Olympia Valance // Turning the Paige to start Playing for Keeps

Published: Oct. 15, 2019, 11:40 p.m.

b'This guest is one of my favourite human beings who I\\u2019ve known since way back in our school days! You\\u2019re 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 \\u2013 her sister Holly, her four years on the iconic Neighbours, her incredible talents on Dancing with the Stars\\u2026 but today we\\u2019re 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\\u2019ll hear Olympia spill, the next season is bigger and better than ever.\\n\\nAfter 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 \\u2013 wife of the Captain of the team. I won\\u2019t bang on too much because this episode is longer than usual, but it was one of the most enjoyable hours I\\u2019ve spent finding out more about creating roles, her life outside of acting, the woes of having hobbit feet and everything in between.\\n\\n+ Full show notes here\\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\\n+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!'
