A Place To Call Home Premieres on Seven on April 28, 2013
From the creator of Packed to the Rafters comes the sweeping and romantic drama A Place To Call Home.
It tells the story of a mysterious woman perched between the harsh legacy of World War II and the hope of a new life in Australia and of a wealthy family forced by her to embrace the winds of social change.
It’s 1953 and the horrors of World War II are still raw and alive in many memories. Graceful yet enigmatic nurse Sarah Adams (Marta Dusseldorp) learns of the death of her half-brother and returns to Australia from London to care for her estranged mother.
She carries with her the secrets and scars of her wartime suffering. In returning, she finds another country from the one she left behind. She finds
an Australia perched on the verge of the social changes of the post-War boom.
Working her passage home aboard an ocean liner, Sarah becomes involved in the lives of the Blighs, a wealthy Australian pastoralist family.
She develops an immediate connection with gentle and charming widower George (Brett Climo), as well as his modern young daughter Anna (Abby Earl) and withdrawn daughter-in-law Olivia (Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood). But it is when Sarah unwittingly discovers a potentially scandalous Bligh family secret that her future becomes forever linked with theirs.
Only the uncompromising matriarch of the family, Elizabeth (Noni Hazlehurst), and her grandson James (David Berry), know Sarah has uncovered this family skeleton. Elizabeth is determined to keep it that way – and Sarah at arm’s length.
But Sarah’s involvement with the Blighs only intensifies when, after her attempt at reconciliation with her mother goes awry, she accepts an offer from George to come and work in Inverness, the picturesque country town near the beautiful estate of Ash Park where the family resides.
Ever fearful of the dark secret coming out, and George’s warm relationship with Sarah developing further, Elizabeth resolves to sabotage Sarah’s prospects of work at the local hospital.
Despite being able to circumvent the forces working against her and prove her worth to the laid-back head doctor Jack Duncan (Craig Hall), the feeling for Sarah of being set-against is an unwanted echo of her dark and haunted past.
But it is time for Sarah to face life again and begin her journey towards healing and hopefully finding a place to call home.
A Place to Call Home is created by Bevan Lee, the man behind iconic Australian shows such as Packed to the Rafters, Always Greener and more recently
Winners & Losers. Executive Producers are John Holmes and Channel Seven’s Head of Drama Julie McGauran with Chris Martin-Jones serving as Producer.

After the way Elizabeth treated Sarah it's ironic she was the one to stop her son James from committing suicide and the to be turned away by her mother must of been hard, Jack taking her to the most awkward patient because of Elizabeth's distaste for her was cruel but the the way she handled him was impressive but trying to bribe her to go was amusing as it backfired Author: codebreaker Time: 5-6-2013 03:24 Subject: 1x02 The Welcome Mat
Elizabeth wanting Sarah to keep quiet about James suicide was predictable but with her dislike for Sarah is making everyone suspicious and what a tragedy that Anna's house had to be put down after breaking a leg but snooping in Sarah's room was bound to get her annoyed Author: codebreaker Time: 5-12-2013 09:31 Subject: 1x03 Truth Will Out
I'm not surprised Sarah was pissed after her landlady went snooping in her room and then being questioned by Jack about the discovery that Sarah is not her real name was bound to make her angry, Sarah telling George about James was a great way to get back at his mother Author: codebreaker Time: 5-19-2013 09:33 Subject: 1x04 The Mona Lisa Smile
What a shock for Jack finding his army friend hanging but snapping at Sarah because he missed a day because he was looking for her was wrong and being short tempered with everyone was understandable, Olivia Unable to stop wondering about the woman James admitted to loving in Europe was interesting as the way he looked at the wedding album his lover was there but probable a man Author: codebreaker Time: 5-26-2013 10:09 Subject: 1x05 Day of Atonement
Sarah performing a spiritual cleansing in the local creek was bound to offend some people as it looked like she was skinny dipping and unfortunately she just happened to be witnessed by Doris, Sarah jumping in and stopping the assault was impressive Author: codebreaker Time: 6-2-2013 13:30 Subject: 1x06 That's Amore
Sarah walking into the bar and threatening to rearrange the guys testicles for beating his wife was great but you knew it would have consequences and you can understand why Olivia was struggling with the identity of James lover as she knows it's a guy and he married her for his mothers sake Author: codebreaker Time: 6-9-2013 07:56 Subject: 1x07 Boom!
Elizabeth revealing her darkest secret in the hope that it can help James and Olivia see that there is hope for their marriage as her husband was also gay was a surprise but it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be a lie as she is very manipulative and Sarah going to see her mother who is gravely ill was interesting as she once said she didn't want to see her again but at leased she got to see her before she died and what a cliffhanger with Elizabeth collapsing Author: codebreaker Time: 6-16-2013 09:35 Subject: 1x08 Worlds Apart
How unfortunate that Carla found Anna's contraception hidden in her room but confronting her son, Gino when she became suspicious was bound to make things awkward but that's what any mother would do Author: codebreaker Time: 6-23-2013 09:52 Subject: 1x09 Cane Toad
God help Sarah if Elizabeth found out about George and her having a secret affair and Anna also pushing her father towards Sarah was nice but blaming Elizabeth's smile on wind was amusing, Anna being sick would make you think she is pregnant with Gino's baby but what was the point of getting the contraceptive that was found in her draw Author: codebreaker Time: 6-30-2013 09:37 Subject: 1x10 Lest We Forget
Jack being a former Japanese POW and coming face to face with his first since the war was interesting but shaking his hand for the sake of the guests must of been hard and no surprise he got drunk afterwards Author: codebreaker Time: 7-8-2013 12:39 Subject: 1x11 True to Your Heart
Anna had very little choice in telling Gino she is expecting as she had tried everything except abortion to get rid of the baby and Elizabeth demanding George end it with Sarah was predictable but putting an ultimatum on it will make it interesting as she holds the purse strings and I can imagine he will marry her to spite her, Sarah hitting Regina was great as she deserved it for her foul tongue Author: codebreaker Time: 7-14-2013 07:59 Subject: 1x12 New Beginning
George telling his mother he's asked Sarah to marry him was great as she had just threatened to disinherit him for that and as that's backfired I'm not surprised she take a different approach, Anna having complications with her pregnancy was interesting as she first tried to get rid of it and now she's upset and Regina's face when Sarah grabbed her round the throat was great as what she said was evil Author: codebreaker Time: 7-22-2013 09:37 Subject: 1x13 Secret Love
Anna and Sarah both having a three month trial on their relationships is going to be interesting and could Jack be Anna's father but the dead body was about time as he was a wife beating blackmailer and he got what was coming Author: codebreaker Time: 5-4-2014 11:28

Sarah and Anna starting their trial periods in their new homes was interesting but Sarah helping cover up Bert's death was surprising and James having electroshock treatment to make him straight was sickening Author: codebreaker Time: 5-18-2014 05:20

No surprise Elizabeth needed Prudence's help in her vendetta against Sarah and Sarah confiding to her Aunt Peg about her darkest secret was sad as she allowed the Nazis to use her body to save her own life Author: codebreaker Time: 5-30-2014 01:56

Sarah putting her relationship with George in jeopardy in her efforts to rescue James was great but it might be in vain as he's about to find out what happened to her by the Nazis Author: codebreaker Time: 6-6-2014 05:15
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 7-16-2014 13:01 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 6-10-2014 02:49 Subject: 2x05 The Ghosts of Christmas Past
Sarah revealing her secret to George was bound to come as a shock and him taking it well initially was surprising but Elizabeth's flashbacks was even more surprising, Andrew still chasing Anna is getting tiresome and about time they accepted James for who he is Author: codebreaker Time: 7-3-2014 10:59 Subject: 2x06 Auld Lang Syne
Regina speaking to George before Elizabeth was unfortunate as he now knows she was trying to find out more about Sarah's past but Olivia finding out she will have to carry her dead child to term was tragic but the fact James is gay and she used it to try and trap him it's a blessing in disguise Author: codebreaker Time: 7-3-2014 11:25 Subject: 2x07 No Other Love
Regina's bombshell news was bound to upset the apple cart as George and Sarah were getting closer than ever despite Elizabeth's interference but the fact Sarah's husband is alive after she thought he was dead was great as they actually did her a favour, Olivia considering fooling everyone by buying a child and pretending she gave birth to it was surprising but Sarah setting the dog on Regina was amusing Author: codebreaker Time: 7-3-2014 12:15 Subject: 2x08 Answer Me, My Love
Sarah making her way to Paris to reconnect with her husband was expected but the fact he's not the man he used to be you can understand why she wasn't told and Roy wanting nothing to do with that cow was amusing as he was referring to Regina, Anna finding out Jack is her father took long enough Author: codebreaker Time: 7-6-2014 14:29 Subject: 2x09 I Do, I Do
Olivia not bonding with the child is going to make fooling everyone more difficult and Sarah going back with Rene was understandable but still looked strange as she was happy with George until she found out he was alive, Regina making sure she had a black eye was a devious plan Author: codebreaker Time: 7-16-2014 04:57 Subject: 2x10 Unforgettable
Elizabeth asking Sarah for help with Regina was ironic as she used Regina to get rid of Sarah but Elizabeth leaving the manor was surprising and a little sad Author: codebreaker Time: 8-7-2014 15:29 Subject: DVD Extras
The cast insight to the rolls they played this season was great way to wrap the show up now it's finished Author: codebreaker Time: 9-23-2015 10:58 Subject: Reply 32#32 codebreaker's post
I'm glad I watched that episode first as the alternative episode finishing on a cliffhanger leading into season three would of been a disaster with it being cancelled Author: codebreaker Time: 9-27-2015 10:43 Subject: Reply 34#34 codebreaker's post
Looks like I got it wrong about the alternative episode as a third season was commissioned after it was cancelled which is why they added a cliffhanger Author: codebreaker Time: 10-3-2015 09:08 Subject: 3x01 The Things We Do For Love
George getting shot was bound to bring Elizabeth back and looks like Sarah removing the bullet in the ambulance saved his life but Sarah's husband Rene life being in Regina's hands was unfortunate as she was the only witness Author: codebreaker Time: 10-5-2015 08:59 Subject: 3x02 L'Chaim, to Life
Rene was lucky George spoke up for him as that officer was determined to put him in prison and Sarah being pregnant with George's baby is going to make things complicated, Gino refusing to be godparents to James's child was a little predictable as he's against him being gay Author: codebreaker Time: 10-13-2015 10:22 Subject: 3x03 Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Sarah considering having an abortion before George or Rene find out was understandable but I hope she comes to her senses and Olivia's face after what James said about the family keeping secrets was amusing as she's got one of her own Author: codebreaker Time: 10-18-2015 11:59 Subject: 3x04 Too Old to Dream
Talk about Sarah leaving it to the last second to change her mind about the abortion but I bet she's glad as his next patient died even after Jack tried to save her Author: codebreaker Time: 10-26-2015 12:33 Subject: 3x05 Living in the Shadow
Anna having to keep Olivia's secret about the baby not being James was awkward as she's not long found out who her real father is and Sarah telling Rene she's keeping the baby was bound to be tough as he knows it's not his, Sarah and Jack getting the abortion quack arrested was great Author: codebreaker Time: 11-6-2015 10:24 Subject: 3x06 In The Heart of The Night
Olivia saying she's going for a ride was amusing as she was with her lover and they weren't riding bikes but with James being a closet gay you can't blame her, what a shame George was the last to know about the baby and Rosie taking the baby was sad especially after she explained why Author: codebreaker Time: 11-12-2015 11:23 Subject: 3x07 The Sins of The Father
Tough call for Sarah eventually agreeing with her husband to have brain surgery and George reminiscing about his father was surprising as he was also gay, what a shame Jack never stayed as she wouldn't of been attacked Author: codebreaker Time: 11-19-2015 09:10 Subject: 3x08 Till Death Do Us Part
Regina telling George what happened with Sarah's husband and the shooting was surprising but his proposal not being what she expected was a little sad but Sarah's husband dying after he survived surgery was tragic and George is going to regret getting married so quickly Author: codebreaker Time: 11-24-2015 01:28 Subject: 3x09 The Mourners Kadish
Elizabeth having an admirer is great especially with her being a battle axe and Sarah's husband getting the proper funeral thank to the busy body was nice, Regina seeing George's will was karma as he's provided for Sarah's baby Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2015 00:59 Subject: 3x10 The Love Undeniable
Regina drugging George to have her way with him was diabolical but him fantasising about Sarah was amusing, I'm guesting this is the season finale with the multiple cliffhangers, with Regina possible poisoning Sarah and Elizabeth collapsing Author: codebreaker Time: 9-3-2016 03:33
At first I thought Elizabeth was in the coffin considering she collapsed in the last episode but glad it wasn't as it wouldn't be the same without her sharp tongue and George giving James a hard time over his son could open a nasty can of worms especially as the baby was adopted after Olivia had a still birth, looks like the teachers death wasn't suicide Author: codebreaker Time: 9-20-2016 02:34 Subject: 4x02 Bad In A Good Way
I had a feeling the teachers death wasn't suicide and the fact the poison was meant for someone else was a tragedy but proving it is going to be hard for Sarah to prove and about time Olivia told James the truth about the baby Author: codebreaker Time: 9-26-2016 04:02 Subject: 4x03 When You’re Smiling
The Sergeant asking if Sarah killed Bert Ford was the wrong question, he should of asked if she got rid of his body and I didn't think the victims wife would tell the police anything as they covered up what her son did, about time Elizabeth found out what Sir Richard did Author: codebreaker Time: 10-4-2016 11:03 Subject: 4x04 Home To Roost
I was wondering how long George would be fooled by Regina as she is stepping on everyone's toes and what a shame nobody seen her slap Anna but George putting the copper in his place before doing the same to Regina was great, I knew Elizabeth would confront Sir Richard but loosing her temper when he gloated was understandable and stabbing him was karma but threatening revenge was just arrogant Author: codebreaker Time: 10-9-2016 11:26 Subject: 4x05 Happy Days Are Here Again
George moving Regina out of the house was great but her having the officer in her pocket she is obviously going to still cause trouble and if Anna can write about Jack then Regina and her exploits should make for a good read

Elizabeth and Olivia work together to protect James from Harry was unnecessary but Sarah standing up for him by confronting Elizabeth was great Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2016 11:40 Subject: 4x07 You’re Just In Love
Sir Richard working his way back into their lives is bad news and Harry noticing Sarah was being followed was lucky but no surprise Regina was behind it, I cant believe her was going to shoot her with her being pregnant, I had a feeling James would remember Harry sooner or later Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2016 12:55 Subject: 4x08 There’ll Be Some Changes Made
Anna wanting to use Harry at some point to get Gino to change his mind about James being gay was understandable and Doris getting the wrong idea about Roy was a little sad but amusing, Jack getting into a fight with Sir Richard was great but that was some beating he took first Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2016 14:04 Subject: 4x09 Where Will The Baby’s Dimple Be
Looks like Sarah was having complications when she went into labour but refusing pain relief was understandable with her being a nurse and sad the baby was having trouble breathing, George turning up at the hospital was bound to upset Sarah and Regina's cryptic phone call looks like the hit is back on Sarah Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2016 14:35 Subject: 4x10 And The Blind Shall See
Trying to get George to read Anna's book was tough but everyone helping was great and making sure Regina was out the way was impressive but Rose overhearing what was going on was unfortunate, glad George got hear those threats Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2016 15:06 Subject: 4x11 Catch The Tiger
George asking for the family to go about business as usual was understandable as he needed to keep Regina onside for a little longer but with the hit man back in town Sarah's life is back in danger, Regina killing the cop was surprising but proves she is a loose cannon Author: codebreaker Time: 12-1-2016 15:41 Subject: 4x12 All Good Things
Rose warning Regina was unfortunate but with her on the loose they were right asking Sarah to come to their home for protection and glad Sarah stopped herself from killing her, Sir Richard planing his revenge against the Bligh family was bound to happen
