1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Fits in and wipper and one of our favorite characters, Irene,

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: she was back as well.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: We love her, played by Lynn mcgrid.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Does she joined? When do you find out what the

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: year looks like? Do they tell you in blocks or

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: you get the whole year twenty twenty one here's the storyline.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not, and particularly with obviously last year and

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: all the hiccups. You can take the walk up the

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: stairs to the writer's room and you can sit down

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: with Louise or with our producers Lucy or Julie, and

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 3: you can say what's in store for my character or

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 3: you can say I have an idea for my character. Now,

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: last time I did that, I walked up the stairs

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: and I've found out that I was going to be

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: up on a murder charge.

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: And that was when before you've got the door, Yes,

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: and that.

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: Was when I found out that my charge, the lovely

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: Courtney Miller who plays Bella, was being groomed online and

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: I walked in and she was being attacked by this

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: Tommy guy. I just got back from Jasmine and Jasmine's wedding,

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: dressed to the night and then I find.

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Myself Irene sober and alcohol and she's.

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: Recovering alcohol, so she can't drink unless she's cross fallen

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: off the world. But I walked in next minute, I'm

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: bludging in the sky with an empty champagne bottle that

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: just happened to be there.

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: And I don't know why, because but do they give

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: you that whole storyline when you walk in? Did they

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: get each character? Do they book you in? Come in?

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: This is unknown?

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just go hi, how are you going, Louise?

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: And you go, hi, Oh, we've got some interesting stuff

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: coming up.

35
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh god, here we go again.

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: With the voice of reason. Though Irene isn't she? I

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: mean everyone goes back to Irene's house for advice.

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's her whole, you know, rais Detra,

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: it's her whole, kind of super objective because she was

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: such an awful mother, such a bad person, a terrible alcoholic,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: and even now when she falls off the wagon.

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: I slapped Johnny Ruffo across.

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: The mush and there were people queued up behind me.

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: We know you keep in touch with Johnny.

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: How's it going, darling? Funny? You should ask.

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: I actually received a phone call from him on Friday night.

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 3: It was so lovely. Obviously we're in touch. But he's

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: been going through treatment, it's not no secret. And he

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: sounded really full of life. He really sounded in a

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: good place. And I believe he's at the end of

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: the current treatment and we're definitely going to catch up

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: in the next few weeks.

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: And you know, God.

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Bless him all the time.

55
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: Thirty three in March. I mean it just SU's amazing,

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: God willing he will get through this about as he

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: did the last time.

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, well, you're just talking about Irene before

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: and how she's never kissed out, but she's ever been

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: married on the show.

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: Look she she was, she's had a little pillar. She

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: doesn't murder her husband's or killer husband's like like Leah does. Sure,

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: Lia's the resume widow like I have. I have a

64
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: in my house in the beach house. I have a

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: dead shelf, which is people who have come and lived

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: with me who have sadly passed away.

67
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: It's about good half a dozen or not. But Leah has.

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: Like all her husbands up on the mantelpiece that have

69
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: either died, you know, died.

70
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: But how come they won't give you a romantic storyline?

71
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: Well they have in the past. See I don't want

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: to sound boring, but the thing is Irene has a

73
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: certain role to play within the Bay and that role

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: doesn't involve midnight passes on the.

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Well, you know, let's change that. Why you I think

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: this is the year that Irene needs you. You need

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: your Scott and Charlene moment.

78
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say no as long as he was a

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: nice person and a good sword. If I've got to

80
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: play tonsil hockey with someone on national television, give.

81
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Me a character, any character you want at all?

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: Character or actor? No character or yeah, Colin Firth.

83
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: That's going to be hard to do.

84
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: That would be very nice.

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: That's on.

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: That's in Summer by Shane Withington Lovely.

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Who does Shane play?

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: Shane plays John Palmer and they have Irene and John

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: have a strange and wonderful relationship. He's strange and Irene's wonderful.

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: But so okay, we're good mates, so it could develop.

91
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Okay, you're just talking about Lucy? Is that Lucy Adario's

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: the producer?

93
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: Lucy is the producer?

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Her number in your phone?

95
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: I think I have.

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Why don't you give her a call? This is the

97
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: year that Irene gets married, has a bit of kissing.

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, I can do that and yeah, all right,

99
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: we're plugged it and ready to go.

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay, you ready to make the call in okay? Good luck?

101
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: Hello Oleen, Hi sweetheart? How are you?

102
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: God?

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: How are you? I'm great, love.

104
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about it over the weekend and everybody,

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: people just keep saying, why can't Irene find love? Would

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 3: be I know this is really random, right, but she said,

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: They all say, oh, we'd love to see Irene happy

108
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: and find love. And so I've kind of been thinking

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 3: about it, and I know I've talked to Shane about

110
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: it too, and we just wondered if there was is

111
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: there any mileage in say, you know, Irene and John's

112
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: relationship just kind of getting a little bit awkward, a

113
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: little bit flirty, a little bit weird, and you know,

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: then they kind of fall for each other, whether it

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: goes anywhere. I just thought, and you know that maybe

116
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: even a wedding that goes horribly wrong or something like that,

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: beautifully right, beautifully right, but then one of us that

118
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 3: have to die after that, So of course they're always

119
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: going white. Doesn't alf and Irene have sex on the

120
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: beach or something ridiculous like that. I know, I know,

121
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: I went. We want people to turn on, not to

122
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: turn off. It's a beautiful sort.

123
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: Of friendship that.

124
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: You know of all the time, and well it's a

125
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: friendship now, but yeah, how friendships.

126
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's not Shane, then maybe we could get

127
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: Colin Firth in just saying.

128
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: That's a joke. I was just stung silence for a minute.

129
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Lucy, it's fits be here. Please can you give Iren

130
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: a wedding?

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry they made me do it.

132
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but it's just been too long and

133
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: we want to see some hot love for Irene.

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: Sorry, Luci, they made me do it. But you know what,

135
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: it's not a bad idea anyway, it's not. They've just

136
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: been banging on about Irine having sex on the beach

137
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: with somebody or other and then they said, why don't

138
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: we ring Lucy and then see if we can get

139
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: a story.

140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: My apologies, darling, but you're a great sport and yes

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: I think it's a great idea. Okay, well, don't speak

142
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: to Louise, and you know I'm careful what you wish.

143
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Love you, darling, thank you for being a good sport.

144
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: She was when we thought about it.

145
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: Good. You know how when things change, there's just like

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: a slow click and all of a sudden there's kind

147
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: of a brush of a hand and it's awkward and

148
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: it's like.

149
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god, my gosh, I don't know, Oh my god.

150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: You guys are obsessed. A drink is it can be

151
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: whatever you doesn't drink.

152
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: It can be whatever you want it to be.

153
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: It's so good to have you back. You are one

154
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: of our favorites on the show Home and Away every

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: night seven o'clock on Channel seven. Love you and thank

156
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: you very much.

157
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: Oh my great pleasure. Sorry Louise. It fits in Whipper
