Offspring cast: Where are they now?

It’s hard to believe it’s only been three years since we said goodbye to the quirky Proudman family and friends of Offspring.

First appearing on our screens in 2010, the contemporary drama instantly captured our hearts to become on of the most popular series of the decade – with multiple TV WEEK Logie and AACTA awards to prove it.

Bundle of anxious energy, 30-something obstetrician, Nina, was a loveable mess. And, she was considered the most normal of her fabulously dysfunctional family – Billie, Jimmy, Darcy and Geraldine.

Then there was Nina’s colleagues, just as chaotic and loveable as her family.

We laughed, we cried and we were hooked for seven long years.

So where are the beloved characters now? We investigate below.

1

Nina Proudman – Asher Keddie

THEN

Since playing Nina, the character Asher has become so well known for, the actress has made an effort to pursue very different roles.

“Offspring was a fantastic experience; it was a true gift, and I do miss Nina, but I’m moving towards work that’s moving towards me; I’m hungry for knowledge about global issues,” she recently told TV WEEK.

2

NOW

That hunger has seen Asher appear in dramas The Cry, The Hunting, and most recently, Stateless.

3

Billie Proudman – Kat Stewart

THEN

Wild child and older sister, Billie was a force of nature, best known for her erratic plans and rollercoaster relationship with Mick.

4

NOW

Her portrayer Kat has since gone on to appear in Orange Is The New Brown and Network 10 drama, Five Bedrooms.

5

Jimmy Proudman – Richard Davies

THEN

If Billie was the wild child sibling, we’d have to call Jimmy the wayward one.

Always finding himself in sticky situations, what Jimmy lacked in life direction, he made up for with a heart of gold.

6

NOW

Richard has since starred in Netflix series Tidelands alongside Elsa Pataky, Lucy and DiC, Hamish & Andy: True Story and Nine’s new crime series Informer 3838.

7

Geraldine Produman – Linda Cropper

THEN

Matriarch of the family Geraldine wasn’t without her own drama and scandal. A flower child of the 70s, she never quite shook the hippy lifestyle.

8

NOW

Actress Linda Cropper has since popped up on our screens with small roles in Pine gap and How To Stay Married.

9

Darcy Proudman – John Waters

THEN

Smooth-talking real estate agent, Darcy Proudman proved time and time again he had no trouble with the ladies.

Fans were left reeling when he died unexpectedly in the season six premiere, while overseas on a cruise.

10

NOW

John has been busy since his time on Offspring, starring in ABC’s Mystery Road, Rake, The Commons, The End, and yet to be released mini-series Halifax: Retribution with Rebecca Gibney.

11

Cherie Butterfield – Deborah Mailman

THEN

Cherie went from colleague and friend of Nina’s to part of the Proudman family when it was revealed she had an affair with Darcy resulting in a pregnancy and her first child, Ray.

Despite the shock, Cherie became a steadfast part of the family.

12

NOW

Renowned actress Deborah Mailman has since appeared in series, Cleverman, Mystery Road, Jack Irish, Bite Club, and Total Control.

13

Dr. Martin Clegg – Lachy Hulme

THEN

We’ve never had a weird and wonderful character quite like Clegg. The quirky doctor found love with Cherie later in the series in what became on of our favourite, if not unconventional, relationships.

14

NOW

Proving he’s the ultimate acting chameleon Lachy has since starred as Blake Farron in Stan’s hit remake Romper Stomper and black comic inspired comedy, Preacher.

15

Mick Holland – Eddie Perfect

THEN

Mick was the musically talented heartthrob husband of Billie. A rockstar in the making, Mick struggled to make the big time, but when he finally started to gain success it took its toll on their relationship.

16

NOW

Since finishing up on the show, Eddie has turned his focus back to music, working as a composer on Beetlejuice: The Musical on Broadway.

17

Chris Havel – Don Hany

THEN

We were first introduced to Doctor Havel thanks to Nina’s huge crush. Things didn’t quite work out romantically, but the doctor paved the way for her two great loves: Patrick and Harry.

18

NOW

Don has been popping up on our screens since the 1990s and has since starred in series Picnic At Hanging Rock, Doctor Doctor, Secret City and Bad Mothers.

19

Patrick Reid – Matthew Le Nevez

THEN

We’ll never truly recover from the loss of anaesthetist and Nina’s partner, Patrick Reid. The dad-to-be was hit by car in what made one of TV’s most shocking deaths. Initially walking away from the accident, he later suffered a brain injury and died.

20

NOW

After his time on Offspring, Matt returned to LA and landed two major roles in The Widow with Kate Beckinsale and Absentia with Stana Katic.

21

Harry Crewe – Alexander England

THEN

When Nina (and we) lost Patrick, we never though she (we) would love again.

Then, along came Harry. It wasn’t a perfect relationship but Harry was kindhearted and caring, and when Nina fell pregnant for a second time, with Harry the father, it felt right.
