Jacqueline McKenzie is envious. The Aussie actress is jealous that TV SOAP has already seen the first two eps of her new show Pine Gap. And she should be.

In the first episode a civilian plane is shot down by terrorists near an APEC summit featuring the US President and the Australian PM. The international staff at Pine Gap – co-led by Kath Sinclair (Jacqueline McKenzie) – must find out who did it… and why.

History dictates that our favourite “Tramp from the Valley” (as Stephanie once dubbed her) has never been averse to sexily canoodling with another whenever she’s gone off Ridge. Some of those guys have been lawyers so the idea that Judge McMullen could be her next conquest isn’t so far-fetched. In 1993, while battling Forrester Creations for ownership and control of BeLieF, the formula she created and wanted to patent to prevented fabrics wrinkling, Brooke bedded Connor Davis (Scott Thompson Baker), the lawyer who represented her. She also submitted to a sexy kiss with Steve Crown (Perry Stephens), the Forrester Creations legal eagle Stephanie had hired to pose as Brooke’s masseur to seduce her right out of her crease-free clothes! Similarly, Brooke often rebounded into Bill’s embrace whenever her irritation with…

WHO is sexy Rex? For a guy who supposedly descended into Salem from a spaceship along with twin sister Cassie (Alexis Thorpe) during a meteor shower, half-naked and wearing a skimpy tinfoil skirt, there was a lot of mystery and lot to admire about the genetically blessed (literally) Rex! Initially, it was believed that Rex and Cassie, then known as the Gemini Twins, were genetically engineered productions of Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) lunatic henchman Dr Rolf (Will Utay)! In reality, they were finally unmasked as the biological offspring of Roman (Josh Taylor) and Kate (Lauren Koslow). During Roman’s years as Stefano’s captive (1981-84), the DiMera don harvested Roman’s sperm and fertilised it, using Kate’s ova (she was Stefano’s personal prostitute at the time!). However, Kate didn’t carry the twins; that onerous…

She’s back onscreen in Netflix’s Good Witch... but we’re showing our age by saying we just loved Catherine Bell in JAG! She played Major Sarah MacKenzie opposite David James Elliott on the navy lawyer drama – and it’s hard to believe it’s more than a decade since that show ended. Good Witch, renewed for a fifth season, stars Catherine as a single mother with a gift for white witchery in smalltown Middleton, US. Her co-stars include former Desperate Housewives and JAG actor James Denton and young Bailee Madison. Offscreen, Catherine’s mum to Gemma, 15, and Ronan, eight. The slim brunette – she’s 50 and beautiful – seems to have turned back time when we meet for her cosy chat with TV SOAP about how telly’s evolved, her hit show and…

She joined forces with Julianne Moore on her National Gun Violence Awareness project and was involved in the campaign Demand A Plan, in which celebs appealed to help put an end to gun crimes in 2012.

Enthusiastic, charming and naturally at ease with people, Lincoln has wasted no time winning over patients and colleagues at Shortland Street Hospital. None more so than the openly gay Jack, who has been lured into friendship with him thanks to Lincoln’s free and easy attitude to sex and open relationships. Now the buddies have gone one step further and are conducting “chemistry experiments”. Both men have a long history with illicit substances – and Jack’s fall from sobriety is coming back to haunt him. Liberal-thinking Lincoln believes it’s no big deal that Jack recently overdosed on meth as he takes “P” for his own pleasure, knowing it’s never affected his on-the-job performance. Unfortunately, Jack’s father Mo thinks differently and has evicted Jack from the Hannah house over his relapse. The…

Raven-haired Erika Cane embodied what many female All My Children fans aspired to: the idea of having it all; brains, beauty, lots of admirers and eventually a family. Of course, there were two sides to this. Those fans didn’t necessarily want to scheme to get there and leave lots of broken hearts and marriages in the stormy aftermath! Nevertheless, Erika was the vixen with a heart they loved to hate for many years on the hit soap. Maybe that’s why she was nominated for the Daytime Emmy 19 times during her 41 years on the show (she finally won one in 1999; AMC was cancelled in 2011). Either way, gorgeous Susan recalls those years – and the fame and fortune the show brought her – fondly. Now 71, she’s on…

Opting for an out-of-the-blue wedding to Thorne (Ingo Rademacher), Katie (Heather Tom) is critically aware that walking into court with a loving husband, and father figure to Will (Finnegan George), is the best possible ammunition she could have in her bid to defeat Bill (Don Diamont).

It’s been 12 years since Eric Brady left Salem so it’s a huge shock for Nicole when she suddenly runs into her ex-boyfriend in Horton Square.

Finding the time would have to be the number one hurdle people cite to me for not getting enough exercise. And while most of us have busy schedules – including our favourite A-List celebrities – the key to living a healthy life is really just taking the time to stop and give your body what it needs to feel good. Sometimes this may mean taking a leisurely walk, at other times a more vigorous workout, a yoga class or perhaps even a little meditation to rebalance our body. Whatever level of movement your body needs, anything that can make it easier for you to do is going to help. So here are 10 exercises you can do with absolutely no equipment, minimal space and on a short time frame, too.…
