Dan F Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I'm happy to announce that our exclusive interview with Laura Vazquez, who played Sarah Thompson from 1993-1994 is now online. http://www.backtothebay.net/ Thanks to those who submitted questions, and a big thanks to Laura for her time and for sharing some of her photos with us.

John Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Well done Dan. Some good insights. Interesting that she maintains contact with Melissa George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylover Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for the interview, very much appreciated. I'm glad she thinks Tug and Sarah should be together, I agree with that. Also interesting that she would like Sarah to foster, maybe they should do something left of field and get Sarah and Tug to do that! She sounds very proud of her character and her time on the show. Have to say I'm extremely shocked to see that the producers decided the character should leave early. I thought she was great. I wonder if there's any truth that Roxy, Luke etc were cut early too?

Lisa Lackey left of her own accord - she actually wanted to leave early but TPTB wanted her to finish her contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylover Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for the info, Dan. I think it's such a shame that Tug and Sarah never got back together before they left, but I suppose their friendship was nice because it was so different to all the other teen romances that have been portrayed in the past. Bring back Sarah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c120701 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for the interview. Interesting that Ada auditioned to be Sarah, the past 23 years of the show could've been very different had she got the role, either Sarah could have still been on the show or Leah might not be on the show now.

Skylover Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Kind of weird to think that Alf and Leah are living in Summer Bay House now, if Ada had been cast it may have ended up with the same two actors in SBH but Alf and Sarah instead Or as you say, no Leah at all.

Spinach Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks for the interview. An interesting read. Had Ada been cast as Sarah, there's no guarantee the producers wouldn't have decided Sarah's character had run its course come late 1994 - just as they did with Laura. If Sarah had stayed to this day, I wonder if the producers would've bothered bringing back Roo - or even Martha. Alf would already have that 'daughter' figure in the Bay... Also, would Sally and Alf have ended up getting as close? It's interesting to speculate. But I really liked Laura as Sarah and I really like Ada as Leah so I'm happy the way things have turned out. I do wish Sarah had stayed around a bit longer as I did enjoy her character. Since she's working on set now maybe there is the chance she might return - if only for a guest stint...

Homeandawayfan. Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks for the interview, and good to see BTTB members questions asked, including your truly. Sarah was one of my fave characters in 1994-1995. I admit I did have the hots for her once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
