- Fletch and I love working together, we clicked from the day we met years ago on show called Cop Shop, around 1985. We're on the same wavelength and we're lucky to have that. The writers have made Susan and Karl fully rounded characters, and you get the sense they genuinely like each other and love hanging out as friends.
- I love it when Susan has someone to hate! It's great when she's flawed and gets it wrong and you see how stubborn she is. Before the rivalry with Izzy Hoyland, who her husband Karl had a relationship with, Susan didn't hate anybody. Giving Susan a rival again shows other sides of her character.
- The world is a scary place, and the show offers something life affirming, gentle and positive. For half an hour a day it lets people drop their shoulders and get lost in something where characters care about each other - more than ever I think that speaks to an audience.
- I think we've been helped by having our classification upgraded to PG. We've been able to tackle things in a more detailed way. We don't have to allude to things. We can say it like it is.
- The role of the show has always been to try and reflect contemporary society albeit in a suburban environment.
- We had a meeting today where our producers gave us some more information, really nothing more than what's already been out there, but, look, I have to say, the feeling was one of... it was just, it was quite lovely.
- Would you want to be a writer in that room trying to wind up a show after 38 years in a way that's going to please everybody? I mean, no pressure at all!
- These are people that all choose to be there and we work so fast and we care so passionately about the show, and we respect the show and we respect the fans.
- Everybody is sad. We're all crying, we're all very emotional about it all, but we're all so determined to bring this show home as best we can.
- I just want everyone to keep their fingers crossed and not give up hope - anything's possible.
- And we have so much fun. I mean, I have laughed more in the 27 years than I probably should have and been paid at the same time.
- We're all just so determined to bring this show home, as best as we can.
- It's been a rollercoaster, absolutely, the last 24 hours or 36 hours, as you can imagine. Kind of a lot of information to try and process. I still feel a bit in shock, a bit overwhelmed.
- But I know that everyone wants to honour the show and do it with love and with pride and dignity. So it will be big, but I think it will maintain all of those touchstones that have been so important to us.
- It was dismissive and in terms of celebrating our industry and the fact it's been going 38 years, they could have done a much more professional job.
- I thought it was very disrespectful to us and to the industry, That was the best they could do. It felt like a slap in the face and undeserved because I know how hard everyone works.
