00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 4: do if someone didn't eventually stop.

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to be stuck at you

17
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 3: all day.

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:42,919

23
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: You were trying to give the I guess as an

24
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: actor that you talked.

25
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: A lot lead you said, yeah, she never shut up. Yeah, yeah,

26
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: so she did talk very different to EIGHTA eight is

27
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 4: so quiet.

28
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: I know you were you supposed to be on as

29
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: a regular character for this long?

30
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: Like?

31
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: What was what did you think it would be?

32
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: I was very lucky enough to be written into the show,

33
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 4: Like so the writers from another show that I was

34
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: working on wrote this character for me, and they asked

35
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 4: me to be long running. But I was only going

36
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: to come on for six months. I didn't want to

37
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 4: do any longer twenty five years later because I didn't

38
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 4: know whether I'd like it, and I just didn't. I'd

39
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: come off another soap and I hated it, So I thought, look,

40
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: I'm just going to do six months and then move

41
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: on to something else.

42
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: So what did you hate about it?

43
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: Breakers was just a really hard show to work on

44
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: for many, many different reasons. It was nothing like Home

45
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: and Away. There was sort of a lot of stuff

46
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: behind the scenes that was working.

47
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 5: He Fledger. Was he in Breakers?

48
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: No Home and Away?

49
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

50
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah for a second, yeah yeah yeah yeah he

51
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: was Home and Away. Yeah.

52
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: But I Home and Away is very different to anything

53
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: that I've ever worked on, and everyone says that it's

54
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: really special.

55
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: It's a really lovely place.

56
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: It does feel like a family, and you don't know

57
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: that until you're there.

58
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Well, I've also love looking at your storyline. Is I

59
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: think you've been proposed to thirteen times?

60
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: Really that is fantastic.

61
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: But your recent wedding obviously is to your real life partneryeah.

62
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: And how does that feel on a day like that?

63
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Is it just filming or does it feel romantic?

64
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: Well, we went together then, but you can't.

65
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: Help obviously, it's a bit of a sparky spark.

66
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: No.

67
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: I mean, look, James and I have known each other

68
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: for like nearly thirty years, so we've always gotten on

69
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: really well and we've always worked really well together.

70
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, it was just such a nice

71
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: thing to do.

72
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: And I guess it is a you know, whenever you're

73
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 4: filming weddings, you know it is a beautiful, lovely thing

74
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: to do, but.

75
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: It feels like that it's not broken up into components,

76
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: so you don't get a sense of it.

77
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: No, we does feel like that.

78
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: And also because we were all the way and we're

79
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: in this beautiful location and you were in this amazing dress.

80
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: But look, by the third day you're feeling pretty crap

81
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: because it's really hot, there's flies, there's you know, it

82
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 4: was a real bride.

83
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but it's yeah, well it's not because

84
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: it goes on for three days.

85
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

86
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it is a bit different like an Indian wedding,

87
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: Like an Indian wedding, Yeah, exactly.

88
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: Your share of accidents plane crashes, You've had a bunch

89
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: of plane crashes.

90
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 5: Two plane crashes and one car crash.

91
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: I reckon, it's more than one I've had.

92
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 5: I've been in What about when you were in Pale.

93
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: I've been in Pale.

94
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: Were impaled on.

95
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 5: This wasn't a wedding thing.

96
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Actually we were.

97
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: Going to a wedding.

98
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: We were going to a fence, but it missed all

99
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: the vital organs, right, So I was very lucky.

100
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Do you remember all the storylines or do you have

101
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: bits with someone says, remember when this happen?

102
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: You have no idea, no idea, even the fact that

103
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: you've said there's been two plane crashes.

104
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: I remember. One easy thing to do.

105
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: It's because we've worked so fast.

106
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: You forget a lot of things, like when we have

107
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: to do interviews for storyline based stuff, and because it

108
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: were six months ahead, I have to look at the

109
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: storyline again to remember because I forget and I think

110
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 4: it's just my age.

111
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. The long the.

112
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: Older you get, you just forget Jones.
