Final appearance of Louise Duprey as Amy Nelson. The original intention of the scriptwriters was for Amy to marry Andy McDonald (Nicholas Cochrane) in the soap's first mixed-race marriage. However, shortly after filming of this episode, Duprey, finding it difficult to cope with her newfound fame, suffered a nervous breakdown and was granted temporary leave from the series. When it became clear that Duprey was not going to be able to return, future Spice Girl Mel B, who had previously appeared uncredited in the series as a Bettabuy worker, was drafted in to play Amy. The final scene, broadcast in episode Episode #1.3609 (1993) and featuring Brown as Amy, was largely dark and focused almost solely on Cochrane. Brown played the role uncredited and the character of Amy was quickly written out of the series entirely. In 2000, Duprey, who gradually became an almost total recluse, was found dead from a drug overdose.
