"But I do have to be biased and say I do especially love this next piece." "Take a look." " I didn't even catch your name." " Hayley." "Noah." "SONG: # Do you hear that?" "#" "# Do you hear that?" "#" "# Go get the drummer now #" "# Give it to me!" "#" "# But you can tell it's not all funk #" "# But you can tell... #" " I think I start at about 5.30." " Morning, guys." " Good morning!" " Hi." " How you going?" " Good." "Tired." "As always." "My first day - you know, it was on Palm Beach." "I remember I was so excited the night before, I couldn't actually get to sleep." "So I woke up really early in the morning but my call time wasn't till 10:00 so I had to wait." "And, um..." "Yeah, so my very first scene was with the actor who played Will." "So that was pretty cool." "I actually got the job back in March 1998 and I didn't even know what part I was playing." "I didn't get to start until August 3, 1998." "I still remember that." "That was pretty cool." " Hayley!" " Will!" "And my very first scene was with Zac Drayson." "I had to hug him and I couldn't actually reach up to get him." "They had to have a box there for me to stand on." "I've been looking everywhere for you." "Were you nervous on your first day?" " I was nervous on my first day." " ( Laughs )" "But I wasn't like shaky nervous." "I was really quiet about about doing the scene and stuff like that." "So I didn't really show it." "I was just really quiet." "( Dance Music )" "Listen, be careful with these guys." " And who are you?" " It doesn't matter." "We got through it, even though I didn't know my lines." " Look, I'm serious!" " I can look after myself!" "So rack off, will you?" "A typical day on Home and Away for me would probably be waking up when it's dark, which isn't fun." "I'm a bit tired." "Usually arrive around 6:00, go into wardrobe unless I don't feel like changing because I'm really, really cold." "Get my make-up done." "So that will probably take about 15 minutes altough each person is different." "NOAH:" "There's a wardrobe truck on location." "So we might pop into wardrobe if we've already got our make-up done." "When you're changing so many times in one day because we shoot all out of order so we go from each different outfit, as a girl, it takes the joy out of shopping." "I couldn't be bothered trying on anything to buy!" "Usually when shooting a scene, people watching the show, they just see the final product on TV, but it's actually harder than it looks because I think, you know, we've got location and we've got studio." "And usually, we rock up to either one." "We have our lines." "We do a line run with the director." "Then we might do a block through without the camera, then a block-through with the camera, then another rehearsal and then a final rehearsal." "And then we shoot it." "Then we don't get the shoot right so we shoot it again." "That one's right so we shoot a back-up." "Yeah, actually, I think my highest number of takes, not necessarily from my mistakes, is 18." "I think we were getting all tongue-twisted and we all had a go at fluffing our lines." "But, like, in studio, each scene, I guess, takes about 20, 25 minutes to shoot, where as on Palm Beach, it takes about an hour, an hour and a half." "We've only got one camera." "In the studio, we've got three cameras which cover all the different angles." "Actually, on Palm Beach is where our characters first kissed." "I think a lot of things about you are great." "Don't tell me you actually like me." "We were only hanging out to annoy Irene." "Yeah, well, that too." "Now, that was just pretend, to get back at Irene." "Of course." "So is this." "In between scenes, I like to noodle about on the guitar." "Anyway..." "Let's see." "How did I get here?" "How did I get here?" "I started in high school." "I did drama." "When I was five, I got into an agency." "I was a really hyperactive little girl so my dancing teacher suggested Mum put me" " into an agency." " I did a couple of ads, a couple of Tv ads." "And then I finished school." "When I was 14, I auditioned for Home and Away." "That was my dream role, to be on Home and Away." "Then I did this audition for..." "for Home and Away." "I knew I had this part, although I didn't know who I was playing." "It didn't feel like it because I hadn't started." " My first day, I was very excited." " "No way!" "Got the job on Home and Away!" "" Cool!" "When am I starting?" This was on Friday." ""You're starting on Monday." I'm like, "Starting on Monday?"" "So I just got this script and rocked up on Monday and didn't know what I was doing." "But it turned out alright." "And here I am now." "When I found out I was playing Hayley, I loved the character and I'm still here over four years later." "And I love it!" "Well, with the fans, I think they're awesome." "I'm very lucky because my character is actually a nice person." "A lot of people, especially younger ones, tend to believe you are your character." "So I'm lucky I play a nice character so I haven't really had any bad experiences." "People always just want to come up for a quick photo of signature, so that's really nice." "All I can say is that they're pretty dedicated." "I never knew how much they liked the show and their dedication to the show." "Otherwise, you know, we probably wouldn't be here." "So I do love working on Home and Away and I love the beach and the fans." "But one of the coolest bits about Home and Away is I got to meet this guy, Beau, sitting next to me." " So, um..." " Thank you." "Yeah, actually, our characters were together first, Hayley and Noah." "So Beau had been here for about six months and then we sort of went, "Ooh!", you know." " I went, "He is not bad."" " She walked into wardrobe and that was the first time I saw her." "But I think..." "I think subconsciously, in the back of my head, it was true love at first sight." "But it was very romantic." "Beau as an actor, he's..." "I think he's really got what it takes." "And when he says his lines, they just come out perfectly." "I think, every time..." "And especially if he has a really hard scene and if it's anger or upset or whatever, he'll nail it every time, especially when he's put the work into it." "What is Bec like as a hum being?" "She is the best little human being on the planet." "She's so tiny." "She's about this big." "Um, she's so nice, nice to everyone, has a bubbly... really bubbly personality and she's always happy and never... never sort of, uh..." "...uh, sort of sad or down when she's at work and stuff." "So, yeah, as a human being, she's... she's cool." "Beau as a boyfriend, he's very, very cute." "And probably like a few guys out there, they seem quite cool on the outside but alone with you, they do cute little things and cute little voices and give you lots of kisses and hugs." "So he's very affectionate and let's you know you're loved." "He always makes me laugh." "That's one of the first things that made me turn my head." "He's a great guy and I love him so much." "Yeah, as a girlfriend, she is best girlfriend ever." "And, yes..." "Yes, I do love her." "A lot." "There's no words." "How was that?" "We hope you loved watching it as much as we loved making it for you." "Keep watching Home and Away." "There are more fantastic stories coming up." "We might see you again soon for another Home and Away special."
