Ridge, Ali and Ivy are also sitting in on the session looking at any women who may stand out. Nicole (Reign Edwards) wanders into the studio and asks Oliver to snap a few poses of her so she can be considered for one of the positions.

I loved your piece on Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis. Over the years I’ve really enjoyed him take on the role of arch villain, Paul. His storylines are addictive, and make for great TV. However, what I loved most in your interview is how humble he is. I consider Stefan a legend of Australian TV, yet he doesn’t consider himself in the same league as Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart on Home and Away ) or Ian Smith (Harold Bishop). Congratulations on the great work, Stefan! D. Lesley Blacktown, NSW Only One Phyllis As much as I admire Gina Tognoni as an actress, I have to say I do miss Michelle Stafford in the role of Phyllis on The Young and the Restless. It’s always…

Riley Bodenstab (Cole, Days of Our Lives) is back this season as Justified’s Derrick Walters. The actor made his first appearance last year in what was expected to be a short-term role. “The writers really liked my work and brought me back for this season,” he explains. “It’s nice when people want to keep working with you because there is so much disappointment in this industry as an actor, especially when you’re starting out.” Bodenstab experienced a similar situation when he first debuted on Days in 2013. “When I first came in, it was a really small part. My character was described as “Bad Teen Number Two”. I came in with Kevin Riggin [Rory],” he recalls. “We were in a situation where we came on to be the new teens…

I’ve got roughly six months left and I think I’ll move on,” Rosenow revealed in a recent interview. “It’s funny, with my career at this stage, and I know it’s a little bit of a cliché, but I’m heading to LA. I have management, agents, ready to get me there, but I also want to keep an eye on what’s going on in Australia.” In a double blow for Neighbours fans, Rosenow added that her co-star and real-life boyfriend Chris Milligan, who plays Kyle Canning, will also…

Susan Kennedy is not the only one soon to turn 60. With a great sense of pride, Jackie admits she will turn the golden age in February next year, and doesn’t care who knows about it. “I have a feeling we are in a time when we are re-defining all the rules [about TV roles and age],” Jackie says. “It’s happening slowly, but we are doing it.” There was a time when a woman of 60 was relegated to playing a granny or the town gossip. Not now, Jackie insists. “The women working in TV drama are representative of a new generation of women who aren’t playing traditional nanna roles,” she says. “We are all still working, and some of us are still raising children as well as grandchildren.

What does it mean to you personally when you hear that Days viewers are missing seeing Stefano DiMera in Salem? Joseph Mascolo: That makes my heart turn. It’s a very lovely feeling.
