Hot on the heels of the announcement that Tim Campbell (Dan) will be hosting the newly revamped Wheel Of Fortune, speculation has risen over the coveted co-host role. Over 700 people have apparently auditioned for the role, with the likes of Lara Bingle, Chloe Maxwell, Lizzy Lovette,Ali Mutch and Gemma Gawned.
But it is one time on-screen wife Holly Brisley that has caught the attention of the casting crew, with some citing that "Brisley is said to have on-screen chemistry with Tim Campbell, no doubt due to their experience on Home and Away." If she is sucessful the starlet will be the third actor in as many months to defect to Nine from Seven, with Tim & Bobby Morley (filming telemovie Scorched) jumping ship after departing from the weeknightly soap.
Is there something in the water in Summer Bay, it seems so if this latest news is anything to go by.

Musicals being all the rage at present, news has reached us that yet another ex Home and Away star is doing well, this time breaking into song. The musical is called Spectacular! Spectacular! is a fairly typical all American story, although it will be shot in Vancouver Canada, and it is basically about a very preppy high school student who will be played by none other than our very own Tammin Sursok, (aka Dani Sutherland) who is part of the school's Spectacular! choir. The group is very poor shape, with all its talent having been poached by a rival squad, or having left to go to Uni. The teenage preppy star sees salvation in a cocky rocker (Canadian Nolan Funk), who reluctantly joins "Spectacular!" to win a money prize that would finance his rock 'n' roll dreams. But the rocker doesn't gamble on falling for the preppy girl. Awwwww, it's a love story too. . And Tammin gets to sing as well. Good luck Tam, from BttB.

Sharni Vinson left Home and Away and the role of Cassie in Australia this week, and flew off to Hollywood straight into the writers strike. However, luck is on her side and the latest news is that she is to star alongside her boyfriend AJ Buckley in a new TV mini series called Scarlet. The series will be released in the USA next month and is being directed by David Nutter, who also directed Jessica Alba on Dark Angel.
Sharni is joining a long line of ex Home and Away'ers who are making an impact in Hollywood. BttB wishes her all the best in this series. If she is good as she was in the HIV story line she will blow their socks off.
