Ive never heard the term 'ship' either....... :S
Can Neighbours' Rebecchi family ever catch a break? Just weeks after Toadie lost the use of his legs in a freak bouncy castle accident, there's another crisis next week when he gets caught up in the deadly fire at Erinsborough High.
It's Toadie's wife Sonya who rushes to his rescue in the blaze, so Digital Spy recently caught up with Eve Morey to hear more about her character's heroics. If you're hoping to stay totally spoiler-free though, be warned that our chat does contain details of the outcome.
How did you feel about being part of another big Neighbours stunt?
"Pretty excited! When I first heard about it, they told me that Toadie was going to be trapped in the fire and that I was going to run in to save him. I feel that Toadie is always the one who's saving Sonya, so it was nice to change that this time."
How does Sonya first get involved in the blaze?
"Sonya arrives at the school after the fire has already started and the scene is just chaotic. There's smoke everywhere, there's ambulances outside and Doctor Karl is running around trying to help people.
"Sonya just rocks up going, 'I can't find Toadie! Has anyone seen a man in a wheelchair?' Nobody knows where he is, so she just runs off screaming."
Sounds dramatic! What happens next?
"Sheila mentions that she thinks someone is still inside, so Sonya bolts straight into the school and tries to look for Toadie by screaming his name. She's terrified but eventually she hears something, finds him and starts dragging him out. It's a close call though, because it does get to a point where it's too much for Sonya due to his weight and the smoke."

Sonya shouts for help
Was it a nice change from your regular day at work?
"It was really cool. In the scenes where we could see the special effects for ourselves, it looked like a real fire and it felt like we were on a movie set. It was also nice to be working on a different set, rather than just filming in our kitchen at home or the coffee shop."
Before Sheila saw Sonya, she'd actually abandoned Toadie inside the building. Will that secret cause trouble at some point?
"So far I haven't filmed any scenes where Sonya finds that out. What happens after the fire is that Sheila ends up feeling really guilty and does a whole bunch of really nice stuff for the Rebecchis.
"Sheila looks after Nell, helps out at Sonya's nursery and even helps Toadie to get an appointment to see a specialist about his back. I don't think Sonya ever finds out what Sheila did, but who knows? Maybe it comes up again down the road."
Is there a lot of suspicion over who could have started the fire?
"Everyone suspects Steph because she's randomly there at the school. She ends up helping Sonya to pull Toadie out of the fire, but it does seem weird that she's there."

Steph and Sonya drag Toadie to safety
Sonya doesn't like Steph very much. Do you think her return is going to cause a strain on Sonya's marriage?
"It's a funny one. It's not that Sonya doesn't like Steph, it's just that she doesn't like that Toadie always seems to do crazy things for Steph. I think all of that history is still very much embedded in Sonya's mind.
"Sonya's ultimate fear is that Toadie will realise he's in love with this woman again and leave her. Steph's return is bound to bring up a bit of unease in the relationship, unfortunately. Isn't it a shame that we're on a soap and we can't just live happily ever after?"
Sonya's other enemy Naomi recently left the Street. Were you sad to see Morgana O'Reilly leave the role?
"I was - she's such a wonderful actor and an adorable person as well. It's just a shame that when we got to work together, Naomi was breaking up my character's marriage, which was uncomfortable to play. Then when she stopped doing that, we didn't really get to work with each other again. It was bittersweet in that sense.
"It was nice to see Naomi's character grow so much as a person and as a woman too. In the end there was no bad blood between Sonya and Naomi. I quite liked that, rather than it just being women fighting and hating each other."
It's been a difficult few months for the Rebecchis. Is there any happiness ahead?
"I think there might be some happiness at the end, but it won't be without its share of drama. It's been a wonderful challenge to play the storyline with Toadie using the wheelchair. Everyone has got used to the logistics of the wheelchair and what we have to do with it on set. That's now become part of our life with Neighbours so we don't really think of it anymore, so it'll be another interesting shift when Toadie starts to recover more."
Sonya's best friend Lucas has popped back a couple of times recently. Are you hoping we'll see him a bit more often now?
"Definitely. It's always wonderful to work with Scott [Major] who plays Lucas. I think our characters just have such a history and understanding between each other. It's also nice to be able to show different aspects of Sonya through Lucas - sometimes it's the uglier sides and the more vulnerable sides too.
"If Scott comes back, it also means Alin [Sumarwata] gets to come back as Vanessa and she's just ridiculously amazing too. I wish Lucas and Vanessa could just move back into the Street."
It was also nice to see Morgan Baker make a cameo as Sonya's son Callum recently. Is he another one you'd like to see back more regularly?
"Absolutely - I love him so much. We felt really ripped off because Callum's scene was on Skype, so Morgan came back and shot that separately. I didn't even get to see him because I wasn't in that day.
"We're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll see Morgan again. He's doing his final exams at the moment in Year 12, so I'm hopeful that he'll come back at least as a guest afterwards. I'll just keep hounding him until he does!"
Away from the soap world, you welcomed your first child last year. How are you finding life as a mum?
"It's so awesome. Our little girl Ivy is just wonderful and we've been so lucky. It's like having this beautiful little friend around who's always smiling. It's been good for me in other ways too. I don't cook at all, so I've had to get my act together at home and start to be an adult by making meals and doing all that sort of stuff. It's nice to be able to grow up a little bit myself as well."

Eve Morey & Jonathon Dutton get married in Halloween themed wedding. Eve & Jonathon have been dating since 2011.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/...-ceremony.html
Eve Morey spills the beans on how Sonya saves Toadie - but her actions have devastating consequences...
Toadie and Sonya have been through an awful lot recently...
They have! I think they’re coping well but while they’re doing their best, some cracks are definitely starting to show. They’ve got a lot coming up, which is a culmination of the trauma they’ve been living through over the last few months.
Does Sonya mind Toadie and Steph’s relationship?
I think she doesn’t want to mind but secretly she does! When Sonya joined the show, it took her a long time to let Toadie into her life and then when she finally did let him in, he broke up with her because at that time she believed he was in love with Steph and was going to marry her. She later found out that was all a lie but it made her realise how much he was willing to sacrifice for her and it made Sonya very uneasy.
Have Sonya’s fears returned since Steph came back to town?
Yes. When Steph’s away, Sonya can put her feelings to one side and get on with things but now they’re resurfacing again. She doesn’t think Steph and Toadie are going to run off and get married but it’s more to do with how far Toadie’s willing to go to protect his friend. That’s what Sonya doesn’t like.
What does Sonya make of Belinda’s threats to Toadie?
Sonya finds the fact that Steph and Belinda had a relationship while Steph was in hospital really inappropriate. Now Belinda is accusing Toadie of manipulating her romance with Steph and Sonya’s has enough. Even on the morning of Toadie’s surgery on his spine, Belinda threatens him. Sonya just thinks she’s crazy!
Then Sonya realises that Belinda is going to be part of the team doing Toadie’s surgery...
She completely panics and goes to the nurse and implores her to do something but the nurse just doesn’t take Sonya seriously. Sonya’s forced to take matters into her own hands and she finds the operating theatre that Toadie has been taken to and bursts right in. It’s quite absurd but it’s soap and you can get away with it!
What on earth is going through her mind as she runs in?
She just wants Belinda out of that room. She believes this woman is capable of anything and quite rightly so as she’s unhinged!
Then there are some quite serious consequences to her interupting the surgery, right?
Yes, we know there are some complications but we don’t know what they are at first... Sonya thinks she’s going to stop Toadie from walking again but in the end it becomes something much more complicated: he’s actually infertile! Apparently there’s a really rare thing where the surgeon nips something and even though it’s surgery on Toadie’s spine, there’s this condition that can come from something like that. Although they weren’t planning on having any more kids any time soon, to have that taken away from them is really tough. It’s especially hard because it’s something Sonya’s caused.
How does Toadie feel about the whole thing when he finds out?
He initially wants to keep if from Sonya because he doesn’t want her to feel bad. She was like Superwoman to him when she came to rescue him in theatre and he would have absolutely done the same thing for her. The problem is, he confides in Steph about it first and Sonya keeps catching these stolen moments between them and starts misreading it. When Sonya finally finds out, there’s tension between them. It isn’t because he blames Sonya for what happened but because of how she then handles the situation with Steph and Belinda afterwards. Let’s just say it isn’t one of her finest moments.
Belinda claims that Steph’s in love with Toadie, doesn’t she?
Yes and then Sonya does something that I think is pretty out of character for her. She comes up with a plan to get Belinda and Steph back together so that she can get Steph out of her lives. As an actor, I had to really justify why she would do this and remember that this is a woman who has got issues with Steph and Toadie’s past together. Also, there’s the fact that Naomi once desperately tried to break up their marriage. This is another crescendo in what has been a huge year for them and she’s just emotionally exhaused, so it seems like a good idea!
Deep down, does Sonya really think that Steph might have romantic feelings for Toadie?
Both Toadie and Steph are very comfortable in their friendship and that’s why they find it so hard to understand that Sonya sees Steph as a threat. It might not be a romance between them but what Sonya doesn’t get is how their bond is so strong it makes Toadie act out of character in an attempt to protect Steph. Also, given Sonya’s past and all the issues she worked through, the thought of Toadie being taken away is just too much to bear.
There’s a storyline comiong up that could bring Sonya and Steph closer together, isn’t there?
Yes, once she manages to move past the whole Steph-and-Toadie thing, she starts to realise that actually she and Steph have got a fair bit in common - especially because at some point they have both been estranged from their son. Steph’s got a fight on her hands when it comes to her son Charile and Sonya can totally sympathise with her. They aren’t best buddies yet but they have both done things in their pasts that they’re not proud of and they’re both working hard to put that behind them. They’re more similar than they realise.
Together forever!
Toadie and Sonya are perfect for each other - and no one loves them more than Eve! “They’re a great couple and the pair of them will move on from this and things will get better,” she gushes. “Toadie will recover from his injuries and going into next year we see Sonya establishing herself as a bigger part of the community. Ryan (Moloney, who plays Toadie) and I are very protective of Toadie and Sonya and we love that they’re a couple in soap who work through stuff. We couldn’t be more proud!”

sonya is another who could be killed off with paige for me so god damn annoying
I usually like Sonya but she's certainly annoying at the moment believing what wacko Belinda says about Steph and Toadie. :wall:Quote:

Toadie and Sonya put their marriage woes to one side when Steph has to fight for her right to be a mother.
Plagued by insecurities, Sonya has not only caused an unnecessary delay in Toadie’s surgery by bursting into the operating theatre but tried to push Steph and Belinda back together to quash any feelings Steph might have for her husband. Both incidents have consequences for Sonya (Eve Morey), although the most devastation is the side effect of her interruption to Toadie’s (Ryan Moloney) spinal operation - he’s infertile.
In an attempt to get their relationship back on track, Sonya suggests counselling and Toadie agrees. However, he is distracted when, out of the blue, Steph (Carla Bonner) gets a phone call from Max’s new wife, Phillippa, telling her she’s thinking about adopting Charlie (Xander McGuire). Steph needs Toadie’s support but he is supposed to be at couples’ therapy with Sonya. Though Steph begs him to stay, he leaves to be with his wife.
The counselling session goes well but Toadie and Sonya return to find Steph upset after hearing about Phillippa’s adoption.
Discovering Toadie left Steph when she needed him most, Sonya feels bad. She believes Toadie should have stayed, as Steph is like family.
The Rebecchis add a picture of Charlie to their family photo collection on the mantlepiece and Toadie and Sonya tell Steph they will fight with her for her right to be Charlie’s mother.

Sonya gets more active in local issues but also discovers the pain involved.
Never one to shy away from a cause Sonya (Eve Morey) is given a new sense of purpose in upcoming episodes of Neighbours. Both a passionate environmentalist and always keen to help a friend in need, Sonya may be about to stumble on her true callling.
She is first spurred into action when she and Aaron (Matt Wilson) find out the community centre is under threat of being demolished. They urge new council member Tim Collins (Ben Anderson) to fight their cause at the next meeting. He agrees to speak to council but shocks the pair by not only letting the demolition plans go through but becoming the new mayor.
Her next battle is to stop the love locks on the bridge from being removed. It was her son Callum’s (Morgan Baker) idea to have couples put padlocks on the bridge as a symbol of their love for one another and Sonya is determined to save them. She chains herself to the bridge until the council backs down but instead they close the bridge to public access. At a loss as to what to do next Karl encourges her to run for mayor.
While waiting for Paige (Olympia Valance) and Mark’s (Scott McGregor) wedding to get underway, Karl and Susan help Sonya film a campaign video. They put it online and get plenty of positive feedback but the reactions of online haters and campaign rival Tim cause Sonya to question her decision.
TV Soap
I like the thought of Tim Collins becoming the new mayor. Hopefully we'll see more of him.
Hope she will be successful :)
https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...b3&oe=5742BE4F
Times are tough for Sonya as she takes on the challenge of running for mayor. In the process, she discovers long-hidden strengths.
Erinsborough is about to get a new mayor and Sonya Rebecchi seems like the perfect person for the job; at least that’s what Eve Morey (who plays her) thinks. “There’ve been mayors [on the show] before, Paul and Lou and I’m not sure that they’re community minded so much as they liked the power of it,” she says. “I think it’s nice to have someone in the role who actually cares about what she’s doing and Sonya, more than a lot of the [other] characters, is trying to be a global citizen.
“She’s into environmental issues, community issues and stuff like that, so on that level it’s great. Then the evolution of her as a person, from where she’s been in the pastwith her addictions and so on to being a leader of the community, I think it’s awesome.”
The road to campaign victory isn’t smooth sailing for Sonya (Morey). She is competing against Tim Collins (Ben Anderson) who goes out of his way to make things difficult, offering Sonya a job with the council if she pulls out of the race and bribing Tyler (Travis Burns) to ask difficult questions during the mayoral debate. Things get even more tense between Sonya and Tim when his car is vandalised and he accuses Sonya of doing it, leading to her almost getting arrested. While difficult for Sonya to go through, Morey says these scenes have been enjoyable to film.
“Tim Collins is pretty full on, he really goes for the throat but Ben who plays Tim is awesome and he’s such a wonderful actor. Even though he’s doing all these awful things to my character, it’s like when Naomi (Morgana O’Reilly) was trying to break up Sonya’s marriage, you have to do all these uncomfortable scenes where people are plotting against you but as an actor it’s really fun because they’re so good. I think it’s how awful he is that makes Sonya realise she has to fight the good fight because if she doesn’t no one else will.”
Despite thinking she’s lost the campaign, Sonya actually wins but is soon overwhelmed by competing demands and concerns about the Lassiters development and a proposal to remove trees from the park for a drainage system. This is all on top of Sonya’s home life and work responsibilities, which makes you wonder how she can cope with it all.
“I think it’s the support of the people around her [that help her],” says Morey. “What she realises is you get into politics and you have all these really great intentions, then all of a sudden you have to compromise on some in order to get other things passed.
“She learns very quickly that she really has to be across things and I think she’s buoyed with confidence when she can actually help the community by finding there may be compromises but she doesn’t necessarily have to compromise what she believes in, in order to do the job.”
Just as Sonya is giving her first speech as mayor her nerves are compounded by heckles from protestors angry about the tree removal. Plus, Erinsborough is suffering a heatwave, leading Sonya to have a meltdown and burst into tears. Is her time as mayor over before it’s begun?

Sonya discovers she’s got a secret sister - but that’s not the end of Walter’s bombshells!
Sonya’s in a tight spot this fortnight when she’s called into work and doesn’t have anyone to watch Nell. Luckily, estranged dad Walter is on hand to help out - but this leads to a big secret being revealed!
After a long day at work, Sonya’s nervous about what state Nell will be in when she arrives home. Instead of the chaos that she expected from her long-lost dad, she walks into a serene environment where Nell has been fed, bathed and even put to bed without any disasters!
However, just when Mrs R is about to praise Walter for his help, his phone beeps and a mysterious message pops up, leaving Sonya convinced once again that her dad is not telling them everything about why he’s recently come to Erinsborough.
After sharing her concerns with hubby Toadie, the pair do some digging on Walter and find out his ex-wife, Roxanne, has a 14-year-old daughter. So does this mean Sonya has a half-sister that she didn’t know about?
Sonya confronts her dad about Zoe, the secret sibling and he confirms that she is indeed Sonya’s sister. That’s not his only bombshell of the day - Zoe has leukaemia and needs a bone-marrow transplant... and Walter wants Sonya to be tested ASAp to see if she’s a match.
Sonya takes some time to process this news - but being the kind-hearted Mrs Rebecchi that we all know and love, of course she agrees to meet Zoe and have the test done to see if she could help save the young girl’s life.
When the sisters come face to face they get on like a house on fire but just as Sonya becomes determined to help her long-lost sibling, the hospital staff reveal she’s not a match after all.
As the family reel from the news that Sonya won’t be able to help Zoe, they all struggle to realise that this could have been the last chance of saving her life.
Then cunning Walter leaves the whole room stunned when he suggests they should get little Nell tested too. Will Sonya put her daughter through something so major to help her new sister?
What happens next?
Sonya and Toadie have got some serious thinking to do.
All About Soap
Why not ask Jade about this before Nell?
Neighbours is lining up a double baby bombshell this festive season, and we can now reveal who will actually be involved.
Sonya Rebecchi will be one character to get a positive pregnancy result after a successful round of IVF for Mark Brennan and Steph Scully, while All About Soap also reports that Paige Smith will suspect she's pregnant as well.
However, both scenarios come with a host of problems. In Sonya's case, the timing couldn't be worse as the cracks are starting to show in Steph and Mark's relationship, as well as her own.
With Steph unsure over whether she wants the baby at all, Sonya's pregnancy will certainly throw a spanner in the works. But let's not forget that Sonya's husband Toadie was hardly doing cartwheels over her decision in the first place.
Fans will have to wait and see just how the plot unravels, but we reckon another twist could throw up an even bigger problem for Sonya.
As for Paige, well, the outcome of her pregnancy test hasn't been confirmed, but Olympia Valance did previously tease a big shock on the way for both her and her on-off lover Jack.
Upcoming scenes will see the pair reach an agreement over their recent one-night stand and promise to focus on the future as friends.
But if Paige is pregnant, all of that would have to change. What will she do? And more importantly, would Jack be forced to turn his back on his calling as a priest?
Digital Spy
I was hoping it would be toadies instead. would have been a nice twist, but I suppose they would have picked that up when Sonya had tests.
I don't know that paternity can be detected that early in the pregnancy so it's possible it could still be Toadie's (though he and Sonya ought to have been abstaining from sex throughout the process).Quote:

That's why I thought it's unlikely to be toadies. And if she got pregnant from before the start of the process, then it would have been detected in the tests, I would have thought.
I see what you mean. I would have thought they'd do a pregnancy test before starting IVF, but given the silly way this storyline has been written I think it being Toadie's baby is a definite possibility.Quote:

That will inevitably change if Brennan and Sonya are having a baby together and develop an even stronger emotional bond. I have my doubts Steph will feel like its mother even if she and Mark are together - if they split, she'll possibly have no maternal feelings whatsoever towards the baby.Quote:

Sonja is historically unstable re her kids, I mean she only got with Toadie as it was the only avenue she had to get to Callum, all that walking guide dogs nonsense. Shes like Susan a self destructive do gooder, who causes more pain in others than any of the villains on the show.
If I was Toadie I would of walked on day one when Sonja told him last that she would be the biological mother of a child for two people who have never made commitments to each other and were unable to live with each other,Indeed Steph has already dumped Mark once this month. Sonja may have altruistic motives but they are built on sand.
Paige, caught after a life or death crash situation the Priest stripped her naked than had his way with her in that shed when she was at her most vulnerable. Thats how I saw it, now hes trying to back track wearing again the collar that he threw down when his lust made him defy his vows. If he has created life it was what we are designed to do and hopefully he can find a way into some other religion that allows love of a partner the way whoever/whatever created or threw us together meant.
Other wise Jack just represents as a person who isnt really a nice entity and is just hiding his true selfish wants behind his dog collar.
Yep, Jack's behaviour has been quite despicable. I hope he and Paige don't get together because I think she's too good for him (and I'm not Paige's biggest fan).
Sonya may have convinced herself (and everyone else involved) that her motives are altruistic, but I don't see it that way. I usually like her very much, but in my opinion she's the driving force behind the surrogacy because she's desperate to carry another child. And now she's convinced herself she can give her own baby away for goodness sake! :wall:
Yes Splashy! A standing ovation for you! Mark and Steph don't live together so what are they going to do with this baby, pass it back and forth over the garden fence? As for Jack and Paige- boring, end it already.
I'm still rooting for Jack and Paige. I do think he's been a bit of a prick lately but I think they have a strong underlying chemistry.Quote:

.... its called lust !!!Quote:

Paige is changing her moods and outlook to fit in with Jack ... still trying to reel him in.
They had the moment in the shed - but it was lust ..... the biological factors were far from their minds .... hence NOT making it a good reason to get together to bring up a baby.
Jack may decide to "do the right thing" for a baby ... but someone so entrenched in his own religion .... it will put him in emotional turmoil which means emotionally he wont have enough to deal with Paige, baby and his own daemons.
The lust/emotional bonds are few and far between - a lot of the tensions are in conflict - NOT - a bonding connection. As far as Paige is concerned .... he is denying her what she always gets ... her own way. And that is the challenge.

think sonya will be preggers by toad not brennan who obviously sonya wants to get in his pants and really cant blame her
will it be affair for her and marky
Sonja is such a messed up lady, the only reason she got with Toady was to get to her lost son and even then she diverted to the real father over the Toadster.
The very fact Mark was willing to for go Steph and his engagement celebration to cowl down to the surrogates demand spoke volumes, he even had the gall to criticise Toad for not pandering to Sonja in this stressful time.
Sonja I just know is going to twist this all back on Toad and his ex wife issues, then seek solace in Mark who will of split from a resentful Steph at this point.
And the twist as commented above will probably be that its Toads kid, no one said they had stopped relations before the turkey baster was employed.
Sonya is actually going to supportive of Toadie's search of Dee despite popular opinion and assumptions of herQuote:

She lost me when she whipped that envelope out of the drawer and demanded to know what was up in front of Steph and Mark, putting her husband on the spot. She is selfish and has no inclination of giving that baby to anyone when its born.Quote:

Neighbours’ Eve Morey on Sonya’s miscarriage storyline: ‘I cried for six months’
Eve Morey has put in an incredible performance as Sonya Rebecchi.
Sonya’s heartbreaking storyline has seen her lose her baby and husband all within a week.
Sonya watched as Toadie – a fan favourite and one no one thought capable of infidelity – cheated on her during his trip to London chasing an impostor who posed as his dead ex, after he forgot to end their Skype call. Sonya then went on to miscarry her surrogate baby, leaving her world crashing down around her.
Eve spoke exclusively to Metro.co.uk about her harrowing storyline, which has seen six months of tears for the mayor of Erinsborough.
‘What’s on air now we filmed in the last few months of last year and I was wrecked by the end of it,’ she told Metro.co.uk. ‘Normally you have a storyline that lasts six weeks, and then we move on. It’s tested my abilities.’
In scenes in recent weeks, viewers have seen Sonya becoming increasingly distressed at seeing Toadie getting closer to his ex, which culminated in him cheating while still logged onto Skype with Sonya.
‘I remember when they told us and I was like “NO! You can’t do that! You cannot do that!” and they were like “we’re doing it!” and now it’s done. How do you unsee that,’ she said.
And THAT scene – where she watched Toadie have sex with Dee – was done in one take, with Eve watching the scene for the very first time to capture her real emotions.
‘As I was filming that, I said I didn’t want to watch it before and try and do it in one take. They recorded my reaction on the laptop as well and it was horrific to watch.
‘By the end of it I put the computer down because I didn’t want to watch it. That wasn’t in the script, I was supposed to watch the whole thing, but I was like “There is no way she could sit there and watch”.’
Eve and Ryan (Toadie) have worked together for eight years and have formed a pretty close bond, so you’d think she’d be completely against Toadie and Sonya’s split.
Turns out, she was the one who suggested it.
‘I was really uncomfortable with them breaking up, I didn’t want them to be the couple who had the affair, but it happened. The writers always said if it is going to happen he would only ever cheat with Dee, and they also said, to break Toadie and Sonya up you’d need a double whammy,’ she said.
‘They always asked me “what would make Sonya drink again?” And I was like you’d have to push it pretty far because she’s got Nell now and wouldn’t jeopardise it. But if she lost Nell, lost a child, and lost Toadie that would do it. So they went “OK” and they wrote that.’
But should they get back together?
‘When it played out and I watched it, I was like “oh my god these two people shouldn’t be together, they need to sort this **** out!”‘
But can she see them rekindling their relationship?
‘I’d like them to get back together, but I think there needs to be a lot of development. Toadie needs to understand why that’s happened. He does keep saying ‘I love you’ but it’s kind of not good enough.
‘There’s not a lot in our culture for men to open up and seek help. It would be good for Toadie to set an example.’
And it’s not difficult to get into her devastated character’s shoes – she just has to tap into the real emotions of the relationship she and Ryan have built up over the years
‘Toadie and I have been together that entire time, we have eight years of history of falling in love, having kids, it’s easy to put yourself in that place because you have that whole life to draw on. I get very invested in them. I am incredibly empathetic towards them, so I get into their head space.
‘When you’re in the scene you let yourself stay there. The baby stuff is very, I find that very distressing since becoming a mother.’
But it was acting the scenes of losing baby Caitlyn that got Eve the most, especially having become a mother herself.
She said: ‘It’s the unspoken rule that if someone is going to lose a baby you don’t show them with a bump or anything like that. It’s almost like that’s too distressing, so we pushed it to a point she’s losing the baby at 20 weeks so she would definitely be showing. That I think made it even more real.
‘We couldn’t actually say it, but Sonya would have had to given birth. It would have been still born, and that is very full on.’
