Elly rejoined her daughter Claire who'd returned to "E Street" as well by hitching a ride on the back of Wheels's Harley Davidson and this also marked the return of hugely popular Marcus Graham to the series after more than a year off-screen pursuing other roles. This time, he stayed for almost a year. Another returnee was Ernie Patchett who came back to Westside after his cousin, Mary, was mugged. Traumatised by the assault, Mary decided to return to England and Ernie proudly took back control of his pub. By the end of the 1991 season, and for most of 1992, "E Street" was the most popular series in Australia.
