Bobby Marshall (also Simpson and Morgan) is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, played by Nicolle Dickson.

Bobby's story lines have focused on finding her biological parents, her feud with Roo Stewart, adoption and her marriage to foster brother Frank Morgan.

[2] The fame also took Dickson by surprise, whilst interviewed by newspaper Evening Times she stated: "I'm just an ordinary teenage girl but my life changed completely almost over-night.

[5] After Dickson's exit the remaining older cast members were offered pay rises because Seven feared they would follow her decision to quit.

"[2] They also brand her a loner, streetwise and describe her attitude in her early years stating: "If she liked you she'd do anything for you, if she had an anti against you she was a little demon who'd only stop short of crime in her actions towards you.

"[2] Dickson also believes that Bobby's popularity stems from the fact she does the things people in real life wish they could do but are not brave enough to.

[1] In the book Home and Away Special she is described as: "Bobby is a loner, she has very few friends, only the tearaways of the town, and claims to need nobody.

"[2] Another storyline was her relationship with foster brother Frank Morgan (Alex Papps), they get together after Roo Stewart (Justine Clarke) leaves him on their wedding day.

[8] Bobby was born in Summer Bay as the illegitimate daughter of Morag Bellingham (Cornelia Frances) and Donald Fisher (Norman Coburn).

She was adopted by Doris and Al Simpson (George Leppard; Terence Donovan), who she moved with to the city when she was two years old.

[2] Tom (Roger Oakley) and Pippa Fletcher (Vanessa Downing) arrive with their foster children to take a look at the caravan park, Bobby is hiding in one in of the vans with the help of Neville (Frank Lloyd) and Floss McPhee (Sheila Kennelly), after being accused of breaking into Donald Fisher's house.

She is later caught by Tom and Frank when Sally identifies the girl who pushed her, and is placed under citizens arrest by Fisher who has been searching for her due to his suspicions about her robbing him.

Fisher tries to have her arrested again as he wants to see justice, but Tom and Pippa refuse to press charges as they believe Bobby is innocent.

However, Steven Matheson (Adam Willits), comes to her defence when she is harassed by Lance Smart (Peter Vroom) and Martin Dibble (Craig Thomson) on the beach.

But Carly Morris (Sharyn Hodgson), objects to Bobby staying in the caravan park and a fight breaks out between them just as a man from community services stops by to assess the Fletchers living arrangements.

Bobby feels guilty that she might be responsible for splitting the family up, so she goes to the city to convince Tarquin Pearce (John O'Brien), the man from the department not to take the kids away from Tom and Pippa.

Now reformed and living in a stable home, Bobby and Ailsa decide to set up a new business, The Bayside Diner.

Bobby constantly worries however that he is on the rebound; this makes her cry a lot and let her usual strong image fade.

So after constant disagreements, Frank decides to leave Summer Bay for New York City to reconcile with Roo.

Initially neither can handle the situation, but eventually the two decide to put their past differences aside and develop a close father-daughter relationship.

After coming to terms with the prospect of being a mother, Bobby develops stomach pains and is devastated to find out she has suffered a miscarriage.

After a few days, Bobby's friends and family each say their goodbyes to her, before the decision is made by Greg to turn off her life support machine.

Adam is not charged with causing her death, but despite it being accidental, he is still treated like an outcast as he becomes hated by most of the Bay's residents and he is only forgiven after he saves Sam from a fire.

[10] In his book, Super Aussie Soaps, Andrew Mercado describes Bobby as the serial's "breakout star" both on and off-screen, also branding her as extremely rebellious.

[13] Darren Rowe of entertainment website Digital Spy refers to both character and actress as an icon of the serial.

[14] Eamonn McCusker writing for The Digital Fix attributes the origins of cheap television to Bobby's infamous beach scene in which she first says "Rack Off!".
