H&A star praises Symons comeback

'Home and Away' star Matthew Walker has praised his co-star Emily Symons, describing her as a "serious legend" in the soap.

According to the show's official website, the actor, who plays Aden Jefferies' brother Justin, said that he was delighted to see Symons back playing Marilyn Fisher in the show.

Walker said: "[Emily's] a serious legend. It was the first day and it was a 5am start. We were filming in the middle of the bush."

"I got all ready to go and made up and walked into the cast green room and was like 'Wow, I recognise you but I don't recognise you from the show right now'."

"She is so awesome and she's just as funny off screen."
