lol, I don't think Phil wants anything to do with Emily Symons or Emily Simons, from his react its sounds like one of them has refused his advances and he's a bit miffed (JOKE!!!)

Emily Symons was in both Emmerdale (318 episodes) and Home & Away (1,770 episodes)

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0843381/

Rita Simons played Roxy Mitchell in Eastenders (973 episodes)

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1910809/

Isla Fisher played Shannon Reed in 390 episodes of Home & Away and is married to Sacha Baron Cohen who played Ali G & Borat

I hope that makes everything clear

Thankfully I don't have to watch any soaps these days, haven't watched 'depressedenders' since the last century. I do remember seeing Angie Watts in a black PVC mac and I think her daughter Sharon in a jelly jacket when she was a teenager?

For Susan Kennedy in a yellow Mac for muck up day, it’s neighbours episode 4831

There was also a scene from home and away when Marilyn was looking after Alf’s store and Cynthia thought she was wearing too little and was therefore indecent. She made Marilyn put on a yellow pvc slicker over the top of her clothes.

Ooooh, thanks for all the info, would be great to find the clip of Marilyn in her 'slicker'. In a previous post I mentioned a nurse in a raincoat in Young Doctors, I think I was wrong, it should have been Shortland Street.

The American hospital drama St. Elsewhere featured rainwear on the odd occasion, a quick search found this still, I remember the coat features quite prominently in at least one episode

EDIT

Just found a low quality piece on You Tube

St Elsewhere S6E12 Final Cut

Re home and away, I misremembered the characters name. Should be Celia not Cynthia. But have managed to narrow down the episode by this

Celia Stewart played by Fiona Spence made her first on-screen appearance on 26 January 1988 and remained until 20 April 1990.

Hope it helps!

if my memory serves me well it was on five days a week, most weeks of the year, so that's probably narrowed it to 500 or so episodes, could be needle in a haystack time

I think it might have been shown on a Wednesday or Thursday, hope that helps

If you search for Home and away - Episode 1875 on YouTube there are 2 videos at the very top listed as pt2. The 1st one with image from scene of isla fisher in green raincoat is pt2 but the 2nd one is part 1 of that episode and contains 3 scenes of isla in the raincoat! (Shorter scenes though)
