Home and Away - 1993 - Bobby Simpson's death

[@Ravinder2220]

This was the very first episode of Home and Away that I watched in 1993. I was 8 years old. I’ve never ever missed an episode ever since 1993. Bobby was an absolute legend in the early days of the show. From a teenage tearaway to a nice person.

[@richallenxbox1976]

I miss this era of Home and Away, I used to watch ir every day when it was on at 10 past 5 after CITV, I'd watch that and then turn over to BBC 1 after for Neighbours, good times.

The piano theme in these scenes is as heartbreaking as the storyline. They always did have great music on the series in those days.

[@Renwick19]

The themed was composed and created for Bobby as it was named Bobbys theme but it’s been used numerous times over the years for sad scenes and exits. I believe the last time it was used was Sally’s departure in 2008

[@ShinyHappyPurple]

Not to change the subject but Bobby's husband reminds me of Steve Irwin aka the Crocodile Hunter.

The scene whereby Don tells Sam about Bobby is absolutely spot on, so well performed by both actors. Always remembered that scene.

[@Renwick19]

Don lost 3 children during his time on the show. Alan, Bobby and Byron

[@Renwick19]

@@kathleenmaclachlan1541 He became a bit of a nasty sod when he was in his teen years but his relationship with Hayley Smith straightened him out. I don’t think he ever got counseling for Bobby’s death

[@kerrijohnstone7588]

I met him about 6 months ago (Greg) and said "Do you mind if I ask you if you were in Home and Away?", he was SUCH a nice guy about it and said "Yep haven't been asked that for about 5 years" and he autographed my Mad magazine, we chatted for awhile about the cast members he said Nicole Dickson was one of the LOVELIEST women he has ever acted with and they were all great. Was a terrific fella and has NOT aged a day, just short hair now lol.

That's great to read thanks for the info Kerri!

Why did Donald tell boy Bobby is dead before she died

[@VividAmelia]

@@jazmorrison9030 probably because he knew she was dying And she was already brain dead, the machine was just breathing for her

Bobby was a rebel but she was a really good person inside I will miss her character very very much and I can’t help but have feelings for Donald Fisher he’s lost two children and I can’t hate him as much as I want to in series one

[@allknowingoracle3277]

The end of an era for sure however 1994 - 96 was definitely one of the strongest eras right after this.

[@Fyfe4life07]

Why do I always lose it when I watch this scene 😢

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

Just seen the full episode of the accident on the My5 app. After years of trying to find the full episode. Mad that it ended with footage of the life jackets floating in the water. Do you know what episode number the accident and the next episode is/was? I know you can’t upload full eps because of copyright. Shame. I started watching home and away in 1994 and this was 1993. I wish I’d watched it in 1993, but I was only 7 or 8 haha. WHY did she go back out on the boat and WHY weren’t they wearing life jackets??

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

UPDATE: I found the eps on dailymotion and watched up until her funeral.

She still called him "Flat head" though, even when she knew he was her Dad!

please could you find more episodes to upload of home and away so we can see them

[@RNC200711]

Poor Sam, then 3 years later he'd lose Michael I always remembered even at a younger age why Frank never returned for Bobby's funeral, unless it was explained

[@SummerBayJournal]

I don't think it was explained onscreen but 1.5 years previously he returned and he made no secret that he was trying to steal Bobby away from Greg.Which was pretty bad behaviour. So maybe out of respect for Greg and Sam he stayed away.

Question if she's dead in the hospital how come the breathing monitor was still running.And then towards the end the nurse turned it off with no heartbeat.

This was easily the saddest & most shocking deaths(I Think) ever to happen in H&A,I mean I know Tom's death in '90 was huge but after 6 years Bobby(Nicolle) had created a real legacy,from rebellious teen to clever adult.If you'd seen the early years in particular you would have seen the reason why so many loved Bobby.In saying that,I think the fact that Bobby died after 6 years makes the charachter even more memeroble,than is she had lived on.Oh & I had nightmares after this.(I was only 9!)
