SHE might have found fame in Summer Bay but these days Melissa George definitely now calls the US home.

The 31-year-old told Confidential she has completely settled into her adopted homeland with Chilean film director husband Claudio Dabed, with the couple just snapping up a new pad in New York.

“Sometimes I am sad to have changed (countries) but I am always coming back to visit Australia,” she said.

While her postcode may have changed, the former Home & Away soap star will always remain loyal to her Aussie accent.

“I hate having to talk with an American accent,” she said. Source.

I was surfing around about news regarding the new season of In Treatment, on whether Melissa would be scheduled to appear in it, and I came across this article (I will only show you a part of it)

“When the show does return, though, it will do so with some pretty significant changes. Paul will likely have a new roster of patients visiting his home office. HBO’s press release says only that “additional cast members will be announced as they are confirmed,” which implies that first-season patients Melissa George, Blair Underwood, Mia Wasikowska, Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz may not be back.” Source.

Of course there’s nothing official but juding from the other things Melissa has going on, I would, personally (know nothing for certain), not see it likely that she will appear on the show more than possibly a cameo appearance.

$18 million-dollar psychological thrillerTriangle will boost Gold Coast jobs with local retailers, hospitality, construction and tourism set to profit.

Produced by Gold Coaster Chris Brown and starring Australian actress Melissa George, site foreman Chris Turner said it was great to see Triangle employing Queensland crew.

“Every time a big show comes to town, we don’t get a look in because they employ people from Sydney, but that’s slowly changing,” he said.

Filmmakers have started building a 55m three-storey-high replica ocean-liner at The Spit which will take about seven weeks to complete and employ more than 20 people.

Producer Chris Brown said; “It’s going to be pretty huge and it will probably become a tourist attraction.”

Gold Coast-based location manager Mike McLean said local movie-making had been quiet due to the US-Australian dollar exchange rate.

“It’s great for international productions because Queensland offers incomparable financial incentives- they’re getting value for money,” he said.

Gold Coast talent agent Tay O’Keefe said Triangle offers local talent the opportunity to take part as supporting-roles and extras.

“The Triangle will employ roughly 100 talents as extras, and auditions for supporting roles are already underway.”

“The film’s a great boost for the industry,” she said.

Brown said the film would be based at Warner Roadshow Studios at Oxenford, where they are working on building a yacht inside the studio’s $2.1 million water tank.

The tanks are the only facility of their kind in the southern hemisphere which the State Government invested in late last year and is expected to bring more film projects to Queensland.

Public access to the final 80m of The Spit’s southern seawall will be restricted for the next three months. Source.

HBO renewed its critically acclaimed drama series “In Treatment,” despite relatively low ratings in its first season.

The show will return with stars Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest. Mr. Byrne plays a therapist and Ms. Wiest is his former mentor who is now counseling him as his own family life crumbles.

Running Monday through Friday for seven weeks earlier this year, fans tended to watch the series on digital video recorders and via HBO On Demand, which don’t count towards the overnight Nielsen ratings that shows on broadcast networks are usually judged by. HBO has always prided itself on not programming shows based on their Nielsen number any, because the network is not ad supported.

Production will begin in New York this fall, with the new episode scheduled to air sometime next year, the network said in a statement.

“In Treatment” will have a new executive producer in Warren Leight, who previously worked on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” Returning executive producers for the show include Rodrigo Garcia, Hagai Levi, Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg. Source.

For now it seems as if though Melissa won’t return, according to this article.

SHE’S a bona fide Hollywood-based scream – er, screen – queen. But Aussie starlet Melissa George made a relatively quiet return home this week, to begin filming the $18 million thriller Triangle.

The typically impeccably dressed actor was looking decidedly dishevelled on the Brisbane set of the locally produced flick.

She plays a single mum with multiple personalities invited aboard a friend’s boat for a day trip.

Things turn scary on screen when a violent storm capsizes the boat and her rescuers on an ocean liner aren’t the heroes they appear to be.

The former Home & Away star is expected to stay in Australia for at least two months. Source.
