Well, of course it would be wrong wrong wrong to "replace" SMG with anyone at this point. But Holly is gorgeous, she can act (shut up! she can so!!) and I can see her pulling off the action stuff, so in some parallel universe I think she'd be great!

t edit Plus I make a point of disagreeing with anything Wil Anderson or any other JJJ announcer thinks.

Strawberry disappointment.

Unfortunately she has that problem where she looks like a frog. And a surprised one at that. Maybe the frog was surprised at getting offered the role of Buffy.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I don't know from the acting, but I'm perfectly willing to credit it - don't watch Neighbours these days, but she wouldn't be the first talented actor to have done a stint on a soap. However, I saw her playing the piano and singing that song, and I thought she was jolly good. Props to her. (I mean, she's only wee, isn't she? Still in her teens?) But the prospect of her appearing on BtVS or any spinoff? Not big, imutterlyuninformedho

Me? I'm with Wil Anderson on the "This is wrong wrong wrong" side of the fence. (Which is okay really, 'cause the fence she do block my view of HV.)

Snerk, yes, I think I need a fence as well, if only to bash my head against. I'm glad Wil was appropriately horrified, as the only bit I heard properly through my sleep haze was the theorizing on re-casting other Neighbour's actors as either Anya or Spike. *shudder* So wrong on so many levels.

Also, movie? Hasn't that poor dead horse suffered enough?

Edited to add:

Hee hee hee...Um, being petty and vicious isn't that big of karmic deal is it? Cause I'd hate to come back as a frog or something myself and end up bitter at the irony elves.

Okay Children, I think we're done picking on Angus' secret television guuuuuuurlfriend....

Hasn't that poor dead horse suffered enough?

Apparently not, for it was out enjoying the air again today.

Ha! It's true, I would change teams for Holly in an instant.

If you must pick on a Neighbours star-turned-songstress, please be my guest and maul the unspeakable Delta Goodrem to bits.

I am fat-cat-with-a-fish smug at my complete ignorance of who this is. I knew that depriving myself of television in order to work and attend Law school would pay off one day -- who knew it would be so soon?

This is a case where ignorance is bliss, Leigh.

I'm eating Smith's Potato Crisps' Great Australian Tastes Heinz Big Red Tomato Sauce & Meat Pie Flavour chips right now. And it's (not so) fucking great.

And honestly? They do taste like cold pie and sauce. (And yes, I have no culinary standards. But at least I didn't pay money for them.)

OK, and I thought it was odd when chipmakers in the US came out with potato skin bacon and cheddar chips modeled after the potato skins appetizer served by the TGIFriday's restaurant chain.
