“Taylor sets out to undermine Hope and Liam’s marriage – all for Steffy’s benefit!” Like any mother, Taylor has long made it crystal clear that her children’s happiness is her top priority. Lately, however, her efforts to keep Steffy happy have whipped up an atmosphere of turmoil! Although she didn’t know she was actually procuring Hope and Liam’s baby Beth, the fact remains Taylor thought nothing of shelling out a cool $250,000 just so Steffy could adopt a sibling for daughter Kelly! Since then, she’s happily sat back watching contentedly as Steffy revelled in motherhood. Naturally, it comes as a huge shock when Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) summons Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam (Scott Clifton) and drops the bombshell news she’s leaving for Paris – to check on operations at…

Salemites and fans alike have historically been prone to double-takes of confusion whenever either Tony or Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), or both, have darkened the door. While it’s been Andre who’s most recently been skulking around (in spectral form), months after his murder, it’s the long gone, and also dead but slightly more likeable Tony who’s been giving Marlena advice about her current life-or-death plight. Rarely mourned by Salem folks, Tony went to his grave 10 years ago this month while verbally clashing with Philip Kiriakis (Jay Kenneth Johnson) over a valuable fuels project that Tony had acquired from Titan Industries, thus intensifying the Kiriakis/DiMera family feud. Falling down the stairs, Tony was impaled and was pronounced dead soon after, disappearing from Salem permanently… well, until now, that is!…

Can you tell us a bit on how you first were introduced to kickboxing? I went to theatre school and we were trained in tai chi, stage combat, and capoeira as part of the program. I became very close with my stage combat teacher, Sifu [master] Ed Monaghan, as I wanted to play strong female characters and it inspired me to continue my training outside of school. I studied muay thai, jeet kune do, and savate for about five years after that. Where do you normally train and do you have a set routine? When I was still heavily involved in martial arts I’d drive out for about an hour and train at Ekata Training Center [in LA’s Valencia neighbourhood in Santa Clarita]. I spent most of my weekends there.…

Amid a disturbing torrent of manipulative and murderous game-playing, Harriet Dunkley can only conclude that drone pilot Cal Treloar had intimate knowledge of who bombed the Lambert family home in suburban South Australia – and possibly who killed pollie Catriona Bailey! Now, standing over the slain corpse of mysterious computer geek John Smith in an isolated bush shack, Harriet is sure of it. Cal (Laura Gordon) later adds weight to that theory when she covertly confronts Harriet (Anna Torv), frantically and fiercely demanding a one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Ewan Garrity (Don Hany) to be organised by Harriet’s employer, renegade SA Independent MP Karen Koutoufides (Danielle Cormack). Karen holds the balance of power in Parliament and therefore can persuade the PM to participate in almost anything she advocates to keep…

Faced with medical and domestic obstacles to pursuing sexy times with Claudia (Roz Hammond), Pav (Marcus Graham) makes a mistake that may short-circuit his crack at the doctor, if yet another interloper doesn’t do it first! On a mission to find Sully (Koa Nuen) a boyfriend to keep him away from the unsuitable Ash (Phoenix Raei), Iris (Carina Hoang) discovers the delights and pitfalls of Tinder, unaware that her son already has an admirer she knows nothing about! Deepening her blossoming relationship with Ryan (Mitchell Bourke) thanks to a skirmish Watto (Noel O’Neil) incites at the pub, Ana (Cara McCarthy) is unceremoniously caught unawares by the return of an important figure from Ryan’s past in London, someone most anxious to discuss the reason for their sudden appearance. Mark’s (Dan Paris)…

Workplace wellness is a hot topic these days – and for good reason: a lot of us spend more than a third of our waking hours there, at least! And it doesn’t matter if your workplace is the boardroom, living room, office block or a movie set: if you’re not looking after your wellness at work then there’s a good chance you’re not taking good care of your health in other areas of your life. Keeping well at work is actually a combination of factors, from the team rapport with your colleagues, to the availability of healthy meal choices convenient for your location, how much exercise you get in either before, after or during work, and – perhaps most importantly – just how stressful your working environment is. Taking a…

Love at first sight swept Jack away when he first laid eyes on new Jabot chemist Kerry Jones late last year. In a matter of weeks, they became friends, then lovers and Jack’s heart skipped a beat, thinking he’d finally found a woman to spend the rest of his life with, someone he could trust unreservedly. However, behind Jack’s back, Kerry was making secretive phone calls and texts to a mystery person, clearly up to something she didn’t want him to know about! After a while, though, Kerry (Alice Hunter) appeared to knuckle down and has spent the intervening months working diligently at Jabot, while loving Jack (Peter Bergman) at home. She’s even created a signature perfume scent for him – called Jack of Hearts. He’s so taken with the…

Fans of the teen super-soap Beverly Hills, 90210 have been in mourning since the death last month of star Luke Perry, who won hearts as brooding hunk Dylan McKay. The popular actor, who enjoyed a prolific career in TV and movies and earned a legion of new followers from his recent role on Riverdale, died after suffering a massive stroke. He was surrounded by his two children and loved ones in a Los Angeles hospital. While his best-known gigs were on BH, 90210 and Riverdale (which he was still shooting at the time of his death), Luke was beloved for myriad roles kickstarted by his stint on daytime soaps Loving and Another World. Born Coy Luther Perry III in Ohio, he moved to Tinseltown straight out of high school with…

Cash-strapped Underworld owner Carla Connor has been under serious pressure in the last few weeks to commence extensive and expensive repair works to the roof of the lingerie factory. It was damaged when a fire tore through Peter’s boat moored just outside. With limited cash flow and lots of responsibilities, Carla has fatefully chosen to delay the restoration, despite warnings the roof is becoming more rickety with each passing day. Added to her misery is the opposition of her workforce, outraged at being stood down without pay while the premises is closed. Finally, Carla opts to undertake cheaper repairs, outraging the workers into barricading themselves in the Underworld building. Once the demonstration gets more vocal and unruly, with local renegades Gemma and Emma joining the sit-in, Sally and Gina’s decision…

Dita Von Teese Teese, by name... although she’s a sexbomb burlesque queen, the sultry star is a fan of the subtle art of seduction. “I’m quite shy when it comes to flirtation... I don’t make the moves on men; that’s a strict rule of mine. I don’t approach and make moves.” Instead, she says she likes to “put energy across a room” via glances and body language. If the man doesn’t take the initiative, Dita just shrugs it off because she “doesn’t want to be with a meek man” anyway!

Less than a week after the shock death of Luke, there was more sad news for BH, 90210 fans with the loss of screen veteran Jed Allan, who played the recurring role of Rush Sanders, Steve’s (Ian Ziering) dad. He was 84. Jed landed his first major soap role in 1963 on General Hospital, then appeared on  Lassie and The Secret Storm before scoring his most famous daytime part as Days of Our Lives’ Don Craig (1971-85). He delighted as the love interest of leading lady Marlena (Deidre Hall), and later as C.C. Capwell on Santa Barbara where he played Robin Wright’s screen dad. “So sad to hear!

At the turn of the last decade, Rose Byrne took on the role of a ditzy new girlfriend to Russell Brand’s bohemian rocker in the Judd Apatow-produced Get Him to the Greek. It was an odd sideways move for Byrne given her earlier career, beginning with Dallas Doll in her tender teen years and covering nearly every genre from historical drama (Marie Antoinette,Troy), to sci-fi (Sunshine) and even film noir (The Tender Hook). There was also her long-running stint opposite Glenn Close on Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning legal eagle TV series Damages. Get Him to the Greek, meanwhile, was brash, low-brow at times, and very funny. It gave audiences a glimpse of the Sydneysider in a new comedic setting and, after inviting widespread praise, the star went on to…
