Ralph is enmeshed once more in his love for the beautiful and feisty Meggie Cleary and hers for him. ![]() Not much in the way of politics gets done as Fr. Ralph is ‘banished’ by the Church to Australia once more, supposedly to hold talks with the Australian government about taking in some of the displaced victims of the war. Ralph and the Church somewhat dubiously inherited Mary Carson’s millions and the estate of Drogheda in the original mini-series? Well, now, for using Drogheda money to help the Jews, Fr. He behaves heroically and selflessly and gets no thanks from his superiors for it. Ralph has helped Jews to escape the wrath of Hitler during World War Two, even going so far as to shelter them in the underground caves beneath the Vatican. Dane, who thinks he’s Luke’s son, is happy too to suddenly have a dad, though his desire to be a Catholic or ‘mick’ priest doesn’t sit well with his he-man ‘father.’ Wonder where he gets his priestly leanings, lol…? Justine, who has never really had her mother’s love because she’s ‘only’ Luke’s child, is hostile to Meggie and absolutely determined to become a daddy’s girl straightaway.

Luke O’ Neill comes back, after all these years, at rather an opportune time. Now, Meggie is back home on the family ranch of Drogheda with her two children. Quite the comedown for the lovely daughter of the Cleary clan, masters of Drogheda! All this while Meggie languishes with a family who need a housemaid. Meggie left her he-man husband, sheep-shearer and cane-cutter extraordinaire Luke O’Neill, before Dane was born, because he promised her love and an equal marriage and then fecked off to cut cane and hang out with his boozy, womanising mates. In THE MISSING YEARS, we start off when Dane is about ten and Justine a year or two older. Then, the action rather frustratingly cuts to ‘nineteen years later’ in the plot, when Meggie has two grown-up children a daughter, Justine, by her husband Luke, and a son, Dane, by her beloved Fr. Ralph de Bricassart- yes, he’s a priest!- make love for the first time. In the original show, Meggie Cleary and the long-time love of her life, the handsome Fr. This made-for-television mini-series supposedly fills in the gaps left by the original mini-series, the phenomenally successful THORN BIRDS.
