Andy Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Murmurs Daily Telegraph 18 March 2006 HE played Sally Fletcher's first boyfriend on Home and Away, and now Nick Hardcastle is set to make a Summer Bay comeback. Seven wants to reintroduce Hardcastle's character Tim O'Connell for the first time since he played Kate Ritchie's love interest a decade ago. "At a party recently I was speaking with the show's script producer and he was keen on the idea," Hardcastle said this week. "With Sally's husband dead, I think it's about time Tim got off the bus at Yabbie Creek." But if a TV part doesn't come his way by July, Hardcastle will head overseas to promote himself as a singer. He's also releasing his first solo single, 4 Letter Word on March 20. "If by the end of this financial year I don't have a major role in a television series, I will go overseas," he said. "But, the script producer of Home and Away is really into the idea of my return and I think when you look at the industry in Australia and the culture of television, a show like that is the best opportunity I could have at the moment."
myken Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 First boyfriend? She was with both Gus and Jack before him, in 1995/96, and Michael also caught her and Jack in bed together. Has the producers forgotten about that, or has the producers changed, so they don`t know much about the past of the show? I can`t say I`m very interested in seeing Tim back in the bay. I rembember he and Sally split up because he was so jealous of her previous relationships, so it will be weird if he suddenly was to turn up now, 8 years later.
leaglelou Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I'm excited!! I loved Tim, and was so upset when the writers turned him into a jealous freak. I think it would be fun to see where this will go!
joey-lee Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Tim was definitely Sally’s first LOVE. Sure she’d had previous boyfriends, but the relationship with Tim lasted months and he was the first guy she really did love, he was also the first guy she had sex with… Id be interested in how he was introduced, it would/could be believable he had never gotten over her, he was in his early 20’s when he and Sally were together, and obviously loved her very much, in his last scene he was pleading for Sally to forgive him as he couldn’t live without her…etc But if his jealousy and controlling behaviour is forgotten about and he becomes a regular cast member I’m not sure Id be keen on it… unless of course he is a regular for a year and during that time controls Sally subconsciously in a complicated psychological mind game…
Taft Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I thought this article would be about Mullett.
leaglelou Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 He was only about 16/17 when he left so maybe they bring up the jealousy thing as him just being young and now he's older he's grown up alot from the experience and changed. Maybe she sees him again while she's holidaying in Italy.
joey-lee Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 He was only about 16/17 He was definitely older than 16/17 when he left - he was in his early 20's...
AngelRose Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Hang on; Flynn's hardly cold in Aus & not even dead in the UK! Have the character return if they wish but there'd be mutiny IF they hook Sally up again too soon!
Cat123 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Oooh. Didn't watch him in it before but it's still cool!
