Another stand-out member of the original cast was Tony Martin as the hip and trendy Reverend Bob Brown and his blossoming relationship with Dr Elly spanned much of the entire run of the series. Other regulars from the beginning included the widowed publican Ernie Patchett (Vic Rooney) and his teenage son, Chris (Paul Kelman), who ran "Patchett's Pacific" pub, a central location seen in virtually every episode of the series. Chris was best mates with the pub's feisty barmaid, Lisa Bennett, played by Alyssa-Jane Cook, who became one of the soap's most popular stars. Soap veterans Leslie Dayman as police sergeant George Sullivan, and Cecily Polson as district nurse Martha O'Dare, enhanced the community feel of Westside.
