It is a #TheNewsreader birthday today!
Sending birthday wishes to Mr #RobertTaylor, who played #GeoffWalters in S1 and S2. Geoff was a complex man, and Robert brought him to life incredibly well. He was certainly missed in S3!
Hoping Robert has a wonderful day! ❤️🎂🎉
Was thrilled to come across this unit still from Season Two of #PaulStricker and #GeoffWalters on set of The Walters Report last night! 🎉📸
It was found on #NickSimpsonDeeks’ IMDB gallery! We even got some solo shots of Nick/Paul too! (See below)

I'm watching an episode of #CrimeInvestigationAustralia from 2005, and presenter #SteveLiebmann is dressed very similar to #GeoffWalters in Season Two of #TheNewsreader.
I cannot be the only one who sees the similarities, surely! ❤️📺

It is with a heavy heart to say that Mr #GeoffWalters died offscreen at the beginning of Season Three, a month prior to the 1989 Logie Awards.
He was born on the 1st February 1926, and it appears he died on the 3rd February 1989.
He had only just turned 63 💔

In the 1980s, #GeoffWalters was struggling with his heart, and so was #SirEricPearce, as discovered in this #NewIdea magazine from 17/09/1988.
Sir Pearce was recovering from heart surgery, and was said to be frustrated by losing his independence, just like Geoff.

In 1986, #GeoffWalters had been on television screens for thirty years. The public love and respect for him was so huge that he had to avoid busy streets, it was simply that fierce.
He helped bring TV news to Melbourne, and he was a star.

#GeoffWalters is a ‘founding father’ of Australian television news; having been there since its launching days in 1956.
He draws a lot of similarities to real newsreaders of the time. I wonder which one I will be featuring on my page today? 🤔

I always think that #GeoffWalters’ speech at his party was so clever.
It essentially gave viewers a brief crash course on the key points in early Australian television news history, and an idea of the events which News At Six has covered over time!

#GeoffWalters has given me a whole lot of conflicting feelings over the past two seasons, but I did truly end up loving him in Greed And Fear.
Showing him as a father was truly the best writing decision. It did wonders to soften his image ❤️

#GeoffWalters can sense that Evelyn doesn’t believe what Kay is saying, but she seems so upset and worried about her shares.
He’s got to be able to believe his daughter, right? Why else would she be so upset otherwise? Nothing else he can pinpoint.

As the stock market is looking rocky and unpredictable, #GeoffWalters has two lots of voices in his ear - his advisor Morris, and his wife Evelyn.
Is one of them being absurdly optimistic, or is the other super reactive?
#RobertTaylor #MargDowney #TheNewsreader
#GeoffWalters often tries to take a halfway bet in many situations in his life, including in remaining optimistic for matters relating to his daughter.
He didn’t yet know, but this was about to be challenged, as he came to face a confronting fear.
#RobertTaylor #TheNewsreader
Now; more than ever, #EvelynWalters and #GeoffWalters need to be on the same page in their parenting. Kay is not herself, and they are losing their daughter before their eyes. Evelyn isn’t sure what more she can do. She needs Geoff to address it.
