Is Packed To The Rafters set to return to our TV screens?

Packed To The Rafters, the beloved family drama which premiered in 2008 and starred Rebecca Gibney and Erik Thomson, is possibly set to return to our TV screens.

While it’s been rumoured for years, Erik – who played the patriarch of the family, David Rafter – recently opened up to TV Week that a reunion could be on the cards.

“I think we’re all quite keen to do a reunion show,” the 51-year-old actor admitted about the Channel Seven drama that ran for six seasons.

“We haven’t officially been approached to do anything, but it would be good to somehow put something together,” Erik added.

Hugh Sheridan (who played Ben Rafter), Rebecca Gibney (Julie Rafter), Erik Thomson (Dave Rafter) and Jessica Marais (Rachel Rafter).

The actor’s on-screen wife and co-star, Rebecca Gibney – who played Julie Rafter – has also spoken in the past about getting the cast back together for a reunion, particularly her on-screen daughter, Jessica Marais, who played Rachel Rafter.

The 53-year-old actress said, “I’d love to work with Jess again. Watch this space.”
