Jackie: (asked if she struggles with the public recognition) Occasionally, when you’ve had a blue with someone or look daggy. On those occasions you might not have the energy to be as receptive as you usually are but, generally speaking, it’s fine.
(edit)
Jackie: (on the "Neighbours" storyline when Susan had amnesia) It was fun to play. It’s up there with the big soap stories such as “the returning twin”! When I first heard about it, I laughed. Then I thought about it seriously and said, “OK, this is an opportunity to discover who this woman was at 16.
(edit)
Jackie: (on what she loves the most about playing Susan in "Neighbours") I love it when she’s wrong - she often is - and when she embarrasses the kids and tries too hard. It’s good when she gets it a bit wrong. I struggle with her being just a passive reactor to stories. I think she’s much more interesting when she’s got things happening.
(edit)
Jackie: (on learning lines) I’m OK with lines - but a well-placed Post-it note on the other actor’s face can be very helpful.
(edit)
Jackie: (on her time in "Prisoner") Prisoner was a wonderful time and I do still see some ex-cast - Janet Andrewartha, of course, who plays Lyn Scully in Neighbours.
