Speaker 4 (01:03):
The room just erupted. You were so loved?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Did you feel then? How do you feel now?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Look? I felt I felt wonderful. You know it looks gosh.
How do you put into words something like this. It's
lovely to be appreciated. You guys know this. You know
what it feels like. And it's but it's more than that.
It's a sense of love and friendship and camaraderie. And
(01:36):
you know you were behind me and my daughter last night, Amanda,
and you look sensation or manner, say, and I love
that suit so much I might steal it from you
one day. Look, I just it was wonderful. It was lovely.
I was sitting next to I think she was. Her
(01:58):
name was, Oh Dear God in Heaven. I didn't hardly
drink much anyway. She was some MP and I think
it was for Communications and Arts or something like that.
She was so lovely everybody, you know, it was fun.
I wasn't with my Home and Away crew because they
were at other tables, but you know, I could hear
(02:20):
their support. I could hear them yelling every time I
was on stage. And I looked at her as she
was weeping. And Shane Whitnington, my beautiful friends, all of
my friends. I was so just everybody, darling. It was great.
Am I making sense.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You are and you know what I love.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You're on the cusp what I loved.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
As you also said that Free to Wear TV is
such a big deal. You said, yes, this show is
a soap, but it gives austraight in actors and crew,
so much work and how proud you should be of
our industry.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Absolutely, and and I'm not a political person. I wish
I was. I would have loved to have got up
and said something about Palestine, but I'm not that sort
of a person. I don't know enough about anything to
start talking on those levels. But what I do know
is that, you know, freeedomware television has been thirty three
(03:16):
years in my life and as I said last night,
it provides so much work to so many Australians. It's
such a great export and we shouldn't pooh pooh anything
that has lasted for thirty eight years. And you know what,
the response I got was very validating because you know
(03:37):
the thing said before, and you get people you know,
but you know, when you're making that kind of you're
just making a lot of bloody television and people are
invested in the characters. And you know, in Lockdown we
were considered as essential service because we helped people with
(04:00):
their mental health. There was a sense of normality with
that show being on, and with Home and Away being
on there it's a sense of regularity. And tonight at
seven o'clock I can put on my soap and watch
it and feel like there's a normalness in the world.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Do you feel and that makes do you feel in
with now that you've won the Gold LOGI? Do you
feel that, oh, maybe maybe Irene can come back. You know,
maybe Irene's time is.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Not over as it goes.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Maybe it's not over. We're not presuming that you can't
get but you know you're leaving the show. This is
the start of your last two weeks. Maybe is it
too late going?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I always say never say never, okay, And I've got
my publicists sitting here, and if I talk about the
exit storyline, he'll throw a LOGI at me too. It'll
be my own LOGI. Yeah, killed by my own logo.
But I I for me it was time. That doesn't
(05:03):
mean to say I won't go back to tell you again.
But now with the Grandparents Club through ring, you know
that that'll take me up to mid late October, and
then I think I'm going overseas to do some appearances
to tie in with Irene's leaving the show, so it
keeps on keeping on. But I think it was just
(05:27):
her time.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I really You also suggested that maybe you could cut
the head off and put your own ashes in when
you've passed away.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I think it's a great idea, do you not think
I think way back somebody said I'll turn it into
a bong Martin won't. I won't be doing that, but
I quite I thought. I looked at it. I thought,
you know, when I die, maybe it's my my ashes
(05:55):
are in there and I'll bequeathed, you know, my logan
to Clancy and she can say there's mum's logi and look,
there's mum.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I didn't realize that the logi was actually hollow, but
actually that's euphemism for ever.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well. No, but I think we'd have to hollow it
out because bloody about one point six kilo. You've already
made it. Good lord, somebody told me, well Lin, thinking
on the scale.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You did so well. We're so proud of you. I
didn't see your thanks for me for the encouragement, but
I didn't actually watch it, but I'm sure it will.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
No. No, I absolutely thanked you in the in the
media room, Darling, I said, good saving, thank you, love,
thank you.
