ENJOY YOUR STAY, HELETIA
There's no rest for McLeod's Daughters star Michala Banas now that filming has wrapped up on the series, she's taken on a new challenge - stepping into the shoes of Neighbours favorite Kym Valentine.
With Kym under strict orders to take a month-long break from the show after suffering from pneumonia and a collapsed lung, producers have asked Michala to take over the tole of Libby Kennedy in the interim.
The next episode of McLeod's Daughters to screen in Australia is Series 8 Episode #206 – 'Nowhere To Hide' and this is Michala's final episode on the show.
Her character Kate Manfredi helps a runaway youth return to his parents, then accepts a job running a Church-run farm for wayward youth, leaving Drovers Run.
Kym Valentine has been forced to pull out of the show as she struggles to recover from a collapsed lung and pneumonia.
McLeod's Daughters favourite Michala Banas will step into Valentine's role of Libby Kennedy on the long-running soap from tomorrow as Valentine takes a one-month break to regain her health.
Neighbours executive producer Susan Bower made the difficult and highly unusual decision to bring Banas in to play the character late last week.
Valentine, who has played Libby Kennedy for more than 11 years, said handing the role over to Banas was one of the hardest things she has done. "It is heartbreaking ...but I will be back," she said.
Friday 27 June Michala was interviewed via telephone on the morning radio show of SAFM 107.1 Adelaide (Simulcast on: B105 Brisbane, 929 Perth, 2DayFM Sydney and on FOX Melbourne) regarding her upcoming feature that evening as a guest on the Australian TV game showWheel of Fortune.
The Screen Grabs, Video Clips and the Radio Interview can be viewed and listened to at her galley.
