Andy Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Sydney Confidential Daily Telegraph 19 June 2006 *FORMER Summer Bay star Emily Symons will return to Aussie screens next month -- but don't expect too much of the ditziness she made her name on. The actor, who shot to fame as bubbly Marilyn Fisher on the Aussie soapie, now stars in the British show Emmerdale. The program will appear on Foxtel channel UKTV from next month. Having successfully buried her Home and Away past, 36-year-old Symons has spent the last seven years playing Australian bartender Louise Appleton in the high-rating UK soap.

staci Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Has it been 7 years that makes me feel old I remember when she first came into Emmerdale and when she was in Home and Away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 You guys in Australia have missed out on *so* much not having Emmerdale, it's *so* good! I *love* it! And I love the character of Louise....I couldn't imagine her in an Aussie soap, she's the Dales through and through! I wonder what the viewing figures will be like in Australia?

tasha7905 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 It really doesnt seem like 7 years. Emmerdale is fantastic though, Im glad more people are going to see it, it doesnt get all the recognition it deserves here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penie Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Emmerdale is my favourite ENGLISH soap. But it never gets the "Best soap of the year" award. All the other c**** ones get it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-Co Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Gosh, I can't believe she's been in Emmerdale for seven years! I haven't watched Emmerdale regularly for years, though.. I wonder at what stage of the storyline they will pick the show up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 It can't have been 7 years surely? *Does a bit of research* Nope thought not! She first appeared on 20th June 2001 - meaning she's been in it for 5 years and 2 days. She moved over here 7 years ago, but it took a while for her to find work. Even so, it still doesn't seem like 5 years! Si, they're starting showing it from Viv/Donna's double wedding - meaning they'll be only 5 months behind Britain. 34 years to choose from and they start from this year!

*dW* Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have seen so many adds for the show there are a few with her talking about Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it couldn't be that long, Dan - I watched it regularly until at least early 2001 and I know she wasn't in it then! Hmm, starting this year means they'll miss some of the best storylines in my opinion. Maybe they'll show some old episodes as 'specials'? I guess with Emmerdale playing about 27 times a week here, they will be getting further and further behind unless they keep a pace with the UK. Is there any info on this on Media Spy? Had a quick look but couldn't see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
