Characters Creation and Casting
Rosemary was created by Neighbours creator Reg Watson as an alternative female character to the married and teenage females already existing within the series, at the time. Former The Young Doctors star Joy Chambers auditioned for the role of Rosemary for Watson. Chambers has said she was "delighted to land the role". Rosemary is the only character who has always been in the show, although only on a recurring basis.
Chambers made a brief return in 2005, after line producer Linda Walker emailed her asking if she would return, several other past actors also returned for the 20th anniversary celebrations. She shot her scenes in April on a visit to Melbourne. In May 2010, it was announced that Chambers would be reprising the role of Rosemary.
