Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's it fitsy and with her with Katelyn ki podcast,
that's a good Do.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know who one of our golden girls are on
this show and that is Maggie Dent. We love getting
Maggie on the show and we actually she's just done
a thirty six months podcast actually great podcast, and Maggie
was on there talking about parenting.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I think every time Maggie comes.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
On our show, you walk away feeling a little bit
better about your parenting.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Right, you do fits And I was, I mean, I've
listened to that podcast of course, and everything Maggie has
to say. For one, she makes you feel okay about
what you're doing, and she also makes you understand clearly
why your kids are behaving the way they are.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I saw a grab yesterday from her made me feel
better because apparently, even though you know when your kids
come home and they're mad with you and cranky and
gross and you just want to go, I'll get a
better housemate than this.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
That is a good thing.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
That is a good thing because what it means is,
according to Maggie, is that you are their safe space
and they can be little rats around you. So even
that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Mm hmm. That was the grab I'm just.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
About to play for you, actually, because because no, no,
don't be silly, because my wife is going through this
at the moment, and she's really really upset with the
way the boys come home from school and they're grumpy
and they have a go at her about this.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And if you're feeling like this at.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The moment as a parent and the kids coming home
from school, have a listen to what Maggie says about that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Here they come home and give you a double triple
surf of yuck that's come from school.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
Yeah, there wears mother and when you wears nag and
slammed doors and roll eyes. And you could take that
deeply personally as a sign that you your child is
a disrespects or human you're not doing it.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
What do I do? Do I discipline that?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And I'm going to say, no, that's a beautiful sign
that you're the safest person in their world, that they
love you the best, and that they can project what
they're holding in, because the more they release that, the
less like it. It gets to a really critical point
where they drown in us.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I love that, isn't it? And you know what, my
I showed my.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Wife that video, and yesterday Hue came home and had
to go aut mom about what was in the.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Lunch box and you didn't cook this properly.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And there was a moment where she looked at me
and she smiled, and I think that it's a great
you know what. She just feels safe now she knows
it's out of love. And Hue's had a go at
her and he's come home from school and he's all grumpy,
and now she's turned that into a positive.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I thought was weird.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You've got to go and have a listen to this podcast.
Excuse me thirty six months. But Maggie also goes on
fits to talk about and my boys are a little
bit younger than yours. But the thing that they do
is all they want to do when they get home
is fight and play.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
With their doodles.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Right, that's what boys want to do. And why that
is is because it's what they can't do at school.
So when they get home, all they want to do,
Like Maggie's talking about the attitude they give their parents
because at school, they're not allowed to carry that attitude
and they're not allowed to fight at school, and they're not.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Allowed to play with their doodle at school.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
And also they've seen, they've seen what their dad does
when he's at home and mode monkey.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
See monkey do so when they arrive home and I'm
just on the couch just having.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
A little you're mad if you don't fiddle.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Anything around school.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I mean, it's just they treat us very badly.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I need to play this young girl, she's around about
eight years of age. This is over in the UK. See,
so she's got the thick accent here. So as she
starts by saying that she's she's on the way to
school with mum, right, and it's a disaster because mum's
making her go to school.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
She's breathing very heavily. It's a long way to walk
to school. So mum starts filming. Listen to this.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Do you know why I'm making this private course?
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Why?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Because you're made me.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I'm gonna go on because cord, Yeah, you made me
come over.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
But it's got a water bottle, it's got a knackle.
You understand.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
What kiloaves away? Really?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, it's like a backpack in a butt back.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Hey look, I'm know maggident, but I've got a parenting
hack there. The water bottles are very heavy, Yeah, they are.
What do you do so very early on, because I've
got three kids that you know, go to school and
have that you have to take water, You send them
with it. You teach them very early on where the
water is at school, and you send them with an
empty one, and then they fill it at school and
(04:51):
and drink it, and then at the end of the
day they empty it out and they take the empty horse,
and then they're not carrying many kilos.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Chrissy, that is a great tidbit. I love that.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
The other one that happened to me the other day,
Swanny was ted he's walking home from school. But it
was also the day when you got to school and
you worked out what instrument you were going to be
a sign that you had to learn. Oh yes, and
he wanted to do the drums. I think anyway, it
didn't go It didn't go to plan. So when he
got home, knocked on the door and said, hurry up,
I can't hold this much longer.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I opened the door and he said, this glockenspiel is
really heavy.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It sits in Whip with Bridgie podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Do you know what I'm over this? I'm not happy,
and we need to ask it if this was her
decision or not.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But after thirty three years, Irene is leaving Summer Bay.
Lynn mcgrangeer, welcome to the show. You beautiful, Thank you,
gird you are a queen.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Hey Lynn, what do you do on a day like
today when it's bucketing down and you might have a story?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Well, you just you turn up and you just hope
that there's a break in the weather. Is this a song,
isn't it? Yes, you hope that there's a break in
the weather. And if there's not, then you know, they
might say, well, well we'll pick this up, we'll pick
this up. But Linn, you can wait till the death.
You can wait till they finish because we need to
(06:21):
shoot your scene. And then you wait and it doesn't
clear and you go home, oh my god, and then
they pick it up down the track. It's just one
of those things where we're a slave to the weather.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Thirty three years.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Can you tell us some of the sayings that Irene
has brought the Summer Bay over thirty three years?
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Well, she says, girly a lot, she says, flipping a lot,
flipp and heck, park your bum Girly, you and me
need to have a chin wag.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh god, it's good. I can't believe I get to
sit a meter from you and witness that live. And
that's special for me is that that's.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Not written in the script though you would have originally, Kate,
that would have been at libbing for you and you
just talking.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Would look.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Somebody said to me, way back, way way back back
when they were still when Moses was playing full back
for Egypt, when I first started on the show, that
you know too, in a show like this, if you
if you you know, have an idea about your character,
(07:29):
then then run with it. And if they don't like it,
you'll be out the door real quick. But if they
do like it, the writers will kind of follow you.
And this is what has happened with Irene. And I'm
sure you know Ray has done exactly the same thing
with his Flamans and his strike me owns and all
of that. And both of us love the idea that
(07:49):
we're keeping the Australian vernacular alive because we're so americanized,
you know, with television and whatnot. But I decided that
I would start putting in some irenisms. That's what they've become.
And in fact, my mom and dad spoke like that
and so I kind of I didn't have to go
(08:12):
looking for it. I'll still say things to someone in
the younger person in the cast and they'll look at
me like I'm thin and go what does that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
You know?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
And I'm like you for real because it's part of
me out.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We don't want you to go.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And I know when the announcement was made, Australia threw
the hands in the air and said, what have we
got to live for now? When it comes to the
departure of Irene, how.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Is she going out?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Do you get to choose that? And what are some
of the ideas throwing around?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Yes, well, my initial thought was, can maybe she can
just get hit by a bus outside the diner because
it's quick, it's done, and I don't know, maybe she's
not really dead. And then at the funeral she's let
me out out flipping it.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
Is what everyone walks over to you and just sinks
the booty in just to see if you And then
what about blow up a few gas bottles or something
at the caravan pires we've.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Done that, we've done or what do you do differently? Well,
I can. I just tell you that I had an
idea when I decided that the time was right, I
had this idea. But what I think it's a terrific storyline.
And I went to the writers and normally they're like,
quick lock the door, she comes. Last time she came,
(09:40):
she wanted Irene to get abducted by aliens.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
It's just.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
It's not a valid storyline. But this time they heard
me out and they went, that's great. In all these years,
I should have been in the writing department.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
No, but they're run with do you have to though?
Like or can you leave Summer Bay?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Well, this is what I can't tell you. You see,
because it is very the storyline, and once you get
into the storyline you'll understand why. But I can't say
anything because you know, we want people to watch and
we want people to be invested in iron story, and
God willing they were, they will be. And I think
(10:25):
I think it's a valid storyline. I think it's very pertinent,
and I think people will travel the journey.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Could could just quickly could remember neighbors, Madge came back
as a ghost.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean, could like kiel you.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Off and.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I come back like I could morph through the white
goods like Bobby did back in the day when Alsa
was having issues and Bobby morphed through the white I
mean that she did, She absolutely did. But no, it's
been done. That's just we can't go back.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Sorry, Lynn, can I can? I ask? Like you talk?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
He talks about Neighbors there in the great marathon that
has been Neighbors, Home and Away, right and Neighbors has
it's gone that it came back, and I think it's
stopped again, gone again, it's gone again.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
But not I think they're still filming up until in
the middle.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Do you put Home and Away success down to look
like why is it the ultimate?
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I think it's got primarily to do with the writing.
Then I think it's got to do with their their
turnover of characters. But they're hanging on to to poor
characters or older characters and letting the young ones come
and go. They've gone a bit, you know, off piece
a couple of times. I think Neighbors away with storylines,
(11:52):
But then the very clever writers have brought it back,
and I think that the characters that they get on
the show, you know, a new generation of people or
even an old generation who have come back to the
show will get invested in them. So I think it's
a great mixture of the cleverness of the writers and
(12:12):
of the casting and and all of those things, and
hanging on two core characters.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Is there a big goodbye party? I mean with Channel sevens,
it'll be at a fish and chip shop.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
At a beach.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I can hear you. Look there we are. They are
throwing me a shindy. They they are, and I'm very excited.
Now obviously I can't say when and where, otherwise we'll have,
you know, another trive or ten people turning up, and
we can't have that. Now they're throwing me a bit
(12:48):
of a shindy, which is lovely because normally we do
it on set. But they've decided not to do it
from the last scene because you know, I can talk
under wet concrete. The people who get up and talk
and say goodbye to me, they can talk under wet concrete,
will be there till, you know, next Christmas. So they've
decided to do it on the night and there'll still
(13:10):
be people come.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Down kind invite us, and of course Richard, who's not
here right now, she will be there I loved. She'll
get involved, will be there. We might shoot a bit
of behind the scenes stuff for Lind's wrap party, a
couple of grogs you think fits.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
You'll have a bit more time to go watch the
Swanees now as well.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Absolutely will because I can't go this Saturday because we're
filming on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
That's why she's the best.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
I'm so disappointed because it's a rematch, isn't it of
the Grand Final, which we will say. Nothing that's not
a good storyline, doesn't talk about the GFS.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Football team dying.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I don't know what you're more nervous about finishing up
on Summer Bay or the game this weekend. But it's
not over for us. This is not the last chat
that where I know, no, no, you are one of
our favorites.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Lend.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
We absolutely adore you. And you don't realize like I mean,
and I mean we've had Kate on this show. You
know Kate as well, and she talks about you come
into people's lives. I don't think you understand this as much,
but you know, like Tom's wife, Inger is addicted to
home in.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
A way every night every night.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I love it what you've played a huge part in
people's lives, Lynn, and we love you for that.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Thank you so much. FITZI and I have loved and
I want people to realize how blessed I feel that
I have spent thirty three years or you know best,
part of half my life doing home and away playing
Irene and she has brought so much joy to me
(14:51):
and my environment. My dear dear friends that I have
made on the show have brought me so much joy.
And the public and the fans and all. That's so,
I don't want to be little in any way, but
I just want people to understand that for me, the
time is right, while I've still got my marbles and
and I can still walk upstairs, I want to go
(15:13):
back and do some theater.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And it's that's wow, You're a superstar. Well proud.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I love you.

just talking.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Would look.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Somebody said to me, way back, way way back back
when they were still when Moses was playing full back
for Egypt, when I first started on the show, that
you know too, in a show like this, if you
if you you know, have an idea about your character,
(07:29):
then then run with it. And if they don't like it,
you'll be out the door real quick. But if they
do like it, the writers will kind of follow you.
And this is what has happened with Irene. And I'm
sure you know Ray has done exactly the same thing
with his Flamans and his strike me owns and all
of that. And both of us love the idea that
(07:49):
we're keeping the Australian vernacular alive because we're so americanized,
you know, with television and whatnot. But I decided that
I would start putting in some irenisms. That's what they've become.
And in fact, my mom and dad spoke like that
and so I kind of I didn't have to go
(08:12):
looking for it. I'll still say things to someone in
the younger person in the cast and they'll look at
me like I'm thin and go what does that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
You know?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
And I'm like you for real because it's part of
me out.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We don't want you to go.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And I know when the announcement was made, Australia threw
the hands in the air and said, what have we
got to live for now? When it comes to the
departure of Irene, how.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Is she going out?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Do you get to choose that? And what are some
of the ideas throwing around?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Yes, well, my initial thought was, can maybe she can
just get hit by a bus outside the diner because
it's quick, it's done, and I don't know, maybe she's
not really dead. And then at the funeral she's let
me out out flipping it.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
Is what everyone walks over to you and just sinks
the booty in just to see if you And then
what about blow up a few gas bottles or something
at the caravan pires we've.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Done that, we've done or what do you do differently? Well,
I can. I just tell you that I had an
idea when I decided that the time was right, I
had this idea. But what I think it's a terrific storyline.
And I went to the writers and normally they're like,
quick lock the door, she comes. Last time she came,
(09:40):
she wanted Irene to get abducted by aliens.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
It's just.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
It's not a valid storyline. But this time they heard
me out and they went, that's great. In all these years,
I should have been in the writing department.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
No, but they're run with do you have to though?
Like or can you leave Summer Bay?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Well, this is what I can't tell you. You see,
because it is very the storyline, and once you get
into the storyline you'll understand why. But I can't say
anything because you know, we want people to watch and
we want people to be invested in iron story, and
God willing they were, they will be. And I think
(10:25):
I think it's a valid storyline. I think it's very pertinent,
and I think people will travel the journey.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Could could just quickly could remember neighbors, Madge came back
as a ghost.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean, could like kiel you.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Off and.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I come back like I could morph through the white
goods like Bobby did back in the day when Alsa
was having issues and Bobby morphed through the white I
mean that she did, She absolutely did. But no, it's
been done. That's just we can't go back.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Sorry, Lynn, can I can? I ask? Like you talk?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
He talks about Neighbors there in the great marathon that
has been Neighbors, Home and Away, right and Neighbors has
it's gone that it came back, and I think it's
stopped again, gone again, it's gone again.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
But not I think they're still filming up until in
the middle.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Do you put Home and Away success down to look
like why is it the ultimate?
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I think it's got primarily to do with the writing.
Then I think it's got to do with their their
turnover of characters. But they're hanging on to to poor
characters or older characters and letting the young ones come
and go. They've gone a bit, you know, off piece
a couple of times. I think Neighbors away with storylines,
(11:52):
But then the very clever writers have brought it back,
and I think that the characters that they get on
the show, you know, a new generation of people or
even an old generation who have come back to the
show will get invested in them. So I think it's
a great mixture of the cleverness of the writers and
(12:12):
of the casting and and all of those things, and
hanging on two core characters.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Is there a big goodbye party? I mean with Channel sevens,
it'll be at a fish and chip shop.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
At a beach.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I can hear you. Look there we are. They are
throwing me a shindy. They they are, and I'm very excited.
Now obviously I can't say when and where, otherwise we'll have,
you know, another trive or ten people turning up, and
we can't have that. Now they're throwing me a bit
(12:48):
of a shindy, which is lovely because normally we do
it on set. But they've decided not to do it
from the last scene because you know, I can talk
under wet concrete. The people who get up and talk
and say goodbye to me, they can talk under wet concrete,
will be there till, you know, next Christmas. So they've
decided to do it on the night and there'll still
(13:10):
be people come.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Down kind invite us, and of course Richard, who's not
here right now, she will be there I loved. She'll
get involved, will be there. We might shoot a bit
of behind the scenes stuff for Lind's wrap party, a
couple of grogs you think fits.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
You'll have a bit more time to go watch the
Swanees now as well.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Absolutely will because I can't go this Saturday because we're
filming on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
That's why she's the best.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
I'm so disappointed because it's a rematch, isn't it of
the Grand Final, which we will say. Nothing that's not
a good storyline, doesn't talk about the GFS.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Football team dying.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I don't know what you're more nervous about finishing up
on Summer Bay or the game this weekend. But it's
not over for us. This is not the last chat
that where I know, no, no, you are one of
our favorites.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Lend.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
We absolutely adore you. And you don't realize like I mean,
and I mean we've had Kate on this show. You
know Kate as well, and she talks about you come
into people's lives. I don't think you understand this as much,
but you know, like Tom's wife, Inger is addicted to
home in.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
A way every night every night.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I love it what you've played a huge part in
people's lives, Lynn, and we love you for that.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Thank you so much. FITZI and I have loved and
I want people to realize how blessed I feel that
I have spent thirty three years or you know best,
part of half my life doing home and away playing
Irene and she has brought so much joy to me
(14:51):
and my environment. My dear dear friends that I have
made on the show have brought me so much joy.
And the public and the fans and all. That's so,
I don't want to be little in any way, but
I just want people to understand that for me, the
time is right, while I've still got my marbles and
and I can still walk upstairs, I want to go
(15:13):
back and do some theater.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And it's that's wow, You're a superstar. Well proud.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
What about What about a meth Lab? In Yabby.
