grant Mitchell is related to Casey Mitchell. Or even to his namesake from the East End lol.
beau_t Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 They probably go by whatever names they think sound "cool" or fitting at the time, without worrying about past characters (which is stupid IMO), but at some point in the past decade H&A went from being a show which was hugely respectful of its roots to completely abandoning them.
