Olympia Valance // Turning the Paige to start Playing for Keeps
Listen now
Description
This guest is one of my favourite human beings who I've known since way back in our school days! You're in for a solid hour or so of hysterical laughter - I was laughing out loud on the plane editing this, it is FULL of yay. There are many reasons why you might have heard of the beautiful Olympia Valance - her sister Holly, her four years on the iconic Neighbours, her incredible talents on Dancing with the Stars... but today we're celebrating season two of PLAYING FOR KEEPS that starts TONIGHT (Oct 16th) on Channel 10 at 8:30pm. The first season kept us on the edge of our seats with the drama, affairs, and heartbreak of the wives and girlfriends of the fictional Southern Jets AFL club in Melbourne and, as you'll hear Olympia spill, the next season is bigger and better than ever. After earning her stripes as girl-next-door Paige on Neighbours, Olympia absolutely nails her new role as the fiercely powerful, incredibly bitchy but, as time goes on, vulnerable Thalia - wife of the Captain of the team. I won't bang on too much because this episode is longer than usual, but it was one of the most enjoyable hours I've spent finding out more about creating roles, her life outside of acting, the woes of having hobbit feet and everything in between. + Full show notes here + Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah + Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!

Kind of weird to release this now he's already here, but this is the last episode of #yaysofourlives that we recorded while I was still pregnant just reflecting on how it felt, what we were excited about and what we hoped for the next little while. Will have to do a follow up with what ended up...
