"Ada Nicodemou has become the latest Home and Away star to back Ray Meagher in the battle for this year&amp;#039;s Gold Logie award. Meagher (Alf Stewart) has been nominated for the prestigious prize alongside Summer Bay colleague Esther Anderson (Charlie Buckton) and a number of other faces from Australian TV. Speaking out in support of Meagher, Nicodemou told TV Week: &amp;quot;He has been an institution in the show and in Australian television. The character of Alf Stewart is known around the world, and I think he deserves to be recognised and win.&amp;quot; The actress, who plays Leah Patterson-Baker, also praised Meagher&amp;#039;s professionalism and caring nature. She said: &amp;quot;He has never been late to work! Ray is really funny, warm and always has a great story to tell. He is an all-round fantastic, lovely guy - he&amp;#039;s like your uncle, husband and best friend rolled into one!&amp;quot; The Logie Awards will be held in Melbourne on May 2.
