While Offspring’s original creator, Debra Oswald, and head writer, Michael Lucas, didn’t take part in the sixth season, the original producers stayed on and Jonathon Gavin, a long-term writer, stepped into the head writer’s position. The sixth season launched with the first episode watched by 1.22 million viewers across Australia, peaking at a staggering 1.59 million. After a two-year break, it was resurrected and came back to our television screens in June of this year. The show played for five seasons and finished in 2014. Offspring is one of Network Ten’s most popular Australian-made comedy/dramas with some seriously good ratings to its credit. “I mean, you’re not only crossing the gender gap which is significant in this country, you’re also crossing the age gap.” “I wish there were more characters like her but we’ve still got a long, long way to go,” she says. “This idea that once you hit 50, it’s all over and you’re some sort of boring, grey-haired, invisible person just appals me.”įor Cropper, Geraldine's character does not play to some terrible cliché, and is more relatable as a result. Part of Geraldine's appeal, according to Cropper, is that age is no barrier. While she’s played a vast array of dramatic characters in her 38-year career, Linda Cropper says playing Geraldine – the outrageous and outspoken grandmother in the popular television drama Offspring – is one of her “favourite jobs of all time.” and it was the eve of the coup, the airport was crammed with hysterical people trying to leave the country! It was pretty touch and go but I got on the plane at the last minute, thank God.Offspring's Linda Cropper shares why she loves playing the larger-than-life grandmother in this WYZA ® exclusive I'm happy to say we patched things up and are still great friends.Ĭoming home from a fairly disastrous love affair in Europe, stopping over in Manila and being told I wasn't on the passenger list for the Sydney leg. At about midnight my friend hugged me, wished me a Happy Birthday and apologised. The meal was great and the wine was flowing liberally. The fall-out was over driving, enough said! My birthday was spent in a villa in Tuscany, a glorious setting, and two friends joined us, thank goodness, as that broke up the tension between us. I had a birthday on that holiday and she was so mean to me, it was awful. I went away with a very close friend and we had a ghastly falling-out. And Sicily similarly is ancient, diverse and beautiful.

Istanbul sounds like an amazing city full of rich history and a vibrant culture, and apparently the country is also wonderful. I'm thinking Turkey or Sicily or possibly both. You can always move if it's terrible but arriving somewhere and not being able to find a bed for the night is a real drag. but that's another story! Another good tip is to book accommodation in advance. Finally I found an enormous thing which I christened "Pachu Mama" in honour of Machu Picchu, which we'd just climbed. No biggie, suitcases are easy to find, right? Not in Lima, Peru, it would appear. I had to buy a suitcase once as mine fell apart. It's very beautiful and very precious.ĭon't take too much stuff with you you can always get it there. I tend to not take jewellery of any value but that is the exception. My beautiful gold St Christopher medal on a fine gold chain that my dear old dad gave me the very first time I travelled to Europe when I was 19 years old. A stomach bug affected most of the group and I was too sick to do the last day of the trek, which actually turned out rather well as that climb was tough and the weather was very cold and windy on the ascent and stinking hot on the descent. I recently returned from a trekking trip in the Larapinta Trail in central Australia.

Good weather is always a big plus and not getting sick. Istanbul sounds like an amazing city full of rich history. On arrival there was the largest basket of fruit you've ever seen, magnificent flowers and a bottle of champagne. I've never seen a bed or bath that big anywhere and there were call buttons next to them for the butler, maid and valet (not that I rang them!). (Yes I met her!) The suite was large and sumptuously decorated. I was put up in a suite at The Savoy in London once because Melba, the mini-series I had starred in, had been turned into a film for a charity screening with the Queen attending.
