Quick Questions

No, at most you might get a special episode exclusive to 7+/My5/RTÉ Player but it wouldn't be on physical media.

Yup. Literally lived with Stella for a year or good as

Ironically Sally and Sam are the only two child actors to ever make the opening titles and both stayed for a lengthy period - Sally and Sam.

We also had Christopher Fletcher and Duncan Stewart who were seen less freqently- the same actors seemed to portray them for most of the 90s through to 1998, when Chris left with Pippa and Duncan was recast/SORASed. Does anyone know when those actors first appeared?

Brendan McKensy succeeded Lewis Devaney sometime in Q4 '98 after the character's 3 month hospital stay after the accident (surely Alf and Ailsa would have noticed their son had come home three years older and a foot and a half taller with a chip on his shoulder?)

and Rian McLean appeared in June 2003.

Ah, I meant when Lewis Devaney and Shaun Wood started in the roles and how long we saw them grow up onscreen.

It's a shame we didn't see more of teenage Chris Fletcher given the storyline. He could have moved in with Sally and Flynn to be near a better school etc. In some ways H&A has gone backwards in LGBT representation since we had the likes of Chris Fletcher and Mandy.

Lewis played Duncan from age 1 (1990), Shaun played Chris from about age 3/4 (1992).

Check the ep guide for accuracy.

And it really is a shame this show doesn't have its first regular out-and-proud LGBT character yet. 7 probably have a conservative stance on that.

Even Neighbours which was seen as "toytown" for years stepped up but they never made it the whole character's identity.
