ste Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Sally was never really the centre of the show until recent years. Before then she was always kind of background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before then she was always kind of background. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wasn't she? That seems so strange to me because, since I've not been watching for too long, Sally's always been central!

ste Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah I think once it dawned on them (the writers) that Sally was one of the few remaining original cast members left they made her more central. She was certainly always background as a teenager and came secondary to characters like Shannon and Selina. As Kate Richie says in an interview on the Secrets and the City dvd, she didn't use to enjoy playing Sally because she never got any cool storylines, wore the cool clothes or had the cute boys! But she thinks in a way that made her more popular to certain viewers because it made her more realistic, which I think is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashirr-Leigh Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah, sounds right to me. We don't all get everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenage-monkey Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I fully understand the HSC situation and I know perfectly well about Indiana. But, Kate and Christie were the same and did 3 episodes. That's all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Probably depends on how much you want to be an actor or how much you want to be something else that doesn't involve being a shop assistant or a waiter. Maybe Indiana is thicker than Kate and Christie, or wants to make something of herself if the acting world spits her in the cabbage patch amongst Ste's proverbial manure.

Drew Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 i don't take notice how many episodes in a week they're in... is that how the contracts work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Having watched both Home and Away and Neighbours from the beginning, I think part of the problem also is that scriptwriters are afraid of pushing the boundaries too far; so there comes this "black-hole period" between the ages of about 14 and 18, when you are too old to be a cute kid and too young to be a adult. Hence Ric and Matilda never got together, and Sally never had a serious boyfriend until she had graduated high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Matilda has been background enough and she is starting to be put to good use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Kirsty and Jade entered the show and became central straight away. It hasn't been like that with Matty and Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
