Roo Stewart is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by Justine Clarke from 1988 to 1989. The character was written out when Clarke quit the role in 1989. In August 2010, it was announced that Roo would return to Home and Away with Georgie Parker in the role. Roo was transferred to another hospital in the show, which led to her absence from the soap for several weeks. Roo is still recovering after getting caught up in the recent explosion drama, which saw corrupt skincare company Stunning Organics send a bomb to Marilyn. Roos return to the Northern Districts Hospital led to heartbreak for Marilyn Chambers, who was dismayed to see Roo show signs of frostiness with her in comparison to her warm behavior towards her dad Alf and friend Leah Patterson. Roo and Marilyn Chambers have been feuding following the van explosion aired earlier in the year, and their friendship is as strained as ever.
