Seachange

Apologies, not overly familiar with the area. only seen it once in bad weather. Ah well. look forward to watching it anyway :slight_smile:

Are you calling Victorians revolting? I wonder if BJT2 will still watch?

It’s a great location for the remake. Hopefully it will find an audience.

Has anybody heard whether there are any more of the original cast besides Sigrid and John returning? Was listening to the TV Blackbox Podcast this evening and they were saying it may only be the 2. if the storyline has Laura’s daughter featuring prominently would it not make sense to get Cassandra Mcgrath back to play the character?

Production starts today, The Australian is reporting. In casting news, Kerry Armstrong is returning as Heather Jelly, with Dan Wyllie and Darren McMullen playing love interests for Sigrid Thornton’s character.

??? Bizarre.

SEACHANGE COMMENCES PRODUCTION

WITH AN ALL-STAR CAST ANNOUNCED

Sigrid Thornton and John Howard reprise their roles as Laura Gibson and Bob Jelly in Australia’s most treasured drama series, SeaChange , which commenced production today.

After the breakup of her marriage and then losing her job, Laura (Thornton) finds herself questioning her place in the world. But when she returns to the beachside paradise of Pearl Bay after 20 years, she learns that her family and her town need her as much as she needs them.

A stellar cast joins the multi-award-winning series: Brooke Satchwell ( Wonderland , Packed to the Rafters ), Dan Wyllie ( Romper Stomper , No Activity , Gallipoli , Tangle ), Darren McMullen ( House Husbands , The Voice Australia ), Katrina Milosevic ( Wentworth , Winners & Losers , Offspring ), Ella Newton ( Playing for Keeps , Neighbours , Newton’s Law ), Kate Lister ( Bad Mothers , Neighbours ) and Alex Tarrant ( 800 Words, Shortland Street ).

Also returning to Pearl Bay is Heather Jelly, Bob’s estranged wife, played by Kerry Armstrong ( The Wrong Girl , Halifax f.p. , Blue Heelers ), and local business owner Kev Findlay, played by Kevin Harrington ( Underbelly , The Wrong Girl , The Dish ).

Original creator and head writer, Deb Cox, returns as executive producer alongside Sigrid Thornton, Fiona Eager, David Mott and Nine’s Andy Ryan and Jo Rooney. Lois Randall is producer with Wayne Blair as set up director.

SeaChange is an Every Cloud Productions and ITV Studios Australia production for Nine, with major production investment from Screen Australia and financed with support from Create NSW. It is distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.

I don’t want to sound critical but what happened to the days when Australian TV would test new talent out as well? It seems like they have cast a lot of actors that have been and are currently in a lot of other productions. Would love to see a few newbies cast.

Maybe there are some newbies but they don’t get a mention in the publicity release because people don’t know them. SeaChange had s big cast of supporting actors.

Since they didn’t bring Cassandra or Cameron back, they should have made Dan, Craig Jelly since he could pass as a recast in that role.

What I would love to have happened is Craig and Miranda expecting a baby and then WWIII erupting between their families over who gets to babysit the child. :joy:

I’m guessing Brooke is playing Miranda then?

Is Bucket returning?
