Angel Marie Parrish (née Brooks) is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, portrayed by Melissa George. She made her first on-screen appearance on 30 March 1993, arriving as a teenage runaway. The character became popular amongst viewers when she was paired up with Shane Parrish, and to this day they remain one of the soap's most loved couples. George departed Home and Away on 30 August 1996. Angel said goodbye to Summer Bay and left for England with her children and new boyfriend.
George and a friend, Cara Mitchinson, both acted in a mock episode of Home and Away with a video camera, playing Bobby and Sophie Simpson respectively. When the offer of a role on the serial came, George's parents convinced her to relocate from her native Perth to Sydney and she began lodging with families. George met with casting director Liz Mullinar and was subsequently cast in the role.
Angel arrives in Summer Bay having run away from home. At first, she makes a bad impression on the town, selling fake Frente! concert tickets to resident Shane Parrish (Dieter Brummer). She eventually pays him back after he persistently harasses her. After living rough on the streets, Angel develops an infection and is hospitalized as a result. Shane's friend, Damian Roberts (Matt Doran) feels sorry for her and tries to persuade his foster mother Pippa Ross (Debra Lawrance) to take her in, however, Pippa cannot as there is no room at Summer Bay House. Local Principal Donald Fisher (Norman Coburn) lets Angel stay with him, despite the fact Shane, who she has previously ripped off, is also living there. Angel and Shane constantly bicker but end up kissing one afternoon.
