She's been gone over 7 years now which is a long time in soap land. I still dont believe she's dead and when Madeleine West's career goes belly up she'll be back.

I really hope so. But if neighbours carries on as it is i see Toadie quitting soon and there'd be no use for her to come back!!

I really want her to come back, even if it is just to keep Toadie busy (storyline wise ).

Her career's gone belly up? Not quite. She's been in Underbelly and Satisfaction, two of the biggest and most successful Australian drama in recent years.

Neighbours often does the Harold Bishop-style 'death' with the body lost at sea.

Aren't Liljana and Serena Bishop still missing, presumed dead?

I believe so, but let's hope Serena doesn't return!

Dee or Liljana were great and I'd love to see them come back (even if it is a bit of a stretch storyline-wise!)

I would love her to come back, but I just can't see it happening anymore . I'm just upset that Toadie NEVER mentions her anymore. Considering he marries Steph this week and didn't even have any thoughts about his wedding to Dee is really unrealistic in my opinion. I'm sure in real life he would have mentioned her, and at least acknowledged her on her birthday and their wedding anniversary each year.

Same here I've always held onto the hope that because they didn't techincally kill her off, she can return. I don't think there's a very high chance of it happening now, though, 7 years on. It'd be a great surprise if it did though, I'd probably start watching Neighbours again if it did

Her death was hilarious. I don't think it was meant to be, but it was badly done.

He's not really marrying her for love though is her.

When he was planning on Marrying Steph for proper reasons the last time, we heard Dee's voice and he thought about her a lot, which is realistic.

He may still do things on the anniversary of her death, but do we really need to see him, every year explicitly acknowledging it?

If they do bring her back, they'll wait until Toady is thinking he is finally happy with Sonya.

He's not allowed to be happy.

This.

Personally I hope they don't bring Dee back... granted she was a good character (and very attractive too!), but Neighbours struggles enough as it is to be taken seriously. IMO, the last thing the show needs is a re-cycled plot that was pretty far-fetched the first time!

Yeah but it would be nice to just sometimes see him mention her...just a little comment here or there.

Agreed, it WAS hilarious. It would be cool if she turned up. How long was Harold missing?

Yet whenever anyone mentions Bridget - who's not even been cold for a year - most people on here moan about it!

She was acknowledged when Bridget died, not certain on specifics, either Susan was trying to look out for him because the death was reminding him of Dee, or someone suggested Declan speak with Toadie because he'd been through it.

She does get mentioned as often as seems fit for a character who left a show 7 years ago.

I actually think Neighbours is quite good at acknowledging departed characters.

But they never mention that Billy Kennedy now is a floppy haired doctor in the US

I agree they keep the departed characters alive, like Mal & Cath. And Izzy...she's mentioned almost every week

Susan and Karl are often explained away as being away visiting Billy and Anne, just recently I think they had Twins, very soon after baby Jackson was born. After Libby lost baby Grace there was worry that she was too attached to Libby and Anne's kids I think.

would she still have the weird blue bit in her hair or would that have washed out to sea?

Dee=genuinely likable, and liked
Didge=horrible and stuffed down our throats, and unlikeable.

The OP said "when" her career went belly up - not that it had!

I thought she was a great character, but I'm not sure even Neighbs credibility can stretch to two lost-at-sea-and-returned characters...!

I haven't watched Neighbours for years , but still have a picture of Serena Bishop on my mobile ( don't ask why!) I hope she returns , and i might start watching again.

I always wanted her to return cos in my mind she never died just got amnesia like Harold. Thought she'd come back around the time of Steph and Toadies real wedding. But I don't know if it would still work. I remember there was an ep where Toadie and Libby talked about Drew and Dee as the loves of their lives but how they had to keep going which I think is realistic.
