Nat's Back! by Jackie Brygel

TV Week, Australia, 4th March 2006

Neighbours fans will be thrilled that the much-loved Natalie Blair is at last returning to her old TV haunt

While Natalie Blair won't appear on our screens for some time yet, we jumped at the chance to pay a visit to Ramsay Street and spend a day with the gorgeous young actress, who has returned to reprise her role as the sultry Carmella. Looks like our campaign paid off! And as you can see from our sneek peek, she's taken no time at all to settle back into filming.

A great Beau

While she's defintely loving being back in front of the Neighbours cameras, there's another reason why Natalie Blair can't wipe the smile off her face. The actress reveals she couldn't be happier in her real-life relationship with former Home And Away star Beau Brady, who is currently on a brief overseas auditioning trip. "Beau's good - he's in LA at the moment for the pilot season," Natalie says. "He's got a manager over there. He's going for lots of auditions. But we talk every night," she continues, adding with a laugh, "it's terrible with the time difference - I always wake him up! Things are going really well, he's very supportive of me."

Natalie didn't have to think too hard when asked whether she'd consider making a return to Erinsborough. "It's awesome being back," she smiles. "Obviously I'm stoked!"

"Caitlin and I get on like a house on fire," grins Natalie, taking time out with her young co-star, who plays Rachel, in the green room. "But I couldn't complain about one single person here."

"The make-up artists here are amazing," Natalie says. "They do such a great job."

Co-stars Ben Nicholas and Damien Bodie are like part of the family to Natalie. "It's mayhem when these guys get together on set," she laughs.

"We always have fun filming," says Natalie, as she shoots another scene with co-star Patrick Harvey, who will be farewelling Ramsay Street in the not-too-distant future. "It's sad that Paddy is leaving soon, I'll miss him," Natalie admits.

Another scene in the can but there are still many more to go before the day ends. "Remembering your lines just comes naturally after a while," Natalie says. "I only have trouble learning my lines when I'm really tired to tell you the truth."

"Carmella is a bit of a glamour girl but that may change," hints Natalie, as she checks out her alter ego's wardrobe.
