Mark and Paige had no chemistry at all. It was all so forced & awkward. They have nothing in common. Mark wants kids, Paige doesn't want kids.Quote:

Paige is immature. She proved that by dumping Mark's belonging on the floor outside the station. It was partly Paige's fault that Mark had to take time off work, as she started the argument. She then started a fight with Steph. Mark finally realised how immature Paige is. Paige used both Mark and Tyler. Last year she used Tyler to get out of lunch with Toadie & Sonya and told mark she had a big order on at work. Paige didn't LOVE Mark. She told Lauren that Mark was the safe option. Paige doesn't want safe. She wants to have fun. She is 21. The whole proposal was a lie. She should have told Mark the truth in the first place and broke up with him like she was planning on doing.
Mark and Steph are quite fun together. They have things in common. Both ride bikes. Which Paige doesn't.
A lot of hard work went into producing some of the most dramatic scenes Neighbours has ever had for the Lassiters explosion. Olympia Valance, who stars as Paige, tells TV Soap what it was like.
What stunts and effects were involved in filming your scenes during the explosion?
It’s always a lot of fun filming huge scenes like these because they’re very different to the usual goings on in Erinsbrough! Safety is extremely important to make sure no one actually gets hurt. We have a number of stunt doubles and safety supervisors who ensure all the proper precautions are being taken. I have to give a special mention to the art department - they made each set look absolutely incredible - it truly felt as if we had been caught up in a real-life explosion.
How did working on the explosion scenes compare to your past storylines?
Paige has managed to get herself caught up in a couple of catastrophes, the other major one being the school fire, which happened last year. My scenes during the fire were solely in an elevator with Travis Burns (Tyler), so we were a bit isolated from the rest of the action. This time, I was well and truly caught up in the middle of it.
What do you enjoy about doing these more action-packed storylines?
Storylines like this force you out of you comfort zone. I had to put a lot more time and effort into preparing these scenes and as a result I felt myself grow as an actor. I walked away from the two weeks of filming and was proud of the work I’d done - I’m super excited to see it play out on air.
Can you describe how Lassiters looked after it had been transformed for the explosion?
It looked like an absolute mess! The art department did an incredible job. When we walked onto set fro the first time we were shocked by the transformation. There was a lot of debris, dust, collapsing concrete and loose wires. The inner workings and structures of Lassiters were literally blown apart!
What did you learn as an actor while filming this storyline?
It was emotionally exhausting. I went home every night and basically collapsed into bed! It was very taxing on my body and pulling that level of emotion out of you for hours and hours at a time, day in, day out, really drains you. I learnt how important it is to look after yourself outside of filming - I tried to keep up my training and was eaiting really well. Your body is going through a lot, so you have to do what you can to help it out.
A few of the characters lives are hanging in the balance. Were you emotional about the possibility of cast mates leaving?
Of course! It’s like farewelling a member of your family! We are all very close. We spend up to 12 hours a day together, either on set of in the green room. Everyone is always emotional when there’s the chance that someone could be leaving.
How do you think fans will react to the explosion and it’s aftermath?
It’s all pretty shocking and devastating! Fans will be on the edge of their seats the entire time. This is the best week of television Neighbours has ever put to air. It’s going to change the Ramsay Street residents’ lives forever.

Can we put in a request for Paige to be killed off? :p
Well, maybe John Doe ends up being the new love interest but you never know, they may find each other again! :DQuote:

Of course Steph would be so selfish as to not tell Mark that Paige wanted him back when she came to visit her to apologise then caught them out... Although I don't blame Steph cause Mark is a hottie! LOL.

For me Mark and Paige are good together...sadly writers have made her become the way she is which doesn't suit her.
We can hope that they do end up together again in the near future.. I don't like Mark and Steph at all... They look fake together..

Neighbours star Olympia Valance: 'I begged the producers not to kill me off'
And they're happy to keep her character alive.
Olympia Valance may want to take a break or two from Neighbours, but she has no intentions of leaving the show for good.She's explored other work in films and modelling, but she always wants her character Paige Smith to be able to head back to Erinsborough.
"I begged the producers not to kill me and they've promised not to," Olympia told The Herald Sun.
"I've always said I might want a little break... or go away for a few months, but God, please don't take away my character because I might want to come back."
In December 2014, Olympia became the face of lingerie brand Gossardand has since fronted several campaigns for the company.
In January this year, she signed with the same Hollywood agent who looks after Chris Hemsworth and his brother Liam.
"I am very, very, very, very lucky, because people go over there and work their asses off to find an agent, but these guys came to me," she said at the time.
"We work closely already and they know that I am on a TV show here, but they just want to keep the relationship going until we can do other things."
So Neighbours is her plan B if she can`t get any Hollywood work.
:hmm:
She is leaving next May
oh no a whole year moreQuote:

People often go before their contracts end. Daniel certainly hasn't been in Neighbours for 3 years! Just haven't seen Olympia announce anything definite anywhere.Quote:

Whatever, Daniel still went too early. I think Imogen and Josh left a bit early. They leave to tie in with stories. May be the same for some others too.Quote:

(Which kind of confirms that he was given another 1 year contract) but Tim was happy to stay another year after that or even longer. He said it a few times in 2015 that he would be happy to stay a long term on Neighbours. It seems that in 2014 he didn't plan to stay longer but he later changed his mind and was happy to stay 'forever' ;)
Do you want me to find the exact source to confirm that or are you happy with what Peridita posted at #12. I think it is from Digital Spy but I couldn't see it clearly that's just my guess.
Below is one of the many sources which confirm that he was given initially 12 months contract:

Probably you are right in some situations it is the case. But the actors who played Imogen and Josh had 3 years contracts and they stayed 3 years. Daniel (Tim) had two 1 years contracts and he left as he hasn't been given further contract.Quote:

I read somewhere here that the young actors usually are given 3 years contracts to bond them for that time. And later the young actors usually try their luck overseas.
Neighbours airs a shock accident for Paige Smith later this month as she's knocked unconscious while boxing.
Paige (Olympia Valance) is trying to take her mind off her complicated love life when things go badly wrong for her.
Upcoming Neighbours episodes will see Paige left devastated when Father Jack Callahan chooses the church over her, which leads to her going on the rebound by sleeping with Tyler Brennan.
Needing an escape from so much drama, Paige decides to do some good by lending her punching bag to the Outreach programme - much to the delight of Jack.

Paige Smith takes part in some boxing in Neighbours

Paige's mum Lauren can see that she's deliberately trying to put herself in Jack's orbit again and urges her to keep her distance, but her warnings fall on deaf ears.
When Paige later spots a shirtless Jack sparring with his friend Dustin Oliver, she's once again confronted by her attraction to Jack and decides to take out her frustrations by taking his place in the ring.
It doesn't take long before Paige's involvement ends very badly as a punch knocks her out cold, but as a horrified Jack watches on, could this make him realise how deeply he feels for her?

Now it looks like the fight's going ahead, I just hope we don't get the totally unrealistic scenario of Paige winning it.
I want Paiges adoptive father John Smith to be cast that would be a great storyline who agrees
Neighbours star Olympia Valance enters talks to extend her contract
Olympia Valance is contracted to appear in Neighbours until early next year, but she is hoping to stay on Ramsay Street for a little while longer.
The Herald Sun reports that Valance has asked producers to extend her contract by another six to eight months, meaning she could be on screen until at least early 2018.
"I love my job and I don't feel ready to leave just yet and they were happy to have me for a bit longer," the actress said.
Although she wants to carry on playing the role of Paige Smith in the popular Aussie soap, it has been reported that she's been filming pilot projects in London.
"The pilot was called Ghetto Heaven and was unlike anything I have done with Neighbours," she said.
"It was gritty, it was dirty, I was really nervous about going over there and doing it because I have never done anything like it before, but it turned out to be amazing and I was surprised at my ability."
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...-her-contract/
It's nice that she's not desperate to leave the first chance she gets to "crack Hollywood" like so many other young soap stars.
I see the green eyed monster showed its head when Paige clocked the ex from Jacks past !!! didn't take long did it ....
Would she consider abortion? Fr. Jack will be against
Has it ever been done on Neighbours
I don't think that Paige will abort but she might try to keep the pregnancy hidden or consider adoptionQuote:
