Speaker 4: I don't, But I love you.
Speaker 1: That's so kind.
Speaker 2: You guys do the occasional reunion, don't you Like you've
Speaker 2: got the past and a bunch of fans that come along.
Speaker 4: We do. We do all of that, which when someone
Speaker 4: spoke to me about it, I don't know about five
Speaker 4: years ago. I was like, I'm not very comfortable with
Speaker 4: the fan thing anyway or the I don't get it.
Speaker 4: And I was like, why would they want to come?
Speaker 4: Why do they want to meet us? I don't get that.
Speaker 4: And then I went and I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4: But I loved it because you get to meet people,
Speaker 4: well we did face to face in the same theater
Speaker 4: or room or paddic and they tell you intimately how
Speaker 4: much the show meant to them. So I just loved it.
Speaker 3: Well, all the episodes are up now on standing. If
Speaker 3: anyone wants to take a trip down memory lane, watch
Speaker 3: McLeod's Daughters. Brady, listen, Mitch adores you, We adore you.
Speaker 3: There literally is not a show that goes by where
Speaker 3: McCloud's Daughters is not brought up.
Speaker 1: We even play do Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2: Actually, Jenna and I a big Cloud's Daughters.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 4: Why is it so? Why?
Speaker 2: I think it just has because I'm from a rural
Speaker 2: area as well, and I just think it has a
Speaker 2: lot of heart to it that shows there's just something
Speaker 2: sentimental about it. And we did a segment where we
Speaker 2: were rating the best TV theme songs. Jenna put Mcloud's
Speaker 2: Daughters forward and everything about.
Speaker 1: It is so nostalgic and lovely to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it is true. I mean we did, you know,
Speaker 4: the truth is. I mean people might say this, but
Speaker 4: we truthfully all put our hearts and souls into that show.
Speaker 4: And I know the show profoundly affected me. Professionally, yes,
Speaker 4: but personally obviously. Now Here I am. I'm a girl
Speaker 4: who grew up in a city, Melbourne and cat.
Speaker 3: All like.
Speaker 4: I do have days where I go, this is so weird.
Speaker 4: But here I am doing this stuff that I did,
Speaker 4: and I would never have predicted it. Ever.
Speaker 2: You've been converted into a real country girl. Can I ask, though,
Speaker 2: why had to leave? Because the show was kind of
Speaker 2: shit after you left?
Speaker 4: Oh? Why did I leave? Because I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4: I was filming till I was nearly eight months pregnant
Speaker 4: with my first son, Otis, and then I was back
Speaker 4: on that set. I was flying to the loan He's
Speaker 4: when he was four weeks olding. Oh my god, like
Speaker 4: first baby, crazy. Yeah, I should have had a maternity leave.
Speaker 4: And then I was back filming sort of when he
Speaker 4: was five weeks old, and we did that for a
Speaker 4: year as a family. But then it was just like
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have gone back so soon booth of it,
Speaker 4: and I think it was just it was just full on.
Speaker 4: And I also, you know what, I wanted to leave
Speaker 4: the show when I still felt so proud and connected
Speaker 4: to it and still loved it. I didn't ever, and
Speaker 4: I was, you know, I was a little bit burnt
Speaker 4: out having had a baby in herd. But there is
Speaker 4: talk that something may happen.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've learned not to get too excited. Every time
Speaker 2: there's rumors of reunion.
Speaker 1: I get all excited.
Speaker 2: But I think now you're are the closest that you've
Speaker 2: actually been right, like they were actually chatting with Channel
Speaker 2: nine about it.
Speaker 4: They are, there's everyone's chatting. So the truth is the
Speaker 4: feature film script has been written and Posey's very you know,
Speaker 4: she posts about this, the creator of the show, Posy
Speaker 4: Graham Evans, and a budget has been done. I don't
Speaker 4: know if that's scared that the Jesus out of her
Speaker 4: or not. So we're getting closer, you know, to it
Speaker 4: actually happening. But to step back into test Mcloud's shoes
Speaker 4: all these years later, I've never done that with a
Speaker 4: character who I'm so intimate with. Of course, it would
Speaker 4: be quite phenomenal. I reckon, I just think it would
Speaker 4: be so interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, fortunately you look exactly the same, so.
Speaker 3: We can start back at her twenty first birthday. A
Speaker 3: great premiere episode. I'd like, Brady, this was amazing. You
Speaker 3: are incredible. I think this is this is a pretty
Speaker 3: good birthday.
Speaker 1: Surprised.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Bridy, my pleasure. Happy, happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: We love you.
Speaker 1: We'll talk soon.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, thank you. Have a great night. It
Speaker 4: looks like you are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we will. We'll have a drink for you,
Speaker 1: see Bridy. Bye, Brady. See what an eye? There we go?
Speaker 1: Guess one done and dust it right to Kata. Were
Speaker 1: you expecting that?
Speaker 2: No, there was not one part of my withan brain
Speaker 2: that thought that Teth macloud was going to pop up
Speaker 2: on the fucking computers.
Speaker 3: I told you I got a black Book of celemn
Speaker 3: Guess I just never use it for the show. I know.
Speaker 1: Isn't just me?
