Isla Fisher teases a return to Home and Away – more than 20 years after she left the series

Isla Fisher has admitted she’s considered returning to Home and Away, more than 20 years after she left the long-running series.

In an interview with Yahoo! News on Friday, the 45-year-old actress confessed she’s thought about making a cameo appearance on the show that launched her career.   

‘Of course I’ve thought about it!’ she told the publication.

‘I’ve thought, “Wouldn’t it be hilarious?” But then the reality of it is, obviously, you have to give lots of notice and then it gets written in and then you have to commit.

‘But obviously it would be fun just to sort of like, walk by with a surfboard or something at some point.’ 

Isla appeared on Home and Away as Shannon Reed from 1994 until 1997, before eventually moving to Los Angeles and trying her luck in Hollywood.

In 2005, she landed a breakout role in Wedding Crashers alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, and has worked steadily in films ever since.

She married fellow actor Sacha Baron Cohen in 2010, and the couple relocated to Australia with their three children from their home in Los Angeles last year.

Despite teasing a return appearance on Home and Away, Isla hasn’t always looked back favourably on her time on the soap.

‘I wouldn’t say that I had the greatest experience on Home And Away,’ she previously told Stylist magazine. 

‘I learnt a lot, but I was very exhausted because the hours that they work you are very, very long and you’re away from your family and you’re expected, after shooting incredibly long days, to work at the weekend doing photoshoots for magazines. 

‘My abiding memory is just being exhausted and sleeping whenever I could. Learn your lines, shoot all day, go to sleep.’
