Quotes

• On Lyn Scully's wedding to Paul Robinson: It was an extraordinarily windy day in Melbourne, and not too warm either! The poor hair and make-up people were very overworked trying to keep us looking good. But the wardrobe designer made an amazing wedding-party ensemble for all of us - the bride and her bridesmaids, Janelle and Susan. We looked very regal and much more dressed up that we would normally for a wedding in Neighbours.
