Melanie47 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Today in the UK there was yet another reference (this time to Alias). Callan said something about Jennifer Garner (I can't remember the line exactly) to Matilda after he had distracted the nurse to get her out of the hospital. Also not long ago, we had the Lost reference from Robbie about Martha, 'That girl's got more secrets than an episode of Lost!', or something like that anyway. I also remember another reference to Jennifer Garner from ages ago by Robbie again, this time I think he was talking about Matilda. The script writers must have a thing about shows created by JJ Abrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierced Musie Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 The Alias thing could also be an in-joke since Melissa George played Lauren in Alias. For those who don't know she played Angel in H&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star_girl Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 That's the same on Neighbours with their constant irrelevant statements about The OC! E.g. When Janae Timmins arrives she meets Susan and said something like "Hey it's Julie Cooper, is this Orange County?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazza123 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 /\ Didn't they have a Charmed reference on Neighboura at some stage. Or am I going crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 They plug programmes shown on their own channel. So expect them to start plugging Headland on HAA soon...it will be Cassie's favourite TV programme and she will have a crush on Sam Atwell's character.

I've heard of some irrelevant plugs but what's that all about? Susan is nothing like Julie Cooper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Alias and Lost are both shown on Channel Seven, that's why. It's almost a subtle form of cross promotion. Neighbours, The OC and Charmed are all on Channel Ten, which explains that one also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star_girl Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ok then... I've heard of some irrelevant plugs but what's that all about? Susan is nothing like Julie Cooper! Lol, I know. The most recent one was when Rachel told Zeke that she was going out with that guy her father said she couldn't ... and Zeke said "It's not the OC, not all bad boys turn out like Ryan" What did that have to do with anything?!

Kimmy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thats hilarious...Yeh I remember them saying something about Jen Gardner once and I was like how random! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie47 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ah right... I get all the references now. I was just wondering, it seemed so weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
