In 1988 Daphne died in a car accident. Daphne was played by Elaine Smith.

Why did Daphne leave Neighbours?

She gave birth to their son, Jamie (S.J. Dey), in July 1987. That same year, Smith announced her departure from Neighbours. Not wanting to kill off a popular character, the producers sent Daphne to care for her dying father.

Where is Daphne from Neighbours now?

The Scottish-born performer, who rose to prominence as Daphne Clarke during the TV show's hey day, swaps the glamour of TV for a life away from the cameras. The 54-year-old - who has since retired from acting - was recently spotted in Sydney, where she works as a drama teacher in a local secondary school.
