"[5] To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Neighbours, satellite broadcasting company Sky profiled 25 characters which they believed were the most memorable in the series' history.

There was swarthy cowboy-a-like Wayne Duncan, big-haired nice boy Mark Gottlieb (before he decided to become a priest), biker Sam Kratz, and she got engaged to the hottest of them all, Lou.

She was also used for the best moment in Neighbours' history, when the Pet Shop Boys asked Marlene Kratz for directions, and Annalise threw a tantrum because she didn't get to talk to them.

She returned to make a documentary about Ramsay Street on the show's 20th anniversary that was great, but inevitably only about 60% as good as the 'Pet People' incident.

"[8] Telecommunications network Orange profiled past Neighbours characters, in this feature they describe Annalise's most memorable moment as being her wedding ceremony to Mark.

[10] The magazine said "Annalise looked more likely to make a priest renounce his vows than drive a man into the arms of the church, but that's exactly what happened when Mark ditched Neighbours' hottest babe at the altar to devote his life to God.

[12] In a 2022 feature profiling the "top 12 iconic Neighbours characters", critic Sheena McGinley of the Irish Independent placed Annalise as her eleventh choice.
