cover story

Marital meddling

Shauna (Denise Richards) has done a realistic self-examination of her feelings for Ridge (Thorsten Kaye).

She knows he’s not going to get over Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) overnight – if ever. Still, Shauna finds she may have a surprise ally in her quest to be close to the fashionista: his son Thomas! The Forrester heir is all about keeping Ridge and Brooke apart. He knows Shauna’s more than suited to help make that happen.

Thomas knows that if Shauna wins, then he wins – because Brooke will out of his father’s life!

dreams

a handsome stranger It’s a new year, a new decade and a fresh set of story arcs on The Bold and the Beautiful... here’s an exclusive preview of the FIVe hot plots you can’t miss!

Staying solid?

Ridge and Brooke have faced many impasses over the course of their relationship, but none quite like this one.

Brooke feels that Thomas is bad news as far as Hope is concerned – but her husband just isn’t seeing it. He feels that, as his son, he’s right to support him. Ridge, in fact, will make another plea to Brooke, convinced that this is a changed man and nobody has anything to fear. But the Thomas that Brooke knows isn’t capable of change.

Despite Ridge having blinkers on, and Brooke not budging on her stance, these two are still able to focus on all their happy times together.

Hope & heartbreak

Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) is taking the art of playing hard to get to whol new levels! He knows his more direc approach to win Hope’s (Annika Noelle) heart hasn’t worked, so now he’s taking a different tack. Watch for Thomas to romance Zoe (Kiara Barnes) in order to make Hope want him. His plan may work, but he’s toying with Zoe’s heart.

She could get crushed in the process!

Keep your eyes open for the cad to spring a surprise on Hope – one she doesn’t see coming and definitely won’t appreciate!

iam’s at a loss

iam (Scott Clifton) saw Zoe as an lly in helping bring down Thomas. e reluctantly coerced Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) into agreeing to let Zoe in on their plan to find out if Thomas was on the up and up about being a reformed man.

Liam’s going to be not only frustrated but hurt, too, if he finds out that Zoe’s betrayed him. The doe-eyed beauty may find Thomas’ charms just too irresistible. Liam pleaded with Steffy to give Zoe a chance to prove herself.

If she lets him down, he’s going to have to deal with Steffy’s disapproval and come up with a new way to prove that Thomas is up to no good where Hope is concerned! Thomas hasn’t done anything physically threatening of late, but he’s learning to play mind games with those around him...

an in town

Steffy and other women been torn between just two men – Liam and Wyatt (Darin Brooks). And, well, Steffy has been connected to Bill (Don Diamont), too. One might think La La Land is devoid of eligible men other than those three guys! That will turn out not to be the case at all when a new guy on the scene asks Steffy out.

She’s said for a while now that she’s ready to be independent and on her own. Will her stance soften on that once a handsome newcomer shows interest? He’ll be a very lucky man if Steffy agrees to go out on a date with him. Watch for Ridge’s daughter to be flattered by the newcomer’s interest! tVS

T

he Bold and the Beautiful may not have made a Christmasthemed episode this time around, so the stars from the beloved soap took full advantage to celebrate the special time of year IRL! Don Diamont (Bill), Jennifer Gareis (Donna), Scott Clifton (Liam), Hope (Annika Noelle), and Darin Brooks (Wyatt) and wife Kelly Kruger (Eva; ex-Mac, The Young and the Restless) fill TV SOAP in on what they did on their holidays!

STAR beautiful break

don diamont

Words by Michael Maloney

Don Diamont loves a happy snap – and here he is, frolicking in snowy Canada. “It was our first time traveling on Christmas Day,” he says. “We did presents in the morning, and headed to the airport. Everybody was really excited and it was an incredible payoff arriving in beautiful Whistler [a resort in British Columbia] to a magnificent snowfall.” The shot of Don and his wife Cindy (exAmy) was taken on New Year’s Eve – which just so happens to be Diamont’s birthday! “We had such a blast last year so, we’re doing the same thing this year! The holidays give our large family a chance to all be together during a really special time. We placed lot of value in that, particularly as the boys get older. With girlfriends, and eventually wive and families of their own, everybody bein together is more challenging.”

A BREAK SUITS YOU! Don with Scott; Diamonts in the snow; Don and Cind

their happy holidays!

RS’ Scott Clifton

“This year, Christmas is really about my son [Ford],” says hunky Scott, adding that his festive focus was on family, community and Santa Claus!

“You think I could have said that last year, but he’s threeand-a-half this year. He really understands everything. We weren’t sure we wanted to lie about Santa, and how to do it. But this Christmas is about giving him the most positive experience possible, and forging new family traditions moving forward.”

Like Jennifer Gareis, Scott’s holiday plans were to stay close to home. His wife Nikki headed off to Paris for 10 days, during which time the actor relished all the oneon-one time with Ford. His favourite holiday memories are opening and giving presents on Christmas Eve. Then, the family would order Chinese takeout! “When I was young, my mum would do this cool thing,” he recalls. “She would take me on Christmas Eve with care packages that she would make [that included]) food, clothing, a first-aid kit, a small wad of cash, and we would drive around downtown and give homeless people the care packages.” That’s the spirit!

ROCKING AROUND THE XMAS TREE The Kelly gang celebrates

Katherine Kelly lang

Like her co-stars, KKL planned on staying close to home this year with her family, which includes her boyfriend Dom, sons Jeremy and Julian, daughter Zoe and granddaughter Zuma. “We’re kicked off the Christmas season by throwing a nice party/Christmas dinner with family, friends, and business partners,” says Kelly, who often welcomes friends from Italy, New Orleans, and, of course, LA when she entertains. Her favourite traditions are buying, setting up, and decorating a jolly Christmas tree, along with swapping presents with family and friends, and drinking eggnog!

“We love to sup hot chocolate with Carl, the Drinking Chocolate Snowman (ecolechocolat.com). Melting Carl, the Chocolate Snowman, in the pot and watching him become hot chocolate is very cute and sad at the same time.”

Whatever floats your boat!

annika noelle (Hope) Yuletide has always been special to Noelle because her birthday is December 24, Christmas Eve! “Christmas is about gratitude, family, and reflection,” she says.

Noelle says her favorite holiday tradition has been leaving cookies and milk out for Santa and carrots for his reindeer on Christmas Eve. Annika planned a quiet holiday at home with her loved ones. Twelve months ago she embarked on quite the adventure!

“I took a trip to Inari, Finland, for my birthday where I got to see the Aurora Borealis for the first time. It was magical,” Annika Noelle.

MAKING MEMORIES These guys love their traditions!

Jennifer Gareis (donna) “Spending time with family and giving to others, especially those in need,” says Jennifer Gareis (Donna) of what the season means to her. The star, her husband Bobby Ghassemieh and children Gavin and Sophia Rose usually love to go off travelling at this time of year. This time, however, the clan enjoye a quiet Christmas at home. Jennifer explains that the plays a Secret Santa-type game in which everyone places a unisex present in a pile and then selects a number from a Santa hat. “No. 1 picks the first prese and whoever gets the next gets to choose a present that has either already been opened, or one from th pile. It gets pretty crazy by the end, but all in good fu The actress says one of her favorite memories is her grandparents coming to visit for the holidays: “One year my grandmother made six pies! It took us all day to eat them! But I never really could get the full recipe from her as she always kept it top secret!”

CHRISTMAS CRACKER! It’s a magical time of year for Jen and her crew

darin brooks (Wyatt) and Kelly Kruger (eva; mac,Y&R) This holiday season was, of course, very special as Brooks and Kruger had daughter Everleigh in September. “It’s her first Christmas!” Darin exclaimed. “Even though she might not be old enough to appreciate all the presents, it’ll still be special because it’s not just Kelly and I and the dogs anymore.

We’re a family now! And from here on out, Christmas morning is going to be such a special day for us to see our kid’s faces light up! It’ll be so much fun!”

Like their co-stars, Darin and Kelly stayed closed to home. The plan was for everyone to wear matching PJs and get up together.

“Kelly ordered them so we could take a Christmas photo in our matching pyjamas!” Darin’s favourite holiday tradition is making a huge breakfast. “Kelly makes a big egg frittata recipe she got from my mum, who used to make it for us every year,” the actors says. “Then we do pancakes, avocado, turkey bacon and especially my famous breakfast potatoes!

(My Aunt Lila who passed the recipe on to me.)”

After breakfast and coffee, Brooks says it’s opening presents time and emptying the holiday stockings! Even the couple’s beloved dogs get stockings with puppy treats inside. “They burrow their faces in and try to dig out all the treats!” Next, the clan talks a nice long walk

around the neighbourhood.

“It’s a simple but definitely fun tradition for us!”

Darin has so many holiday memories but one in particular stands out for him. “One year, we got my childhood dog back in the day on Christmas morning!

That was fun! Maybe we’ll have to do that for Everleigh when she gets a little older and add another puppy to this already packed house!”

“I have two actually,” says Kelly of her special family holiday memories. “When we were kids, we would go to my great aunt’s house in Florida every Christmas.

She would have a huge gingerbread house made of candy! After dinner on Christmas Eve, we would lay a big sheet on the ground and all the kids would dive in and smash the house and eat it! It was so much fun!

“The second memory would have to be last year.

We did the usual – woke up, made breakfast, did presents and stockings.

Then, my parents came over and we went on a walk.

Maddy, our late pug, was too old at that time to walk.

So I put her in this carrier (a Snuggit, made by a friend of ours: Google it!)

I recall thinking, This is what it might feel like to be pregnant one day. Because I was carrying all this extra weight in front of me. Sure enough, we got pregnant that month and the rest is history! Little Everleigh Jolie was made!” tVS

The truth about nicole’s increasingly bizarre behaviour is finally explained, but panic sets in when someone else stumbles on her true identity!

daYS of ouR liVeS

Weekdays 1pm on 9GeM; sTReams on 9nOW

W

allowing in misery since returning to Salem, Nicole clearly hasn’t been her usual self. Everyone around her has willingly explained away her dark demeanour as that of a PTSD victim of the warehouse explosion that almost killed her months earlier. Now that her daughter Holly has been kidnapped and supposedly killed in a car crash, her loved ones make extra allowances as she grieves her loss.

Behind her stricken mother façade, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) is definitely not the woman everyone remembers.

Rejecting Sarah’s (Linsey Godfrey) efforts to comfort her, Nicole accuses her of bonding with Eric (Greg Vaughan) over her death and then attacks Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) for choosing the dress to bury Holly in! Screaming that Chloe murdered her daughter because she was distracted with Stefan’s (Brandon Barash) romantic dinner and didn’t even notice Holly was being snatched, Nicole throws the dress in Chloe’s face and storms off, leaving Chloe in floods of salty tears...

Later, the truth about her mood swings grows clearer when Nicole celebrates Xander’s (Paul Telfer) decision to divorce him – alone in her Salem Inn suite. Revealing that it’s all part of a much grander plan, she addresses Xander as her “partner” and then bemoans the thought of attending Holly’s funeral, labelling it an “endless parade of grief”. All she can hope for is Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) getting drunk and making a fun spectacle of the event!

Xander’s stunned by her attitude... then more so when he returns to collect her for the funeral and finds her clad in a sexy red dress, happily

N ASK

INAPPROPRIATE! ‘Nicole’ turns on Chloe!

drinking a mimosa! Nicole shushes his concerns and then orders him to break into the hospital files and change the records so nobody learns Holly’s alive! While Xander completes her diabolical errand, Nicole’s fakes grief over Holly to draw Brady (Eric Martsolf) to her side, before passionately kissing him.

Pushing her away, Brady thinks there’s something strange about her and reels when she rants that he’s fighting off her passion, raging that he should just forget about Holly! She’s so angry she dissolves into a screaming fit and then smashes a vase!

Finally, the truth about Nicole becomes clear when she reaveals to Xander that her entire master plan is to make Brady fall in love with WELL PLAYED, MADAM Xander and Kristen/Nicole

her again! This is definitely not Nicole talking, as becomes clear when she suddenly pulls off a wig and mask to reveal herself as Kristen DiMera! The wicked psychopath has been posing as Nicole to ingratiate herself back into Salem!

Accepting congratulations from Xander for performing her act so beautifully, Kristen likens herself to her father Stefano, whose legendary nickname is “the Phoenix”.

She, too, always rises from the ashes! It becomes apparent that Dr Rolf (Will Utay) fashioned her disguise, as Kristen marvels at the anticipation of luring Brady into her bed and finally owning him.

However, a major obstacle slams into Kristen’s plan when she rows with Xander and he leaves. When she hears a knock at her door, she’s expecting to see him back to grovel – but is horrified to see Maggie staring back at her!

Thunderstruck to see Kristen, Maggie gulps as Kristen slams the door, dons the Nicole mask and, taking advantage of the drunkard, reveals her fake persona to her. Convincing Maggie she also saw Nicole the first time, Kristen orders her to go home and sleep it off. Closing the door, she breathes heavily, praying that Maggie doesn’t blab her ugly little secret...

Meticulously plotting her revenge on Stefan for having her sent to prison for a crime she didn’t commit, Gabi is finally ready to strike against him. Who cares that an innocent Chloe, who’s now dating Stefan, will get caught up in the crossfire?

Instead, she relishes in that thought as Chloe’s devastation over Holly’s death irks, prompting her to passionately kiss Stefan just seconds after his girl’s left the room!

Unaware that Gabi (Camila Banus) wants to seduce him into marriage and then bankrupt him, Stefan (Brandon Barash) momentarily weakens to the hate-fuelled heat she’s directing at him, before he pulls back, earning Gabi’s taunts for not accepting her comfort when she knows he’s hurting because he loved Holly, too. Frustrated with her advances, Stefan walks out, leaving Gabi to promise Stefano’s portrait that his son will not dismiss her after everything he’s done to her.

Furthering her months-long scheme, Gabi meets up with

KED! pulling the trigger on her master revenge plan against Stefan, Gabi blows his romance with Chloe to smithereens!

Kate (Lauren Koslow) to iron out the next phase of the ploy, and scoffs at her warning that she’s in danger of falling in love with Stefan. Her focus is on driving Chloe out of his life and she enlists Kate’s skills to do it.

Enjoying a bit of mischief, Kate agrees to orchestrate Stefan’s

downfall and wastes little time lying to Chloe that her son Parker is upset over Holly, sending the young mum to the DiMera mansion and tend to him.

Over at the mansion, Gabi busily gets Stefan right where she wants him, as she parades in his bedroom in a saucy negligee.

Lying about in her state of undress, Gabi suggests one final romp before they go their separate ways, and despite all of his reservations, Stefan is soon between the sheets with her.

As they are enjoying horizontal relations, Chloe walks in to find her son, and is outraged to discover Stefan cheating!

Calling them pigs, Chloe screams she’s done with Stefan before storming out!

Revelling in the success of her plan, Gabi promises Kate that the real fun is about to begin, because once she becomes Mrs DiMera, Stefan won’t know what hit him. This will run and run...

final fling!

LUST ON THE HUSTINGS Eve and Jack

S

NIGHT-

MAYOR! The election results are in, and Jack wins!

First act: sending catastrophic shockwaves around salem!

uffering amnesia and totally at the manipulation of his vengeful lover Eve, Jack has already mounted a good campaign for Mayor, using a platform of eradicating illegal aliens from the city to get him elected and fulfil Eve’s grand plan for them to control Salem.

He’s even married Eve to keep her sweet, in the belief that having a wife will strengthen his chances of winning.

As Election Day draws near, Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Eve (Kassie DePaiva) shrug off Jennifer’s (Melissa Reeves) relentless attempts to expose them as con artists, confident that their campaign to get Haley (Thia Megia) deported to China will deliver Jack into office.

Nervously anticipating the results, Jack distracts himself with nookie with Eve and the connubial celebrations continue when word comes in: Jack is Salem’s new Mayor!

More interested in salivating over his victory than honouring the citizens of Salem, a heady, power-hungry Jack quickly makes decisions that are questionable at best, illegal at worst. Desperate to fire Hope (Kristian Alfonso) from the police force, he enacts a Plan B when Rafe (Galen Gering) refuses to serve him as her replacement. Instead, Jack takes advantage of Eve’s public fight with Ben (Robert Scott Wilson), wildly slamming him as a serial killer, to hijack his

swearing-in ceremony and announce Eve as Salem’s new top cop!

Disgusted at the transparent announcement, Jennifer damns Eve as a former prostitute who’s unqualified for the position, and publicly asks Jack, “Have you lost what’s left of your mind?” She feels Eve is more likely to commit a crime than solve one, and that Jack is merely his new wife’s puppet.

Undeterred by Jennifer’s tirade, Jack shrugs her off, assuring Eve she has all the power now.

Basking in her powerful new aura, Eve gets straight to work, zeroing in on capturing Haley, who’s now a known illegal immigrant on the run with JJ (Casey Moss). A supportive Jack doesn’t care that JJ is mixed up in the drama, assuring Eve that he’ll let her send his son to prison when he’s caught for aiding and abetting a fugitive.

On a high, Eve and Jack summon Hope and then sensationally fire her, before kicking her out of the building.

Eve then conducts more business, running Eli (Lamon Archey) ragged with demands to take Haley and Ben off the streets... now!

As poor Eli doesn’t know what to do next, Hope sums up the feelings of most people in Salem who know Jack and Eve when she privately tells a supportive Jennifer that “the inmates really are running the asylum now!” tVS 11

Chelsea’s plan to sta new husband arrives

Weekdays 2pm on 9GeM; sTReams on 9nOW

Focused on marrying Lola, the last thing Kyle needs is Theo livening up his life again!

THROW IN THE TOWEL Kyle can’t keep up with Theo these days!

S

Party boys!

etting his sights on Lola Rosales, Kyle now comfortably admits to anyone who asks that this is a love story that has forever changed his outlook on life. Once a wild, committed playboy and party animal, Kyle now yearns for a happy, carefree home life with his betrothed. To prove his new attitude is sincere, he even goes out of his way to welcome his impending mother-in-law Celeste to Genoa City for the festivities around the nuptials.

Adhering to Lola’s (Sasha Calle) fears that Celeste (Eva LaRue) won’t approve of them living together, Kyle (Michael Mealor) goes to extremes to remove all traces of a man’s presence from their apartment.

At once winning over Celeste, who revels in meeting Kyle’s family, Kyle’s relieved to meet her approval; in fact, she calls him a beautiful young man who’s just right for her special daughter. He’s pleased she isn’t as straitlaced as he thought but as he continues to play the conservative, well-behaved boyfriend and future son-in-law, 12

R

his disapproving friend Theo (Tyler Johnson) teases him about abandoning the old Kyle, the guy who loved to party his cares away. Despite insisting to Theo that he’s a different person, he privately worries that he’s turning into an old fuddy-duddy, especially as Theo and Summer (Hunter King) flaunt their sizzling, red-hot affair in his face!

To prove Theo’s wrong about him, Kyle plans a little sexy hot-tub time with Lola at the empty Abbott mansion, but the evening is ruined when Theo and Summer barge in with a huge throng of party-minded strangers that he’s “influenced” on social media. Aghast at the intrusion, Kyle wants to get rid of them, but aware of his “old

” concerns, Lola urages the party ke place, and s Kyle to hang ith his friends use he deserves e “me” time.

Despite not quite envisioning the night to unfold as it has, Kyle reluctantly joins in when everyone decides to skinny-dip in the Abbott pool.

Madcap frolics ensue but as Kyle struggles to contain the rowdiness, he loses his temper, especially when something inside gets smashed. Grabbing towels, Kyle drags Theo inside and yells at him over the throbbing music. Refusing Theo’s edict to chill, Kyle turfs everyone out and rails at Summer’s slur that he’s turning into a pensioner!

Clutching his aching head, Kyle flips out when Theo smooches Summer, and shoves the pair out of the house, before retreating to the sanctuary of Lola’s apartment and her waiting arms. To prove to her that he’s no old man, he undresses her and seduces her with unleashed abandon, now desperate to merge the two very different parts of his life... tVS

euniting with Adam, Chelsea has made it very clear that she hasn’t returned to Genoa City to reconcile the family she once had with him and their son Connor. Instead, she wants Adam to stop pursuing her and allow her to live the new life she’s forged with Connor in Louisiana with her rich new husband Calvin Boudreaux.

Aware that Adam (Mark Grossman) will never honour her wishes, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) confides her fears in a sympathetic Nick (Joshua Morrow), who learns that Calvin is a kind and gentle man who loves her despite knowing some of her past.

Digging for more details of her life away from Genoa City, Nick reels to learn that not only did Chelsea settle in Louisiana with her mother Anita, but that she also began dating and married Calvin after she dumped him! Suspicious that she’s not telling him the whole story here, Nick wonders what she hopes to accomplish by being back on the scene...

Suddenly, Calvin (John Burke) appears to interrupt, somewhat angrily demanding to know the answer to that, too! Nick notices Chelsea shiver slightly at Calvin’s presence but doesn’t want to intervene when he assures him Chelsea and Connor are safe with him. As Chelsea leaves with Calvin, she’s anxious at what lies ahead – and is staggered when Calvin reveals he visited Adam before finding her.

Katrina & the waves Bold and beautiful Katrina Bowden is on a rising tide with her B&B role and a sharktastic new movie...

“Flo’s caused enough trouble and wants to make things right” really bad for about two hours and then it was better.

Foreigners think Australia’s full of nasty critters out to get them.

THREE OF A KIND Katrina loves working with Denise and Annika Noelle

K

atrina Bowden’s star sure is rising – on the big and small screens. She was making waves in Brisbane recently, shooting a shark thriller called Great White.

Meanwhile, she has been wowing audiences as Flo on The Bold and the Beautiful. Her tug-of-war with Sally for Wyatt’s heart is one of the soap’s most engaging storylines. And the mother-daughter duo of Flo and Shauna has also shaken up the worlds of the Forresters and the Logans to thrilling effect.

Here, the 30 Rock alum chats to TV SOAP about shooting her fintastic flick down under, her rollercoaster ride as Flo, and the bond she shares with co-star Denise Richards...

If you’re ever in that situation you have to think of extreme survival techniques to get by.

Yeah! That’s what Americans think. We think that koalas and kangaroos are just jumping around everywhere and that there’s just snakes lurking around every corner, but it’s not quite like that. These creatures, they don’t just hang around waiting for you. You have to go and find them, I think.

So we won’t be seeing you on our screens as Flo for a while then?

You do! I don’t know if I would do that. That seems a little crazy, but hey, that would be one way to survive.

I’m actually flying back to LA tomorrow and I start shooting again. It might not be until the New Year until I’m actually back on the screen.

But you did get stung by a nasty ol’ jellyfish while you were in Australia.

In the meantime, it’s good to see Flo’s mother Shauna and Ridge getting closer.

We were shooting a few days on a prawn farm, on the Gold Coast, and they had all these jellyfish in the water and one of them stung me in the middle of a scene, but it was fine. It was

I know! They’re fun together.

I think beforehand, Flo seemed quite disapproving.

She said that with Ridge being

a married man Shauna shouldn’t really go there...

Yeah. I think, well, Flo doesn’t want her mum to just cause more trouble because Flo has caused enough trouble for herself and she just kind of wants to make things right, and not shake things up too much. But her mum seems pretty intent on keeping things shaken up! Yeah, it’s been a fun dynamic between Shauna and Flo. I think it’s been really fun – and funny.

Last time we spoke you said you had a natural chemistry with Denise Richards, who plays Shauna.

We do, yeah! We’re both pretty lighthearted and don’t take things too seriously and we have a lot of fun. I think that our chemistry really shows itself in our scenes together.

Is it a lot of fun on the B&B set, in between takes?

Yeah, absolutely! I mean, on some days we’re really rushed for time. If we’re doing really heavy emotional scenes, we don’t start laughing in between takes, but yeah, we have a ton of fun. It’s a blast. Definitely with the whole cast, they’re amazing and really fun to work with.

What sort of feedback have you had from

Tell us about the movie you’ve made – Great White.

I think it’s going to be really great. It’s a very characterdriven survival movie [with] tons of action. I thought it was an absolute blast!

I read that you were in a raft with some other people. Did you ever consider tossing someone over the side so you would be safe and they’d be ravaged by any maneating sharks?

I mean, it’s certainly an idea, but, no, we didn’t! People kind of fell off on their own!

interview

“I think she’ll try to win her man back... we’ll see!”

diehard, longtime B&B fanatics about Flo? Well, it’s been kind of a rollercoaster ride! I think, in the beginning, they didn’t like her, they didn’t like her coming in and shaking things up, but you kind of need characters to do that every now and then.

Fans have had a love-hate relationship with her where they really love her, but they don’t like what she’s done. They kind of go back and forth between liking her and not liking her, which I think is really cool, because it makes the character interesting and those are the kind of characters I like to play: characters that might not be the best, most angelic person on Earth, but you still like them anyway because you want to see what happens next!

Flo does seem like a hugely enjoyable character to play, from a fan’s perspective.

It’s been really fun for me to play that type of character because I think Flo is also like... she’s done some bad things, but I don’t think she’s a bad person deep down. I think she’s just a little bit scrappy, gets caught up in things really, really quickly and doesn’t really know how to control it. I think the fans are seeing that of her and kind of learning who she is, and liking her more now that they know who she is and [she’s] not just someone who came in and did a terrible thing.

But she hasn’t received forgiveness from the Logans or the Forresters yet?

Not yet. I don’t know if Brooke and Hope will ever forgive her, to be honest.

It doesn’t look like we’re going to see Dr Reese Buckingham back. His storyline seems to have flatlined...

ROCK STARS Katrina with her 30 Rock pals Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski

20

Yeah. I don’t know. How cool would it be if Reese came back into the picture even for a little bit, just to shake things up even more? I think his character was kind of a whirlwind. It would be fun to have him back, at least for a little bit.

One of the big questions for Flo in the future is about her

and Wyatt: what will happen there, you think?

Yeah, that’s definitely a big question for her. Flo wants to get her man back, so I think that’s probably going to be her focus for a little bit, winning him back all over again. She was kind of doing it a little bit and then I went away. We’ll see what happens... TVS

The sexy’s star exercise regimen and wellness philosophy are at the core of everything she does.

“I think it’s important to find something that you enjoy doing, whether it’s jogging and running or going on hikes and long walks.

I just think that being active is about finding something that you enjoy because if you don’t enjoy it, you’re never going to want to do it, and it’s going to feel like work, and eventually you just won’t do it anymore,” Katrina explains.

“For me, I like to find things that seem fun. I like kickboxing, because it doesn’t feel like I’m working out. I like to go on long hikes because it helps me disconnect, then reconnect to the outdoors. I think that anything that’s low-impact and makes you feel good is something that you should try to do more of.” TVS

Summoning hendrix’s mother to ramsay Street to deal with him backfires on Chloe when Pierce’s ex drops a bombshell!

laying the role of wicked stepmother to a belligerent teenager who argues incessantly with his father has been an uphill struggle for a stressed Chloe.

She’s finally had enough!

Motivated to reconcile father and son once and for all, Chloe makes the drastic decision to summon Hendrix’s mother Lisa to Erinsborough, hoping she can use her maternal nous to bring the troublemaking teen under some sort of control.

News of Lisa’s imminent arrival puts Pierce (Tim Robards) on edge. He knows better than most how controlling the woman can be and frets that, instead of helping, she’ll only rip apart his tattered relationship with Hendrix (Benny Turland). Although he harbours no fear of his mum, Hendrix knows what a force of nature she can be, prompting him to apologise to Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) for his childish antics and behaviour. Accepting the apology, Chloe remains firm with her stepson, daring Hendrix to see his mother’s visit as a stern challenge and chance to fully reflect on his behaviour.

When Lisa (Jane Allsop) finall appears on the doorstep, she throws everyone off-guard with her uncharacteristically reasonable and understanding response to all the drama.

Initially, Hendrix happily mulls opening up to his mum – but Pierce’s suspicions that she has an agenda of her own soon shuts the boy up! He refuses to talk to either of his parents, but after a little tough love and advice from the Kennedys and Harlow (Jemma Donovan), he proposes a truce with Pierce, wanting to move forward as a family.

ncontrollable climate change disasters are wreaking irreparable havoc on society.

However, despite openly pledging that they’re working to try to forge a better world for everyone’s children to grow up in, Eadie and Lloyd Boulay are unintentionally ignoring the plights of their own teenage daughter, and the long-desired baby that Eadie has learned she’s carrying.

On the cusp of turning 14, Ivy Boulay (Inez Curro) is tormented. Wise well beyond her years, she’s carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, terrified about the crippling advance of climate change destruction all around her. In no mood to celebrate, Ivy sits at home, paralysed by her own paranoia, when she’s rocked by another trauma!

Having always found comfort

with her beloved elderly neighbours, Arnold (John Stanton) and Carol (Lynne Porteous), Ivy is pulled from her private thoughts by the sounds and flashes of police lights and squeals of sirens...

Out on the street, officers are pinning several young thieves to the road, arresting them for breaking and entering Arnold and Carol’s home. Spying the couple cowering in their doorway as they watch the police deal with the little buggers, Ivy dashes over – and is devastated by the state of the ransacked house.

Her mood collapsing and pushing her dangerously close to a breakdown, Ivy’s state finally comes to her father’s attention, leaving Lloyd (David Lyons) in a dire bind. He may be a expert in saving people from dying of diseases, but he’s powerless to help his own child.

Aware that their baby’s life is at stake, Eadie warns them of the side effects... but when they ignore her, she takes drastic measures.

Not only are the Latus’ lives in danger, but they are at serious risk of being separated by immigration authorities, motivating Eadie to literally take them on the run, plunging them, herself and her unborn baby into dangerous new territory as they’re exposed to the harsh elements that Mother Nature is now unleashing!

gruesome discoveries and Molly’s longtime vendetta against Gareth unveils a new suspect for the murders, and leave alex in the crosshairs

O

n first inspection, Detective Molly McGee’s longtime quest to exact vengeance on local property developer Gareth McAvaney – whom she blames for the death of her friend two years ago – seems entirely separate to her investigation into the murders of Dorothy, Daisy and Jenny. The more Molly digs, however, the clearer it becomes clearer that Gareth’s increasingly mysterious behaviour could well link him to the killings...

Shocking news about the death of local councillor Jacinta Clunes in a suspicious car crash seems to confirm Molly’s (Emma Booth) suspicions. The police believe Jacinta was in cahoots with a merciless Gareth (Martin Henderson), who was strongarming her to support his tender bid for a construction job.

But, when the deal went sour, Gareth drove Jacinta off the 26

road to her death! Before Molly can confront Gareth, he pulls one step ahead, securing legal backing to have her charged with harassment after twigging she searched his office without the proper authority.

Desperate to help Molly, but also unaware that Gareth has sinister links to the other murders, her police partner Alex (Ewen Leslie) shoulders the load of the murder investigation, following up a potential lead from the mysterious convict bible that he unearthed in Dorothy’s possessions.

Learning that it belongs to a dark and dangerous religious cult known as the Star of the Forest Church, which uses a blue “Door of Salvation” to lure disciples into its clutches, Alex speculates Dorothy was somehow connected to the sect.

Molly’s attendance at Daisy’s funeral yields more evidence to support Alex’s claims, as does

his interrogation of the hospitalised Freddie Hopkins (Matt Testro) – which leads to him being charged with murder!

Relentless in her obsession with Gareth, Molly vehemently opposes Freddie’s arrest but she’s powerless to stop it, prompting Alex to visit Gareth with a plea for him not to charge Molly with harassment. Clad in only a towel, it appears that Alex has interrupted something that Gareth wants to hide, but as he dresses, he refuses to go easy on Molly; he’s frustrated by years of her threats...

Suddenly overcome with fear and agitation at being around Gareth, Alex unwittingly accepts a herbal tonic from Gareth to calm his nerves.

Before he knows what’s happening to him, Alex suffers hallucinations from the drug and recalls suppressed memories from years earlier that link to Jenny’s murder and the blue

to a

Door of Salvation! Cripes!

Remembering being terrified by what he saw behind the door, Alex jolts awake – unable to access the clear memory!

Traumatised, he flees, unaware that Gareth was attempting to indoctrinate him into the cult.

Seeking refuge with Molly, Alex compares notes on his findings, and when she realises they match links to evidence Daisy left before she died, they realise they are getting closer to the truth. Sensing Alex’s strained demeanour, Molly lets him share her bed for the night, but he lies awake, tormented by the past and the present, before a memory of Freddie’s ramblings sends him to powerful local woman Grace Cochrane’s (Rena Owen) house.

Out in the middle of a paddock, Alex is rattled to discover its grisly secrets.. dozens of human-like bones!

What’s going on?

During a break in shooting, Sinead combines a visit home with a chat to TV SOAP about Nancy Drew, her character, her history in supernatural shows and why foreigners think Oz’s full of killer creatures...

You were in iZombie...

I played a zombie out at dinner, so looking like a normal everyday person. The zombies in that universe are able to disguise themselves using modern technology, like hair dye and fake tan. They kind of fake-tanned me a bit. Zombies are very, very white and then they cover themselves with fake tan to blend in...

Is there a supernatural bent to your career? You were in iZombie, now this!

Yes, absolutely! Wonderful, because in supernatural land you can do almost anything!

You only get one line in this before you get killed off...

That’s right. My role in the pilot was turn up and die! I didn’t realise Tiffany as a character would be needed for any other subsequent episodes. And then luckily, to our surprise, she was!

So she comes back essentially in flashbacks and then she possesses someone at some point. It’s great; it’s really fun.

We’re shooting at a couple of different locations in Vancouver.

We’re filming sometimes out on this incredible jetty as the sun goes down and orcas swim past and there’s sometimes seals. It’s just very Canadian and lovely!

and visit family. Which is great because I really missed everybody from home. I miss Australia, too, as if Australia itself is a friend. It will always be home to me: Sydney is a very special place to have grown up.

And people like the show?

Is Canada similar?

Essentially, yes, a stereotypical socialite. And then wonderfully the writing team gave her an excellent backstory where she’s multifaceted and intelligent and a strong woman who sticks to her instincts. She’s really quite protective of the people that she loves, she loves literature, she engages quite honestly and openly with her friends. She’s a little bit of an outsider, but the people who she connects with, she does actually really create meaningful relationships with.

So that’s been really nice to play essentially a real woman.

Oh my goodness, the fans are such a vibrant community. I love them. Not only do they comment on the plot and have their own idea of who might’ve killed either Dead Lucy or Tiffany, but more importantly they’re generating content based on the shows, creating imagery, making art, all because of Nancy Drew! It’s fascinating just how much, particularly the more youthful members of our audience, have been inspired by the show to then create it and put it out into the social media landscape; wonderful!

Yes. Everyone’s really friendly.

It’s safe. It’s easy to get around and very naturally beautiful in a different way to here. They have spectacular mountains and lush forest landscapes covered in snow most of the year. We have amazing beaches and animals trying to kill us all the time.

Fictional Horseshoe Bay, where it’s set, seems spooky and magical.

What’s it like on set?

It’s tough at first to feel sympathy for snooty Tiffany.

It is: Horseshoe Bay is magical.

SEE THE LIGHT Sinead and co-star Kennedy McCann

Oh, it’s lovely! Some sets you turn up and it’s not as warm and welcoming. This set has been absolutely delightful. The people playing our leads, so Kennedy [McCann, who plays Nancy Drew], Leah, Tunji, Alex and Maddison, are such sweethearts.

All down-to-earth, young people.

Beautiful. Even the crews are lovely. It’s kind of outrageous how nice it is.

Any word on season two?

Words by Charles Purcell

Well, we’re still making season one. I don’t know anything about who killed me.

You’re still on season one?

It’s still happening. So right now I’m not needed in the episodes so I was able to come home 28

Is that what people say?

Yeah, a lot of the time people say, “Oh, you’re from Australia, you have really big spiders, don’t you?” And I say, “Yes, we do. They’re huge!” But that’s how people kind of view us, that everything around us is trying to kill us all the time. It’s such a gorgeous country, but, boy, we’ve got competition from the insects and the animals.

What does the future hold?

To my knowledge, Tiffany will be revisited in the following eps of season one. And, honestly, my career’s never been so good and so vibrant. I love being back. I’m working on a couple of things, voice-over, theatre, and auditioning a lot for TV while I’m here. I may end up being based between Vancouver and Sydney, or somewhere in the next 12 months. It’s all up in the air, and I love living like that! It feels like I live on holidays. TVS Nancy Drew airs on 10 Peach/10 Play

My bizarre outspoken and fearless: those are the principal character traits that define Charlize Theron, the South african bombshell whose brazen attitude towards life is every bit a match for her striking beauty...

R

BOMBS AWAY Charlize with Bombshell co-stars John Lithgow (top), Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie

aised by a strongwilled Dutch-German mother, Charlize Theron learned early on how to stand up for herself nd carve out her own destiny as an independent-minded woman. Growing up on her parents’ isolated farm on the outskirts of Johannesburg, she was as far removed from ollywood you could get.

In the oft-told story, a scout discovered” later discovered he future star after being within earshot of Theron screaming in her distinct frikaans’ accent at a bank teller who refused to cash a cheque her mother had sent so she could pay her rent. This led to her being cast in 2 Days in the Valley (1996), the dark indie satire that marked her feature film debut – and immediately caught the attention of Tinseltown.

“I had been in LA for about 10 months,” Charlize recalls.

“I really didn’t know where my life was going to go... I think my naivety and stupidity kind of helped me in a weird way...

When you’re looking back at your life you have to be

grateful. You sometimes look at things like, ‘I don’t even know how that happened.’

My journey is so bizarre...”

That breakthrough performance rapidly led to a co-starring role opposite Keanu Reeves in The Devils’s Advocate in 1997, followed by a glamorous turn as a vain and impetuous model in Woody Allen’s Celebrity. It wasn’t until her Oscar triumph in Monster, though, that Charlize was able to call the shots on a career that has alternated seamlessly between critically acclaimed indie projects – the latest of which was 2018’s Tully – and the mass-market blockbuster fare of Fate of the Furious, Mad Max: Fury Road, Prometheus and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Throughout this process, Charlize has continued to count on her mother Gerda’s guidance and close friendship, and regularly cites her as a powerful role model.

“My mother has taught me to stand up for myself and be courageous,” she says. “I’m not someone who indulges in

Celebrity Interview 10 Things self-pity and I hate it if I ever start feeling sorry for myself.

I was raised in such a way that I should never allow myself to be the victim, but to take responsibility for my decisions and my actions and live as boldly as possible.”

That attitude has carried over into the stars latest big-screen project: Bombshell.

Following the dramatic fall of Fox News’ kingpin Roger Ailes in the wake of several sexual harassment allegations, Charlize plays anchor Megyn Kelly, who was a network star before becoming engaged in a war of words with President Donald Trump.

“In this story, which is not an isolated case, it’s very common that when a man is seen as ambitious it’s a good thing, but if a woman is seen that way she’s probably seen as a bitch,” Charlize explains.

“So we’re taking that word back. We get to say that word now! That is a systemic problem of how women are perceived in the workplace.

“I relate to Megyn Kelly’s ambition and her drive and her need to reach her full potential and how those qualities can be turned on you so quickly if you step just a little out of place.”

Even more so than many other modern Hollywood flicks, Bombshell’s grounding in real life makes it symbolic of the sea change that has gripped showbiz and the wider community in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and subseque #MeToo movement.

“Emotionally, we have just reached a point that makes me more optimistic about the future,” Charlize muses “because now it’s clear Monster that there will be real consequences for bad behaviour. That’s because of the many courageous women who no longer wanted to be silent. And then finally there is the public response to that has resulted from the media being more alert in listening to women’s voices. And the more that society condemns powerful men like Weinstein for their misconduct towards women the more that men will think twice before engaging in that behaviour.” TVS

ollywood’s most aesthetically stunning stars, such as Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lopez, have access to the best make-up artists. However, they know that good skin is essential to achieving that flawless face.

One of the buzz words in the multi-billion-dollar skincare market is retinoids, a class of chemical compounds that are sources of vitamin A, an ingredient linked to myriad skin repairing benefits, including anti-ageing. Aussie brand ESK – Evidence Skincare, founded by Dr Ginni Mansberg and her husband Daniel Rubinstein in 2012, are proponents of retinoid-based skincare. The company uses the expertise of Australian doctors, dermatologists and scientists to formulate their extensive range of locally made cosmeceutical-grade skincare.

When it comes to antiageing, retinol is often cited as the go-to ingredient for a little help in holding back the years. However, it’s two-stage conversion process to retinoic acid, the only true form of

In the eternal quest for Hollywood-level complexion perfection, retinoids are the new go-to for anti-ageing and healthy tone vitamin A proven to be effective transdermally, can often leave the skin feeling dry, irritated and red.

Pioneering the beauty industry with their evidencebased approach to skincare formulations ESK – Evidence Skincare offers an effective, tolerable alternative in the form of their retinal-based evening serums, Ultimate A and Ultimate A+. Claimed to be as effective as prescription vitamin A, retinal – also known as retinaldehyde – is admired for its ability to assist the stimulation of cell turnover and boost collagen production for fewer lines and wrinkles, smoother skin texture, and reduced acne and rosacea.

Suitable for use with all skin types, the Ultimate A range combines glycolic acid, an AHA, to enhance the bioavailability of the retinal and improve skin exfoliation, and niacinamide (vitamin B3) to help visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, even skin tone, remedy skin dullness, and improve skin barrier function levels.

Formulated for evening use, Ultimate A and Ultimate A+ is tailored to young and mature skin alike, including those prone to sensitivity, and should be used with an adequate SPF during the day to protect skin cells from UV-induced trauma.

Among the significant historic and cultural sites to visit, the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine in Kyoto is famous for parallel row of gates called Senbon Torii. These are donated by individuals and companies, and you’ll find their names inscribed on the back.

Each gate costs 400,000 yen ($5394). The shrine is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice, and there’s also a mountain hiking trail. If you have some spare time, it would be a good idea to check out the Tokyo Tower and to pay your respects at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. TVS

Katherine’s will When Genoa City legend Katherine Chancellor died years ago, a battle royale was expected over her billions and who should get them. Instead, it all went off with a whimper as Devon, the long-lost grandson she’d only found a couple of years previously, was named her beneficiary. Given the recent revisions in Katherine’s will which disinherited Devon, there was hope for the head-scratching sham to be rectified...

Alas, the saga of Katherine’s will has continued down its confusing path by naming Cane, who isn’t even her blood relative, her heir!

An even stranger decision, the only bright spot is the fact that Jill’s

husband Colin has now stolen and hidden the windfall! Hopefully this is a sign that Cane, who’s off searching for the money and the identity of the true heir – believing he’s been named fraudulently – will return home soon and reveal that Jill’s the one who should have Katherine’s money. After all, these two women spent decades at each other’s throats trying to destroy each other before becoming lifelong frenemies...who beneath the surface adored each other!

a tragic Christmas accident leaves Rita injured and tormented as she s forced to face her mortality and her place in her loved ones’ lives...

Octogenarian Rita Tanner is a legend on the cobbles as the face of The Kabin newsagency, but lately she’s discovered being universally adored can have drawbacks!

People can just take it for granted that her cheerful, no-nonsense disposition will always be there for them.

At Christmas, Rita (Barbara Knox) felt more alone than ever. Her loved ones were busy with their own plans and, when a visit to old friend Mavis fell through, she faced a quiet

Christmas Day at home alone.

Her stepdaughter Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) did her best to reach out to her but when she accidentally patronised her, an overreacting Rita accused her of treating her like a charity case. Oh dear!

Those bridges temporarily burned, Rita faced up to a lonely yuletide, putting on a brave face and decorating her tree. Unfortunately, it toppled over and sent Rita crashing to the floor, crushed under its weight! Unable to get

or call for help, Rita was left in dire straits for hours – before she was finally found and rushed to hospital.

Luckily, Rita was alive, although bruised and battered, and while everyone who loves her finally gives her all the attention she’s been craving, she lurches dangerously close to mental despair. The awful accident gives Rita pause for thought as she realises she could’ve perished before she was found. Sinking into misery, she begins to believe she’s

Never one to accept charity or handouts easily – after a lifetime of struggling to make ends meet – Dot hesitated to take the money but finally accepted it was what Dr legg wanted. since then, Dot (June Brown) has been living comfortably, but her carefree lifestyle has been rudely interrupted following a Christmas Day phone call, warning that someone without authorisation has been trying to withdraw thousands of pounds from her bank account.

Several Genoa City’s romances are in jeopardy as the enigmatic Amanda attracts the attention of the menfolk!

Mysterious lawyer Amanda Sinclair’s wasting no time stamping her mark on Genoa City and making an impression on the town’s residents. She’s already made an enemy of Elena, who hates the way she’s gotten under her boyfriend Devon’s skin by helping to disinherit him of Katherine’s head-turning fortune.

As a result, Devon (Bryton James) has been so distracted by the drama – not to mention Amanda’s (Mishael Morgan) identical appearance to his late wife Hilary – that he suffers nightmares and bizarre dreams... Hilary appears to him, tells him her death was just a dream and kisses him... before she turns into Amanda! Not surprisingly, his relationship with Elena (Brytni Sarpy) is suffering and she continues to accuse Amanda of being a golddigger out to nick his fortune.

Devon may be wilting in her presence but so is Billy (Jason Thompson) when he’s stranded with her during a storm. Feeling miserable about his aimless life, Billy finds Amanda to be a rather pleasant distraction that prompts him to put distance between himself and Victoria (Amelia Heinle). Unable to resist, Billy soon grows closer to Amanda and the sexual electricity between them is palpable – he needs to think with his other major organ or risk throwing away everything he has with Victoria...

However, Billy isn’t the only guy Amanda has her eye on. Since coming to town, she’s made close friends with Nate (Sean Dominic), who’s willing to believe that she’s sincere in her actions and has no designs on Devon’s money.

This continues to put him at odds with his girlfriend Abby (Melissa Ordway), who’s a staunch Devon supporter

and deems Amanda a scam artist and dodgy dealer. The antipathy between Nate and Abby only draws him closer to Amanda and, as she enjoys the attention, Nate makes it clear he wants to be more than friends!

One man who isn’t falling for Amanda’s charms is the oft-suspicious Victor (Eric Braeden), who’s had his doubts about the Hilary lookalike for a while. Eager to protect Devon and Katherine’’s legacy, he has his investigators dig into her history and then presents him with a dossier of information, showing that many aspects of Amanda’s past simply don’t add up. This piques Devon’s misgivings about her and he continues the investigation, keen to bring her undone.

If Amanda isn’t who she says she is, many of the town’s romances may be shattered before the truth about her is unearthed! TVS

DENISE delights

Star letter

I’m a big fan of Denise Richards (left) and I’m so happy she’s now on The Bold and The Beautiful. I love that her character shauna is giving Brooke a little competition for Ridge. Can’t the author of the Star letter wait to see will win this great pack from what’s in staeDtleR, valued at store for these three characters this year!

ThAnKYoU FoR The DAYS

Thankyou, TV SOAP, for including more stories and interviews about Days of Our Lives. I’ve been a fan of the show since it first started and I love, love, love the storyline of Marlena and John, Kayla and steve.

The only thing I really wish for is that Peter Reckell would come back as Bo and that he and hope would be a couple again. I heard a rumour that he was considering a return to Days; please tell me that’s true.

Unfortunately, Julie, word from Salem is that Peter Reckell is not reprising the role of Bo Brady. We’re with you, though, and can only, ah, hope that one day he reconsiders and returns to recreate the magic that was Bo and Hope – Ed.
