Melissa George is in disbelief that Home And Away is still going strong.
The Australian actress got her big break playing Angel Parrish on the Five soap in the early 1990s, but has moved onto Hollywood, where she has appeared in films like 30 Days Of Night, Music Within and Derailed.
“Is it still on, that’s amazing,” she said, during an interview to promote her new film, Triangle.
Melissa, who played the teenage mum, has good memories of her three years there but hasn’t watched it since she left in 1996.
“No, I haven’t seen it since. I only watch my own work, when I’m on it,” she revealed.
She added: “I’ll tell you this, having done lots of productions since then, that was one of the most organised productions. My script was always on time, I never had rewrites, I never had delays in scheduling – Home And Away was a well-oiled machine.”
And Melissa, who now lives in Los Angeles, hasn’t been in touch with her former co-stars.
“I keep in touch with Laura Vazquez, who played Sarah Thompson – she’s one of my best friends today, she’s just such a great girl,” she said. “To be honest, the rest of the cast, I have not spoken to any one of them but I think about them a lot. It’s just that I don’t have Pippa’s home number, or the actress who played Pippa. I don’t have their numbers any more because it was so long ago.”
