Here's something for the Rove fans -

Belinda Emmett, wife of Rove McManus, dies of cancer

3.30pm Saturday November 11, 2006

Actor Belinda Emmett, wife of television personality Rove McManus, has died after a long battle with cancer.

She died at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, early this morning, with her husband by her side.

Emmett was 32.

"It is with great sadness we advise that Belinda Emmett's battle with cancer has ended," Emmett's publicist and friend Maria Farmer said in a statement.

Emmett grew up on NSW's Central Coast and got her acting break when she appeared on popular long-running soap Home and Away, playing Rebecca Fisher, between 1996 and 1999.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 at the age of 24.

The actor successfully underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumour, followed by six weeks of radiotherapy.

In 2001, Emmett was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer.

The papers say Rove is absolutely devistated.. Poor guy.. She was still so young...

Unfortunately Rove has announced that no new shows will be produced for quite a while. Gutted

I know

It sucks. Another article I read went on about how they were absolutely hopelessly devoted to each other, and were planning on starting a family next year.

It's so sad

This world's a cruel place.

A friend of my sister just died of bone cancer, about the same age too. So very sad to see a person so young be taken. I feelings go out to all her family, friends and loved ones. RIP

poor guy. nobody deserves to have that happen to them

Yeh often the worst things happen to the best people. A friend of mine died earlier this year of cancer, aged 26. He won the first battle a few years ago, and made a full recovery. Alas a totally different cancer got him in the end.

It could not have happened to a better/nicer/sincere person.
