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. Chambers made a brief stopover in Melbourne to film her scenes. She began appearing from 6 July 2010 as part of Neighbours' 25th anniversary.

Famous quotes containing the words characters, creation and/or casting:
“Thus we may define the real as that whose characters are independent of what anybody may think them to be.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
