HOTTEST TOPIC ON ‘I AMSTARSTRUCK’ READERS’ LIPS - DAN EWING & MARNI LITTLE WEDDING

Since a Sydney Confidential report on Tuesday claimed that Dan Ewing & Marni Little were getting married on Saturday 15th December, fans of the ‘Home & Away’ river boy have gone into an absolute frenzy of excitement. 

There has even been a Twitter hashtag #CongratulationsDanAndMarni amongst the wider Summer Bay community - cute!

Whilst photos were circulating on social media yesterday of Sydney socialites at a ‘wedding’, Dan has taken to Twitter overnight saying:

“Great day at St Pats … I think … Lol Sadly the report in Syd Con was false I was never there. Sorrrrrrrryyyyyyy “

However, many fans have still been insistent that this Summer Bay hottie has indeed wed his sweetheart Marni.

At ‘I Am Starstruck’, we’re proud to call Dan and Marni two of our fabulous celebrity supporters, so it comes with no surprise that we’re totally up for respecting their privacy.

What we do believe is that no matter when this pair ties the knot, it would be a wonderful day and we wish them both the very best!

ESTHER ANDERSON RETURNING TO SUMMER BAY

I am going to be completely honest!

When Esther Anderson first began acting on ‘Home & Away’, I was not a fan of her character Charlie Buckton at all!

Her fiesty nature and confidence somewhat threatened me… 

I know that sounds odd.. but many of you who are dedicated fans of any television drama, would understand the real attachment that viewers begin to establish with a show and its characters (ok, I’m crazy I know). 

That’s when you know that the producers and the actors have really excelled in their profession.

When the character of Charlie arrived, her strong, resilient persona threatened me.  I felt as though she was a stranger intruding the stable dynamics of Summer Bay; a place I also called home (again, crazy and obsessed Leeshie? Perhaps just a little?)

But the reality and absolute beauty of life is that we never stop meeting new people, experiencing new things and making new memories.

And Charlie Buckton definitely grew on me… so much to the extent that she eventually became my favourite female character on the hit Channel 7 drama.

We do all know though that with life’s hello’s also come the goodbyes.

So at the beginning of this year we bid farewell to the resident Summer Bay sweetheart who we’d all fallen in love with, who had made it ok to be with the ultimate bad boy… and who’d made being a cop oh so sexy!

BUT GUESS WHAT… SHE’S BACK!

That’s right!  Charlie Buckton will be returning to the Bay and fret not, viewers will be treated to some classic “CHAX” goodness!

Esther Anderson will be appearing on our screens in a multi-episode stint next year, but the big question is: How will Anderson reprise her role of the cop who is apparently dead?

Esther told the Herald Sun: “I told my mum and dad that I was coming back, and they almost fell off their chairs …They said: ‘Hang on, didn’t Charlie die?’

“It’s hilarious, because this time twelve months ago I was keeping it the biggest secret from everyone as to whether Charlie would live or die, and now I’m in the same boat again as far as not giving anything away.”

I must say that I’m super stoked that Esther is returning to the bay! 

As for the specific deets of Charlie’s situation, we will just have to wait until next year (really hoping she’s miraculously alive and not a ghost)!
