Rebecca Nash (also Fisher) is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera Home and Away. The character was played by actress Jane Hall in 1989, Danielle Carter in 1994, and Belinda Emmett from 1996 to 1999. Megan Connolly temporarily played the character in 1998, while Belinda Emmett received treatment for cancer. Development The character returned in 1994 with Danielle Carter in the role. Carter was only contracted for a seven week stint, but the storyline allowed for her to return in the future. Rebecca comes back to the Bay after making the decision not to become a concert pianist, much to her father's chagrin. Donald makes it clear that he is not happy about his daughter giving up on her music. Speaking to Inside Soap'''s Victoria Ross, Carter explained: "Donald is the one who has the real ambition for Rebecca to become a successful pianist. Rebecca's pretty intelligent and she's just as strong willed as her father so they don't get on that well – ironically really because they're so alike." Ross pointed out that with the recent death of Rebecca's sister Bobby Simpson (Nicolle Dickson), Donald should not be trying to push his daughter away. Carter agreed, saying that he had already lost a daughter and if he pressured Rebecca too much it could happen again. However, Donald still feels that Rebecca is wasting "the chance of a lifetime". Rebecca's belief that there is more to life than the piano is reinforced when she meets high school teacher Luke Cunningham (John Adam). Carter told Ross that Rebecca thinks Luke is "really cute and she likes the fact that he's a musician too." She admitted that her character gets "a little bit obsessed" with Luke and starts talking about moving in with him. Meanwhile, Donald thinks Luke is yet another distraction from Rebecca's music. When Rebecca threatens to stay in the Bay to be with Luke, Donald tries to put a stop to the "blossoming relationship", but things are taken out of hands when Luke admits that he is not interested in Rebecca. Adams commented, "Fisher's got the wrong end of the stick! The situation between Luke and Rebecca was never what Fisher imagined. Luke didn't fall for Rebecca, he thought she was attractive, but if looks aren't backed up by a person you can get along with, you just get bored." Luke tries to let Rebecca down
