Speaker 1: But I think Pete was threatened, of course.

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Let's put it down to that. But Lynn has a

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: chapter in here that mentions us, and it's we did

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: a radio interview with her. I will read what she

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: says about it. I feel incredibly blessed to say I've

20
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: been I've blissfully gone to work every day feeling confident,

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: proud and all in all so here in my job.

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: That is until twenty nineteen, when I was being interviewed

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: by radio stars Jones in Amanda on WSFM. As far

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: as interviews go, I always love talking to these guys.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: They're clever, funny, incredibly decent human beings. After decades of

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: answering questions like how does it feel to be the

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 2: longest running female for cast member and do you still

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: love being on the show, I knew this little chat

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: could be done in my sleep. I think I might

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: have been simultaneously cooking breakfast while I chatted. Completely out

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: of the blue. Jonesy chimed in with, it's amazing to

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: think that they nearly wrote you out in two thousand

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: and two. I said that, and she writes, I'm sorry

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: what she said. If I'd had a drink in my mouth,

35
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: I'm confident droplets would have been flying through the air.

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: Here's actually what happened. We've found that interview.

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Is it true that in two thousand and two they

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: wanted to write Irene out of the show? Jeez, dh,

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't think.

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: Well, we were told that they were going to write

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: you out, but a new producer came in and said,

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: don't be ridiculous. Okay, well you know more than me

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: and I never knew that.

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god father. And now you've got all these

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: years of anxiety to catch up with I'm going to go.

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: I was feeling perfectly fine, so I spoke to you today.

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: She does sound a bit thrown, doesn't she She wrote

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: that way. She wrote that she phoned a partner straight away,

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: to a partner of thirty six years, and said Paul,

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: and said, we have to thank a woman called Coral

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: for me not being written out. She saved my bacon.

52
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: She says here that apparently there were plans to write

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: Irene out because the producers felt she didn't have anywhere

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: to go and now that her kids were gone. By

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: a stroke of luck, a new script producer by the

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: name of Coral had arrived and was horrified. She pleaded

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: with the producers to let me stay. Instead, she had

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: big plans for Irene. Well, you'd think I would have

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: picked up on this at work through green room chatter.

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: This was literally the first I had.

61
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Heard of it. I've learned. If you were on Home

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: and Away and they said, are you going to go

63
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: on a plane, you're going to a car, or you

64
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: going to walk past and elevator shaft, don't go near them,

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: as if.

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: They would film an episode of someone walking past an

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: elevator shaft where nothing happened.

68
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: Even in home and Away where it's all single foloor buildings,

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: don't go near an elevator shaft.

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Well, we are going to be talking to Lynn on Thursday.

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Jonesy and Amanda's samation
