Andy Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 WEEK'S BEST Sunday Telegraph 5 June 2005 MUST SEE Home and Away Weekdays, 7pm, Seven There seems to come a time in sportspeople's lives when they must face the opportunity of playing themselves or, indeed, a character on the small screen. And no, we're not talking about the guest panellists on the Footy Show each week. We're talking the likes of Gai Waterhouse on Dr Who (circa Tom Baker - it's true!) or Thorpie's forgettable spot as an extra on Friends. This week, it's Lleyton Hewitt's turn, doing a cameo as a bloke in a diner with fiancee Bec Cartwright on Home And Away. And while Hewitt is a star of the tennis court, the really big question is: Can he act? You'll just have to watch - and the term "wooden" may well come to mind.

Andy Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 TV PREVIEWS 8 June 2005 Daily Telegraph HOME AND AWAY Seven, 7pm Tonight a mysterious man wearing a dangerous combination of sneer and smile wanders into the cafe where Hayley (Bec Cartwright) is raving on about something. She stops in her tracks. The blond bloke moves across the set like a log, sits down and flips through a mag while flicking loaded glances her way. He's clearly Cameo Danger Man, played by Cartwright's fiance Lleyton Hewitt (whose child she is carrying and whom she's leaving the show to marry) in the first of a two-episode appearance. So here's a plot prediction: he's from her past and will expose Hayley as an identity thief and the real Hayley will be introduced to viewers. Old Hayley will be locked up in Summer Bay's re-opened colonial jail which Hewitt's character runs, but we'll only ever hear of them and never see them again. No? Oh well.
Andy Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 the programs you can't afford to miss this week The Advertiser 8 June 2005 Ace left speechless Home and Away 7pm, weekdays, Channel 7 ** THEY may as well have had Humphrey B. Bear guest-starring on Home and Away. Lleyton Hewitt doesn't mutter a word on his soap debut tomorrow - not so much as a "C'Mon!". In his blink-and-miss-it appearance, Hewitt - as a "mystery stranger" - breezes into the Summer Bay diner and waves to a perplexed and pregnant Hayley (played by Hewitt's pregnant fiancee, Bec Cartwright). The tennis champ returns in Friday's episode with hopefully something to say. Mind you, Isabel Lucas - aka formerly mute mermaid Tasha - didn't utter a syllable in her first month and she walked off with a Logie for most popular new talent. Meanwhile, Scott proposes to Hayley, despite the fact she might be carrying her housemate's baby.
Andy Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 SMALL TALK MX (Australia) 7 June 2005 NICE TO MEET YA MATE, I'M ALF FLAMIN' hell and stone the crows, it's Lleyton Hewitt. Hewitt met cursing Home and Away legend Alf Stewart, played by Ray Meagher (above), while filming a cameo on the soap as a bloke in the diner. The tennis player, whose fiancee Bec Cartwright stars in the soap, reckons he was more nervous filming his scenes, which will air on Thursday and Friday at 7pm on Channel 7, than playing the Wimbledon final. Critics have labelled his acting as wooden.
Andy Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 10 June 2005 The Courier-Mail Home And Away, Channel 7, 7pm IT'S one thing for Jennifer Aniston's then hubby Brad Pitt to appear in Friends. After all, he's an actor. But Lleyton Hewitt is a tennis pro. That doesn't stop him turning up as a guest star in fiancee Bec Cartwright's soapie this week. Last night and tonight, Hewitt plays a "mysterious stranger" passing through Summer Bay. He shares a couple of scenes with his sweetheart at the diner, which just goes to show that a multi-millionaire with the right connections can have a bit part most struggling actors would kill for. -- Vicki Englund
starrychris Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 This Lleyton thing has been so overrated. Channel 7 promoted endlessly that last night was the episode where Bec and Lleyton would be on screen together. What did we see? Bec standing on one side of the diner, Lleyton walk in and wave to her, and Bec wave back before leaving the diner. Blah. There's apparently more between them on the show tonight, but once again I believe it will be minimal.
starrychris Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 The Lleyton Hewitt "stroyline" is absolutly pathetic. Actually I wouldn't call it a stroyline but an awful excuse to write him into the show. Two episodes in a row the episodes have been advertised as "Bec and Lleyton in Summer bay" but both episodes it's just been one seen practically with Bec bumping into him and walking off. Errrrk.
