Guest Character Profiles > Agnes Adair Anne Charleston

As an exhibition, The Story of Erinsborough, was taking place at the Lassiters Complex, JJ Varga-Murphy started chatting to a stranger about how his girlfriend, Nell Rebecchi, was the artist who'd designed the graphic novel on which the images were based. As he chatted to the woman, Agnes Adair, he was struck by how much she looked like the woman in the image they were looking at. Agnes told JJ to have a lovely day and, later, he asked Nell about the woman in the picture - Nell explained that it was Madge Bishop, the late wife of Harold, who still lived nearby at retirement home Eirini Rising. When Nell and JJ later spotted Agnes again, they took some photos from a distance and, as Nell showed them to Karl and Susan Kennedy, who had both known Madge well, JJ tracked her down and told her about Eirini, as he worked there part-time as a residents' assistant.

Intrigued by this meeting, Agnes went to Eirini Rising, where Harold, as well as Hilary Robinson who'd also known Madge, were stunned and confused by the striking resemblance, both in appearance and her husky voice. When Karl and Susan, who both worked at Eirini, then arrived, they were also amazed, leaving Agnes feeling very uncomfortable with all of the attention. After being given a tour of the building by JJ, Agnes admitted to him that it felt strange, having lived in Eden Hills West and driven through Erinsborough for so long, to feel like there was someone who looked just like her, and who clearly meant so much to so many people. She decided that it would be best if she left, as she was clearly stirring up memories for people, particularly Harold.
