And Amanda jam Nation.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Where do we start with a fabulous limogranger. She Well,
she finished filming Home and Away earlier this year, after
thirty three years of playing Irene.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
She's up for the Gold LOGI.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
She's one of our favorites, and I am putting money. Well,
a few people here seriously have put money on limited
years gold.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Someone's put the house on you, Linny, I.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Already go that far. No pressure, my dear, everyone's going
to be living in cardboard box.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Young Sean the news reader, he's put some big coin
on you, and he's got a little baby that's just
been born.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Baby baby. That's how sure a bit you are?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
By the way, I'm great, guys.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I'm a little exhausted because I'm rehearsing six days a
week at the moment.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Rehearsing for a show called Grandparents.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Yes, us with the Grandparents Club. So we did the
Grandparents Club last year. We're doing Cruising with the Grandparents
Club this year. Same cast, same fabulous musical director John Field,
different right, and this time we've got Richard Tullock, who
is probably most famous for bananas in pajamas and hating
Alison Ashley. Oh yeah, but almost a completely new script
(01:33):
set on a cruise ship, and it's so much fun.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But shit, some days I feel old.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Are you finding a different rhythm to the day to
your day after all those years of the filming, the
early starts, all of that, did it take all to
get used to a different rhythm?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Look, that's a good question, Amanda. I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
I had a bit of a break and I think,
you know, I've got the gypsy and my soul, so
I'm kind of I've always changed things up and done
things differently. And you know, one when I was on
Homer's I'd get up at you know, four o'clock one morning,
and then the next day I wouldn't need to be
at work till two in the afternoon. So there was
(02:14):
never really a set you know, schedule, per se. And
this is just you know, three weeks of solid rehearsing
with the Grandparents Club, loving every minute of it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But yeah, it's it's great. Are you a grandparent?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, no acting there?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But how old your daughter? She's thirty four? Clancy.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
If you're listening, she's thirty four. But see I didn't
have clancy until I was thirty eight. The day she
was born, the day before I turned thirty eight. It's
people out there doing the maths now I can hear them.
And you're safe in this room.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, so what are you?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And so I think in her head and people are
having their babies late my first thirty nine, there you go,
there you go, and I know, you know, people like
Sonja Krueger, lovely I want to say Effie, but of
course her real name Marry Christens. They were up near
fifty and that is extreme true, but it's doable. And
(03:21):
I think that's in her head. And look now it's
her life. It's their life. You're not.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You're not desperate to be putting a baby on your head.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well and not saying that the way my sister, My
sister's been hammond.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
She's hammered.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
She's got two under, two grandchildren two and under, and
and my my lovely niece works at from their place
in a basement is the office. So she's now a sweach.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I mean, what's happened to you?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Let's talk about Homer's as you call that's what we
say in the trade, Homers, Homers, that's what people in
the trade call home and away. So your character leaves
in August, that's correct, So it wouldn't be like home
and away?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Are you getting blown up?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
He's there? Get hit by a bus? Does a river
boy attack you?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
What? You fall down? And it won't be an elevator
shaft because there's no elevators in home?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
A sinkhole? No, I just said it.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Could be look jonesy, you know DM. Well, I could
tell you, but they don't have to kill you, and.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't care to see.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Actually, well not not really, No, I'm I'm usually pretty good.
And well, no, that's not entirely true, because when I
get told to, like when I knew about the logis
was tought because they have to ask you if you
want to be you know, are you happy to be nominated?
I went, hell, yeah, you know, I've done most other
things in my life. I'll give it a red hot goer.
(04:51):
And they said, now you can't tell anyone. I went, Okay,
can I tell Paul? They said, yes, you can tell Paul,
and then he overseas yeah he knows this, but the
publicist doesn't I was overseas and I can tell my
best friends in York. They're not going to tell anyone.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And I did. Then I thought, I can tell my
cousins in Amersham.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
What about the one in the basement in the sweatshop.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
They don't speak English, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I bet Paul's getting a lot of pressure about how
sad the home and away.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, yeah, well he do you know what he knows?
But and so and so does Clancy. To be fair,
but they're both very storm you know. They they're good.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
They I Reckon, if we spend another three minutes, you
would blab it. I Reckon does an enigmatic radio DJ
road in the town and he's Harley Davidson and.

Happen And I just couldn't resist his charm. If that's
going to happen.
