Pippa's second husband, introduced six months after Tom's death when someone decided Pippa as a single mother [[StatusQuoIsGod wasn't such a good idea after all]]. Considered a ReplacementScrappy for Tom by some fans, but, like [[TheOtherDarrin The Other Pippa]], lasted so much longer than the original that people forgot they ''weren't'' the originals.

* ChildByRape: Shauna.
* DarkSecret: Wanting to break up Ailsa's recent engagement to her father, Roo had Morag do some digging on her. Even she was unprepared for what she found out; Ailsa had spent time in prison for murdering her father (although self-defence, Ailsa was sent to prison due to her total lack of remorse for the crime). Although shocked, Alf stood by her.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the first episode, far from being the moral and upstanding member of the community he would soon turn into, Fisher is presented as an outright villain. He is so eager to send Bobby to jail that he suggests to Tom and Pippa that they create some fake evidence, and when they refuse he begins a campaign to run them out of town.

Second longest serving cast member (and longest serving regular female cast member), Sally first appeared in the pilot episode too, when her foster family bought the caravan park from Alf. When first we saw her, she had adjusted well to her life with the Fletchers, leaving only her imaginary friend Milko. She went on to grow up before the eyes of the nation, eventually taking on a teaching job at the high school (and becoming principal after Fisher). She eventually discovered she had a long-lost brother, "Milco" ('''Mil'''es '''Co'''peland), who took over her position in the cast.

Introduced with Pippa as the lynchpin couple of the show. The first episode dealt with Tom losing his job the day after his 40th birthday, with him and Pippa deciding to relocate from the city to Summer Bay to appease the social department so their foster children wouldn't be removed. Died of a stroke in 1990.

Tropes associated with Pippa:
* TheOtherDarrin: When Vanessa Downing suddenly chose to leave the series after two years (reportedly because she missed working with Roger Oakley), rather than lose their other main character in less than a year the producers recast Pippa with Debra Lawrence. Lawrence lasted eight years with many guest-spots after and became so well-known in the role that it was easy to forget there was ever anyone else playing Pippa.
