| How did your
career in acting start and did you have any roles before
Home and Away? |
|
My Mum and Dad placed me in an agency when
I was younger. After going through audition processes I
worked on a few commercials, music clips and played a minor
role in a film. Then came the opportunity to audition for
Home and Away. |
|
|
| How did you
land the role in Home and Away? |
|
I auditioned for the Sutherland family
and received a call back to read for Jade. After that I
got the part and am loving it more and more each day. |
|
|
| Did you watch
Home and Away previously, and how did it feel joining an
established cast? |
|
I used to watch the show every now and
again, but going to work on it was a surreal feeling at
first. Soon enough those feelings eased and I felt like
a part of the Summer bay team. |
|
|
| Is there a
special relationship between yourself, Christie, Tammin,
Michael and Paula, as you all play(ed) a family on screen? |
|
Absolutely! When you play a family on television,
especially when you all start at the same time, you start
a family type relationship. With the amount of time you
spend with them shooting, they begin feel like your second
family. |
|
|
| Is there any
of Kate Garven in Jade's character, or vice-versa? |
|
No not really... I suppose the only similarities
are my looks. |
|
|
| Were you happy
with the change in Jade's character when she decided to
live life to the fullest in 2002? Did it make Jade more
fun to play? |
|
It gave Jade a fresh and more energetic
approach to things in the show. Some of the things she did
wouldn't be things that I would agree on personally, but
unfortunately I don't have much say in what Jade does. She
is Jade and I am Kate. |
|
|
| Are you able
to, or have you ever suggested storylines for Jade? |
|
I can suggest possible storylines to our
writers, whether they think it is a good move for the character
in the overall big picture of the show is another story.
They write a story that will connect with people in the
same age bracket as the character. They are always open
to ideas, which is great! but most times I have to go with
what is written. |
|
|
| What does
the future hold for Kate Garven? Do you have any interesting
plans? |
|
I might stick around the bay for a little
while longer. As for plans, I'm getting married next year...
that is the only plan I'm looking forward to so far. |
