Trivia:

Summer Bay resident Mrs Peters, played by Gwen Plumb, only appeared in the pilot episode. By the time the green light was given for a full series the actress had elected instead to become a founding member of Ten's "Richmond Hill" (1988) cast, as Mum Foote; the series ran a year. Mrs Peters was reworked into the much-younger Celia Stewart.

Goofs:

A good place to escape to!

Summer Bay is a good place to escape to, every night. Something you can relate to..fun,vibrant, and there is always something happening, you're never bored! Over the years you get to think you know the characters, you've been watching them for so long. A show which I'll look back on and remember.
