If there’s anyone who knows the shores of Summer Bay like the back of their hand, it’s Home & Away veteran Georgie Parker. The Aussie actress has been on the show for over ten years now, but she has no sign of leaving any time soon. In fact, Georgie just celebrated an incredible Home & Away milestone with a very familiar face.

Heading to her Instagram, Georgie Parker, 56, who plays Roo Stewart on the popular Aussie Soap, shared a sweet selfie of her and her co-star Ray Meagher, who plays the iconic Alf on the show. And, although the actress has been known to share a regular snap on her social media, this one had a special meaning behind it.
“First day on set 11 years ago this August 💕” Georgie wrote next to the sweet snap of herself and her co-star Ray.
Ray, of course, is currently the longest serving actor on Home & Away, having been on the show for a whopping 33 years and counting, followed closely by Lynne McGranger, who plays Irene Roberts on the show, who has been at Summer Bay for 29 years and also counting.
Georgie herself comes in at number 11, having been on the show for 11 years now.
Fans were quick to comment their delight at the sweet tribute, including some familiar faces.
McLeod’s Daughters turned Summer Bay dweller Bridie Carter was among the slew of fans who expressed their delight.
“Two beautiful people!!!!!” Bridie wrote.
Another fan added: “Absolutely adore you being on Home and Away. Can’t believe it’s been 11 years already.”
“Hope there are many years to come as Roo ❤️❤️ ” a third penned.
We don’t think Roo fans should have any worries about Georgie leaving Home & Away anytime soon. In an interview with New Idea late last year, the former All Saints and A Country Practice star opened up about just how much she loves being on set.
“I adore working with Ray, Emily (Symons), Lukas (Radovich) and Belinda (Giblin),” said Georgie, adding with a smile, “It’s a very happy Stewart household!”
The actor went on to get increasingly nostalgic as she relived her top storylines over her 10 years on the show. It looks like Roo is here to stay!
